Yeah and then why would they explicitly deny it? Maybe the AI was instructed not to reveal its origin. It's painful to enjoy this book if I know it's likely made by an LLM.

I think Flutter could have been a good compromise here. Build a solid (and cross platform) desktop app in Flutter and have it run on all the major platforms. It'll use a lot less resources and also be quick (assuming they know a bit ab

That's it, I'm convinced. Now I'm doing my next startup in Prolog.

So... that seems like possible path towards AGI. Doesn't it?

That's great feedback. Many of us are looking at the next 5-10 years of building network services. Go has its share of issues that simply won't go away. Rust is overly complex ("concept fatigue"). Python will remain slow

When will we see Zig 1.0?

TigerBeetle has a clear purpose and needed those brilliant optimizations. Do you think Zig is suitable as, say, a Go replacement for prod network services and such? Aside from the fact that Zig is still a bit immature in its std library and

Waves and weather can literally make concrete attached to rocky shores go flying... so one must not underestimate those forces.

What about a tiny dot matrix printer? Is that a thing? It would be cool to have as part of a retro computing project.

Apologies, it sounded you were rambling a bit. Had to make sure. The statement "dbt - code is done via VSCode" I found weird. I have used dbt but never VSCode.

I was wondering when someone would bring up Zig. I think it's fascinating how far it has come in the last couple of years and now the new IO interface/async implementation. Question is - when will Zig become mature enough to becom

What do you propose?

Clojure will always be faster than Python. So you have that, at least.

Same here.. I don't use it often, but it is fairly quick on my M2. It did have some mouse focus issues, you have to click around a bit more but that's okay-ish.

Microsoft, especially the Partner site for Microsoft Store and so on, is also exceptionally slow. Regular Azure not much better. I guess the big providers learn from each other.

You just know it's going to creep up on you slowly, then every time you turn around it's slightly closer to you - yet completely still.
