Check out Roc[0][1] by Richard Feldman; it's early-stages (perhaps earlier stages than Elm?) but from everything I've seen it looks a bit like a spiritual successor to Elm, though focused more on native applications (but still see

No reason they couldn't all aim to respect a `TELEMETRY=false` env var, akin to the web's 'do not track' request.

I've been a pretty strong advocate of the idea that analytics should always be minimal, 100% anonymous, aggregated, and open to the public - otherwise it’s spying. This is how we do analytics on our websites today[0][1], and how we pla

This is pretty much exactly what we've built at Sourcegraph. Microsoft had introduced (but pretty much abandoned before it even started) LSIF, a static index format for LSP servers which encodes in detail all possible LSP requests&#x2F

In the top right corner of the tooltip it will say either "Search-based" or "Precise" - in this case, you're right, we don't have the abseil-cpp repo indexed so it falls back to search-based as you describe. We

FWIW Sourcegraph has fully precise/semantic go-to-definition, find-references, etc. We use SCIP code indexers (a spiritual successor to LSIF, the Microsoft standard for indexing LSP servers)

I'm sad to see comments like this. When I was starting out years ago, my passion project ended up on HN with a very dismissive comment similar to yours - and it almost turned me off of my passion project of 4 years. I looked at their p

It's important to note that particulate matter and VOCs are not equal in danger and bodily effect. For some reason people act like they are all the same. It's like saying you got liquid in your eyes: the type of liquid matters an

Really putting the router in an aluminum enclosure/Faraday cage if you can is the only way to prevent this. Then just use the lan ports on the device, but also make sure the LAN cables are shielded because it could be using them as ant

If that happens be prepared for it to become the No Employ list. Employers run background checks via services, and those services will quickly integrate such a list as a flagged item on people.

Thanks - we're in the process of redoing the whole site so I didn't notice those were busted. Fixed now :) Our browser support is still a work in progress (and browsers don't support WebGPU yet), so we primarily run on window

Vulkan has a lot going for it these days, but IMO the problem with its future is that (a) it's too verbose to use without an abstraction on top and (b) vendors won't stop pushing their native APIs as a competitive advantage (Micro

basisu (Binomial's Basis Universal GPU Texture Codec) is pretty much state of the art here. Open source, offers excellent compression and very quickly decodes to pretty much all GPU native formats.

yes; actually it's pretty cool because it shows you docker containers running on your system too and lets you manage those if you have any.

Would you be OK with Chrome blocking all websites that do not use Google as a payment processor, and them taking a 30% cut? They built the platform where websites run, and other platforms exist..

Erector sets were incredible, as a kid I built RC cars out of those with some over-powered motors and such. Super fun times. I would guess Mindstorms gives more of an intro to programming, while Erector is better for mechanical engineering.

This is correct, my understanding is devirtualization is quite sufficient in general and fine for Zig's allocator interface. The challenge/solution outlined in my article should not be read as "vtable bad!" but rather &q

You and GP's point is that these applications win on the merits of their user experience. That's not wrong, in fact I'd say that's absolutely true. But it's important to call out that the user experience most peop

Admittedly I didn't know C had bit fields like that, so I didn't cover them. I've never seen them used in practice and I've used quite a lot of C libraries. I wonder why that is? One major difference appears to be that C
