Would be cool to see if they could make it play starcraft too and pit it against alphastar.

Do you know of any dishwasher powder (not pod) that's both effective and less likely to cause gut issues?

The dataframe paradigm (a good example being polars) is another good alternative that's more composable (imo).

For better or for worse fyrox is not something too novel/new. So people don't really see a reason to use it over godot or other engines. Doesn't mean bevy is better or anything, just that because it's so different people

> I doubt it. C is well within 2x of what you can achieve with hand written assembly in almost every case. Depends what you mean, if you preclude using targeted ASM in your C I think some hot loops can be much slower than 2x. Of course p

lol i wonder if this will create a market for PKI at the image sensor level so that videos will be cryptographically signed and baked into the actual video stream with steganography.

The pattern you're looking for is: ``` fn operate_on_a(a: A) -> A { // do whatever as long as this scope still owns A a } ```

Might make sense getting it to instead create a CST traversal that deletes feature flags by their id. Then you have a re-usable trustworthy tool that you can incrementally improve/verify.

Is this usable with local inference?

flix also looks pretty nice

Yeah, imo that's the way that python should've worked in the first place. Import-time side effects are definitely nasty though and I wonder what the implications on all downstream code would be. Perhaps a lazy import keyword is a

Pretty cool, though I think in practice network latency dominates so much that this kind of optimization is fairly low impact. I think the main advantage is perhaps the robustness against packet drops is better.

Hmm, bisect is definitely not one of those.

Not only, you also must be able to delete user data. If you have anything that could be considered PII (including IP addresses) you're responsible for potentially needing to delete that. It completely makes certain engineering patterns

I'm curious what the implications are if I host a free web-app that EU users might end up using. As far as I understand, you're still subject to GDPR even if you're not making money off it. Seems like to me there's massi

I don't have a strong love for python, but all the tooling the author mentioned has actually made python fairly decent to use now. Still could be better, but I think Python's really hit its stride now.

Sounds similar to IPFS.

Curious what you see as outpacing polars, hybrid analytical/streaming query engines?

uv and ruff are a great counterexample to all those people who say "never reinvent the wheel". Don't ever do it just for the sake of doing it, but if you have focused goals you can sometimes produce a product that's an o

I personally really like marimo. It's very easy to use and for data analysis type tasks it seems to work a lot better than jupyter in most cases.

I guess the question is is wealth inequality/income inequality something to be targeted? Also, there's the question of whether the living standards of the poorest improve faster if we target wealth/income inequality?

He said LLVM, not LLM. Maybe it's the same reason as Go, to be able to guarantee that codegen runs really fast.

In general though, a strong statically typed language will allow the user to locally reason to a much greater extent.

Ironically the strongest advocates of dynamic languages tend to be places where a strong type system would solve a huge percentage of their bugs. Web development is mostly the munging of data together and ensuring that you're glueing s

> Code can type check but not be correct. Depends on your type system. It can prove the correctness of certain properties depending on your language. Conversely, unit tests can pass but your code might not be correct.

Anyone use xarray? Curious how it compares?
