Not in my experience. You must be running something that is not agreeing with some Ventura change?

I use daily both an MacBook Air m1 and x220. I have the 9 cell for the x220 and run Linux on it. Battery life for the most work (I do) is similar on both. There are some interesting cases; running Docker drains the m1 (only ARM images) fas

You can do fake pointer arithmetic which won't hurt this use case (server-side web framework); if you implement Gforth as an interpreter on the JVM/CLR or running it with Emscripten, there is no issue for server-side web framewo

Maybe a nitpick, but > memory unsafe language That's the implementation thing, not the language. You can implement an ANSI Forth standard like GForth in a memory safe way without a lot of issues. Even the memory allocation words[0]

Same here. Got absorbed and it killed everything good about the place.

My father (quantum mechanics) would sometimes submit awful but working code to Dijkstra without proofs just to piss him off. Dijkstra didn't like the looseness of the physics students when it came to software development, while physics

You can write a Forth-like in a few lines of a modern language and then keep expanding it. There are Forths for the smallest systems and challenges of minimal instruction set Forth, like [0]. The article [0] explains what people (and myself

Forth is nice and very handy to have on something like and Arduino Uno (and similarly spec MCU's) etc. It allows rapid experimentation without compiling/uploading.

This is what we do; for me it came from ancient times when I was doing fulltime C dev and I mostly kept it up (but improved) except when working on teams that want or already have exceptions all over in all layers.

You can ask the same about a multi millionaire though, no need to be a billionaire to stop working. Many people who achieve things don’t want to sit still and have a lot of things they want to still do. From personal observation (reading ar

How do you know this? You seem to imply billionaires cannot stop working because they don’t have cash? Every billionaire can take 10m+$ and sit and drink cocktails 24/7 and do nothing the rest of their life. Many do not want to, but I

This seems to be normal in a lot of companies that pay for Oracle products; they use clauses in their contracts and licenses to trigger audits or you can just pay up. Many (most?) pay up because it is easier.

We recently brought a large js project from js to ts and, while we had issues, almost all to do with transpiling and the obvious end result being javascript which is not typed. Coming from f#/c#, and having used Purescript, typescript

It already has far more utility than web3 ever had. So many people are already using this to get far more productive. Don’t know about the startups, but GPT3+ is already a success for actually productivity.

Like people walking into you while looking on their phone, which, somewhere like central London, happens 1000x per day? That used to be frowned upon and before that (90s) it was straight-up weird. At least with AR you can see where you are

Is this kind of plastic phone holder always the first step for something breaks into the market? VR had that everywhere after the Oculus Rift dev came out and things were hyped up; I picked some up at the airport because there were huge sta

I am closer to 50 and didn’t notice much decline yet, however to pre-empt it, I started journaling. I write down what I did per day, tech solutions, how I got to them, links to git repos, what I cooked with ingredients etc. It is fun to be

My first memory of going to a dentist was the school dentist (in the Netherlands); they said I had a cavity. I was small so I started shouting (when a needle came out) that I wanted my mother; she came and told them to keep their hands off

Depends what the therapy is for I think. There are mental struggles worse than broke and unemployed for some, even with a lot of money. Parents should encourage, not force imho.

It was but isn't anymore. It's just a commercial company now as far as it appears from the outside. I too had the same hope, but it seems that it went out the window a while ago.

Could be, i'm not American and it's not built into anything of myself. But I know many founders here (in the EU) who think like this as well. And I guess there is even less chance of them making it that big.

Paypal does this as well; our money (a lot of money) got locked because our competitor (we found out years later because they were bragging about it) used stolen/fake cards to buy our product. They don’t side with their client; they si

In my experience (so anecdotal) there is a lot of weird reasoning going on by founders, akin to ‘I vote for low taxes and against a more socialist system while I am poor as dirt, because one day I will be rich and then I would’ve shot mysel
