This section of the docs has some examples: https://neon-lang.dev/docs/overview.html Seems like a work in progress, other sections of the docs (like the tutorial) are blank as well.

Hardware encoding cares about consistent real-time output above all else, with power usage as the runner-up. It can focus on that because software encoders are just flat-out better for use cases involving quality - they have access to more

It doesn't account for anywhere near the whole difference, but in a tight loop like that Python's going to be spending a good chunk of its time re-compiling the regex from the raw string literal every iteration. Hoist the regex de

Flagged - this is a link to someone asking Github to change their policy, and Nat Friedman's response saying they will ( https://twitter.com/natfriedman/status/1271253144442253312 ) is non-trivial to find in th

Reason is a syntax layer on top of OCaml, so it shares OCaml's production-readiness. The tooling that Reason uses to compile to JS (Bucklescript) was originally designed for OCaml, and Reason supports native targeting via the plain OCa

The "on i386" part that you stripped out when quoting is actually the important bit. Rust does not care about having a self-hosting 32-bit x86 toolchain, while the lack of one is a deal-breaker for OpenBSD.

Before voting on this post, please note that the body of it is a copy/paste of the linked Reddit post and does not appear to be newsletterguy's personal opinion.

Unless I'm missing something that Electron adds to the equation, that's already possible (and common!) via standalone Flash player packages or Adobe AIR. There's a fair number of smaller indie games on Steam distributed that

With respect, what you're saying is absolute nonsense in the context of ground rods. They're hunks of metal clad in copper and driven into the ground with a sledgehammer. They're so simple that there's literally no part

Pyenv is a different thing than venv, it manages versions of Python itself rather than isolating dependencies for projects. You're probably confusing it with pyvenv, which is Python 3.4+'s command-line interface for managing venv

Twin Galaxies is notorious for banning glitches completely and it's one of the many reasons the speedrunning community abandoned TG. If he glitched, his runs would be invalid by TG's own rules. As far as glitching in speedruns no
