You should treasure said rural youth because such lonely luxuries are rare, and will be even more so in the future. Spoken as a rural youth myself.

Absolutely. Submarine launched and with 10000km range it doesn’t even have to be in open seas. Now France would get obliterated too in response but we’re talking a scenario where the US has already « deleted » Italy so the game theory leans

This post like many recent ones like it, essentially wants the internet to go backwards to what it once was pre-LLMs [edit: and pre-concentration]. I'd like to suggest that you should follow through and go all the way to pre-internet i

until you need to start combining things. Docker is conceptually a VM the encapsulates everything nicely, but it ironically doesn't "compose" nearly as well as nix flakes or shells. With Nix you start out with a base env and

But now you’re stuck with Python. Nix enables trivially simple dev environments that are completely heterogenous. This gives you a powerful form of freedom because it literally opens up the entire software universe to your dev environment i

or maybe terseness helps put your brain into pure algorithmic mode? After all that's how mathematical notation works and SDFs are pretty mathematical.

Shouldn't have licenced Golang BSD if that's the attitude. Everybody for years including here on HN denigrated GPLv3 and other "viral" licences, because they were a hindrance to monetisation. Well, you got what you wish

Note how lots of slicing is provided on a bunch of dimensions except the one that really matters: age groups. Fully willing to bet 60+ is both more likely to answer these surveys and very pro-censorship. If we weighted this survey by remain

It's incredibly satisfying to see the polar opposite of the usual LLM/superDB/K8/CICD/Cloud/Container/Crapola corpobloat we hear about on this site all the time, namely a tiny piece of handcrafted code, ir

Lua has been a wild success considering it was born in Brazil, and not some high wealth, network-effected country with all its consequent influential muscle (Ruby? Python? C? Rust? Prolog? Pascal? APL? Ocaml? Show me which one broke out tha

Yeah once you've used Nix[OS] and home-manager, it's hard to go back to apt or brew or the dreaded "sudo make install" without feeling like you need to have a shower afterwards. And I was a loyal Ubuntu person for like 1

ironically, explaining that "we need a simpler API" takes a dense 69-page technical missive that would make the Kronos Vulkan tutorial blush.

This is a cool website but it's hardly groundbreaking. There have been hundreds (thousands?) of three.js/babylon.js in-browser demos over the past decade and this would qualify as top 10% area, but there's nothing here that h

The last paragraph captures the essence that all the PL theory arguments do not. "Zig has a fun, subversive feel to it". It gives you a better tool than C to apply your amazing human skills, freely, whereas both Rust and Go ar

market economics are like newtonian mechanics. It's all so wonderful and logical and even elegant, until the dimensions expand a few orders of magnitude, and then all the rules break. Having worked on a trading floor for 20 years I kno

Knowingly attempting to buy or sell in quantities likely to move markets, for direct profit, is called manipulation and is most definitely illegal. this is true in physical markets commodity markets and financial markets. Not saying that th

A case could be made though that it is OpenAI who is operating illegally, attempting to corner the market.
