I don't believe the source was talking about lifetimes but rather creating clever types regarding ownership. Some "programmer" must still construct said types. I would agree that lifetimes are taken out of "the programme

If it's just about number of years then Rust 1.0 was in May 2015, so more than 8 years. Does a "thing" need to be around for a decade+ to no longer be "hot" or "new"?

The trick could definitely work with rust since fundamentally it's "just" a hack on how the various scripts work on different systems. Actually getting the rust compiler to produce cosmopolitan binaries would likely be a heav

IIUC there is no syscall translation, it's more like there are separate libc implementations and the correct one gets selected at program start based on the OS.

The Tao Te Ching came up on HN recently and I wrote this blog as a possible starting point to adopting a lens which could help in understanding it.

Are there two versions in the same translation? You gave two versions to number 9 in this very post!

It's funny to say there is "no definite meaning" when the action proposed is non-action, the meaning defined is un-meaning, the way is wuwei.

Many would say we need fewer concepts to understand spiritual things, and Taoism is the attempt to unlearn your grasping mind. Instead we always have more. So it goes.

IIUC much of the bible's "wisdom" is taken from older root traditions. According to Mitchell's (the same Mitchell, he IS an expert in ancient Hebrew) translation of Job the entire book isn't even about a Jew but is

He has translated many works from other ancient languages and is a trained Zen monk. In the spirit of Taoism he is likely a better translator than an intellectual. The work is brief. There is room for multiple translations and interpretatio

Traditionally Taoism was a path for the old, for those who had completed their duty. Confucianism is the path for the young, for those who must fulfill their duty. One might say that fulfilling your duty without resistance is in fact follow

Thin film lithography is the most promising IMO. Low temperature and can be done on glass instead of purified silicone.

Sam was one of my main inspirations in starting http://civboot.org . Awesome to see he's managed to make his own chip now!

You inspired me to re-examine it. I wrote up the new design here: https://github.com/civboot/civlua/blob/main/zoa/README.md It's still in it's initial stages, but I'd love feedback :D

As I said, I mispoke. Here's how I think a JSON equivalent format should be structured: https://github.com/civboot/zoa/blob/main/notes/dynamic.md "Simple" in that it's trivial to

I misspoke, I should have said protocol. I'm referring to the bytecode not the text format. I'm probably throwing away the text format, for the reasons you outlined

Man, I used to have the terminology right. I'm slipping since not doing async stuff in a while :)

This is cool, but it makes me kind of sad how so much time must be devoted to the build setup and understanding the only available (and poorly documented) executable format. Love the content though.

Ya, basically just a file you dump things at in incrementing indexes and a index file to quickly look up keys. Your other comments are the kinds of thoughts I approach this with. I'm hoping for the final (simple fab) CPU @100MHz and at

We almost always talk in bytes. When trying to reason about alignment it's bytes, when reading a serial IO from a file it's bytes. I hardly ever think in bits and when I do, I think in hex not decimal. I also like that it makes al
