   I learned Nim last year by rewriting some of the core Arduino functionality in C, and then wrapping them in Nim. (I also wanted to better learn C and better understand how Arduino's internals work, thus the convoluted approach) A few o

   One of the child comments made the observation that "this speaks Redis." Makes me wonder if there is any spec for the Redis commands. I.e., in the same way that SQL defines an interface, but leaves the details up to individual imp

   This is a better way to frame the discussion, IMHO. The conversation is around Apple, which is critical, but we need to compare them to the rest of the industry, and discuss the government/citizen tradeoffs in that light. I.e., holisti

   The dot com boom is a reasonable point in time to make the cut. But it's never a single event. Ever other posters referenced 9/11, which was definitely another major event. I'd add Columbine as another event, which occurred i

    Sounds like the consensus here is that the M1 feels faster, and is actually faster, for a lot of tasks. So, for a lot of engineers, the M1 is the better choice over Intels. (Faster compile times are a good thing for devs, among other things
