I haven't seen Quinetic before. This is ever smarter than the solution in the article. Just use the kinetic energy of the press, rather than collecting ambient energy. Seems more reliable. OTOH limits what kind of switches can be used.

Every day I need to add a new feature to my app, I am grateful I picked fly (serverful) rather than Vercel. The fact that as far as I'm concerned, it's just a computer, is incredibly useful. We've added long-running tasks, ba

Damn I remember this. The feeling of booting up a full GUI system with PPP dialing and a browser off of a 1.44MB disk was incredible. I played with it for days.

>Extism isn't something special compared to any other open source project in this domain Well, ok, can you give me an example of some other project doing this sort of interop without manual memory mapping?

by xmonkee 3y ago
Thanks. I'm not sure how this maps to the original example, though. This is about compiling a standalone program which translates POSIX apis, it seems? How about calling it from Rust with string args etc?

Can you link to a similar example using WASI?

A friend of mine recently asked me the dreaded "How do i get into programming". I pointed them to easylang.dev! Thank you for making easylang, I plan to use it to teach anyone new to coding.

I've only briefly played around with Godot, but how does one get type-assisted autocomplete on variables and methods? Is there a type-hinting for the IDE? Kind of broke it for me. Maybe I should've tried C#.

>but generally C++ programmers prefer to be explicit and include the namespaces. why, though? Collisions in the stdlib? stdlib is too new to not be the default for these names?

What a strange take. Why does it matter what it found? Why are you okay with any tracking whatsoever as a user?

Counterpoint: syncing across devices, sharing, embeddable media and searchability are actually all kinda table-stakes if I'm going to be using these notes for the rest of my forseeable life. I have shared notes with my wife where we ha

why not use the notes app? you get in built folders and shari g options too

Yeah, vi mode is a must for me at this point. I have the readline shortcuts on a post-it on my monitor for the odd time i find myself in a sqlite repl or something.

You are literally blaming the victims here. Tell me what the "left" did which deserved our children getting bomb threats? Be specific.

by xmonkee 3y ago
Bro you're out here defending weirdos threatening to bomb libraries because of some fucking stupid boogeyman about trans ideology. Go fuck yourself.

Going by their claims, they are showing off their generalizable platform, Rama, by building an application on top of it. The application is an example, not the product. For example, someone implements a Todo app on their hot new javascript

Dude its pretty clear what it does just from scrolling down the readme. “Its just like php” if that helps you, but you can also write frontend state management and dynamic behavior right there in the “template”, all in Python.

Got it, thanks. As I understand it, it's like Redwood (with great defaults and libs included) but only for the frontend. I think that's an important niche for sure.
