If they had a store where everyone could try out headsets they would probably have to invent some sort of one-time forhead cover.

Just think about the saying "nobody kicks a dead dog". If there is no hope, there is no kicking. At least there is hope. Encouraging, I know.

Go also have standardized HTTP handlers, and a standardized io.Writer interface for writing to anything, like a file, buffer or a HTTP reply.

I feel like many developers completely misses the point(s) of Go. It is not perfect, but it has a few nice properties: * Simple use of concurrency is simple to use, easy to get right and very useful. Like WaitGroups. * Go was written partly

I have not programmed much in Nim, and I think you are mostly right, but Nim also have keywords and concepts not found in Pascal/Ada/Oberon that clearly comes from Python, like "yield" and iterators: iterator iota(

If the download and installation is fast enough, it feels smooth, and not annoying. If a distro were to appear with this feature enabled by default, I hope they would have the foresight to not include "sl", or at least put it in t

I wish the article would also mention Nim, a Python-like language that compiles to native, and compare it to Mojo. Also, this isn't quite correct: > There is also the approach taken by Go, which isn’t able to generate small applicat

I gave WebLLM a spin. This is a promising start, but it's struggling with code (using vicuna-7b-v0): Write a Turbo Pascal program that says hello world. ```sql program helloWorld; begin write('H'); write(&#

I think this is AI generated, because of obvious mistakes like listing elements of 90's web design which includes "sans-serif" and then in the next paragraph insisting that no 90's web design elements are used, while all

Top-down programming works great when using GPT-4 as a coding assistant, as long as it is told to not stub functions, use placeholder or TODO comments, but use as many undefined functions as it wants. But when it starts calling the same fun

This is a fun little prototype that can: * Record short meetings. * Transcribe the audio using the OpenAI transcription API. * Create a summary, conclusion and a piece of advice, using another OpenAI API. * Send the summary to a Slack chann

Without having properly tried it either, my general impression is that the pitch goes a bit like this: If you love Haskell and wants to make everything that has to so with packages on your system more like Haskell, Nix's got your back.

The amount of issues and pull requests the Godot project is handling on a weekly basis is mindblowing. Kudos and creds to the Godot developers, testers, bug wranglers and other contributors.

Open source utility for generating weekly calendars that can hang in the kitchen. Potentially useful for families, co-workers, people that live together and also for the calendrically challenged.
