Fun fact: the person who created Pony, Sylvan Clebsch, has been working on a Microsoft Research project called Verona. From it's README [0]: > Project Verona is a research programming language to explore the concept of concurrent o

Not only is the writing interesting but the craftsmanship of the website adds so much whimsy and inspiration to the subject. Absolutely lovely.

If anyone likes overtone singing mixed with western styles definitely check out Toby Twining [0]. You can hear the overtone singing in the voice saying "reee", since that allows a rich-enough tone to produce strong overtones that

The article mentions 'green ammonia' as a potential fuel source for shipping, and I would imagine that Yara is poised to be a large producer of the fuel. Using ammonia as a fuel source is something I've never heard of, so rea

This is a neat experiment, kind of making Rust look more like f# or haskel. I admit that Rust can get a little verbose, so I'm happy to see folks taking a fresh perspective towards it. While I like `^` for marking mutability, other thi

There are arrays, or tables, which I like to think of as being what an array of structs would be in C: https://www.mainframestechhelp.com/tutorials/cobol/cobol-arr... Also, cobol will probably never completely die

Two main points. Care about the details, but don't get overwhelmed. 1) Care about the details. Programming languages are incredibly powerful, but there is a lot of subtle effects that even a tiny change of syntax can make (`*` vs `&amp

This looks really interesting! Although, I'm not sure if this was "first". I know of another approach tried by Hinton and Sutskever in their paper "Using matrices to model symbolic relationships" [0]. I don't s

Can anyone comment on whether Lists, (and especially Teams) are Electron based, or React Native perhaps since Microsoft has a lot of support for that? There is that "webplatformy" look and feel, but I'm not sure?

So I didn't understand what that syntax meant for the code John was talking about, so I figured I would share my findings for other C newbies like myself. (If I am incorrect, please tell me!) This: int (*alloc_attr)(void *c, int

The interaction was probably real, since there is a date and location, but the dialog (and certainly the narration) seems to be taking some artistic liberties perhaps? This is also what Louisa did in her book on the history of quantum mecha

I love this sort of "Historical Fiction" where interactions and conversations between The Great People of Science are imagined and portrayed. A great example of this is Louisa Gilder's wonderful book _The_Age_Of_Entanglement:

Thanks for putting out a working demo. Maybe if you could whip up a way for folks to tweak the basics, we could have a way to "vote". Hopefully that would prevent any "DarkModeGate" fiasco where only a minority ends up l

The "secure video stream" would probably need to be baked into the hardware, like Apple's Secure Enclave https://support.apple.com/guide/security/secure-enclave-over...

Ok so how about an app that does the opposite of this, and can prove that the video/audio data hasn't been tampered with since it was created? I don't think it would need much more than public/private key encryption, and
