Interestingly enough, it is one of the only "talked about" languages I have almost no experience with. Even Roc I've watched a few YouTube videos on. I've only really seen Odin mentioned on X, not even a HN post. I suppo

It's nice to see Zig continuing to gain support. I have no idea why I've ended up siding with Zig in the lower languages wars. I used to root for the D programming language but it seems to have got stuck and never gained a good ec

I mean, isn't that even worse? If I have 100 servers and I'm doing rolling deploys then I'm going to be in a circumstance where some ratio of my services are in one state and some ratio are in another state. If I am reading p

One documentary I watched claimed that they tend to accumulate significant wealth so much so that their effects can be seen on the communities that surround them. There are probably a lot of reasons for this. Much of the profit from the wor

I think it is possible to confuse a positive psychological effect in the sense of bringing you joy as opposed to a positive psychological effect that results in improved communal activity. I mean to say, not all benefits to a community are

I had an idea recently that some of the agile rituals we engage in are actually spiritual rituals. Like, they are these weird kind of shared prayers. The thought came as a result of a YouTube video of monks I happened to watch. The day of s

That is one implication. There is a sense in which the "beauty" that is particular with a rose shares more in common with a lily compared to the "beauty" either share with music. So it is the degree of particular-ness th

Sounds like an experimental question. Maybe 99%, maybe 1%, maybe never. Can you suggest another way to answer your question other than performing an experiment? Can you describe how to perform an experiment to answer your question? Would yo

I think they are fair statements, but perhaps not saying what you think. Plato covers a lot of this kind of thing and it is maybe useful to use his framework (since much of modern Catholicism has a healthy dose of Platonism). Both flowers

It is at least historically important to note that at least Nietzsche and Stirner were reacting to Protestantism as expressed in "modern" Germany. I'm not trying to make a "No True Christian" argument but rather jus

As an aside, and more out of curiosity, I want to mention a tiny niche corner of CogSci I once came across on YouTube. There was a conference on a fringe branch of consciousness studies where a group of philosophers hold a claim that there

I disagree on Zoroastrianism, mostly because it sets up a metaphysic where the universe is a perpetual struggle between lightness and darkness (i.e. good and evil). You might associate that concept with many (admittedly popular) Christian s

I think this is a bad direction to argue from. Science is humans all the way down and we want to have confidence in the scientific process. That is, it is fundamental to our understanding of science that we can trust the collective output o

I think your confusing my post. You can feel however you want about the game itself, it isn't for everyone. Your suggestion that they work on something else for 9 years is also strange. Why would they listen to someone who doesn't

I'm not going to try to gaslight you since your memories are your own. But consider your memory of 9 years ago in the light it occurred. After huge hype, the entire gaming world turned Hello Games and Sean Murray into a meme. Every vid

It isn't for everyone, that is for sure. You can find a lot of things to criticize about the game, as you can will all games. Not everyone likes Factorio, Elden Ring, God of War, Stardew Valley, Rimworld etc. even if they are massive s

That is an incorrect assumption. In fact, I bought it for full price at launch.

No Man's Sky is a bit of a litmus test for me these days. If you still hold a grudge against these guys after everything they've done, the numerous free updates, the commitment to high quality output, etc. then I will have a hard

Sometimes the right idea is tried at the wrong time. It is a decent idea to at least keep an eye on these.

Let's imagine your world, the one where an AI agent hunts through the slop and finds the stand out creators. How would you feel if all of the stand-out creators it found were all AI? If your answer is "well, that wouldn't hap

I worked at a startup that has a blog. They used to pay a content farm company some monthly amount to generate a certain number of useless blog posts per week. Honestly, I don't think any value would be lost if they changed (and I woul

Hotz claims that Axios is reporting this but the only relevant article on Axios I could find [1] did not mention the cracking crypto part (or anything about polynomial time algorithms for factoring). Big if true, but until we get some kind

You know who really cares? The Karen in the HOA who relentlessly hounds the board because one of the units in the complex has the wrong color paint on their door. Be careful what you wish for, or the grass is always greener.

In my humble opinion, a lot of the dislike of operator overloading is related to unexpected runtime performance. My ideal solution would be for the language to introduce custom operators that clearly indicate an overload. Something like a p

I can't speak to Leibniz since I haven't studied his philosophy at all, but there seems to be at least a distinction between a fallen world (or a corrupted world) and a fallen man. That is, you could take the view of some (so call

As a bit of introspection, based on their metrics, I am unwise. I have the bad habit of thinking/acting before I deeply think. I also tend to disregard the thoughts/feelings of others when I believe the decision to be made is one

Just chiming in that I appreciate this resource. A lot of security advice is esoteric and sometimes feels ridiculous. Like a lawyer who advises you not to do anything ever. This guide was refreshingly concise, easy to follow and understand,

I love the idea behind this and thank you for making it MIT license. I just happen to be working on a media app (a video editor) and previously I have built a few video players (in both Flash and HTML/JS). We actually tried to use web
