Why is this downvoted? This is correct.

Have you read the article?

I’m reasonably skilled talking to strangers (can last about 3-4 hours in planes/trains/buses if the other party is up to it, after that I usually dry out of conversation), and do that frequently.

However after several years of heavy traveling and hundreds of people talked to, you realize how similar everyone is. It is always the same issues, wife/husband, the kids, the parents…

And it all starts to become a bit superficial. Sure, you can talk, but to what avail? You realize how shallow the situation is because the common ingredient in all stories is that everyone only ever care about their closed ones, which you and them will never be.

And you reassess the book option whose insight or knowledge may very well impact your life much more than yet another seconds to hours long chitchat.

I actually think that with LLM we may very well hit a plateau in innovation here, because now the ugly syntax is not a hurdle anymore, since you don’t write it anymore by hand.

Thanks for the writing, which would have been even better had it been written by a human.

OK, I don't think it would be the case if it was one of many algorithms offered by Anubis, especially if it's enabled by the webmaster.

That being said I don't know any crypto that would technically fit as a lightweight PoW.

it does not answer if it's a conscious design choice or just a technical limitation of the PoW, or just a "patch welcome" issue.

what about something (crypto being the only idea I have) that could be leveraged to reward the website owner?

I’m still surprised by Anubis’ decision not to make the PoW have a useful output, for example a crypto, protein-folding like, or something else.

And I speak as being generally very critical of cryptos, but here rewarding the website owner with some cents to have access seems fair, and resolves the traditional issues about micro-payments.

> Operations like filter and map allocate memory, but that allocation is only necessary if the value escapes. The Swift standard library provides .lazy.map and .lazy.filter, but they don’t work in every case. For logic that only iterates over the filter or map, it’s much more efficient to loop with continue (or use for … in … where) and transform elements into local variables as necessary.

It does feel like a compiler/optimiser failure to have to rewrite those cases.

The day after, Microsoft announces the depreciation of the TS compilers as all programs get written in rust with IA from now on.

The real culprit is having the awkward alt+F4 used for closing an application instead of cmd+W or cmd+Q on macOS for example.

I don't think it'd necessarily be a good decision, sometimes CVE are actively exploited and need quick patching.

A better safety net would be to require active 2FA proof for every package update.

how do you check?

> i think there's a lot of room to make things better

I think the question is why not try to make the other FOSS forges better instead of reinventing the wheel.

Why anyone would still use mypy besides legacy infrastructure is beyond me. It is dog slow as well as being the laziest of all, not catching many mistakes.

Unfortunately for Django apps switching to any alternative leads to the dreaded “wall of errors” issue. If anyone got to work this out in the past, I’d gladly take advices.

> We usually call open source software without open collaboration source available software.

Not at all. You are of today’s lucky 10,000 [0]. Open source refers to OSI-compliant licenses, not open to contributions. SQLite is open source but not open to contributions.

I was really eager to use those new frameworks until a recent HN comment raising how power-hungry and wasetul these were for most of their usage (terminal, forms, tui), and now I think it will probably be seen as ‘bloat’ in the future.

> making it very easy to go from O(n) to O(2n)

Strictly speaking I assume everyone knows O(n) = O(2n) =O(kn) for k in R.

But I see your point. I assume any decent compiler would merge the loops though

An Issue tracker is to track issues regarding the behaviour of the program, not the behaviour of the maintainer.

Almost all the commits are regarding the testsuite or CI, both of which are IMO great use of AI.

Seem to me some people have forgotten about FOSS projects

While the effect system seems way more general, it’s a bit sad the example only talk about logging or IO, both of which can be simply done with dependency injection

I’ve used effects in scala3 with cats-effects and haven’t been impressed. All in all, the way it was used was just to reimplement a very similar interface to exceptions.

Tangential, how does slint fare compared to Druid/egui(?)

There’s increasing consensus among doctors that at that age any non-physically supervised usage is detrimental to their health.

Would you say the same of eg: parents giving alcohol or smoking to their teenagers?
