Such a cute website <3

In my opinion Andy Weir is not a very good writer anyways, he is ok. When the story is interesting enough that is typically fine, like in The Martian. Hail Mary is too long certainly, characters a little flat, however, Ray can fix the flat characters in the audio book a little with his good voice acting.

Yeah I also didn't like the book at all, it read like a cash grab. However, just listen to a sample of the audio book, it's just hilarious how much effort Ray put into making the characters become alive. Certain significantly improving the lack of writing, of course it can't fix the writing.

The problem with Project Hail Mary is that the audio book is good but the book is not. First read the book and then listen to the audio book and you know what I mean.

Of course it is a personal attack on the character of the person. That is the only thing guard-railing spreading nonsense. Software people need to work on their character.

This post is sooo symptomatic of people who have too much time and don't seem to be educated beyond their field. Overthinking something that maybe not that complicated after all. The egos of software people is just bigger than it should be. Also mythical thinking like "10x bla bla" is symptomatic.

That's the cliché, and I dont think it's even remotely true.

I'm younger than you and I still can't read it at all :OOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Who care who thinks what, a tweet, really? As if we have to agree on some pointless statements. In certain areas it is used, in others not. Now what?

I really don't know what the point of such posts are. It is only relevant for people who want to go into scientific computing, and even there you have some GPU rewrites going on. So not everyone is using it but physicist etc. do. Also the legacy code is huge, like with C++.

Damn, that sounds so cool. But sounds like a hard task for a beginning career.

Strange discussion here. I'm a developer in everything for 20 years and the last 7 probably in large JS/TS applications.

I switched to Blazor Server for the last year in a new company and it has a montrous amount of benefits.

First of all, do not pretend that you are Google or Facebook. This is a repeated mental illness that developers suffer from. No won't face any performance issues. The contrary, Blazor is blazing fast.

However, there are couple of issues when it comes to interactivity with javascript frameworks. Until .net 7 you could use every JsRuntime.JsInvoke... something like that to invoke JS function. In .net 8 they changed something and you cannot use it like that anymore or you get strange subtle errors when you get "too" dynamic. I'm figuring it out right now. But other than that you have a gigantic .net stack with build-in support ORM, RateLimiter, Caching, Distributed-Caching, MVC, WebAPI, ... The list of features is infinite.

It is always surprising to know for the minority how poor people actually are ..

These subscription models are straight up scam if a webservice is not essential for its working and also then it must be resonably priced. I pay for MS Office + OneDrive probably 7€/month. So how does this shit add up?

This is Future Perfect in English, hence the name Prophetic Perfect Tense, I guess.

It is also not that similar, since PPT is speaking about events in the future in past tense as if they have already happened and Future Perfect/Futur II uses "will": "I will have finished my homework by tomorrow."

The UI is garbage. It's like GIMP. I'm more than happy to pay for software especially when it has a well designed (user first) UI. It is not only the UI, it is the UX generally. It's weird and nerdy and thinks it must be "better" somehow.

Has the word "advanced", must be good ..

Its purpose seems understanding and showing implementations of data structures, in this sense JavaScript is used like pseudocode. No sane person would implement something efficient outside of C++ or C.

As if they give a shit. This was the case since decades they doing similar practices.

I find your points rather weird.

> e.g. how to make a piece of state inside one component accessible from another.

That is logically the same with every component framework, there is only one correct way to design it, flowing inside data are props, outgoing data are events. Was always the same.

How does this makes any sense? There is no need to deprecate the component declaration cause of the way it works. Instead of exporting a native JS Object you just use defineComponent({...}) to get type annotations, that it.

As always, I find these ranking-based justifications for decisions just plain stupid and childish. Also with Vue 3 you won't have any issue and it is already out for a while, so what have you been doing anyways?

- Nuxt only matter if you want to use it, is not Vues problem, because you talking about another software which addresses a different problem. - Typescript support is only a problem if you want to use Typescript, imagine, there is also a world beyond TS. - Performance, often a matter of design and understanding your framework

What significantly else? These seems to be many reasons why people dont use Lisp.

This is so bizarr, I wouldn't even know how to inspect, verify and critique the claims made. Also there is no subject in such simple algorithms, very relaxed use of big words.

Nonsense, as always from AI research. Not even single neurons are properly understood and hardly possible to simulate. Don't even get me started about all this marketing bullshit.

I hope someone creates a modern build which can run on current Windows versions.

:D

Science is about knowledge and not about serving the purpose of some people who define "progress" for some political or economic reasons, .. or because they want attention.

I wished everyone would read "Law, Legislation & Liberty" by Hayek, where he criticizes people who think systems, like economy, work like an organization. That is, that one can through rational planning and arrangement achieve some goal. That is NOT how markets, economy, society etc. works. That is of course an attack on the utilitarian principles.

Only uneducated minds could fall into the trap of thinking in exploitative utilitarian ways about everything, including themselves by self-abusive through productivity obsession. This discussion could not be more US American.

It is generally a weird attitude to required "societal progress" from scientists. Neither the term "progress" is clearly defined and does not need to be, nor does science at all work on such principle.

It is like asking artists what the benefit on society is, it does not make sense to ask that question in that context, because it is not about exploiting something for a moment in time for some purpose which is supposedly "progress".

I think Sabine is way overdoing her position for marketing purposes and everyone is biting..

I am started to get annoyed at these developer children, as someone who has majored in CS at a university.

There are some genuinely interesting things to write about in software engineering and development. Instead they choose to rant about degrees that either are from a bad university, or one which they never completed.

Ehem, Windows, anyone?
