The prime minister of Canada literally said housing can't come down because it's the retirement plan of a lot of boomers.

Chez Scheme too then!

is MINIX abandonware now? Many years ago I tried to install the release that works (or comes bundled) with a light window manager but it was not trivial and it looked pretty abandoned even back then.

very confusing UI

an optimizing Lua or Lisp compiler

I'm sorry, but what a useless landing page. There is nothing here.

have you read his blogs? he has always been like this.

I’m actually shocked at the number of ChatGPT wrappers ycombinator has accepted recently

As an ML consultant, I’ve seen it happen. It’s hard to find good people and most want to work on impactful things that require big teams, CEOs will tell you to stick around because they plan to hire, soon.

Or they just outsource jobs to cheaper markets.

On that note I beleive GCC 2.95.3 (released 2001) is the last gcc written in C, therefore one of the most important versions and still used for bootstrapping

How does tailwind make money? I can't find any licensing or paid support options.

Which makes cancelling the project an easier decision. In the beginning of my career I was only accepting short term projects, so I learned to always leave the code in a state where anybody can pick it up. I still code in that way, but I know it makes me more replaceable.

it's just a form to leave your email, how on earth is did on the front page.

I don't see the problem here

>> For many people, living on the streets of California is a death sentence.

Canada had few -40C nights this winter, homeless shelters were completely full.

I've seen this shared here and there, but it's not original research, Pedro Domingos doesn't do much of that anymore, mostly spends his time trolling on twitter an calling everybody "woke"

NCBI-APIs-GPT would be a better name, but that wouldn't get as many clicks

Not if you are on macOS, the number of available profilers drops after every release. Same with leak detectors, valgrind doesnt work, sanitizers don't work anymore (even if you compile your own clang).

I can't take this language or company serious after reading stuff like:

"Mojo may be the biggest programming language advance in decades"

I've been around a lot of "deep tech" founders and the obvious answer in their case is VC all the way. Most are doing fun R&D on VC's dime and their company will most likely never be profitable just acquihired at some point.

100% I know a few, same with Harvard

Perl people would use PDL or Math::GSL. I look into these benchmarks because I'm interested in VMs, and yeah the Python VM can be quite slow if you are not calling C code.

These are not the best benchmarks, but Python is indeed as slow as Perl, which I find insane considering that Python has 100-1000 more people working on the interpreter and performance has been a big emphasis the last few years.

Kinton Ramen just added it to their menu

I don’t write it but I read it almost every day while working on high performance C/C++ code. Reading the generated assembly almost always gives me hints on how to optimize the code better

I'll read it when I'm home. But I want to say that the fact that this is from google "quantum AI" makes me doubt the legitimacy. They are really ruining their reputation with all the absurd quantum stuff they have been publishing, e.g: their wormhole stuff and a lot of quantum neural networks bs.

This is terrible, it will only encourage the Canadian gov to regulate more tech related things. They absolutely suck at tech.

TIL google has an office in Buenos Aires, wonder how that works with the current inflation, do engineers get paid in pesos? do they have to re-adjust their salaries every few weeks?
