Wow. Now you really can get rid of the damn chrome books that kids are stuck using when learning at home. Cheap, powerful hardware without the google data mining and influencing children.

What are these emerging declarative languages bringing to the table that will make people want to switch from what they’re using now? SDLang looks neat and clean, but to me it looks like JSON would get the same work down in the same amount of text. If your only gripe with existing markup languages is simply “I don’t like the syntax”, that’s a perfectly valid reason to switch. But are there any good objective reasons one should switch?

Agreed. I also have the feeling that “selling your privacy” as a commodity is not worth whatever measly dividends that could come of it.

I personally find vin to be a good tool for editing text without leaving the terminal. But when I’m writing a lot of code, I’ve found the vim ide concept to be far more trouble than its worth.

Modern IDEs like VSCode + Vim bindings is my preferred platform

The video decoder can do 4k at 60fps or two stream 4k at 30fps

Gaming is not the purpose of GPU accelerated single board computers. Though you could reasonably play some games on the Jetson Nano, Nvidia markets the jetson series as embeddable machine learning systems. While there may be complaints of how hot the jetson gets or its performance with Ubuntu, the jetson is not intended to be used as a personal computer. It’s cheaper than dirt machine learning access. I highly recommend it as a way to get started in AI or CUDA with the smallest price barrier possible.

Hahaha

I can only imagine how many JS diehard fans are screaming in rage when they read this. I’m with you.

It’s funny. IMO Hacker News which I only recently discovered is what I was looking for in twitter. Now I’m completely off twitter and with HN I get all the neat computer news that I crave. Also I like that for the most part, people keep the discussion civil and constructive when discussing things over which there may be disagreement.

Neat! I’ve looked on amazon and eBay where I could buy a slide rule but haven’t been able to find one. One of my professors told the class that he had a teacher who would challenge any of his students to run any calculation on a handheld calculator before he could do it on a slide rule. The students could never beat him even with long complicated equations. Found that fascinating.

Never heard this before. Good rule of life.

This is very true to me. That’s why I believe it’s important to know when to skim or even call it quits on an article; particularly when the information on the event is limited and every platform seems to cover it with the same details and slightly different fashion. That way you don’t waste time.

Interesting. I wonder if you could factor in “views” for measuring activity, like how many people have visited a thread and for how long. It’s my understanding that most big websites are extremely interested in minutia like where someone spends most of their time on the page, where their cursor is etc. that may be a useful metric for determining engagement.

Agreed. Unless your only requirement for an IDE is text editing and a super convenient compile button, that’s a big time exaggeration.
