Even back in 2013 there were these ideas: https://forum.nim-lang.org/t/278 I think you & I are really back & forth-ing "the PLang not enforcing/strongly encouraging a very specific way of doing things that a whole…
Yeah. Other ecosystems are undeniably larger than Nim's. I keep hearing about how LLMs are going to nullify that advantage with "not so sloppy" ports of anything to any PLang, but I've yet to see that pattern…
This is misinformation. There is (at least!): `method`, procedurally typed fields (inside case-object variants or not), run-time keyed `Table` with proc values, {.dynlib.}, importc/importcpp things. Beyond that, yes,…

You're welcome. Another lesser known wrinkle along these lines is that if more of Aristarchus of Samos' work on heliocentricity had been developed into a "calculational framework" for planetary motion by a…
Yeah. My point was mostly to expand upon your original post - sorry if it sounded like I disagreed. You say the same in your original "iteration of speculation and observation". Everything else is about what "derive"…
This is something of an aside on your first paragraph and lh712's. The theory of special relativity (and field theory in general) can be derived (as done in e.g., Landau, Lifshitz _Classical Theory Of Fields_) without…
Something Dan does not observe in his article (perhaps Jamie does elsewhere?) is that the same problem which makes the memory latency benchmark unrealistic (or at least misleading) often impacts hash table lookup…
I just tried a tar file of a git clone of the linux kernel sources where the most recent commit is 72c395024dac5e215136cbff793455f065603b06 (early Feb of this year). zstd -19 got a slightly smaller size (3582930348…
The "scatter line plot" in TFA is all same shade of red on white with no year labels. This seems like a missed visualization opportunity. Using some kind of color scheme/gradient to represent the 1979-2026 years in a…
Don't forget head, tail, mount, strip, touch, etc. My GF when I was first learning these names was convinced the Unix principals did all this quite deliberately and "finger" was her headliner argument. Evidently, even…
I only said anything at all because the implication was not "missing minor nits about whatever your favorite proxy for 'will rely' is" but rather "nothing at all". FWIW, the keyword was "index" and the result was adix,…
I don't know what @winding means, exactly, but at best this seems highly misleading. Nim had babel packages by around 2010 (when it was called Nimrod and there was a Tower of Babel name scheme) and then nimble packages…
There is a python3 variant in this thread [1], but if that is not "standard enough" (as someone else may have mentioned bash itself is not POSIX), this awk would also work { Warning - this awk is 1000s of times faster…
That Matrix visual was actually specifically mentioned as an inspiration in the video by the designer being linked to/discussed elsethread (e.g. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48830326 )
FWIW, his screens looked a lot like OSX to me (which tracks with graphic design users in my experience). Anyway, he seems like a very nice fellow and I wish him and almost all T-shirt designers well. That bash script…
Yeah. The Flask web-page prototype was indeed in Python. (The prequel shirt was Go.) { Also, it was my own Py version which I mostly did in case anyone wanted to actually run the thing after such interest was expressed…
For anyone that cares, this is a slightly less stupid Python version: #!/usr/bin/env python3 from os import environ; E = environ.get from math import sin from time import sleep text = "♥PEACE♥FOR♥ALL" # The text to…
I watched that whole video link - thank you for that - and he doesn't really say. In fact, he spends much more time on the beige color harkening to computer case plastics of the 80s & 90s. The AI not handling the output…
That is a good list. While I'm sure many companies could be added, I only post to include DEC https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Equipment_Corporation whose `vt50/vt100/vtXX` ideas may be with us, in software, for…
`procs display` (mentioned elsethread https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48788167 ) supports PSS via its %M format code. One issue with that relative to RSS is permissions. Historically, all procs could see the RSS…
A different usage paradigm from *top that I have come to like better is to do differential ps-like reports and system-wide (like vmstat) reports which leaves everything in your terminal scrollback buffer as in:…
I don't really disagree much with what you said. My favored PLang Nim (https://nim-lang.org/ -- it has both `ref` and `ptr` styles of pointer, one auto-managed, one manually managed) even changed a while back it's `nim…
