I would say the flagship Zig project is TigerBeetle, not Bun.
Consensus may give a hint to what is or isn't reality. But consensus—even expert consensus—does not determine reality. Experts can be wrong. Most of the experts, even, can be wrong simultaneously. Philosophy is the…
It's definitely not a system default (unless it's a system I've had access to for more than ten minutes!), but: I use Janet[0] for this. [0] https://janet-lang.org
Right, yes, of course... the, um... domain reflections and... line settling levels. It's like you read my mind, thanks for addressing those.
I mean... Yes, but there's nuance here. Using 400 MB of RAM vs 100 MB of RAM is close to unnoticeable in a world of a GB+ for a single Chrome tab... And if "easier for our developers" means the end user is getting more…
Hey, that's clever, actually. I didn't do that because I didn't think of it!
I have a crystal clear memory of the day I stopped trying to make voice assistants work for me. I use a timer every day to brew my coffee. With a voice assistant I can set a timer, but with the lack of a screen I can't…

I agree with you on that point. It seems to me that people who read Blindsight and get all existential are not thinking things through all the way. Blindsight poses the question, in essence, "What if consciousness is a…
Agreed on all points. I was presenting a deliberately bad argument in order to make the meta-point that arguments like it are unhelpful.
(Just for anyone who struggles with reading comprehension: I'm being incredibly sarcastic here. I think it sucks enormously that we broadly ignore the plight of the few just because most people skate by fine. My top…
If we conceive of civilization as being like a biological system, then perhaps there are certain maladies that just are not worth dedicating resources to. Cells die all the time, of a trillion different causes. Few are…
I see your reductio ad absurdum and counter you with its exact inverse: Because something bad has happened at some point to someone somewhere, you personally must take precautions against it happening to you? Do you…

I think you're missing the feature of equal-weight index that your parent comment is attracted to—which is a sense that the market generally is out of balance toward AI investment at the moment and that there's a…
There's a few that don't work, but one works phenomenally well— CosmicToast/jurl is incredible (unless you're on Windows—the library as a whole does work on Windows but the build script doesn't have Windows instructions…
I use both. They're similar for simple use, but above a certain level of complexity Hy has a lot of Python-isms that bleed through. It really doesn't ever let you forget that underneath all the parentheses you're really…
I didn't get the same impression. I'm curious to know what created that feeling for you. Perhaps I'm turning a blind eye to something or other?
This almost couldn't be less "Ferrari." Really baffling.
The mummy that is the subject of The Friendly Article (the post that we're all commenting under right now).
Wrong mindset—a seven-day, 10-minute per day course is the lower limit on what procurement officers will consider acceptable and grant a contract to, which hopeful contractors submit to RFPs as a way of out-competing…
Now that's funny. "They're too easy to get sentimentally attached to, and then it makes me sad if I blow them up!" Honestly this probably enhances the sandbox nature of the game by making the stakes more palpable.
