Windows support has been a target since 2013. That's too long for me to put any credibility in projections on when it will be generally released.
I am happy for most software to move from C into almost anything else. Something unlikely to have memory exploits, or with standardized tooling for dependency management and compilation.
You would also need a Notebook equivalent REPL for fast iteration.
Nim and Crystal feel like they are in exactly the same space? GC, fast, single executable compilation without runtime (I would also throw Go into this list).
It is a resource strapped project. I doubt they have the bandwidth to throw in additional languages. Plus, Lua is perfect for this niche: small, easily embeddable, fast, and simple enough to pick up in an hour. There…
Ditching some of the POSIX missteps is half the appeal of fish.
So many great features in this release. Love the .args and subprocess support. I have been toying with redbean on and off, and I have been wanting to see if I could kludge together a poor man's long running job…
I am still waiting for a seL4 based router, firewall, DNS server, file server, etc. Even better if we could get it into critical infrastructure (water treatment, electricity, etc). Something that is exposed to the…
Specifically targeting compounds is an active area of research. Example: all oncotherapies are essentially just poison. The trick is to deliver the toxin to the 0.001% of cells in the body that are cancerous. It is…
Does the snap store server process still still use 300+ MB of memory? That alone would seem to disqualify it for IOT or other embedded use cases.
Linux barely works as it is. I no longer have any interest in debugging my desktop technical problems. Which means my best option is to use the most popular environment so when I do encounter an issue, there is likely…
Ehhhhh, I'm a Python guy, and I find all of the Python Shiny alternatives lacking. Shiny delivers an incredible amount of value per line of code. My experiments with Dash and Streamlit required a lot more boilerplate to…
Perhaps not everything you want, but in Python land there is pipx [0]. Pipx will create a virtual environment per binary program so that they are all isolated from each other and put things in a consistent location…
The Hawaii government page [0] list a goal of getting to 100% renewables by 2045. If I am reading the report correctly, the 2020 number was already at 36% renewables. [0]:…
So what happens if you takeoff in state A with fuel requirement X and land in state B with fuel requirement Y?
You may disagree with how they develop it, but I am very much a happy user of Bottles (other than how needlessly hard it is to search). It has made configuring wine and friends so much easier than before. Previously, I…
There are accounts of people drinking mercury (13.5 g/mL) to feel it sloshing around in their stomach.
Janet starts incredibly quickly. Here was a microbenchmark someone produced comparing various Lisps[0]. [0] https://github.com/janet-lang/janet/issues/324#issuecomment-...
>The only real problem with passwords is that humans are extremely bad at those without an aid of a password manager (when they’re no longer words but turn into pre-shared tokens) Human are also bad at not…
Wait until he hears about the efficiency of an ICE. 5% losses for fixed infrastructure feels like not a big deal?
>What's the point of this? Why would I want a single-file version of Python? If I want to deploy a Python program on a Windows machine, my current workflow is roughly: - Install Python system wide - Ensure there is…
Maybe if SQL was a better language at the start, there would be more incentive to follow the spec.
It was unclear to me after a superficial reading - is there a story for packing non standard-library dependencies? Let's say I need library X + my own code. Is there currently possible to ship pyoxy + a tar file of all…
I have grown fond of using miller[0] to handle command line data processing. Handles the standard tabular formats (csv, tsv, json) and has all of the standard data cleanup options. Works on streams so (most operations)…
That sounds a lot like testing in production. Move fast and break things when the stake are human life. I will accept a slower pace of aircraft development, thank you.
