I'm ready for their follow up product.
The instantaneous fertility rate dipping below replacement level does not mean humanity dying out. It might mean that this particular civilization with this particular population level is. Infinite growth ad infinitum…
Every EU nation should be thinking about how to fast track and incentivize American immigration.
Yes, though don't forget about the incompetence of adding the wrong person to the chat which goes part and parcel with the embarrassingly superficial/cynical discourse.
As a good friend who is the maintainer of a widely used oss tool likes to quip: the two hardest problems in computer science are naming things and making money in open source.
Here's my countervailing advice for keeping your phone safe: don't use a case or any protection at all. This trains you to take care of it.
I don't think correlation vs causation is the right question. Loneliness was clearly rampant long before chatgpt showed up. The question is whether chatbots are capable of reducing people's loneliness. To me it feels…
Imagine putting your time and energy into something other than building a bigger imaginary pile for yourself.
It sometimes feels like there is a strange resistance to defining ad hoc sum types. If your language has good pattern matching capabilities and an expressive syntax for declaring data types, then this scales very well.…
My definition is very different. It is about my ability to have control over my life in the areas that matter most to me. I value my time and personal development above material wealth (to a point). I don't need a giant…
This does not feel like at all a good faith reading of the situation. Hardcore anti trans-activists on the right would like to make life so miserable for transpeople as to essentially eliminate them from public life…
I'm long on humans and suspect that many people will begin to prefer imperfection in reaction to the overproliferation of ai generated content.
I agree with the author that slow can be good and that taste and diligence can trump raw smarts. I think what is often missed though is the opportunity cost of shipping bad products. Our industry lionizes fast delivery…
I know I'm being pedantic but zero dependencies is impossible. I'm all for minimizing dependencies though.
I unfortunately do not have a good reference of my own, but it strikes me that this list is missing resources for language design. This is the underdiscussed hard part of compiler writing. Good language design can also…
This is my experience too. I switched about five years ago and haven't looked back but many people still feel strongly that Google is better so like you I'm not sure if I'm doing it right or wrong. What I will say…
Python is too big to be a proper Lua replacement.
I feel that the problem is not text but language design. A great language should be close to a pareto optimum for both human and machine legibility. Most languages are optimized for human familiarity, which is…
Definitely an interesting report. The conclusions seem skewed by the author's existing coding skill and fluency though. If anything, I'd expect on aggregate these tools to disempower smaller businesses relative to their…
This is why most of the best software is written by people writing things for themselves and most of the worst is made by people making software they don't use themselves.
Yes, but you could bypass the login page.
Late Carlin got far too misanthropic for my taste. Like all things, we need balance. This is a good argument against guilds, but there are positive aspects of the system too. Imagine a world that was truly a free for…
I'd imagine cool is up there as well: https://nguyenthanhvuh.github.io/class-compilers/cool.html
I personally a prefer a stricter syntax with less redundancy. With a sufficiently fast and accurate compiler, things like indentation issues can be resolved very quickly when there is a copy/paste issue.
I found the section on forward declarations at least partially off. I have never needed to use forward declarations for single recursion like the fibonacci example he gave. Mutual recursion does of course require…
