The Applications folder itself is the equivalent. You can select an app and just press delete.

Been using the great and free AppCleaner[1] since I have memory. It's so good I just forget it's there. It autodetects when you delete an app from the Applications folder runs a qu…

Here’s an even wilder take: to support the effort of someone that gave us an incredible font that is now being copied. Crazy right?

Something something boomers? The 70s is when baby boomers start entering the working force (~in their early twenties). Not saying the sole cause, but the population (delayed) shock…

> Agents do best when they remember what they’ve done Sometimes I am baffled that sentences like this are used as headlines. I know I’ll sound dismissive… but: duh?!

I think that this new paradigm in mathematics will allow for more math being born out of curiosity and creativity. Many mathematicians have built their career around hyper speciali…

Holy cookies. Why do you need, check notes a thousand vendors?? The fuck

I lol’d. I didn’t know Fable was this sassy

I remember the smell of a freshly opened game, damn still gives me shivers of excitement

I’ve recently built a GeistGeist Totem. 36 keys, splayed, low profile. With silent kalhi switches. It’s more silent than membrane keyboards, completely customizable and super light…

Americans don’t get scolded enough for their abuse of AC. In terms of accounting for preventable waste of energy, US guzzles more electricity on cooling than most countries do on e…

This reminds me of Patrician III so much. The sailing battles had the same wind mechanics. It’s amazing, so many memories unlocked.

You could take a stab at Julia. It’s still dynamic in nature. But you can tune how much staticity you want. The spectrum goes from Python to C in terms of staticity. And with tools…

I’ve landed on a very similar usage in my last pet project. I’ve used the llm mainly as a glorified refactoring tool/LSP/rubber duck. I can define custom skills that act as specifi…

Might want to take a look at WasmTarget.jl it’s rather new and experimental but could be what you’re looking for!

I would definitely love a glass of smoked cyber

As a sibling comment mentions, yes it does. Just don’t expect to have code that runs as fast as C without some effort put into it. You still need to write your program in a static …

This was supposed to be under a different post. Not the main article. Whops.

That post is 10 years old, stale, with all issues resolved and more. Waving around an outdated blogpost as if it would automatically invalidate everything is just silly at this poi…

Checkout PythonCall.jl and juliacall (on the python side). Not to mention that now you can literally write python wrappers of Julia compiled libraries like you would c++ ones.

Yeah, it didn’t have the explosive success that rust had. Most probably due to a mixture of factors, like the niche/academic background and not being really a language to look at i…

aot will help a lot. In cases of simple programs you can also start Julia with no optimizations, which trade off the startup latency for runtime speed.

You should give Julia a go, can be written completely static if desired (not as static as rust of course, but compared to python it’s miles ahead). Can be made fast, very fast. AOT…

It is often the case, that one’s perspective is a personal synthesis of external ideas. The act of quoting great past authors is also a way of recognizing where your influences com…
