as much praise as some people give to it, I feel deeply uncomfortable with an idea of SaaS-only DB tech that you don't have an option to self host

same, and unlike other repliers, I'll say one doesn't need to reinvent a new tool for this. Just use devcontainers.

what I meant, the macro system should support hygiene, not necessarily that all macros in it must be hygienic. The syntax bits being manipulated come with an extra scope context, w…

all the things, if macro system is sufficiently sophisticated (ie., hygienic with ability to attach metadata to syntax object). Racket is one of languages with such system, and the…

I used opportunity to learn about devcontainers. I've only recently started using llms and it's possible I'll change my mind later; but so far I quite like the approach in part bec…

it's a very old idea. I first saw this on https://www.squidi.net/three/entry.php?id=56

one of the players he persistently harassed, Daniel Naroditsky, ended up dying, which surely gave an extra push

It took 6 turns for opus 4.8 to attempt to make an illegal move in chess against me. Yes you can setup guardrails and validations and other things, but as long its primary brain is…

Almost all of these problems are due to scheme being so absurdly fractured, it's a real shame. It's already niche, but then on top of it instead of having 2-3 robust implementation…

doubtful, or at least not useful ones. Like, you could describe some invariant along the lines of "the position is winning for the side-to-move, iff there exists move, such that po…

> the vars are usually compiled to the moral equivalent of a global variable holding a pointer to a function. This allows you to update the function if the developer redefines it i…

> if the language used statement delimiters I mean, it does. White-space sensitive syntax is entirely opt-in when you chose to omit delimiters. Here's an explicit delimiter example…

kawa is unfortunately a somewhat shoddy project. Alot of halfbaked features / abstraction ideas (eg trying to support CL for whatever reason), dubious tooling for a java project (a…

> you as the customer are too dumb to not spill hot coffee over yourself presuming you're referring to the hot coffee lawsuit, maybe read details of the story. McDonalds wasn't at …

it feels OpenAI know they've lost, and their only hope is getting saved by USA military complex. I have a more restrained opinion about other AI companies and LLM tech more broadly…

hardly new, I've used it before advent of llm popularity, and I wasn't alone

CS undergrads write parsers for some toy lisps or other straight forward syntax. C isn't as trivial https://faultlore.com/blah/c-isnt-a-language/#you-cant-actua... (a small remark,…

I knew one person reporting gcc bugs, and iirc those were all niche scenarios where it generated slightly suboptimal machine code but not otherwise observable from behavior

hopefully a legal action is taken against such abhorrent project blatantly violating users' privacy

Performance concerns are WIP, it's too early to meaningfully benchmark. I did some napkin benchmarking against sbcl for curiosity and it was ~7 times slower

I see where you're coming from, and the naming was quite unimaginative, indeed. I saw that "truffle ruby" called itself that and copied it. However, the fact it's based on truffle …
