Web browsers are just glorified JavaScript interpreters. Making Python a first-class citizen in the browser would be sweet.

Zig hits on a lot of Zen of Python. > Beautiful is better than ugly. > Explicit is better than implicit. > Simple is better than complex. > Readability counts. What really sets Zig…

Pretty awesome if you ask me. Why even use Unity if this exists? Why even install an app if you could feasibly run a full-blown game with 3D physics in the browser on your iPhone a…

...isn't that what templates were made for? Template metaprogramming in C++ is Turing-complete.

Curious if anyone here is having any success with running smaller LLMs locally on constrained hardware, such as laptops or GPU-less devices. If so, what kind of utility have they b…

We have a handful of ways to create strings now. Meanwhile, pytest is still not part of the standard library.

That seems extraordinarily affordable for a permanent, life-altering operation that needs 30 medics and takes 17 hours. For a comparison, check out what a 1-month supply of a biolo…

From https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/99108#issue-1436673... : > As evidenced by the recent SHA3 buffer overflow, cryptographic primitives are tricky to implement correctly…

There's no mention of what Python version this is actually in. After some digging, it looks like the answer is 3.14 [0], so we won't be seeing this until October [1]. One could arg…

Yeah, embedded C++ is a wildly different experience from vanilla. I've worked in large embedded C++ codebases where we couldn't use the STL and had to use homegrown containers for …

They are grumpy about having to install the Rust compiler for a good reason. You can’t compile for Rust on Windows without using MSVC via Visual Studio Build Tools, which has a res…

Linear Algebra Unit?

Yeah, definitely. It's basically executable pseudocode and it's really simple for a beginner to pick up and hit the ground running for a variety of use cases. Some people will tell…

Python is really shaping up to be the lingua franca of programming languages. Its adoption is soaring in this FOSS renaissance and I think it's the closest thing to a golden hammer…

I love this kind of detective work. It blows my mind how easy it is to pinpoint someone with the smallest bits of identifying info.
