A lot of this thinking still predates the Vatican 2 significantly, I think this person has made their mind up and is working backwards.

I don't think performance has got much to do with tinkering. IMO the real benefit of Zig is you get the flexibility of C with the ergonomics of a modern language. I like Python as …

I found your previous comment chain on the matter, in which you conflated Catholicism and Conservatism, the second of which I'm sure you have your own personal definition, as there…

I'm slightly baffled it existed in the first place, considering they also used the small s, and it looks almost exactly like the f. To be fair, I am equally confused that so many m…

While less typographically interesting, this is a much clearer treatment of Elements.

I've only used Zulip when checking out the Lean Zulip a few years ago, and I thought it was an infinitely better interface than Discord for serious discussion, and also much easier…

I don't think LLMs are that chaotic, you can replace words in an input at get a similar answer, and they are very good at dealing with typos. They are definitely not interpretable,…

LLMs are deterministic, the same model under the same conditions will produce the same output, unless some randomness is purposefully injected. Neural networks in general can be th…

I doubt a fork would ever happen, Blender, being computer graphics software, has a huge knowledge gap between it's developers and it's users.

That "syntactic sugar" encompasses the entire value proposition of markdown, there's nothing stopping you using Typst to author blog posts or take notes, they even have HTML export…

Scripts are typically turing complete, config files are typically not.

I wonder if well designed "mutable" operating systems like Arch and Alpine that are going to beat NixOS etc. in the long run. An install script is strictly more powerful that a dec…

This is a much more promising technique from Applied Science: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UIqhpxul_og

Not a fan of “texture healing”, a very convoluted and unsatisfying way of fixing a minor problem with monospace fonts, I’d be more interested in seeing letterforms redesigned to be…

The Osprey's accident rate is not that bad, and the US Army have ordered a new smaller tiltrotor, the v280.

I don’t think PL theory driven design produces good systems languages.

Thank God for Zig

Do you think Vulkan will become "nice" to use, could it ever be as ergonomic as Metal is supposed to be?

Is webgpu a good standard at this point? I am learning vulkan atm and 1.3 is significantly different to the previous APIs, and apparently webgpu is closer in behavior to 1.0. I am …

Having no CSD at all is unacceptable on small screens IMHO, far too much real estate is taken up by a title bar, you can be competitive with SSD by making them really thin, but the…

I use a lot of obscure libraries for scientific computing and engineering. If I install it from pacman or manage to get an AUR build working, my life is pretty good. If I have to u…
