Hi, Alex! Happy you find it cool! I will update the Clojure and core.async versions to latest. You're right I forgot to mention the JVM version in the benchmarks. I'll be running f…

Hi, HN! Author of libgoc here. I made a CSP library in C along with async I/O and HTTP client/server layers. It is blazing fast, beating Go and Clojure at several benchmarks. The l…

Hi! I'm the author of libgoc. libgoc provides a Go - like runtime in portable C. It is basically C + GC + threadpools + goroutines + channels + goroutine-aware-mutexes. It's built …

Libgoc is a Go-style CSP concurrency runtime for C: threadpools, stackful coroutines, channels, select, async I/O, and garbage collection in one coherent API.

I have a feeling that Half Life 3 will have groundbreaking AI NPCs.

Half Life is my favorite game franchise of all time. Played all the canon games and SO MANY mods. Still obsessed with it.

Neat project! By the way, to see a great example of how a modern game can be made using the classic Half Life engine, look at the fan made game Half Life: Echoes [1]. It actually l…

Same as dynamically typed vs statically typed languages.

Easy to write bugs in unsafe languages like C / C++. Rust makes memory management explicit, hence eliminating those bugs. But it also shows how hard memory management actually is. …

Pinewood Derby vibes

A person of culture, I see. Electric Monks were made for a reason. Surprisingly pertinent to the current discussion.

This discussion is seriously lacking in references to Koka language[0]. Koka is memory safe without using traditional GC, has effects, and is pretty cool over all. [0] https://koka…

Particle spin explained: Imagine a ball that’s rotating, Except it’s not a ball, and It’s not rotating. (popular particle physics meme) From what I understand of QFT, the Universe …

Thanks for the explanation. That quote is extremely terse and would have taken a considerable amount of time to understand.

Yes! I have played with Shen before. IIRC the type checker is literally a Prolog.

commenting for future reference. that's a great quote.

The SEC chief is Gary Gensler who used to teach a Cryptocurrency course at Harvard...

what about linux?

Luminus has a successor called Kit.

Are you complaining he used a word you weren't familiar with?

> merely shining a light on the object would give it a nudge so you're saying you would change the outcome by measuring the system?

Hao Wu is an immunologist. I hope he isn't connected to Stanford's Nolan. LK-99 is weirdly connected to UFO lore, so I'd want to be cautious.

What balderdash.
