Everybody is also different at different times in their life. Many people will develop at least one disability as they age, but even in temporary scenarios good design is accessibl…

I think it is reasonable to have a higher (or at least, different) standard for Emacs core than for packages. I also feel compelled to say that I personally think a lot of what has…

How pessimistic you are on this subject depends on how much you believe in domain transfer for these tools. No programming language sprung out of a vacuum, and it seems reasonable …

It's hard to articulate why, but 35 layers of deterministic abstraction feels very different from 1 layer of nondeterministic one. In particular, I think every developer has experi…

I attended one of the better (read: top ~200) public high schools in the US, and you could graduate without even taking trigonometry

what’s wrong with make is largely that people are bad at writing makefiles. A tool like dune is able to enable cross compilation of a massive number of libraries out of the box, bu…

I think that’s not true; vanilla OCaml is already a competitor to Go, etc. OxCaml is explicitly an effort to compete more with Rust (the “Ox” in the name is to evoke “oxidizing” = …

2026 is the year I stop reading blogs with headers like “The big unlock:” It is rude to share AI written text for others to read. You are violating a social norm that has existed i…

I could imagine something like the mastodon protocol but for git forges, where even though they are separate websites there would be no true boundary to discoverability/interaction…

You’re not putting a municipal grocery store on the same block as an existing big box and saying “wow, savings!” Food deserts exist in NYC, and many New Yorkers buy staples at corn…

Seems like its p3125r0

I am a recent 5070ti purchaser so I'm also feeling lucky, though if they exit the gaming market entirely I suspect the drivers will all go to crap soon thereafter

The poor resale market for EVs just means that people who actually have some understanding of the battery lifespans can get very good deals on 1-2 year old cars

There are some interesting experiments going on in the OCaml world that involve what they call 'modes', essentially a second type system for how a value is used separate from what …

Yeah, I think people find C appealing because it feels like you can fit the whole language in your head. I’ve yet to meet someone who has actually accomplished this in practice

Isn’t that due to different reasons (like the end of production for older standards)? I recall the same happening shortly after manufacturing for DDR3 ceased, before eventually dem…

If they’re DDR4 (or even DDR3), it has no value to e.g. OpenAI so it shouldn’t really matter

Similar things on the OCaml forums. He has a post titled “Dune: concurrent builds are here!” but really it’s a +967 -100 slop PR that had to be closed

(Neo)Forge primarily use either mojmaps or Parchment, which are the Mojang mappings with some extra goodies like docstrings and parameter names

We should call it UnTypedScript

Besides the logistical problems (shared ownership of MLB and minor league teams, the fact that almost all [good] players in the minors are really ultimately contracted with a major…

Does this generalize to higher dimensions? I’m realizing my mathematics education never really addressed alternative coordinate systems outside of 2/3 dimensions

Since you mentioned Stan, feels relevant to mention https://stan-playground.flatironinstitute.org/ , which lets you run Stan in WASM and analyze the results using WebR

Yes, the opam repository has recently been working on an archival policy to reduce the size of the checkout and hopefully ease pressure on the dependency resolver by pruning 'obvio…

Either a lot of clones or a lot of reference counted pointers. Especially if your point of comparison is a GC language, this is much less of a crime than some people think
