In 2018 when Windows and macOS used 2GB just after boot, I tried Arch Linux and with a neat window manager (dwm) a clean boot was using just 300MB, that means our OS is wasting jus…

Did you check if the resources were consumed by the LSP or Zed? Also there was a Zed fork without the AI stuff, not sure if is a hard fork or not and if is still maintained (IIRC w…

For me, what the browser needs it's a good DX to build components, I kind of like Svelte and Vue in that regard, where your CSS, HTML and JS lives all together. Writing a CSS file …

The issue with Rust proc macros is that they are impure, so even with incremental compilation, you need to expand them every time.

Not OP, but AFAIK one big issue with FIL-C it does the checks at runtime, adding overhead, don't quote me on this, but IIRC is around 20% slower.

AFAIK the high end chips are made in Taiwan, that's not the same. Also there was an export control, so ASML couldn't sell the latest equipment to China.

How important is stable ABI for projects like Bun? I think it only matters if you are building a shared library.

Didn't WASM got a GC proposal that Go and other managed languages can use it? So it might be an issue in most browsers right now, but soon it might not.

Swift is very weak outside Apple ecosystem, compared to Rust. Not sure nowadays, but Swift used to have breaking changes each major release, that's a non go for a big project.

Are these providers private owned?

This language reminds me of Borgo https://borgo-lang.github.io

But current LLMs have a context window limitation, so you can't fit your whole source code into the context, that's why compilers guide the LLMs when they are producing code and th…

Are we living the worst times in a while technology wise, this presentation showed nothing useful. Last year at least they showed some interesting features, but as always I don’t u…

I recommend you to watch Andrew Kelly interview[0], while I'm not the target audience of Zig, I don't see him driving away any user. Also Jai as for now is a non existing language,…

Those might be niche devices, I think if were Samsung or Pixel devices, it would be a different story, similar for Apple devices, they are fewer variants, that it would be a lot of…

I was thinking that this or opening the bootloader should be required (by governments) for deprecated devices. Imagine all the Android and Apple devices you could give a second lif…

Zig is low level, so it will certainly not replace your python usage, it is more like a modern C than anything else. There’s a video of a recent interview with Andrew Kelley, if yo…

I was exploring a similar approach, but not focused on AI, my idea was basically group projects by workspace, where each workspace has a path and is related to a project, you can s…

They are compiled to WASM, so they have limited IO capabilities, but still they have IO.

That's the reason I stopped installing random extensions and even themes in VS Code, they are too dangerous.

That would be an interesting project, I assume a lot of not so young engineers will want to play with it, as a hobby. Also if that project exists, I'm sure that someone will try to…

I don't know about California, but AFAIK reverse engineering is legal, but breaking DRM protection isn't, so what companies did was to put DRM in their software, hence the reverse …

AFAIK the issue is with one time purchase games, where is not clear if you will be able to play forever or whenever they want to pull the plug, if they change to subscription based…
