Viewing profile — rom-antics

I agree. I gave Zig a fair shake, even went so far as to find the compiler PR that automatically adds `_ = foo` to your source code while compiling[1] and set up the VSCode extensi…

Yvette and Ling would be perfect for each other. https://www.lingscars.com/

> I've been wondering lately whether a new spatial approach can yet again simplify matters. I've been closely following the development of Vale since I first saw it here. Though th…

On the other hand though, it brings symmetry to types and values, and makes destructuring feel natural. let i: i32 = 1; let &i: &i32 = &1; let &mut i: &mut i32 = &mut 1; let (i, &m…

When I was a kid I had a toy electronics kit and one of the circuits was an AM radio that worked without batteries. A normal radio station signal is strong enough to drive a pair o…

You mean due process? Sounds great, sign me up!

If you want compact, use an array of tuples: const foos = [("foo", 1, "bar"), ("foo", 1, "bar"), ...]; for (str1, num, str2) in &foos { // ... } For a proper struct you have to nam…

This is megabytes (at most) of text we're talking about, not gigabytes. And ripgrep is absurdly fast. Grepping a 5MB text file should be pretty much instantaneous.

> discord has a search feature, but it’s pretty awful Their search makes me want to pull my hair out. Why can't I just search the history with grep? That's a feature I would pay fo…

I can't say I'm impressed. https://i.imgur.com/Iq9DcSY.png

How about a nice game of chess?

Well that's a loaded title. (EDIT: The article title, not the changed HN title) Another take: https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2022/02/enforcement-overreach-... Read the section on Tr…

The word "fraud" has really lost its punch these last couple years. OpenAI has actual, working products that people think are valuable enough to pay for. The name is misleading, su…

I don't see a video in either article. Link?

That article doesn't support the headline. The closest it gets is saying nobody asked her beforehand, but she doesn't say after the fact that she wants people to stop. Meanwhile, f…

In this case it was one of the founders of the company. If you can't trust the founders, who can you trust?

You forgot: 0. Get elected to Congress

I love that there are so many options that people disagree about which is best. THAT is probably the worst thing that can happen to OpenAI - not just one competitor, but a whole he…

I wouldn't call codegen adversarial. The optimizer isn't out to get you. It emits the best code it can given a certain set of assumptions. It may just seem adversarial at times bec…

Lightsail are among the worst when it comes to actual benchmarks. Though you might not notice if your apps aren't very resource demanding. Their fastest instance type is still in t…

Maybe if we stopped looking down on people because of the color of their collar, we wouldn't be having these problems. Just a thought.

I'm claiming that if a program is compiled with LLVM, it must follow must LLVM's rules. One of those rules is that a pointer must be valid in order to be dereferenced. If a program…

I don't think 0x2 is a valid pointer either. The docs say the pointer value must be "associated with address ranges allocated through mechanisms..." - to me the word "allocated" me…
