I'd be interested to see a comparison with https://piscinajs.dev/ - does this achieve more efficient data passing for example?
Lack of easy shared memory has always felt like a problem to me in this space, as often the computation I want to off-load requires (or returns) a lot of data.
We are currently working on some christmas puzzle, that are - I would say - a bit more difficult from the visual side. GPT5.1 completely failed at all of them while Gemini 3 solved two till know that I would consider rather impressive.
I do appreciate the first kind. I want to know what Lidl has on offer this week, but I don't care about searching their website about specific products.

I don't disagree. But the lack of accountability is perhaps not due to democratic laws being insufficient, but due to people/the media just not caring enough about what happens at the EU institutions. In the Netherlands, for instance, the most powerful positions are also not directly elected (the ministers including the prime minister, majors, the senate) but their work is most definitely scrutinized and fuckups can have consequences.
In the first example, the match feels extremely overkill. Vec.first() exposes the correct semantic (as does Vec.iter().nth(0) for the more general case), returning an Option.
OK. Then you concede your security, as I can't imagine any single person self-hosting can be better at keeping their public service more secure than engineers at Google can. Especially with limited time.
>>> I want a separation between the streaming platform companies and the content making companies, so that the streaming companies can compete on making a better platform/service and the content companies compete on making better content.
>>> I don't want one company that owns everything, I want several companies that are able to license whatever content they want. And ideally the customer can choose between a subscription that includes everything, and paying for content a la carte, or maybe subscriptions that focus on specific kinds of content (scifi/fantasy, stuff for kids, old movies, international, sports, etc.) regardless of what company made it.
This sounds fine in theory, but how would it work if the content were continuously changing? For example, the final straw that made my cut the cord of cable-tv was getting locked into a 3yr plan for cable TV only to get the Disney channel for the kids -- only to learn that Verizon/Disney had a fight and I lost the channel. https://deadline.com/2018/12/disney-warns-verizon-fios-custo...
Now, i'm still locked into the 3yr plan with Verizon but dont have the content I wanted. I know people complain about paying $10 or $15 for a streaming service, but imagine paying $100 for cable TV and being locked into a 3yr contract. I'd much, much rather have a la carte services I can pick and choose and cancel as desired.
However, if you're talking about the Amazon Prime TV model, then I'd totally agree with you. I think that is the ideal model -- Prime is a nominal cost (for now) and you can add/remove channels as you wish.
Brands are bullshit. I'd actually be on board with the conventional capitalism view of producer-consumer information levels if brands went away. They distort quality, they distort product perception, they don't have anything to do with the actual reality of most people. “Consumption styles as part of personality” (aka brands) are a cancer.
The chemical dependence is quite a factor in the psychological process you refer to. It nudges and reinforces this psychological behaviour. You can broaden the definition to include addiction without chemical dependence, but it does not mean you can omit the chemical dependence factor from the equation.
This chemical dependence is often the number one reason people cannot physically stop their psychological process. Potential effects from quitting include simply dying, or with less strong chemical dependence, feeling anxiety or generally ill.
People use C not because they like it, but because its the lingua franca [1]. As long as The Unix Programming Environment [2] remains dominant, The C Programming Language [3] will too.
"Wait, user compliance scan has identified participitation in community groups prohibited by EasyLife Health™ policy update 2025-12-06b. Recommend to annul contract."
Absolutely- I can't understand why it still has such a loyal base considering how low the quality is- I see more insightful discussion on facebook half the time
i know zig, i’ve been using it for a few years, i have multiple small projects as well. zig ref is fine, i’m critical of std. the source code has always been the main source of documentation. which means no documentation. std is littered with undocumented behaviours, the build system is still something many people use half-blind.
i’m fine with breaking changes, but the way they’re just dropped onto our laps with almost zero thought put into how to present it. (i started to feel almost as if patiently introducing the concepts and interfaces is one of those things that is below andrew)
while i admit that zig’s authors’ claim to technical excellence is deserved, communication has never been close to it.
and then i’m sure there are people who would gladly involve themselves in documentation efforts, but the chances of receiving andrew’s ire and demeaning disposition are so great that it might be paralysing such efforts leaving it to the Guy himself.
> The difference is that Apple had a hit product that was selling as quickly as they could be produced and there was a legitimate need if they wanted to meet the demand.
What if OpenAI expects to be in the same boat? Their "hit product" is just R&D and training for new very large models. Of course if they're wrong, they just set a huge pile of their own cash on fire.
I really like D and want to use D instead of Zig if I can...
But it's difficult to do so! Nothing to do with marketing in my case, at least.
The reasons are :
* `dub` is badly documented and does dumb things like including test code in the generated binary.
* `serve-d` is terrible. It can't handle even my little hello world programs - either crashes or consumes 100% CPU until I manually kill it.
* MacOS support sucks. All the time I have problems: the linker didn't work for years (fixed now). Immediate segmentation faults currently (fixed in nightly AFAIK). C code using the new flat128 doesn't compile (I think it was fixed already?). Just constant frustration.
* Too many features, many broken. It has an experimental borrow-checking feature, I tried to use it but it's largely undocumented. People in the Forum told me to that feature is completely unfinished. It has an allocators package as well, but no idea how I can make use of those like I would in Zig. Would love to see a well written post about that.
Using D in betterC mode is what I am most interested about exactly because it looks more like Zig and C than Java - and performs much better. But currently, that means forgetting about Phobos, the standard library, as that's written exclusively with GC and Exceptions in mind. Maybe that's ok as you can just use all C libraries you want, but would be nice to have some D conveniences to make that worthwhile.
Apart from that, I completely agree that D's comptime and metaprogramming is the best I've seen in any language. All I need to keep using D is much better tooling and clarification about what parts of the language are "half-baked" (especially around DIP1000) and which parts are stable - perhaps "editions" will give us that, will check it out when it's ready.
Well yeah, but this empathy and frustration is simply misplaced. I have empathy for people who didn't get good education, and they should be frustrated towards their bad schooling. Math notation is simply the wrong target.
If they can't see that, it's hard to think they have much chance with the actual math. "A mathematician is a person who knows how to separate the relevant from the irrelevant", a saying I was told in school.
Immich is great, but I like Ente more because of the E2E encryption. I don't trust that someday my hardware wouldn't get stolen and all photos get in possession of someone else.
Also it has a very rich ACL system. The Immich node can be locked out from accessing any other node in the network, but other nodes can be allowed to access it.
Hi Peter, founder of a YC startup here. My startup got acquired and I now have a new O1 visa but in my indian passport I still have the old O1 visa stamped. I’ve now traveled internationally. Can I enter the US with my old visa? Asking because the waiting times to get the new visa stamped are ridiculously long. Thank you for your time!
