A long time lurker.

If somehow you are here because of my replies looks weird, that because English is my third language.

QQ00··on Nim 2.2.6
what programming languages have the metaprogramming capabilities that a lisper would want to look at to learn/use it?
QQ00··on Encoding x86 Instructions
I would absolutely love to read about that. Please, if you have the time to do that, do it. also do you have a blog or a place where I can follow you and read your articles/code?

QQ00··on Rustroid, a Rust IDE for Android
you would be surprised, but many people do programming on their phones. I can't imagine the pain to do that though, PC is way more flexible to do programming on.
QQ00··on Swiss voters back e-ID legislation
we started to see this kind of disturbing dystopian legislations in Australia, European countries, uk and next is the United States. I don't think it's limited to one country.
QQ00··on Swiss voters back e-ID legislation
curious what mark of the beast has to do with a federal ID? I always thought the opposition majority because it's not something in the constitution to be a centralized by the federal government and it was left for the state to handle.
QQ00··on Swiss voters back e-ID legislation
the general population are dumb, you are expecting too much from them to be honest.

the forward March toward dystopian tomorrow will never stop, we will lament the stupidity of the public who made this possible in our small corners on the internet.

QQ00··on Teardown of Apple 40W dynamic power adapter with 60W max
turning the desktop mode on in the browser always worked for me to bypass such limitations on the mobile browser. just tested it and the pinching and zooming works fine.
QQ00··on Universities should be more than toll gates
in my opinion it's still the dominant, that university is just a place to get a paper that say you studied for x years in x university in x subject. a certification.

unless you are a passionate about the subject of study.

QQ00··on Universities should be more than toll gates
this is literally everywhere.
QQ00··on Unofficial Windows 11 requirements bypass tool allows disabling all AI features
for no telemetry and half the bloatware you can always use the enterprise version. it's also (n)x the price. there also the iot version which is more stripped down and get only security updates, no features updates or other craps.

I don't think we will ever see a new version the way you described it, the amount of information Microsoft get from spying and telemetry is so much more profitable they even gave 10/11 for free.

QQ00··on Nvidia DGX Spark
the RTX Pro 6000 (Blackwell) does not have NVlink? if so, what the fuck Mr.leather jacket.
QQ00··on Is 4chan the perfect Pirate Bay poster child to justify wider UK site-blocking?
And how exactly having Texas or California or New York would solve this?
QQ00··on Python lib generates its code on-the-fly based on usage
I second this, I need to know more. programming lore is my jam.
QQ00··on US will sell "gold card" giving foreigners right to live/work for $5M
It will not come without tax obligations. Taxing U.S. citizens globally is one of the most backward things ever, and yet the government has never gotten rid of it all these years. To the point, banks all over the world hate dealing with U.S. citizens who want to open accounts because of the amount of information the U.S. government expects the bank to hand over to them.

QQ00··on Royal Navy says quantum navigation test a success
Thank you so much, I love when people recommend good books to me.
QQ00··on Royal Navy says quantum navigation test a success
Would love to see a list of such books.
QQ00··on Zig is hard but worth it
Thank you so much. It look like Odin is really a beautiful language to program with.

Did you encounter memory bugs? Essentially what memory safety feature Odin offer? (From what I read here, Zig and Rust offer some features to eliminate entire classes of bugs which remove the nightmare of hours of debugging)

Anything you dislike or wish Odin has that other languages offer?

>that the debug info situation seems much improved in comparison to 2022 when apparently it was much less complete (DWARF info, that is, PDB info seems to have been much better overall, historically).

I believe Odin was developed on windows and other system come later, probably that why PDB is much better.

QQ00··on Zig is hard but worth it
You can use pastebin, or even better, use github gist.
QQ00··on Zig is hard but worth it
>and adding features to solve all of them will make the language much bigger, overall causing greater harm (even those who don't themselves use the feature need to learn it to be able to read code).

I agree that adding too many features can make a language too large and bloated. However, I disagree that this is always the case. For example, adding features that make it easier to code math is not necessarily a bad thing. In fact, it is a good thing, as it can make programming more accessible to a wider range of people.

Additionally, math is often used in fields that require high speed, such as computer graphics and game development, Computer vision, Robotics, Machine learning, Natural language processing (NLP), Mathematical modeling, all kinds of scientific computing (Computational physics, Computational chemistry, Computational biology...) As a result, low-level programming languages are often used to implement the core code in these fields. As you see, Math is essential for many fields.

how your experience with Odin so far? How Odin differ from Zig in your opinion? What you likes/dislikes compared to Zig or other languages?
QQ00··on Tell HN: ChatGPT is having scaling issues
Sam: ChatGPT launched on wednesday. today it crossed 1 million users!

Elon: What’s the average cost per chat?

Sam: average is probably single-digits cents per chat; trying to figure out more precisely and also how we can optimize it

Ahmed: Will it be FREE forever?

Sam: we will have to monetize it somehow at some point; the compute costs are eye-watering

QQ00··on Sublime Text 4
You could extent your UI toolkit and profit from it. make it open source and make it free for open source projects and with fee for commercial projects. It's very beautiful and sleek UI and the market of UI are lacking in this area. a lot of people demand this UI toolkit and asking you to release it is a prove that it will be a successful product.
QQ00··on Nim 2.0 thoughts
This sounds cool, I would be very interested if you had any public code on how to control Selenium using Nim.
QQ00··on Nim 2.0 thoughts
Nim not only faster than Go but have a very similar syntax to python. It make more sense for Python developers to use Nim when need more speed instead of Go.

you can uninstall it from about:studies
