phsilva··on Show HN: Minimator, a Minimalist Graphical Editor
Congratulations on having a dependency free project [0]. (just typescript)

We got so used to read code using frameworks that pure JavaScript seems other world.

phsilva··on Bun – fast JavaScript and CSS bundler
Yes, look like it is.

"It’s based on esbuild’s source, but written in Zig. Zig is an LLVM frontend (like Rust) with manual memory management."

phsilva··on What is the core of the Python programming language?
CPython C API is one the main culprit in making Python hard to implement and optimize.

As some commenters said, I don't think Python without access to C/C++ projects would be worth right now giving how sloe CPython is. About 100% of machine learning, data science and general science Python code relies on C/C++ extensions.

Current CPython API and the need to keep compatibility reduces the capabilities of improving CPython.

Look at PEP-620 (https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0620/) for more info on how python developers are addressing this.

phsilva··on ARM releases free Cortex-M processor cores for FPGAs
Let the battle begin! Wonder how RISC-V movement in the open source ISA front has influenced this decision.
phsilva··on Twitch link vandalism on Nepal's Wikipedia page?
Still happening here. Looks like they changed mediawiki somehow, as the link is not in the latest version of the mediawiki source for that page. Also not happening on other pages.

Tested both on Firefox and Chrome on my machine and on a friend's machine, so no malwares here apparently.

phsilva··on Number of active repositories in GitHub per language, per month
Would be interesting to see the number of lines in those JS and Java repos. I expect JS to be tons of 50 lines 'libraries' and Java to have tons of 50k lines 'libraries'.
phsilva··on Google supercharges machine learning tasks with TPU custom chip
I wonder if this architecture is the same Lanai architecture that was recently introduced by Google on LLVM. http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2016-February/09511...
