I would be very interested in hearing a few concrete examples!

Thanks for the info, that is wonderful to hear! Best of luck to both you and Earthly, much needed work you're doing!

This seems similar to what https://earthly.dev is doing?

For potentially relevant context: Upwork cut off access from Russia and Belarus yesterday, doesn't allow new contracts for/with people from those countries any more, and has announced that all existing contracts will terminate on May 1st.

As far as I can tell, cancer comes from worrying and mostly constant tension in your body.

Red Hat's answer to (now SuSe's) k3s?

Care to explain? My maths are failing me.

Trying it out on Intel macos, getting 100% CPU usage in a project (Vite, SvelteKit) while not interacting with the page at all.

Haven't looked at the specifics of the actual framework (yet), I came here to say that this landing page is simply amazing. It's fun, it tells a story, it gets you engaged, and it's fast and snappy and well-designed -- a pleasure to use! Kudos to whoever did the thinking & the work!

EDIT: Finished scrolling to the end, and... now I feel kind of silly for having praised the landing page, because my mind is like... "c'mon, it's super simple, it's still just text (albeit well-written), with some nicely done scrolling transitions etc" -- BUT... it's still really good! Yes, the elements and effects and everything on the page is stuff we've all seen already, it's not really something new, but I feel like it's just put together super well, and it is so frickin' smooth, I didn't notice a single hitch anywhere...

"Fast", to me, from a software development perspective can still be meaningful, in the sense of knowing what techniques, patterns, paths, ... enable performant execution, and providing easy and straightforward paths for the user along those. Which, ultimately, leads to high performance in most ways the user will apply the provided framework (in a more general sense of the word). Hope that makes sense.

And it must be OK to claim "fast" as a goal, from the early stages of a project, even before it may be possible to create any meaningful benchmarks. As long as it's discernable for the intended audience the precise stage of development or maturity the project is currently at. Which, I believe, the project in question is communicating just fine ("still in early development").

Rich, Svelte's creator, likes to just jump in and create a small little demo or showcase or just any kind of "project", that shows something interesting that can be done, in some area he's currently involved with. And he shares those as open source on his Github. I appreciate that.

Thanks for the link. IIUC Richie is more of a CMS for courses and related info that can integrate with an LMS like edX, but it's not an LMS itself.

We're offering a number of courses on top of Moodle, and it's not great. UX/UI is terrible, various bugs are haunting us and our users regularly. Moodle seems to be extremely complex, and far from modern in any regard. I have the same question as OP.

As I suspect many of us frequently do, I read the comments (including yours) before the actual submission. I thought I would find myself agreeing with what you're saying, but it turns out that I must say that I really like what OpenAI is doing here with the Content Guidelines!

They seem to be doing the right thing, in trying to steer this powerful and highly likely to turn out very influential piece of technology into a positive and constructive direction of use.

Yes, you might just build something that will be found in violation of their (good!) intentions, and will have to engage in a (at least partially public) discussion of what we, as a society, deem acceptable in terms of automated use of written content generation -- and that would be a good thing! Definitely not the easiest path to make some $$$ based on new and exciting technology, as lots of challenges like these and beyond are almost guaranteed to come up, but it seems not unreasonable to treat GPT-3 as something you can actually already start building businesses and products on, as long as you bring general awareness, sensitivity to relevant topics, willingness to engage in and maybe partially drive some of the conversations that we need to have in this new field, along with a general interest in R&D style work and the somewhat longer-term vision and resources it necessitates...

Blurb from the bottom of the wordtune landing page: "Wordtune was built by AI21 Labs, founded in 2018 by AI luminaries." Even if this was Tesla's marketing department saying something like "founded by engineering luminaries", clearly referring to the engineering genius that is Elon, I'd be hugely turned off, and would seriously reconsider my view of the company.

But this is a company & product in the field of "AI", where there's so much bullshit floating around, unfortunately, so much hype and buzzword bingo, that writing in such tone about yourself seems like it should clearly be an absolute no-go -- unless you're just riding the snake-oil wave, so to speak, whether in good faith or not.

Not implying anything about the company or product, of course, as I know nothing about them otherwise.

EDIT: Maybe to clarify the thought behind the above further: It seems that the "AI" industry has an integrity problem. Language like this extends the problem, rather than working towards fixing it.

Pretty cool to see them support Svelte(Kit) as the (or one of?) the first frameworks with direct support! Recently deployed a new application on Vercel, but very much looking forward to when Cloudflare will be an equally, or even more appealing choice! Amazing work, fantastic direction, keep it up!

From the README:

"Why? Reading and writing lots of tiny files incurs significant syscall overhead, and (npm) packages often have lots of tiny files. (...)"

It seems the author is working on a fast JS bundler tool (https://bun.sh) and the submission links to an attempt to fix some of the challenges in processing lots of npm files quickly. (But of course could be useful beyond that.)

If all of this is true, it feels like Tesla China employs some people that really should not be part of Tesla. It's probably a nontrivial effort to keep everyone aligned in a company that spans the whole globe.

How's the crime and safety situation in Colombia recently? Many years back a good friend of mine lived there for a significant amount of time and it seemed quite unsafe.

Impressive amount of work for 7 weeks! Looking forward to trying it out, super welcome tool!

k8s and its ecosystem represent a data center in software. Data centers are fairly complex constructs. It is then to be expected that this complexity will shine through in k8s' API, UI, UX. k8s' main mission seems to be to provide a complete digital data center, not an easy to use one, and I would argue that that is exactly the right choice. Over time, as the core of the beast is figured out, there will be (as there have been) more and more opportunities taken to actually help users navigate that complexity and/or resolve it into more natural and less error-prone interfaces. But in the meantime it seems like it's mostly on the community to provide (usually temporary) solutions for the most pressing usability concerns.

Couldn't this "inverse if let" be provided with a simple macro? Is that where you encountered bugs in the borrow checker?

Bond length seems to be the only thing that has been measured in the efforts described in the article. I would have skipped reading the article if it had been clear about that from the beginning.

Rust and Go both aim to create safe, performant, modern languages suitable for use from the systems layer up, differing in some of their primary goals:

Rust is a sane C++: Zero-overhead abstractions, not afraid of language complexity.

Go is a modern C: Simplicity, stability.

They have some overlap in what they're best at, but they both take on unique and important missions that both need to be targeted, in our rapidly expanding universe of software engineering.

(edit: formatting)

From the page: "… a pretty solid study on the boredom of performance-oriented software engineers grouped by programming language." I find this both funny and consider it true to some degree. There's nothing like a good old friendly arms race for the benefit of all (languages and its users, in this case) involved!

Looked through the materials posted and it seems like Nintendo just diligently observed an active modder and as diligently made a detailed plan for a conversation with them in person, to (politely, as far as I can tell) get them to stop efforts that, in their perspective, might otherwise open up their console(s) for running pirated software or similar. The tweets seem a bit sensationalist to me. What am I missing?

They mention working on using io_uring for filesystem calls for 2021. I wonder if there will be an option to use io_uring (instead of epoll) for networking calls as well? Handling network packets and events completely in userspace should allow for lower latency due to no more context switches to and from the Kernel, right?

In case anyone else, like me, were curious about what is likely being referred to: https://www.forbes.com/sites/startswithabang/2016/05/20/when...

Webstorm. I use the different tools mostly to naturally categorize all the different kinds of projects that I work on, even though I think IDEA brings (most of?) the relevant features from the other IDEs.
