I thought so too about Nim, but then I realized how easy it is to call c libs from nim. There is infinate amount of c and c++ libs out there.

I am switching all my work to him now. It's a super fast python with types. The non nil string and sequence in this version are cleaver.

Nim is great. To me it feels like typed python that is fast.

It also runs everywhere. I use its C mode on the server, its js mode on the website, and even its c++ mode to interface with c++ libraries such as steamworks which are hard to interface with.

Nim is also pretty cool by offering templates and macros. Which allow you to make some awesome DSLs that make your code short and sweet. Just don't go too crazy!

I used to really hate typing in C or Java because it felt so boring. I stayed away from typed languages for a long time, but nim has won me back. Types have saved me many times now!

Its also super fast, I mostly programmed in JS/Python and I never knew how fast computers can be.

I chose to learn nim coming from Python, because found C++ to be annoying and difficult. It feels like python but faster. I have compiled to to JS and integrated with complex C++ libraries. I like it so far. Metaprogramming is cool feature. Community is also really helpful.

What do you think about them forcing you to use Swift or Objective-C for this? Forcing you to use languages that use ref counting and object oriented pointer tables that are traversed at runtime? How much of the gains does objc_msgSend eat up? I though you are against such things?

How ugly would the JAI code to need to be to interface with this?

I wish they had a simple Metal C API, but their new API comes with a bunch of Objective-C baggage.

Where did he get that assembler output from? It uses "jump-if-less" and "load" instead of "jl" and "mov"? Is that a swift/llvm syntax?

Barcelona's block layout comes to mind: http://projectivecities.aaschool.ac.uk/portfolio/yuwei-wang-...

In jai, did you write the parser yourself or used a parser generator like yacc? In my toy languages I find writing my own parser more fun and not hard. I find it harder to make yacc do things such as indentation significance.

Majority of Minecraft comes from console/mobile. Minecraft mobile surpassed Minecraft desktop in 2013, with consoles doing same thing later. Most people don't play the original java version that has mods. Most people don't play with mods.

This could be cool if the "401L" would have the proper tax incentives around it as well. I think there is very small tax incentive to repay student loans now. How does that work exactly?

Now if Employers add matching as a benefit that could be a cool perk. It seems like Employers stopped doing 401K matching lately. Did they stop and why?

This could be quite cool if technologically feasible, do you have a prototype or how far along is it?

Dating? Don't men and women tend to do different things? Won't men get paired with a small subset of woman who like doing manly things, and women with a small subset of men who likes doing womenly things?

Sorry I don't understand what you are trying to do. Can you provide an example of how and what this would be used for?

I have just used this script and it worked great. I used the lets encrypt normal client and it felt very bloated for me: virtual env, docker, tons of dependences. I hope lets encrypt folks put their client on a diet.

Yeah i felt the same way. I can't really tell how gnarly the if statement is, but interfaces, classes, zope, xml is way worse. Every one knows how if statements work, not so much with zope xml.

Me too!

Its not working for me.

Why run any programming software on the chrome book? You can always just ssh into a box and do your dev there? I have been using that for years (and the web code editor I wrote). I have used the first Pixel as on the go dev machine for years...

I used the same image and it did not guess it at all. It said "oblate"...

We were in the same situation. But we were completely open with our YC founders and they helped us a lot in getting into YC and with tons of advice. It seems like you are building the relation ship wrong based on some sort of deception. I would think about it.

In the article they they are doing both. People from chrome team said they are doing asm.js.

"Q: How does SoundScript compare to asm.js? A: They have different goals: asm.js is a low-level language designed to be a compilation target for other (mostly low-level) languages. SoundScript is a user-facing type system for direct use of JavaScript as a high-level language. Both are complementary, both are useful, and V8 is committed to both."

Also related, I learned a lot about peoples perception of FOV in fps games from this reddit thread: http://www.reddit.com/r/Games/comments/2yi4yx/blizzards_stan...

I am not even a security novice, but isn't getting root on the devices basically a game over? The suggestions the author hard to encrypt the stuff in memory and on disk would just add a extra step for the attacker to find the key? If they key had to be entered by the user every time the attack can just wait until the user does so? If thats too hard... just monitor the user. With root you can just wait and take screen shots... (as the author shows) which would work for any thing the user does ever and is simpler?

Or some thing like node-js but using SpiderMonkey instead of V8. Name really does not fit and blows up expectations. node-firefox-simulator would be more apt.

Could it be conformation bias that maritime or nautical theme peaces are more noticed or make for a better article?

So there is no arbitrage, no user to user interaction, they simply buy Steam Gift cards from you with bitcoins. So simple. Genius!

One can make a bitcoin front for pretty much anything online. Where else do you see opportunities like this?

I mean their sentence on Echo's page. I totally got what you where saying.

I had to read that line several times to make sure I was not missing some thing.
