I find Rust crates generally have pretty good docs. Docs.rs is a major time saver

You can build with mingw64 built with msvc and use more or less the same Makefile. As for Xcode… well, there’s not really a good reason to support Mac. On principle I wouldn’t even try

How the heck does a Makefile not scale??? That’s all it does!

Life is and will always be better writing your own Makefiles. It’s literally so easy. I do not get the distaste. Cmake is arcane magic. Bazel is practically written in runes. Makefile is a just a glorified build script, but where you don’t have to use a bunch of if statements to avoid building everything each time.

Build a project. Learn how to do each step by searching the internet. It’s quite literally that easy.

For C++, yes. But “reference” is just a way of using the pointer when it comes to C

Nvidia and Wayland is still BORKED

Nope

People use IPv6?

I still don’t know anything about it

Brave

I used to use Duck Duck Go, but it’s supposedly not as private as it claims to be, and my understanding is Brave is a bit better there.

I don’t use the Brave browser tho, just the search engine

Yes. We use SVN. I hate it. I’m trying to build a case to switch to git. We’re a small team, but a growing team

Epiphany is a neat little project, but my understanding is it has performance issues bc it can’t use the GPU or something, like YouTube videos load slow.

This is honestly so frustrating to see bc I’ll still never understand why Python isn’t just statically typed.

It’s right there in the Zen:

Explicitness is better than implicitness

It wouldn’t even have to be less simple as it could still be weakly typed, a la Rust or Haskell, but not as robust.

You wouldn’t need these extra special tools if the language was just built right!

Same goes for the try/catch exception system where runtime errors can pop up bc you don’t have to handle exceptions:

Errors should never pass silently.

Unless explicitly silenced.

Python is a good language that could’ve been a great one smh

Haskell

Purpose made for Data-science

Uhhh… R?

That, MATLAB, and Python are the only languages I know of used in that field, and it’s not MATLAB or Python lol. I don’t know anything about R tho

Here’s how I think it works

In formal language, what it means to accept a verification means does the result fall into the list of acceptable values.

Consider adding two 2-bit numbers:

• Alphabet: { 0, 1}
• Language: x x consists of four binary digits representing two 2-bit binary numbers where the result of adding these two numbers is a valid 2-bit binary number (i.e. falls between 00 and 11)
• Then you have an automata that will:
  • Start from the rightmost bit
  • Add the corresponding bits (+ carry from any previous iterations)
  • Carry over to the left if needed
  • Repeat for both bits
  • Check for acceptance
• Machine as a whole simply checks did the inputs produce a valid 2-bit number, so it just accepts or rejects

The machine itself simply holds this automata and language, so all it does is take input and reject/accept end state. I think you’re just getting caught up in definitions

A sum of a list of numbers I think would be something like

• Alphabet: digits 0-9 and ‘,’
• Language: a single string of digits or a single string of digits followed by a comma and another valid string
• Automata:
  • Are we a single string of digits? If yes, accept
  • Sum the last number into the first and remove the comma
  • Repeat
• Machine: Does the some operation result in a valid string?

Machines accept a valid state or hit an error state (accept/reject). The computation happens between the input and accept/reject.

But maybe I don’t understand it either. It’s been a while since I poked around at this stuff.

I didn’t know Go had interfaces. Neat

I can’t even wrap my mind around people who use 60% keyboards and use a bunch of extra function keys let alone anything more drastic

In VR, you are able to place windows anywhere. You have infinite amounts of screen. Look at something like Simula

Bc they’re about to release a VR headset PC that allows just that. It will likely inspire other companies to do so as well
