Its about the type of operations the compiler allow you to do, more or less. Like sharing mutable references, that can be independently changed in a ‘hard to keep track of’- manner. Other factors the compiler tries eliminate include buffer overruns and int overflows e.t.c.

Rust for example sometimes makes trivial things a royal pain, see linked lists for example. It also has a gaping microdependency/supply chain attack prone ecosystem, and the compiler interface is also not stable (afaik, caused some issues in linux). There is also no spec.

I have experience of both, and i love both, but C is my fav. Its often trivial to imagine the codegen with C, and there are no shortage of quality compilers. The language is also small enough that implementing a compiler is actually feasible.

Man kate is such a banger.

Dishonest and misleading. gdb ./main.elf, break 45. Learn your tools. Optimize for learning. Select tools that generalize. Avoid lock-in.

Absolutely this. It almost seems like a controversial opinion sometimes, but microdependencies is a code smell imo. This could largely be improved by providing a more extended standard lib, at the cost of innovation and velocity maybe. I found this interesting: https://blessed.rs/crates

People like you should be in leadership positions. The landscape rewards quick solutions, and quick solutions are rarely good solutions. “Whatever works” might still be a bad solution, just look at electron and that entire ecosystem.

Interesting. Im curious, what are some key areas of math that you think is the most interesting/useful for software engineering (that you would personally recommend learning)?

I will likely have some spare time in the following months and i currently plan to spend it on deepening my senses related to linear algebra and analysis.

I need that story

This is terrible advice. Communication is the solution.

Name checks out

I would like to see proof lf this.

Can never seem to understand this reasoning. Musk seems to largely have solved the censorship problem on twitter, which could be regarded as a vital piece of modern dempcracy (along with the rest of the internet, which mostly suffer from said censorship).

While at it he weeded out some traitors, who actively sabotaged during this period. Im well aware that corporate takeovers arent something “good”, but this one actually seems to make free speech a first class value.

This censorship is imposed by advertisers, which is somehow celebrated. Were talking disney, coca cola, whatever… These all want to control what you can or can not hear, and people are celebrating it?

The proper response to advertisers trying to co trol democracy is absolutely “go fuck yourself”, this should be the norm.

We dont want a bunch of proprietary extensions to an open communications standard, do we? This is something positive.

That said, I dont have much hope for matrix. Implemented in python with the initial goal of “bridging every chat platform in existence” is just bound to be a disaster.

Maintaining anything beyond a couple of hundred lines in python becomes tedious imo.

The rewrite in go has been spoken about since like 2018, and matrix.org still runs synapse iirc. Synapse should have been trashed immediately after MVP demonstration.

Theres also conduit, but to be honest, i feel like the lesson here is to avoid feature creep. Safe, fast and distributed dm text chat should have been the target functionality, with a lean, mean codebase.

Thanks for coming to my ted talk

Afaik, the way it currently works is by calling via javascript. Ironically, the way strings are handled in the browser is also a major performance block with rust at least.

This is perfect advice.

You gimuyd are on some wikd shit im history

Yes. Exactly. How refreshing to hear.

How about telling the user what is going on?
