Thanks!

Thanks, will do 🫡

There’s a spectrum of how automatic things get in different languages but there’s the issue of making it an unobservable optimisation, and also making it not over parallelise. There are lots of interesting approaches in academia but nothing really in mainstream languages and nothing that definitively solves the problem. That being said, I also do not solve the problem lol, I just offer a potential direction that could.

Fun fact: you can email authors of papers and ask for a PDF. Authors don’t get paid when you buy a paper (in fact it usually costs money to publish) and they’ll generally be happy to send out their work to anyone interested.

Thanks. The type system of the language has some interesting novelty but my key research area is automatic parallelisation of code written in that language.

Currently working on my PhD thesis which is due at the end of the month. I’m cutting it quite close but if everything goes according to plan I should have it all done on time.

I kind of like Oreo coke. Kind of like a coke vanilla but a bit sweeter?

Source: a friend of mine personally telling me what happened the last time he was in mainland China.

Friends of mine who have moved away from China. Some of them had police at their door in China for social media posts that were friendly to Uighurs (not even anything to do with the genocide, just general friendliness as a “we’re all Chinese” kind of message). Being taken to police stations for even slightly questioning the state narrative is terrifying.

Docs are good, but the main thing is that there are just fewer steps due to good tooling.

As an application author, Snaps are much easier to create than Flatpaks.

mmm delicious 😋

What’s wrong with a paper filter for a pour over?

It uses other signals too, like what other sites you’ve visited with that checkbox on it, what CloudFlare has seen your IP address doing in the past, etc.

The google one is able to see if you’re logged into a google account and take that into account.

There’s even a new variant of the Google captcha that is invisible and doesn’t even bother to show a checkbox.

I enjoy OpenMW and I’m happy to host if you want, although my instance is basically just me and a few friends right now.

In my experience I haven’t had an issue because usually the refactorings are small. If they’re not I just hop on a call with the person who wrote the MR and ask them to walk me through it.

In theory I’d like to have time to dedicate solely to code health, but that’s not quite the situation in basically any team I’ve been in.

You should refactor as needed as you go because refactoring cases are never gonna be prioritised.

A crash is different to a SEGFAULT. I’d be very surprised to see a safe rust program segfault unless it was actively exploiting a compiler bug.

The Lemmy instance I’m speaking from right now is running in my k8s cluster.
