> rust is hardly mentioned Until the fundamental quintessence in the final minutes, which puts everything said before it into perspective.

Right. There were even regular puzzle columns in magazines where people had to figure out what a piece of C++ actually did. This is how template metaprogramming eventually came to light, when a few ve…

> I don't see where C(++) can shine here [..] Go would be much easier There is a world of difference between the complexity of C and C++. C is in principle quite easy to understand (besides …

Well, essenitally a Rust fan explaining for two hours why he doesn't like C++.

Caml is/was an FP language. OCaml has an "O" prefix because it is an OO & FP multiparadigm language.

Well, OCaml is immutable by default, isn't it? Rust has no inheritance, but at least supports polymorphism, and ordinary bindings are immutable. There are OO languages where values of an object c…

Oops, just noticed that I accidentally posted the same link twice. So here is the other one: http://rochus-keller.ch/Diverses/musci.io_My_first_attempt_1... …

> it just grabbed the vibe and built a whole arrangement around it. I would also be very interested to know why and how this works. I usually upload the audio of my songs, and it immediately gets…

Cool, convincing production. The audio quality of Suno is not there yet, but the model is very, very musical, and the resulting arrangements, melodies and instruments/voices are just great (and I…

The publishers who sued Cloudflare all operate major digital manga platforms that depend on the same infrastructure they're attacking. If this ruling makes CDN providers skittish about serving Ja…

The article presents OOP and FP as mutually exclusive paradigms where one must be entirely wrong. In reality, modern software development benefits from hybrid approaches. Most current languages suppor…

Since you are all so enthusiastic about Kay's idea of object orientation, you should take a look at Wirth's Oberon language and operating system, which is inded a message-based object system…

My statement refers to this claim: " I'm 99% sure this is written by an LLM. " The hypocrisy and entitlement mentality that prevails in this discussion is disgusting. My recommendation …

Well, there must have been a good reason why you don't like the book. I didn't see good reasons in this whole discussion so far, just a lot of pedantry. No commenter points to technical erro…

> I'm also concerned whether it is useful! So you could do everyone a favour by giving a sufficiently detailed review, possibly with recommendations to the author how to improve the book. Defi…

I would rather care whether there is a book at all and whether it is useful. > I write a book about a subject I just told you I'm clueless about Use AI. Even if you use AI, it's still a l…

Who wants to be so petty. I'm sure there are more interesting things to say about this book.

Who cares? Still better than just nagging.

Criminal prosecutions under § 54 are handled by federal attorneys acting on behalf of the government, regardless whether a potentially aggrieved company is still in business or not.

Thanks for sharing the video. "Solving the wrong problem" is indeed a persistent challenge and a well-recognized pitfall in engineering. Ada/SPARK offered capabilities before Rust that …

The irony is that people call Musk a capitalist, but at the same time turn up their noses when he expresses anti-capitalist ideas. IP law has indeed become a tool for "intellectual monopoly capit…

And was it worth it? What were you able to achieve with the LLM-support you payed for? How much time did you save? I did experiments with Claude Sonnet and Opus and also with Gpt-5, the latter via my …

This is amazing. Great work! I actually intended for a long time to use TidesDB in a project (MUMPS successor, integrated programming language and database), but I haven't gotten around to it yet…

Cool project.

I guess if it leaves the "rotation of five tropes", most people won't buy it anymore.

Interesting article. If we don't restrict to Unix-compatible userlands, there are many more impressive operating system kernels written in Pascal or its descendants, e.g. the UCSD p-System, Lisa …

The article criticizes AI-generated music and argues the music industry is legitimizing artificial content at the expense of real artists. But who and what are "real artists"? Much of the bo…
