Shouldn't this has 2014 inside the title? The story has also appeared several times in HN before. Very interesting concept but now I think perhaps application file format using TileDB will be muc…

This. I'm not sure how many more years people will eventually realize that web is originally invented for sharing documents over the decentralized internet and not really suited for other type of…

For those you want the context of D please check its development history [1]. If history telling us something, python only take off after 20 years and now D language is around the 20 years mark. But f…

In my field it is Computer Networking: A Top-down Approach by Kurose. I've been using it as the main textbook for computer networking course for more than ten years. On related notes, for the pas…

It seems that Europe is going in the right direction with GDPR and now GAIA-X project. The fact that GDPR is mentioned a lot in the proposal really make clear their main intentions. Perhaps the limite…

Perhaps you should look at D language offering, it has awesome UFCS feature [1] that some other languages are copying now and a REPL. For multi-dimensional array matrix it provides the fastest computa…

I am surprised nobody here mentioned TeXmacs. It's nothing to do with TeX or Emacs, but it's inspired by them. Basically the concept is structural graph based document editing software simil…

Despite the promise of Starlink of pervasive internet connection, there are always blind spots where connection just do not exist or just pain intermittent. Personally I think the future of desktop ap…

I think it is a shame and a mistake that PC industry has chosen PCI-Express over the battle tested Infiniband technology as the upgrade for the PCI [1]. Infiniband offers native channel based peer-to-…

If you want an overview of of the state-of-the-art open source networking stack, you can check this last year FOSDEM 2019 presentation by one of the developers of BISDN [1]. Somehow I don't think…

I think the largest corporate R&D lab at the moment must be Huawei. Last time I've heard from someone working there, they have more than 10K PhDs working for them and even only half of them w…

This mainly to woo developers who are now working on Mac OS or thinking to use Mac OS to use Windows and WSL combination instead for ML & AI application development.

Calm down bro no need to be angry over small things. Technicaly it really running Linux and Windows alongside using Hyper-V and I dare you to find a better word for the technology being implemented.

Those of us who have been using Linux around the the year 2000 will remember the April fool joke on Slashdot about running Linux alongside Windows. The often repeated mantra, first they ignore you, th…

Tree structured-editor with built-in language construct, sound like the incarnation of Cedar/Tioga desktop and programming environment by Xerox back in 1980s. This environment replaced three dist…

Hi Martin, thanks for sharing your insightful comments and the improvements list. I think if anyone can do that, the impact will be probably nothing less than the impact of introduction of spreadsheet…

Regarding your last point, as of now we have four main processor hardware namely CPU, GPU, FPGA and TPU (the new kid on the block). The hard question or problem is how can we program these different a…

As you are probably aware that the author of the article is the designer of the D programming language. For background reading of the design of D programming language, this is a very interesting and i…

Hi Walter, just wondering about the seamless integration of the imperative and functional paradigm in D, do you implement Static Single Assignment (SSA) form for that at the compiler back-end [1]? [1]…

Not OP but there were discussions last week regarding this matter in HN [1]. According to the original article C++ is neither context-free nor context-sensitive, it is actually undecidable [2]. [1] h…

Imagine an imaginary conversation for the reason behind choosing a distribution name. 1 - Can we name our distro Void. 2 - Why? 1 - Since it devoids of systemd

Shepherd is probably a good alternative, and it can be used standalone or with Guix: https://www.gnu.org/software/shepherd/ …

Also TeXmacs and Guix. Basically most of the GNU software are based on Guile Scheme for extensions.

Looking forward for this as well. I've used Xara Extreme version 4 (released around 2008) couple of years after they have released Xara Extreme LX, and I've still got the CD with me. It'…

Have you tried TeXmacs? It probably can do what you want to do and more. The concept is basically active structural document but the "active" part is quite advanced where you can execute oth…

Not OP but D has better templates implementation [1] and it has no macros, yeay! [1] https://github.com/PhilippeSigaud/D-templates-tutorial …

This is a nice tutorial introduction on using D as a better replacement for C [1]. Some excerpts "At one time, C was my go-to language for most programming. One day I realised that most of my C p…

For those who is wondering about what is io_uring and its significance I'd highly recommend this blog article posted at HN few days ago[1]. The potential of using io_uring with eBPF in Linux will…

The days of globalised custom hardware are numbered. Most of the hardware that are used to be customised as we know then, are actually now a commodity. For example, networking vendors always custom ma…

This. Instead of obsessing on level 5 autonomous car that we probably will never achieve in our lifetime, why not optimized the AI for level 5 equivalent of traffic lights and control. Imagine having …
