Also nitpicking: “bespoke” means made for a particular customer. I think here you need to”proprietary”.


Taivalsaari’s Kevo is a marvelous language.


Yes I remember liking the idea with that one. And thinking that its "clone families" were a bit like implicit structural typing in a way. And that perhaps there was a way one could do a kind of static typing & type inference with something based around similar ideas. (e.g. this method takes as an arg anything which structurally matches xxxx, which we could deduce via clone families, etc.)


Tim Sweeney & Epic are creating the language Verse whose logic functional underpinnings will make concurrency & correctness easier in Fortnite. https://youtu.be/ub-dls31Pyw


How could they do what? I watched for a few minutes, and they mentioned that people might lose a lot of stuff they worked on, but didn't indicate what that was. What did they do?

Thank you so much for this link. This article is so much more informative than the article of the title of this thread, which does, in my opinion, more harm than good to the pro-climate change crowd with its misleading catastrophizing.


Why? Have you been burned before?


These are not riddles.


Luckily, your interests are very, very inexpensive.

One of the worst things school systems teach us, incorrectly, is that life is a linear progression. Every person on a career ladder is missing out on other career ladders that may be better for them.

Apply to every job that looks interesting, network, get in the habit of checking the careers section of websites you visit.

Locate a job advert you’re not qualified for, spend a week watching YouTubes on the topic, and apply.

Walk 3 miles across your town and count how many “hiring” signs you see. Apply for 10 of those.

Readjust your expectations every day (that’s right, no hyphen) for three weeks and then re-assess (yes, hyphen here). You’ll get a crappy job, but lots of fodder for your writing.

Your next job will be better.


No.

ARM or RISC-V.

Apple makes some very nice ARM machines. If you’re running Windows, see https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/windows-arm-base...

Read Hennessy & Patterson and get back to us.


>Apple makes some very nice ARM machines.

That can be rendered inoperable any time Apple decides to force you to upgrade. Horrible advice.

Also, ARM/RISC-V is still new. Lots of stuff has poor compatibility, and no, compiling everything from source isn't a solution.


>ARM/RISC-V is still new RISC-V debuted in 1981. ARM was introduced in 1985.

It's nieve to suggest that compiling everything from source is the only way. Windows and macOS work on ARM, as well as many Linux distros (e.g. Ubuntu, Arch/Manjaro, Fedora, Linux Mint, and the list goes on).
