So, 8GB of RAM would be cutting it close on a mac since part of that would have to be sacrificed for the GPU. | null | null | 41,803,172 | 41,799,068 | null | null | null | null |

41,808,206 | comment | rezonant | 2024-10-11T10:36:04 | null | I'm all for people writing functional code with Javascript-- but when people eschew classes because of their "stink" and proceed to use all of the stateful prototypal archaic features of JS instead of classes, I have to protest. If you are using this and function binding and state extensively in your "functional" JavaScript, you are reinventing classes poorly. And classes are a part of JS itself, not something added on to JS by Typescript (in the current day).<p>The Crockford crowd would like us to live in a world of ES5 as if that's some kind of badge of pride, while justifying it with a warcry of "functional", while breaking the preconceptions of functional programming all throughout. | null | null | 41,807,530 | 41,787,041 | null | [

41,808,208 | comment | syg | 2024-10-11T10:36:05 | null | The ability to do unordered operations on shared memory is important in general to write performant multithreaded code. On x86, which is very close to sequentially consistent by default (it has something called TSO, not SC), there is less of a delta. But the world seems to be moving towards architectures with weaker memory models, in particular ARM, where the performance difference between ordinary operations and sequentially consistent operations is much larger.<p>For example, if you're protecting the internal state of some data structure with a mutex, the mutex lock and unlock operations are what ensures ordering and visibility of your memory writes. In the critical section, you don't need to do atomic, sequentially consistent accesses. Doing so has no additional safety and only introduces performance overhead, which can be significant on certain architectures. | null | null | 41,801,835 | 41,787,041 | null | null | null | null |

41,808,222 | comment | HelloNurse | 2024-10-11T10:37:55 | null | Python type annotations are a good source of lightweight, easy to maintain metadata for many frameworks that provide valuable automatic handling of specific data types (for example defining deserialization and deserialization of nice class types with field declarations, like attrs/cattrs or Pydantic, or defining command line interfaces with function parameter declarations, like Appeal).<p>Expecting type annotations to be more generally useful is mostly projected, baseless declaration anxiety: tools and methods that are useful in other languages are expected to be relevant in Python, certainly comforting for the type-addicted programmer but not necessarily useful. Declaring types is perceived as normal, as a necessary burden and dynamic typing is perceived as missing important structural elements.<p>Consider the error pattern of accessing a value as if it had a different type: in C or C++ consequences are dire (possibly undetected and cascading memory corruption), likelihood is very high due to specific language features (pointers and references, raw arrays, casts, weak typing in general) and detailed type declarations are a useful mitigation because they turn run time catastrophes into actionable compile time reports, while in Python, thanks to robust duck typing without dangerous complications, consequences are mild (reasonable error messages or wrong results, before corrupting memory), likelihood is low (specific instances of unexpected and malformed data or gross API misunderstandings) and type declarations do nothing. | null | null | 41,805,877 | 41,801,415 | null | null | null | null |

41,808,229 | comment | EraYaN | 2024-10-11T10:39:12 | null | At least in C# you can ignore most of it and the complexity doesn't really come from numerous foot guns. You can still write Java 1.6/.NET 2 style C# code just fine, it's all there. The rest of the features can be fully ignored and they won't hurt you.<p>But then again the newer features they do make writing code a lot nicer, giving more compile time analysis warnings etc hopefully resulting in slightly better code. And the new features also enabled a lot of performance improvements in the runtime which is nice. .NET 2/4 wasn't all that fast, .NET 8 can be a lot faster. | null | null | 41,803,132 | 41,787,041 | null | [

41,808,231 | comment | Arch-TK | 2024-10-11T10:39:45 | null | I read up a bit more on floating point handling in C99 onwards (don't know about C89, I misplaced my copy of the standard) and expressions are allowed to be contracted unless disabled with the FP_CONTRACT pragma. So again, this is entirely within the bounds of what the C standard explicitly allows and as such if you need stronger guarantees about the results of floating point operations you should disable expression contraction with the pragma in which case, (from further reading) assuming __STDC_IEC_559__ is defined, the compiler should strictly conform to the relevant annex.<p>Anyone who regularly works with floating point in C and expects precision guarantees should therefore read that relevant portion of the standard. | null | null | 41,801,278 | 41,757,701 | null | [

It is lamentable that the focus is almost always on the atomic bombing itself instead of why it came to that point at all.<p>Many Asian countries feel scant sympathy toward Japan. From Indonesia to Malaysia to the Philipipines or even worse and for much longer, in Korea and China. In each of these countries the Japanese perpetrated massacre, forced labour, gang rape and forced prostitution in the millions. Even European women who were stranded in their former colonies were not spared. In fact their diaries are the foremost historical sources.<p>Their brutality is such that the hatred towards colonialist European nations were ameliorated and pretty much forgotten these days. It's sickening to me that outside East and Southeast Asia itself, most of the world only remember Nagasaki and Hiroshima when it comes to casualties in the Pacific theatre of WW2.<p>This sympathy felt even more misplaced considering even to this very day, unlike Germany, Japanese historiograpy deliberately downplays Japan brutality during occupation or that there was any aggression on their part at all. Most Japanese college mates in the US that I've talked to were not even aware that Japan occupied my country for years resulting in millions of casualties. | null | null | 41,807,681 | 41,807,681 | null | [

To such an extent that power usage barely even matters. A $20k that uses 1 kW ( which is way more than it would in reality ) 24x7 would cost $1.3k to run per year at 0.15$ per kWh, that's almost insignificant compared to depreciation.<p>The premise is that nobody could make any money by renting H100s for 2$ even if they got them for free unless they only had free power.

I think typing in python is obviously getting better, it just feels something went wrong when they constantly have to fix design mistakes other languages never made to begin with. Typescript is fun, its powerful and strict, typing in python is ugly and frustrating.<p>If this is the first time people are introduced to static typing in programming I can understand their frustrations and opposition to it. Its probably the worst type system in any modern, popular language out there, except perhaps when things like clojure(script) pretends to have types (<i>shudder</i>). | null | null | 41,805,604 | 41,801,415 | null | null | null | null |

If I told my coworkers I think the Earth is flat, they'd think I was an idiot and shrug and then continue to work with me. But somehow knowing how I vote is a shortcut to assuming I've drunk the party koolaid and believe in everything the party does and then we can't work together? The extreme sides of both parties are just that, extremes, and don't represent my beliefs on any number of issues, but it's a two party system so you have to go with one or the other, or throw your vote away. Elsewhere, people can work together just fine knowing their coworkers voted for the wrong party. | null | null | 41,807,008 | 41,804,460 | null | [

He's most famous for writing a book that shits on how much of the language should be ignored and avoided. To be fair, a lot of that was right, but it's far from comprehensive for the language we have today. Seems like despite another decade of improvements on the language The Good Parts lives on in the minds of readers as something relevant today-- while a new treatise on The Good Parts of <i>modern</i> JS is not present. There are definitely parts of JS today that should be discarded, like "var", but The Good Parts cannot help you with that, because when it was written you could <i>not</i> discard it, as there was no other option.<p>I've seen developers make complete messes of codebases that when using modern JS features would be mostly trivial, and they hide behind The Good Parts to justify it. And this includes suggesting that classes are somehow bad, and avoiding them in favor of POJOs and messily bound functions is preferrable despite JS not receiving a dedicated class concept until years after The Good Parts was published... | null | null | 41,806,277 | 41,787,041 | null | null | null | null |

But I haven't seen any improvement (except maybe the mouse scroll wheel and having a higher resolution screen) on real computer interfaces since the 90s.<p>And then you have some real useful psychological theories on attention and user-guiding that are used for evil to create antipatterns.

41,808,274 | comment | kasbah | 2024-10-11T10:44:56 | null | To me the interesting thing is the logic programming "rules" and their overlap with game rules. Inspired by work at Stanford on the logic programming based Game Description Language [1] I implemented Tic Tac Toe in Datascript yesterday: <a href="https://github.com/kasbah/datascript-games/blob/e06a37025bf921ed86935d40a0c882c8d053ad7b/tic-tac-toe.mjs">https://github.com/kasbah/datascript-games/blob/e06a37025bf9...</a><p>I am still not clear whether there isn't a more succinct rule definition than what I have there. In the Stanford paper you have rules like:<p><pre><code> (<= (column ?n ?x)
(true (cell 1 ?n ?x))
(true (cell 2 ?n ?x))
(true (cell 3 ?n ?x)))
</code></pre>
But in Datascript I have to do much more rigmarole around shuffling the data around:<p><pre><code> [(column ?n ?x)
[?current "ident" "current"]
[?coord0 "type" "coord"]
[?coord1 "type" "coord"]
[?coord2 "type" "coord"]
[?coord0 "m" 0]
[?coord1 "m" 1]
[?coord2 "m" 2]
[?coord0 "n" ?n]
[?coord1 "n" ?n]
[?coord2 "n" ?n]
[?coord0 "name" ?key0] [?current ?key0 ?x]
[?coord1 "name" ?key1] [?current ?key1 ?x]
[?coord2 "name" ?key2] [?current ?key2 ?x]]
</code></pre>
I don't know if this is down to Datascript/Datomic Datalog limitations or more the limitations of my understanding.<p>How do you approach your experiments? If you have any of your work to share or some tips on what I am doing I'd be very interested.<p>[1]: <a href="https://www.cs.uic.edu/~hinrichs/papers/love2006general.pdf" rel="nofollow">https://www.cs.uic.edu/~hinrichs/papers/love2006general.pdf</a> | null | null | 41,804,953 | 41,800,764 | null | [
