I received an email about this one year ago from one of the universities technicians/systems maintainer to let them know if we were running non-openjdk java runtimes because they received a million-dollar “warning” email. Greedy corps are even going after universities.
yeah, who knows - some people might rather waste time fighting a language model than actually learning things…
it’s too early for something like this imo, but maybe in a few years it serves a purpose
I’m writing a web app on Python + HTMX. Little to none javascript involved.
If it’s something simple you can check out FastAPI. For more complicated projects involving data models and relationships, check out Django.
IMO if you’re even slightly concerned about storage you should be using a DBMS instead of JSON files. They will handle sparse data, compression, and fast access better than a text-based file format.
If you don’t know Python, you’ll just waste time on this back and forth with the LLM. You can still use an LLM to answer your questions about the language, just don’t expect the generated code will run without you understanding it first.
it does, well at least associative arrays
with no support for associative arrays (dicts / hashmaps) or custom data structs this looks very limited to me
what browser are you using? It renders just fine on mobile and desktop to me
I read it as “monads, closures, and other functional concepts are mathematical (denotational) concepts that can be proven memory-safe, while ‘functions’ (operational, as in C) are not”.
I’m not convinced whether this operational/denotational distinction would even be useful in practice. Operational semantics are part of a formal proof using logical statements rather than math objects, so the statement above wouldn’t even make sense.
Paywalled
now let’s enable ublock origin
isn’t that what a canary release essentially is?
CoffeeScript wasn’t a fad, it just became obsolete because JS adopted the syntax sugar CoffeeScript was selling. In a way, it did its job.
after reading the title I thought he’d suggest something better than TS would take its place, but going back to JS? nah
you can re-affirm what the AI just commented and create an endless thread
well, I didn’t write the article
If you’re using an obscure acronym in your title, it deserves more than just a link in a footnote imo, but whatever
deleted by creator
and it doesn’t explain what the acronym stands for, or what it’s for
These things can just be unique fields. I think the takeaway here is exactly to not use these unique fields as database keys if you have the option / if it’s up to you.
