I was unaware of alternative IRs for julia (albeit I started learning much more about compilers once I left the julia ecosystem). What other IRs is this supposed to replace? And why not just go with MLIR directly?
Thanks for sharing your experience, I'm glad to hear that mobile linux is practical for some people. What do you do for GPS? And in day-to-day use, doesn't WayDroid drain the battery?
Tap to pay isn't itself a dealbreaker, for me it's more a representation of the status-quo and what is to come, specifically how more and more of the modern world will rely on integrations with proprietary software and hardware on phones. Tap to pay with credit cards isn't too big of a deal, but the wallet as a whole (i.e. boarding passes for airplanes, gift cards, ChargePoint tap-in) is a major feature.
Linux has long been the most practical laptop OS for me, but I can't see it ever being competitive with mobile OSes, and that's coming from someone who wants it to succeed (I've installed postmarketOS on a OP6T). I just don't see how it will overcome the various issues (app support, tap-to-pay, camera quality, etc).
really interesting perspective, as an ex-julia user, can't really argue with the main points. I will say that julia is delightful to use and code in, whereas the article's main point is that rust becomes bearable once you don't have to code yourself, haha.
Is the site broken for me, or is there literally zero information on what this is besides the title of this HN post? I’ve never seen a waitlist for such little information
This is why I like buying in a physical store. I also think the only solution to this practice is really just to avoid buying as much as possible. I never get food delivery and only get uber to go to and from the mechanic. Ditto for the medical system, I got charged $400 for a strep throat test. I’ll just stay home until I feel better
It can be an exhausting way to view relationships, but I think it’s true. I’d argue there also is plenty of room for intimacy and vulnerability when it’s genuine. I think people appreciate these traits when they are genuine and appropriate, and prefer it to a fake aura of confidence
Love this. I feel this narrative is woefully under-appreciated. I think there’s something beautiful about watching people who aren’t near the top of their field, “normal” people who are just trying to have fun. But that doesn’t make a good story usually. I’ve tried writing some fiction along these lines, and it requires quite a bit more narrative to convey.
