I run an IRC server and use too much Tkinter.

"Many long-standing compiler bugs with generics, typedesc and static types have been fixed in this release, effectively making these features stable."

Awesome! Though it may not be the "proper" use, the bugs regarding static types made working with ImGUI much more painful than it should have been.

The quickest win would to move off of Heroku. Either rent your own server that you can control (to a reasonable degree), or find an alternative that doesn't suffer that issue.

Redis would work but I'd be afraid of race conditions. There probably wouldn't be any, but it's something to be aware of.

If you wanted to test the waters with at least the relative public, I'd consider doing step 1 of renting a server, but then hiding it behind a Tor hidden service. Inconvenient to connect to? Yeah. (Probably) safe from the Hasbro demons? Also yeah.

Adjusting for inflation, $2.98 in 1977 is equivalent to $15 nowadays, which means that we've knocked this out of the park. On Ebay you can get a cheapo Android phone for under that amount with more storage than detailed on the article. And hey, gfortran is free!

The issue is when someone's unattended-upgrades bumps up the version and causes something to come crashing down. The people who need to use nogil should know that they need to, and will now have the ability to enable it

Nim 2.0.0 RC2 3 years ago

Awesome! Really looking forward to the 2.0 release - specifically default object values, which is one of the few language-level pain points I've had.

That's really neat! ImGUI has got to be one of the most satisfying GUI libraries to use, its fast, versatile and looks absolutely beautiful, so spreading it to even weird places is great!

Could you elaborate more on this? Specifically the DDA bit - I don't know which acronym you're referring to.

GCC a.out is an ELF file (except in extremely rare circumstances). "a.out" as a executable format is like ELF, but different and practically no longer used. This is a proposal to remove the latter

Finally, something that outright says that its intent is to be a discord alternative. So many platforms try to sell themselves on some other feature, rather than just being open source and self-hostable. So many things, like Matrix, come close, but lack key components to really competing, such as voice channels rather than calls.

I hope this goes somewhere!

It still is the case, and the documentation itself has improved greatly over time. PHP is one of the few programming languages that I feel can be used using only the official documentation (with the comments, of course)

PHP 8 6 years ago

Agreed, that's how I learned. Also run it by someone that knows PHP so they can yell at you. I've used prepared statements ever since then

If it hasnt changed, and I wasn't wrong in the first place, it has some issues with deep C integration, you need to jump over some hoops to get numpy working, and some of the other powerhouse libraries.

PyPy is fantastic, it rescued a project I had where a massive amount of json needed to be parsed before an absurdly short heartbeat. Not even some of the fast json libraries could do it, but with a drop-in PyPy replacement, it worked, and still does, wonderfully

We are effectively out of free, unallocated IPv4 addresses. All of them are owned by a non-regulatory authority. If any of those entities want to sell some of their IPs, or their block, they are free to do so, and it happens all the time. But if you wanted to go to ARIN and ask for an IP or a block, you are out of luck.

Looking lightly at some of the code and the screenshot provided, I'd like to compliment on the look of the language. A lot of the newer languages coming out mess with the "normal syntax" way too much, which discourages me from learning it. Beef actually looks like I could sit down, and learn the features of the language, rather than relearning a new syntax that wouldn't translate well.

I wish you luck!
