why stopping at rust? Let's have a windows version written in python another in crystal and another in java. At least the generated code will be readable and maintainable!!!/s
Re:Writing a Mathematica Interpreter in Typescript on Tuesday October 22, 2024 @12:46PM (#41916139)
In the company I work for, I was using Mathematica as a general scripting language, for designing algorithms, plotting data in 2D/3D, photo/video editing , and some occasional algebraic manipulations. Sadly the company did not renew the license because they needed to cut costs. They asked me to port all my tooling to other languages and tools: now I have a mixture of python, matplotlib/gnuplot, ruby, maxima, ffmpeg, imagemagik and octave. So far good but I preferred to have everything under one GUI/interface and Mathematica was giving me that.
Maybe PinePhone or Librem5 are a good start.

If you use "from" in the second example, the answer is the same as in the first ... anyway the system should figure it out.

Don't you have to include the shares outstanding in your calculation? Your analysis seems to assume the total shares is the same between the two companies.

Re:Teams is killing my Mac every day on Wednesday July 13, 2022 @01:38PM (#32086101)
I use a Dell laptop from 2017 with an AMD E2-6110 Quad core, SSD, 8GB memory and Debian 11 with an extra screen attached to the HDMI port. In this laptop I have Teams-Preview v1.5.00.100453 which I use heavily everyday for work (calendar, voice, video and chat). Teams takes about 30 seconds to start but after that just runs very well. No crashes, no issues with sound or video. Everything is responsive considering a laptop with such a slow processor.

Re:Ask HN: Why is building Windows apps so complicated? on Sunday December 12, 2021 @09:45AM (#29530028)
This is bit extreme and if you are ok with the c language: 1. download tcc for windows(tiny c compiler from Fabrice Bellard). 2. compile the examples in the examples folder. Here you will find the 'hello world' program for both command line and win32 gui.

The download size of tcc is a few megabytes and the compilation times are for practical purposes instantaneous. You will have to bring your own IDE or text editor.

Look around for GEOS from Berkeley Systems. It was a graphical OS for the Commodore 64/128. I was using this thing in 1986.
