Looks very very interesting. For my immediate use-case to simulate a real-world 3D space, would it work with exact dimensions? Like can I give it exact dimensions and then can it render it truthfully? For example, I want to say I have walls of 8ftx5ft, and I have N paintings of so-and-so specific sizes (I have the exact sizes), is it able to use the dimensions exactly?

Hmm, interesting. Are you speaking from experience for Haskell? I'm a Haskell developer since 2017, and have been using LLMs to write code (including Haskell) since 2024. In my experience, LLMs perform much better generating Haskell/Rust code over Python/Javascript.

If the author of the article is here, do try out org-mode. That is exactly what you need. It is designed to be a simple text file format, but tooling on top of it (simple editor plugins, mostly in emacs, but there are equivalent plugins in vim/neovim; I'm sure there must be something in today's kool-aid VSCode editors) make it so so much more powerful.

Org-mode has TODOs, Agendas, tables, nested/collapsible headings, mind-maps etc. You can also generate richly formatted PDFs/HTML/DOC files as well.

This comment has some good insights. Actually a lot of "business" software were like that in the 90s and early 00s. They were optimized for productivity of the user and not necessarily aesthetics of appearance or ease of use (well, trade-off). Even old version of excel etc. were designed like that. Unfortunately modern web software has such high importance on making it eye-candy.

Maybe the commenter was just being sarcastic. But I agree it's hard to tell.

I'm a programmer and geek myself, and heck, even toyed with the idea of having open-source alternative to GSuite. But reading the title I too thought it's an alternative to Google search. Reading your first para cleared it up though. Just a heads up.

But seems like that recently has changed. Now the paywall-ed articles are shown more to people[1]. So even authors with large number of followers don't get their articles shown to their followers.

I think if you write good content, and post it on good programming communities like HN or Reddit, I don't think its that hard to get it noticed.

Edit: formatting

Surprisingly, the most important organizations (like banks and government departments who have critical data) who need to ditch this practice, embrace it like the holy grail.

In India, I could access Youtube, Gmail (web) and Google cloud console and GKE and Compute Engine instances in south-east asia region.

This was really unexpected! I follow him on twitter and he was tweeting about FPGAs, which seems like, only few days back!

I am grieved.

I think Microsoft just wants to give up on the browser market/share/innovation (for business reasons ofcourse </snark>). They just needed to have a default browser installed on their system and hence just wants to rebrand chromium and drop it in their default installation.

If they really cared, they could have adopted Gecko/Spidermonkey atleast.

The documentation or the website doesn't list all the languages it supports, especially for jump to definition. It just says all popular languages. This is a bit concerning, because the docs also mentions no (planned) support for plug-ins yet.

FWIW, I'm interested in Haskell support. For jumping to definitions and showing type of expression under cursor.

This is a post on `X` by example.

I don't think it's constructive to the discussion here to say X has drawbacks (and then go on at it), use Y (and then go on at it).

I have not used Erlang or Rust, and when I read this comment, it seemed flamewar-ish to me.

I might try to explain this but I think I will definitely miss something or won't be able to articulate. Instead, I would suggest episode 1 of Life of Birds [1].

David Attenborough talks about the evolution of birds, what classifies a bird, where do we draw the line between dinosaurs and birds (he even talks about this elephant bird) in the first episode of Life of Birds [1]. Also, watch the whole documentary if you're interested.

Why aren't code snippets part of the article? Why are they hosted somewhere else? Especially when they are 2-3 line snippets.

Your comment exactly misses the point of GPL!

If I, as an upstream developer, license my library in GPL, it is exactly because I don't want any random developer to use my library and don't pass on the same freedom to end users. I intentionally want anyone using my library to be in the same freedom sphere (for lack of a better word).

If you think this as problematic/cancerous then it's a pity. This license was designed to retain freedom of software users.

Have you done this? What is your experience?

But you can inspire them, your kids. Tell them your stories. Your adventures. Your mishaps. How things are different in other countries.

Tell them about mountains, rivers and the seas. About different animals that they can't see anymore. Tell them about how mankind came to be.

You can be their, potentially, biggest inspiration at this age (presuming they are quite young).

PS: Sigh, I'm a hopeless romantic.
