It also seems AI generated?

Great idea, but if the important EU players aren't there, what's the point?

Don't get me wrong, I'm all for it; but, if you're buying a "smart" TV, you might as well use the processor present in it. Rooting it and what not.

I guess I should have specified this.

You kind of leave all the compute that the TV has built-in basically unused

I feel like that may be more of an issue with how Python's C API is designed, leaking basically most of its internals, and then having to remember to manage (increment/decrement) Python objects correctly.

Why not first fix the clock back as it was before the DST, and then abolish it completely?

I personally am not a fan of playing around switching clock hours, it's annoying every single year and as a result of the clock change I always feel more sleepy during the winter.

I think it would be much nicer, although unrealistic at the moment given the number of combinations of GPU vendors and variety of hardware, to directly target the underneath GPU ISA machine code.

Since I can write a simple compiler to target x64 machine code, it should be possible to write one to target my GPU.

Though, I'm certain that vendor lock is probably more profitable for them.

I'm a software engineer with around two years of professional experience using Java, Python, Javascript and SQL (Postgres, Oracle)

Outside of work, I focus on systems programming and language implementation. I'm currently building a compiler in C from scratch, and I'm particularly interested in compilers, interpreters, runtimes, developer tools and low-level software in general.

I'm open to systems software, compiler or back-end roles, and I'm also interested in startup environments.

It seems to be a catch term now, since I've seen it being used by some startups

It definitely worked as a marketing stunt for sure

I kind of don't see the benefit, as it's still going to use only the window, input and platform integrations features, while SDL3 has a whole software renderer built-in and much more.

Compatibility with PUC Lua versions after 5.1 is especially hard, given that more or less arbitrary syntactic and semantic but also C API changes have been introduced in every version since then.

That is mostly the reason why LuaJIT is stuck with a mix of 5.1 and toggled 5.2 features.

Oh, that is unexpected... I tried applying for a position at Modular a few days ago.

Tracing JIT compilers are very interesting, and there definitely needs to be more resources on such complex topic.

The only way to lessen the need of drivers would be to have more standardized and stable hardware interfaces and peripherals.

I don't know what's more bizarre, either it's SpaceX buying what is essentially a clone of VSCode with AI tools on top, or a VSCode fork being valued billions of dollars.

I really really wished they released a Raspberry Pi running a RISC-V 23 processor :(

The USB-C standard doesn't allow for a magnetic attachment. Besides, those are notoriously unsafe and probably even dangerous to use.

Have you seen Claude Code's TUI React codebase? The amount of pointless over-engineering for what is effectively just a terminal text application is pretty astounding.

Was it really necessary to cut out Magsafe?

I feel like I end up stumbling on the charging cable at least one or two times. Plus, I wouldn't be able to re-use the old Macbook charger I have :(

My parents also grew up in Soviet Moldova, I don't know what you want to educate me about.

The Soviet Union specifically pushed the idea that "Moldovan" was separate from Romanian and imposed the Moldovan Cyrillic alphabet in the MSSR while Romania itself used the Latin script. This was of course only one part of a broader [0] russification effort, alongside deportations and population transfers.

I'm also not sure how Cyrillic having been adopted in medieval times is relevant to this topic, unless you're trying to justify or connect older usages.

[0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russification#Bessarabia/Moldo...

Cyrillic has been used as a political weapon under the Soviet Union.

For example, in soviet Moldova it was mandatory to learn to read and write cyrillic at schools. They effectively wanted to eradicate the local language and culture in favor of russian.

I don't know, it's the third language they mention to introduce, first there was Swift, for whatever reason.

I think they should be first focusing on getting to a first stable version before re-writing parts of the browser.

It baffles me that virtually all ARM and RISC-V boards have soldered RAM.
