I’m on the more powerful the better side. So for me, Scala is the weakest type system I like working with.

Practically tho: aside from the issues you mention, the type checker for python would be a great aid for a broader range of developers than myself!

I don’t think a powerful type system can be added to python effectively. Even more convinced of this after reading “minimize false positives”.

Otoh, how strong of a type system is required for effective development? Probably what can be shoehorned into python tbh.

Sounds like they are developing win32 code. The resource id nonsense is very win32.

So yes: instant legacy code. Win32 is dead.

The processor definition is in Scala using Chisel. This produces an HDL (what’s needed for actual hardware) using a typed embedded domain specific language. This also compiles to a software model for validation. But that’s not the same as “software only”

Beyond All Reason is really interesting. There is a long history there! The engine was originally made to play Total Annihilation mods (or the full game? Not sure). That evolved over something like 15 years!

The end result though is not just a good open source game but a damn good RTS with an awesome scene. I <3 BAR.

Anyways, aside from fawning over BAR what’s my point?

Plan for the long game: these projects can take a long time to gain traction.

That does constrain the optimizations to a profile determined prior to the end user. Which is hopefully the same but might not be. Shared code between applications also is a challenge.

Scala 3 native. If the compiler was faster I’d be even happier. Curious to try Ada

They are slippery. So they require a case. Why not, i dunno, make them easier to hold? The phone design doesn’t matter if it’s always hidden.

Is ipfs usage growing? Stagnant? No idea… Diatributed serving of content seems great

Scala-js is becoming my go to scala backend. I did not know there was a wasm feature coming. Will try

Razor and Blade should be real

Absolutely does. Source: worked for Amazon.

Insurance companies are optimized for keeping you sick until medicare. Then you are Medicare’s problem and they never paid out. Pure profit at the low cost of health and suffering of millions.

I’ve done this! Was not really the point of the trip but decided to give it a try.

Specifically, went to Taiwan and paid for the fanciest and most comprehensive health panel i could. I cannot compare the price to the US because nowhere in the US offers an equivalent service.

Ezra.com is close but: 1. Much worse quality. 2. Only offers 1/8 of the tests i got. 3. Considering only the comparable tests the cost is 3.5x more.

Like, i cannot describe to American doctors the experience because it’s like a fantasy tale. I couldn’t of possibly had that experience in their minds. They are so deep in the american shitcare the story i describe must be false. The damage to the psyche when you realize you are working your ass off for less pay to deliver a worse product is too much.

The denial of many Americans is too much. They’d rather die painfully, and at great cost, than admit capitalism cannot solve healthcare.

Not Java specific but the jvm has facilities for doing hot reloading way better than other things.

Check out the field of multi agent simulation. There is a variety of related software there.

There are also actor systems. That’s a low level model of computation. Seems like it would be suitable for building agent simulations. I’ve wanted to try that but no luck yet.

ChatGPT is great at tutoring python. Go as well. Not sure on the others.
