In case anyone is curious about an overview of the actual changes: http://www.ada-auth.org/standards/22over/html/Ov22-TOC.html

Thanks!

This is such a strange take to be the top comment of “hacker” news. Why are we shaming someone who “hacked” something together and made it open source?

What about libraries that are not in their training data? (e.g. new libraries, private libraries)

Or knowledge that is in their training data, but the majority of its training data isn't following the best practices? (e.g. Web Content Accessibility Guidelines)

I think there is a fair point in those cases of having a bunch of markdown docs files detailing them

Why bother? To save more than 300k per year per employee. Just pay them via Payoneer or a similar fintech. For 70k you can get Argentinean top talent. They are in the same timezone as US East+1 and the top talent has usually a pretty good English level

You could also argue that without the US financing the Afghan side in the Soviet-Afghan war and the Iraq side in the Iraq-Iran war then the Taliban wouldn't have taken advantage of the Afghan power vacuum post civil war and that Iraq wouldn't have attacked Kuwait to avoid paying their debts, starting the Gulf War which was the prelude to the Iraq War

Yeah we definitely got what we paid for with Operation Cyclone. Unclear how things would have unfolded if Soviet expansion hadn't been opposed though.

But was Rust on the forefront of industry adoption in 2014? It seems it wasn't even officially released until 2015 according to Wikipedia and the only known project that I'm aware of that was using Rust back then was Mozilla's Servo which is (semi?) dead. Similar languages back then that could have replaced Rust and had similar potential were Nim and D and both of them failed to get a significant industry adoption

The link I posted below contains commentary on why they chose Rust over various other languages.

There were other production users of rust in 2014, notably Dropbox and a bunch of cryptocurrency stuff. But not very many, it’s true. A lot of folks waited until 2015 to start building on Rust after it stabilized.

Neat project!

However, I'm pretty sure OpenCV has their "universal intrinsics" and RISC-V with scalable vector registers is supported in the latest OpenCV version

Universal intrinsics (docs not updated): https://docs.opencv.org/4.x/d6/dd1/tutorial_univ_intrin.html Scalable RVV support: https://github.com/opencv/opencv/pull/22179

SQL has been Turing complete since the 1999 standard https://stackoverflow.com/a/7580013

you can always use a password manager like the KeePass family which is file based. sync it across devices with nextcloud/syncthing instead of gdrive/Dropbox/one if you are extra paranoid

according to James gosling (the creator of Java) in a interview from a year or two ago with lex Friedman he said he wanted a C++-like language but without its pitfalls: pointers bugs and bad concurremcy/synchronization primitives. This was to bring enterprise programmers (who mainly used c++ at that point) to the JVM ecosystem. He expected an explosion of jvm languages after that which, sadly, didn't happen. I think there were more pitfalls which I don't remember now.

Maybe he is saying bull now to look more cool, but he sounded rather convincing in the interview. I'd recommend to listen to it

That may be why it was designed, but GP was talking about why it was adopted. Those are such totally different things that it's not worth comparing them. Lisp?

Gosling's chief skill always was to sound convincing. (Lord knows language design wasn't it.) The contempt he had for Java coders is hard to miss in writings from the time.

That sounds suspiciously like Rob Pike and Go coders.

Rob is a careful student of history.

Can you send some examples? Curios to read those.
