It’s lacking the huge community python has though.

And where did Rust, Python etc get their huge community from in the first place? From being jack of all trades? No, because they were the best fit for their use case. After they established themselves there, they became widely good.

Nim is not transpiled. Transpilation means translation between equal levels of abstraction. The C code generated by Nim is not something most people would do anything with.

I like Nim and many concepts of it with the big point of discussion being that function names get normalized (helloWorld === hello_world).

But I feel like that Nim is a language without purpose. It’s all nice and cool on paper, but it has no use case where I think “I have to do it in Nim”.

Go is known for making small, fast startup web apps, Python for making small one time tasks or Data work, Rust low level programming if you like functional programming, PHP if you want yo setup a website as fast as possible.

But Nim doesn’t have this, it doesn’t have a library that’s better than in all other languages. It’s nice but what for?

The “microsoft rival”, as it is called in the headline, is alfaview, a company that offers GDPR compliant video conferencing software.

And they complain that Teams gets bundled with Office by default which givea this an advantage over other (their) product.

Problem solving is basically patent. After all what is stopping a megacorp from using the same solution but in such a way that doesn’t copy the exact work? Software for example, with current IP law, clean room reverse engineering is completely legal.

Think of how Tribute of Panem and Divergent almost have the exact same story beats but are still separate IP. IP protects singular works, like authors and their books, artists and their work.

I used the chat feature semi-regularly to chat with people about more private stuff. It was mostly about exchanging in creative endeavours, sharing what we had before posting it to Reddit.

So I am a bit moved now that they want to delete it.

But I also hated Reddit’s implementation of it. Under certain circumstances it wouldn’t load older messages and worst of all it was only available on the official app, not even their mobile web app. So continuing my chats forced me to use my desktop, or to try out the app which was horrible.

At this point, let Reddit burn in their mistakes and hopefully the others will make it better.

Lemmy is written in Rust. I currently don’t know if there is fediverse server software written in Go tbh

I only know of a handful of cases where branchless programming is actually being used. And those are really niche ones.

So no. The average programmer really doesn’t need to use it, probably ever.

Sure, a lot of retro games, especially from the SNES: Super Metroid, LoZ AlttP, the Mario All Stas Collection.

But also like GBA games like Pokémon RomHacks or Mario vs Donkey Kong.

But I also really enjoy playing some Portmaster games. I actually spent most of my time now playing Shovel Knight lol. But I also have fun that Sonic fan games are easily installed. I played a bit the Sonic fan game Sonic Robo Blast 2

I have some great fun playing Pokémon RomHacks like Unbound or GS Chronicles.

Otherwise I started playing the original Mega Man Battle Network titles for the GBA.

I have an RG353V and I freaking love this thing.

The past few years I barely played games at all. It’s only when I got my little device that I noticed how much I liked playing anywhere: On my couch, on my seat, in my bed or during travel.

It really reignited my love of games.

The manufacturer is chinese, so that’s why most offers are from chinese resellers.

I think it would be the best advice to buy directly from their online store

I love cute birdies. And this logo looks so awesome. Thank you so much for sharing your work :)

If we randomly assume they were halfway down (no idea on where they actually were but as a blind guess 50% is a good starting point)

The wreck was found 500m away from the wreck of the Titanic, the Titan descends in a curve and not straight downwards, gives pretty good indication that they were near the depth of the ocean floor. Combine that with the fact that they descended faster than anticipated and that they lost communication right around the time they were supposed to reach the lowet point, I think they were close to the ocean floor.

But cautiously saying half is probably better.

Apparently they learned a lot from r/subredditsimulator

I’m interested to see how AI training on reddit turns out. Especially the default subs are full of snarky jokes, even on serious topics the majority of comments are “funny” one liners. And those are the ones getting the most upvotes.

Compared to a system like StackOverflow where the upvoted answers are the most helpful and mostly well written and thoughtfully crafted.

Reddit is really on their way to become the next facebook.
