Data Science
It’s not clear to me if this is an acquisition of the venture capital subsidiary, but this part of Anonym’s FAQ is disappointing:
Privacy is an ambiguous term! Our primary focus is reducing or eliminating the need for advertisers and ad platforms to share personally identifiable information, attributes and behaviors about individuals with each other. It’s this kind of data sharing that often violates the expectations of users and creates legal and policy compliance issues.
That article makes is very clear that Laura Chambers is filling an interim role as CEO for less than a year as they look for someone else to take the role on a longer term basis.
RISC V seems inevitable
90’s? I assumed it was from the 80s or earlier
just bail out when you get to monads.
Isn’t writing Haskell nearly equivalent to writing monads? How could they start without using monads?
I’ve been making reference to the much discussed “replication crisis” in academia. They are factious comments meant to be jovial, entertaining, and thought provoking.
Apparently most of them.
I’ve been comparing crates on crates.io against their upstream repositories in an effect to detect (and, ultimately, help prevent) supply chain attacks like the xz backdoor1, where the code published in a package doesn’t match the code in its repository.
The results of these comparisons for the most popular 9992 crates by download count are now available. These come with a bunch of caveats that I’ll get into below, but I hope it’s a useful starting point for discussing code provenance in the Rust ecosystem.
No evidence of malicious activity was detected as part of this work, and approximately 83% of the current versions of these popular crates match their upstream repositories exactly.
Reproducing a recipe is something scientists struggle with, so it must be impressive when you succeed 😉
Maybe someone could modify peertube to be more microblog-like
repl.it is probably an option here.
But I’m curious why you think that programming in a browser is better than running on your own hardware.
You’ll find Go From The Beginning much more suitable for working hands on with challenges relevant to each lesson.
Think Python is a top quality book for learning. The latest version of Think Python by Allen B. Downey is available for free online in the form of interactive Jupyter notebooks hosted on Google Colab meaning you don’t need to set up, install, or configure anything up front to start learning to program using python. I think it’s 100% the best way for complete beginners to start.
While you’re working through Think Python, you can get real time feedback and answers here in !python@programming.dev (https://programming.dev/c/python) or:
They are all quite active and helpful to new learners.
When you are ready to install and run Python locally on your hardware you can refer to the Official Python Documentation. There is a section dedicated to installing and using Python
I don’t know what that means
If Mojo actually becomes libre software, I’ll start looking closer. It seems neat from a distance now, but I won’t invest energy on proprietary languages.
I was looking for something that’s not focused on memory safety at the expense of ergonomics. I was looking at Zig but I watched an interview with Odin’s inventor. I liked how he was approaching the language development trying use what has been learned from C and C++ but not trying to be compatible with C in the way Zig is.
The ecosystem is very immature compared to Rust and even less mature than Zig. But I want to keep with it for a bit.
I’ve moved on to OdinLang as I don’t have a use case for where Rust shines

My local library gives me access to O’Reilly Online, so free textbook access for just about any topic.
