Is this for real? Native apps on all platforms including GUI in Typescript...sounds too good to be true. Anyone have any experience with it? Does it work for crud applications?


That makes sense to me too. Why wouldn't that be an option or is not really just a small vein between the two, but a bunch of "blood vessels"?


Came across this a while back (haven't used it though): https://www.juniper-lang.org/ -- seems interesting and different. Specifically for Arduino tho and compiles to C++ apparently.


You could charge a lot and only not have dark patterns :-). Nothing says you have to charge a little because you are open-source/foss.


Yes. Make it a one time payment that is sufficiently large and you remove the pressure to retain users. In fact, it would be the opposite; find a great match as soon as possible to get the user off your platform.


But the answers are really coming from those "SEO laden crapware" sites that ChatGPT was trained on -- in some ways ChatGPT has kinda stolen information and summarized it, but what happens over time? How do arrive at a new recipe for the same old things?


This (the comment in the example link) is really an amazing sharing of learned information!


It's unclear to me what this is doing exactly -- is it finding the best ever? If not, why would the best change every time you run this?

Also, does anyone have pointers to a hash function discovery mechanism that discovers a good hash function for integer values within a specific range (i.e I know that my integer values are between, say, 10,000 and 200,000, for example) and I want to hash them into some optimal number of hash buckets?


It's randomly trying values to find the best of the ones it has tried that run. The values would change between runs because you can't feasibly exhaust the search space in a single run to find the absolute best (+the order you try is random).

If you're just looking for "good" the best approach is almost always to just use a normal hash function. If your numbers are extremely large and the range extremely small you can offset so the minimum becomes 0 again and use a smaller/faster hash. If you're more looking for "perfect choice of the exact range" I think the closest you'll get is something like this randomized approach but modify the tests to occur on your interval.


It feels like your change is changing the scene? The author's sentence makes it seem like the laughter was not in the restaurant, while yours makes it seem like it's taking place in the restaurant. Maybe I am overthinking it!


I think, as a kind of "get an explanation for a specific thing" this is a fantastic addition to the world of teaching/tutoring and hope it succeeds.

I tutor my son in engineering level subjects some times, but I find that I need tutoring myself too to understand some of the things :-). There are various well-known homework-help sites where you can post questions and get answers from "experts", but, none that I know that use a video based approach for the response.

As an aside I think we need more videos that explain how to approach solving specific types of problems -- not just the answer, but how to tackle breaking down the question and what to look for in the question to decide what theoretical aspects apply to solving the problem. I guess once a person has sufficient theoretical knowledge, they get an intuitive understanding how to do this, but engineering coursework doesn't leave too much time to digest a subject in depth and any help provided to minimize the time to internalize concepts/insights is always good.


Thank you for your kind remarks. As for the need for more videos on the "approach" of solving problems, that really resonates with me. I always wanted to learn how those mathematicians "see" matrices for example, how they "think" of what to do in the first place, etc.

If you're ever interested to try teaching/learning on explanations.app, I'm always here!


Since when has the broad term "networking" started referring to just Web protocols? Can I use this to build any random server (like, say, an FTP server) that provides services over the network? Skimming the docs, it doesn't seem like it.
