It's a real cool idea to compile everything down to lambda calculus and then you solve all semantics issues. (If something fits) you can convert 1:1, use general libraries in one language in others without loss etc. Ah, what a beautiful world it could be!


LOC is an important metric for cost. There's a certain budget of what a person or team can understand/manage.


To what extent is this practice applicable to other loads?


This is for platforms that serve many different models, most of which have very low usage. e.g. huggingface, civitai


> CUE spec

Have you heard of Ada, whose type system does the same thing?


Taking comments via a (n email) form, which you then manually add under the article's html/markdown is nice.


That's what I do, except I skip the form and just provide my email address at the bottom of each post.


The etymology is:

> A deliberate misspelling of lead, originally used in instructions given to printers to indicate which paragraphs constitute the lede, intended to avoid confusion with the word lead which may actually appear in the text of an article. Compare dek (“subhead”) (modified from deck) and hed (“headline”) (from head).

Further:

> In 1990, the American author and journalist William Safire (1929–2009) was still able to say: “You will not find this spelling in dictionaries; it is still an insiders' variant, steadily growing in frequency of use. […] Will lede break out of its insider status and find its way into general use? […] To suggest this is becoming standard would be misledeing […] But it has earned its place as a variant spelling, soon to overtake the original spelling for the beginning of a news article."


Sweden did not have a mask mandate and did very well.


Are you opining from the outside or did you live here during the pandemic?

If you entered a bus or any public space during that time, most people were wearing masks. And bus schedules were heavily adjusted to decrease density of people. Society did a lot to fight the virus, just not based on mandates but based on getting people to voluntarily do what was necessary because they in majority used common sense and an undertanding of what's the danger and what is needed. Similar to what an intergenerational space ship would need.

So, if your argument is "you can solve big problems without coersion" then I'm with you. You need a high trust society.

Though if your argument is "the mask stuff was just BS, just look at Sweden, they didn't use any and turned out well" then you just don't have a clue what you are talking about.


And most people did use masks. We did not do as good as our neighbours though.


Here in Buenos Aires we had a complete lockdown for 6 months, I coud only go walking only up to 1/4 mile and only to buy food. For longer trips I needed a writen authorization.

Most people used mask, even in the street, nobody complained, but a few morons used it in the chin that is not very effective.

Anyway, we got more death per million than Sweden.


Julia may be cool, but it's not an array language in the tradition of APL.


I've understood array language to mean "a language with focus on array processing" rather than "APL descendant". The array language comparison I found online lists Fortran, MATLAB, Julia etc. as array languages: https://github.com/codereport/array-language-comparisons


I think none of the languages in the linked article are, and that's not what it's about as sibling comments point out.


Sure but neither is Mojo.


Because it's in the middle of the night.


It’s almost 8 in the morning, rush hour


With a bad, possibly even dismissive expression, the poster may have wanted to note that (interestingly) to different timezone-related aggregations seem to correspond different interests.

...But details-wise, I think Dang for example has shown to be often active at this time.

Perhaps paradise. The browser as a lisp machine, ah... Dreams. The spritely team is making strides to using Guile in WASM, but it's nothing like s expr instead of JSON etc. could have been. https://files.spritely.institute/docs/guile-hoot/0.1.0/Intro...
