NEW POST

Birgitta Böckeler recently spent some time trying out running local LLMs for some programming tasks. In this memo she outlines the factors that influence how viable they are for the job.

We're gonna need some new benchmarks, fellas

cat is the most misused thing by programmers new to linux. I cringe every time someone uses it wrong in a bash script. Thread below with proper uses of cat only

@rickasaurus A C-like language can look much better if you are creative enough🤣

[Kris Jenkins (@[email protected]) @krisajenkins]

As much as I love certain programming languages—cough #Haskell cough—here's a nice reminder that the ideas are a bigger than the code that implements them. 🙂

What tricks are databases pulling to parallelize billion-row queries and answer them in seconds?

Join me & #DuckDB co-creator (& DB professor) Hannes Mühleisen for a delightful journey beyond the query planner.

We lost a titan of programming languages, programming methodology, software engineering and hardware design. Niklaus Wirth passed away on the first of January. We mourn a pioneer, colleague, mentor and friend.

this talk by @evancz is 🔥.

Writing Modern Software in Fortran

[Eelco Hoekema @hoekema]

@janiczek @roc_lang @elmlang OCaml wins. Clearly.

[Eelco Hoekema @hoekema]

@janiczek @roc_lang @elmlang Or , you could replace `\a, b` by `fn a, b`

[Eelco Hoekema @hoekema]

@janiczek @roc_lang Preferably just leave the \ out. If that is a problem for parsing, then add brackets.

Same with @elmlang btw. Beautifully designed language, fully user focused. Except the \, some geeky Haskell legacy.

[Eelco Hoekema @hoekema]

@janiczek I really can't understand why @roc_lang chose the geeky \a,b syntax.

[Wolfgang Schuster @wolfadex]

Before #elmlang:
- write PoC
- throw away and rewrite
- throw away and rewrite
- ...

After Elm:
- write PoC
- refactor
-refactor
- ...

[Eelco Hoekema @hoekema]

@z5h @aaronwhite @aarondfrancis Prolog is lovely, but it would still result in an application abstracting the data source with predefined interfaces, where the data people need ad hoc query interfaces. Graphql comes closest. Then again, that is not really that useful for bulk access.
