How does this compare to Squirrel?

As a native Spanish speaker, this sounds totally made up. Nova sounds like an astronomy word, like supernova. “No va” to me means something like “it’s not happening” or “the plans have been cancelled”. But it’s pronounced very differently.

You said it terribly to be honest

Then we blindly trust that someone else is still reading the new version’s code and will raise the alarm if something bad happens.

I’d guess hardware acceleration could have something to do with it

Interesting take. I’d like to see such an OS, I wonder what requirements/limitations it would have.

I just use less of it. Me and my wife consume a 0.3g dose in our vape about once a week, and that’s enough for us to relax.

There’s a tile that I cannot move. It looks like 2 houses 3 trees and one well.

So you’re saying that it does make you 10x as productive?

I find it funny, but excellent, that this post is flagged. One of the things I love the most of HN is the ability to stay on topic. I too hope HN stays like this forever.

You have developed pieces of software. You are a real developer.

Please go take a look at Rust and/or Swift to see how nice a language without null feels like. It’s not that there’s no way to model nullability/optionality. It’s just that there’s a much better way to do it. Simple, obvious, composable, no quirks.

I also do this sometimes.

I’ll also randomly switch persons to avoid making someone uncomfortable, and I’ll follow from 1-2 blocks away.

One gets used to syntax, don’t let that be the reason you don’t like a language.

I love reimplementations.

I’ve recently been playing Julius, a reimplementation of Caesar III; and Augustus, a form with extra features:

I read somewhere that the amount of programmers in the world doubles like every 5 years. That means that at any given moment, half of programmers have less than 5 years of experience.

I completely agree with this.

I recommend people Zsh: it's very familiar, scripts copied from the internet will most probably work and they have lots of flexibility to adjust it to their needs.

I personally have a Mac with Fish installed, I don't enjoy the process of sharpening my tools, I'm willing to give up flexibility in exchange of great defaults. It's the same reason why after I learned how to use a sharpening stone, I ended up buying an electric knife sharpener.

Please snuggle your pup in the morning too. They deserve it and you know it.
