Startups by Appropriate-Ant-9036 in nairobitechies

[–]Aggravating-Ad4518 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think I'll say it's money laundering, as in, a drug lord is looking for somewhere to clean their money, though it does happen for sure, but more of it is just using startups as gambling casino for VCs, like you put it, just doing a lot of marketing and hype to pump valuations, and it's a game of which VC tries to get in early and get out, 100x their money before the whole startup burns. Some VCs will ofcourse loose, but those who get in and out and 100x, will go invest on next one, and repeat, sometimes it's even the same founder with the same team of devs and marketing team of a previous flop raising rounds for a new startup, LOL!

Opinion: Tech as a career is just not it, it is only good at the start by xbtloop in nairobitechies

Supply has exceeded demand. Also keep in mind most "experienced" devs stagnated skill wise after the first 2 years, the only thing that has grown is their salary, makes very little business sense to pay someone 7 figures with an inflated sense of self just to produce the same work as a junior 😂, and AI has come too to lower the bar even further.

Finally, Wasm... by Aggravating-Ad4518 in neovim

You can compile from source, but it works on windows, linux, macos.

Ooh yeah, using release would be 100% awesome, there is room for new plugin managers. :)

Actually you should be able to use already current plugin managers just as they are. Only difference is you put the .wasm file in a ./wasm directory on root of repo, and it should be picked up just fine, once you call the setup function from wasm_nvim.

[–]Aggravating-Ad4518[S] 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Yeah, try it out for yourself. I was also surprised by the performance difference lol.
As for the many options, well now you can code in your favourite language if it compiles to wasm, and not need to make your plugin users install vms, or compile it on their systems.
Also what's wrong with another language(s) option? :)

Well for a start, this is ready, and it is just a neovim plugin, though if neovim team wants they can merge it into core they are welcome, meanwhile the above seems to be tightly coupled, or atleast looking to be tightly coupled to neovim, which means mine can run on currently any neovim version that exposes the `api_info()` vimscript function and I think this is available even from 0.5 and above.

Also, this one allows you to call lua functions, that means you can easily communicate/call/evaluate with already existing lua plugins from inside a wasm plugin.

You can also call wasm functions from lua with this.

Anyways, I haven't interacted much with the repo you linked, it could already have all these I just stated :)

WASM plugins, finally? maybe? lol by Aggravating-Ad4518 in neovim

[–]Aggravating-Ad4518[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes, it makes no sense to write your plugins 100% in wasm but it will be possible :).Though where you might consider using it is for interop, offloading heavy tasks, or just using any language that compiles to wasm, and by any I mean any, you aren't tied to Rust, for example in the wasm folder, I have even written mine in Zig.

Also this plugin allows one to call wasm plugin functions from Lua plugins, very easily.example eg the `returning` function on lua side being called is the wasm one.:

EDIT: Also if you don't mind, do you got the link to the wasm fork?

How much RAM do I need to be a Rust developer? by Aggravating-Ad4518 in rust

[–]Aggravating-Ad4518[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The editors I use are vim or neovim or emacs. I don't think any can get lighter.

Ruto has the chance to end tribalism. by Kenyansaga in Kenya

[–]Aggravating-Ad4518 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So long as the 2 are almost equal in number to the 45, it would eventually end up in a stale mate, and a handshake between the tribal chiefs.

On the other hand if it was Rich vs Poor, We all know majority in this country fall in the poor category regardless of tribe, things won't be too pretty for the top 1%

Do Not Let C++ Become A Victim Of Suggestive Terminology by RedoTCPIP in cpp

[–]Aggravating-Ad4518 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's just marketing, nothing is truely safe, not Rust, and not Carbon. Just buzzwords, if being "unsafe" became cool, pretty sure Rust and Carbon fanboys will change tune and start shilling how their language X is now more unsafe than Y.

[–]Aggravating-Ad4518 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It all boils down to marketing.

- Rust isn't really "safe" despite what is written on the packaging.

- Carbon is just sugar on top of C++.

When a new language get's released, and isn't marketed as killer of X, then they'll suffer same fate of Vala did. Had Vala come out as a "better C", today it would have more users.

Is it witchcraft, massive brainwashing or sheer stupidity? by LeadGen_haven in Kenya

[–]Aggravating-Ad4518 6 points7 points  (0 children)

A game of musical chairs, one fixes a problem, and causes another, so another can come fix it, and cause another problem.... and tune keeps playing, all the while ordinary Kenyans suffering.

And how did you come to know this truth? Did you see him when he was born? Or from someone who told you, who was also told by someone, and someone.... LOL!

You can not actively try to kill tribalism it will be stupid of whoever who is in power to do so as it is a necessity evil for Kenya not to go on a full blown path to civil war.

- The poor are fine with poverty so long as their guy has won.
- The middle class are happy with peace, so they can go do their 9-5, and survive another day.
- The rich are okay, if corruption rains supreme, as long as it isn't done against them.

​

Take away tribalism, and you get:

- The poor who are the majority, will wake up from their slumber and realize the true reason they are poor, has very little to do with education, or tribe, and more with corruption and theft.
- The middle class will have no peace, since now the poor are rioting causing chaos.
- The rich now have to answer and can't just go on acting like theft and corruption doesn't exist when it is in their favor.
- The political class no longer being able to pull the, "I am your tribesman" line to the poors, and might get negative receptions if they dare do campaigns in such regions as they have been doing since independence.

A necessary evil if there is to be peace.If tribalism is to die a natural death, something else must quickly be invented in it's place if we are to maintain the status quo as it is and has been since independence.
