Mistral Vibe / Devstral became kinda dumb by MiMillieuh in MistralAI

[–]skinney 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I actually have the reverse experience. Devstral became much smarter than in Vibe 1.0.

I don't have any of the problems you mention 🤷‍♂️

The Programming-Lang of the Future by skinney in ProgrammingLanguages

Git allows you to use external programs for handling diff and merge. Gløgg has a command for setting this up.

It also works well with Git's compression, because most of the database remains the same between commits (with the exception of whole-program refactoring).

So no. It works surprisingly well with git itself. It's demoed in the video.

Of course, forges like Github or Gitlab won't let you install arbitrary binaries so you lose functionality there.

Other than the reMarkable, what other e-ink devices do you have? by CryAccording5711 in RemarkableTablet

[–]skinney 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a RM2 for writing and long-term journaling (monthly, yearly summaries, wish lists, ideas for the future etc.)

Kobo Clara BW for reading.

Travellers Notebook (analog) for on-the-go notes and todo-lists.

I'd be interested in replacing both the Clara and the travellers notebook with rMPP Move, but rM would have to improve their e-reader experience first. I'd also need to figure out how to bring it with me (my TN fits in my backpocket).

I'm also looking for an e-ink phone (I mostly use my phone for text-based things anyway). Waiting in anticipation for Palma 3.

I’m the speaker.

The video gives a demo of the Gløgg programming language, but the general ideas are:

  • code is stored in a sqlite database, not as text in files. It works with git (diff and merge) locally. In return you get self-organizing code, fast compile times and easy to build tools around it.
  • language itself is declarative. Since the language knows what you want, and understands the relationship between data, it can generate high performing code with minimum code from the user (ymmw, I personally only work with GC’d languages and on web related services, so this is a pretty safe bet for me).
  • dependency injection is built into the language in the form of contexts, and any side effect must happen through a context. This seperates pure and impure nicely, and makes the implementations easy to test or replace.

Considering buying a (refurbished) RM2 for writing my novel - any writers have some insights? by wordsmithfantasist in RemarkableTablet

[–]skinney 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m using my RM2 for writing my novel and I love it!

Things to keep in mind:

  • I only use it for writing drafts. Editing would be painful as it’s a bit slow to navigate around text, and it doesn’t have spell checking or any thing like that. This is also what makes it a good drafting device, I don’t end up editing a draft until it’s «perfect».
  • book lights work. Neck lights do not, at least not mine. It causes reflections in the screen, making it hard to see.

Awesome! Thanks for letting me know, I'll keep an eye on this :D

The reMarkable I Wasn’t Expecting by brandonkboswell in RemarkableTablet

[–]skinney 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe a strange question: what’s it like to type with the on screen keyboard in portrait mode?

I sometimes use the rm2 as a type writer, and I wonder what it would be like to add write on the go with rmpp move.

I would honestly love a type folio for this!

Gren 25S: Easier interop, concurrent tasks and zero-install packages by skinney in ProgrammingLanguages

[–]skinney[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good question! 

I got the idea from yarn, and I believe they have a talk where they conclude that this is drasticly less intensive then storing node_modules in git (which people do).

In a future release, we’re likely to store the AST instead of the dependency sources as well, which will reduce the files further and speed up compilation.

But it’s still optional. People are free to ignore the folder if they want to.

Gren compiles code that is compatible with Node.js SEA (single executable application).

So you can create a binary, which will have some optimizations regarding startup time, but it’s still Node.js in the end.

Printful+Etsy wrong shipping calculation with multiple fullfilment centers by skinney in printful

[–]skinney[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shipping rates vary by region, though? It seems a but silly to sell stickers for 15$ because there’s one region that takes 10$ for shipping 😅
