Nostalgic! Turbo C was my preferred IDE over many years in the late 80s to mid 90s. What an amazing tool! Those key bindings, used in so many other IDEs since, are burned into muscle memory. Even after decades of not using them, they bring a smile back. CodeWarrior, the debugger, helped me understand what happens when you run a program more than literally anything else I read or was taught.


This looks awesome. Would you have any data on the performance of large number of invocations of small scripts? I am wondering at startup overhead for every script run. which the 500kloc/s may not capture well.


It depends on your exact usecase, I'm not 100% sure what you're asking. There is some overhead for invoking the compiler on a per-script basis. If you're parsing once but running a script many times, Bolt provides some tools (like reusing a preallocated thread object) to ammortize that cost


We have a server which uses Lua based script plugins. They are usually a few hundred to a few thousand lines and get invoked via APIs. I was trying to figure out how Bolt will behave in such a context and whether we could replace the Lua based plugin engine with this.


You can absolutely do this in India. Every card based subscription requires an explicit authorization to set up. And every such authorized subscription can be seen in the bank app/site. You can choose to cancel those subscriptions at the bank end and the subscribed services will fail their next renewal. This is not just a service specific thing and is required by regulation for all recurring payments, incl utility bills, insurance premia, entertainment service, cloud services.


Anecdotal, I have been using 10, 20, 50, 100, 200, 500,... as the 'break points' where organizational structures need a rethink. So far, it has worked for me. These also match the lines on a log graph.


I used to think of building something related to let a mic pick up a single person to handle questions from the audience, during presentations. Will save the hassle of passing around mics.

This looks like it could do just that with the headphones feeding directly into the mixer and behaving like a focused mic.


Take a look at ONDC. They do exactly this in India. Early days, but seemingly successful with very low fees.

It would be so much fun if it's revealed that chatgpt is just a front for mechanical turk


I use WP all the time for a variety of nearly static sites that I can let someone else non-technical continue to add content. It works great for this purpose. There is nothing close to WP for this purpose.

It does need careful curating of plugins that one uses, set up suitable cloudflare frontends and preventing users from doing something seemingly simple but dangerous.

I get the feeling that a good chunk of the hate comes from people who tried it many years ago; or had needs which don't get met by WP; or received it as a legacy.


A combination of the second, third and a client who insisted on using it for a project where a headless CMS + custom code would have worked a lot better did the trick for me.

Still not really WP's fault, but it doesn't change the fact that I recoil a bit in horror when it's mentioned.


Indeed.


There will be a significant drop in reported research spending. This will seem like China is doing more research than the US. There will be a hueb and cry. Congess will incentivise research spending. Back to where we were.
