Started back up. Its five. They were well short of making it all the way. I love strategy of staying out and giving that young man the experience and he passed with flying colors. What a great restart he. Unfortunately they stretched it far on the fuel. Regan smith. Another one of the drivers able to come down and get tires at lap 140. Goes by brian scott. Here he is inside the top ten. Lupton slides uphill. In the 20 in that 25 car. That was a great effort for that team. Dylan thats what you want in a debut race. Run all the laps and gate solid finish and for that car and team hes doing an excellent job to get a 20 in his first start. Nine laps remaining right now. Lets go to 64 laps to go for our smart smooth of the race. Battle for the race lead. Joey logano going after matt kenseth. Look at that move he makes off turn two. Gained on kenseth. Clears matt on the back straightaway. Strong runoff there for joey logano. He parlayed that nice and smooth for the race. Good trip to victory

— qntmyrrh (@qntm) November 24, 2023 I remember growing up with that same old adage of how you could be the next scientist to invent a cure for cancer, or a solution to climate change, or whatever. What they don’t tell you is that we already have solutions for a lot of problems, we just don’t use them.
Metaprogramming, or the ability to inspect, modify and generate code at compile-time (as opposed to reflection, which is runtime introspection of code), has slowly been gaining momentum. Programmers are finally admitting that, after accidentally inventing turing complete template systems, maybe we should just have proper first-class support for generating code. Rust has macros, Zig has built-in compile time expressions, Nim lets you rewrite the AST however you please, and dependent types have been cropping up all over the place.
You can t have a 4-slot GPU. You just can t.
We have finally left sanity behind, with nvidia s 4000 series cards yielding a “clown car” of absurd GPU designs, as GamersNexus put it. These cards are so huge they need “GPU Support Sticks”, which are an actual real thing now. The fact that we insist on relegating the GPU to interfacing with the system while hanging off of a single, increasingly absurd PCIe 6.
I am currently porting an experimental language to Windows. This experimental language was built in C++ with LLVM, and relies heavily on GCC extensions like VLAs and Compound Statement Expressions, which basically made it impossible to build with MSVC (although I have a truly horrifying idea I may attempt later). Luckily, you can now build things on Windows with Clang, which solves a lot of problems. However, clang-cl simply compiles the code - it still uses the Microsoft C++ headers and links to the Microsoft C++ runtime.
