To all those making catastrophical scenarios, how would a Chinese entity start streaming data from your robot cleaner and, more importantly, how will this be a security breach at your home or worse, nation?
A comment like this belies a complete lack of imagination. Having a view inside the house of anyone remotely in power can be used in all kinds of ways ranging from espionage to simple blackmail. A video of infidelity, large purchases, guest lists at your domicile etc. can be catastrophic for someone that wants something from you.
My understanding after reading many of such posts is the following:
1) You are NOT serious (in effort to be invested, resources, knowledge), then don't do it.
2) You are MEH serious, then probably design some DLC in Lua or similar, will serve your case 99%.
3) You ARE serious, then go for it. Chances are that you might even post it here one day, but also almost no one will ever use it apart from some crazy fans.

I did it while being non-serious. I got like a half of a language working. And I don't regret it. It was fun. I've got a little bored and distracted by other things, and so I've stopped working on it.
Such posts are great, because they let you pick some new ideas that will be fun to code.
> You ARE serious, then go for it.
I don't think it works this way. To become serious you need some really good idea. But to get a really good idea you need to do at least a couple of full loops through the four phases the article begins with. Before you invested a lot of time into writing languages, you are highly unlikely can get a really good idea for a new language.
There is no harm in building a compiler and designing a language as a hobby. It is gratifying to build something and see it work, and it is often interesting to hear about other people’s projects.
The problem comes when designers have delusions of grandeur about their language/compiler. There are lots of people like this on programming language forums who drive themselves nuts because they don’t realize that languages become popular due to platform exclusivity/marketing or due to word of mouth around a readily available implementation that offers something unique. Most hobby languages/compilers are not that different from existing ones so this rarely happens. And the people who create languages are rarely good at building communities because they usually lack social skills (and they tend to be a little manic/defensive about their creations).
I hope they also get to use the new JUPITER supercomputer in Germany which was built, among other things, to strengthen the AI aspirations and self-sufficiency of Europe.
Only for professional audio applications, and nearly all are external USB/Thunderbolt devices. A few products still have a PCI Express component, like the Focusrite RedNet PCIeR and the Avid ProTools HDX.
Just because it's hopelessly on-brand for us to offer up a podcast episode for everything, you may also be interested in our Oxide and Friends episode on RFDs with our colleagues Robert Mustacchi, David Crespo, Ben Leonard, and Augustus Mayo.[0]
Bryan you absolute legend. You give the best technical seminars i've ever watched (& countlessly rewatched). Ty for inspiring a generation of engineers. Best of luck with everything at Oxide!
I love the idea. RFD 1 mentions taking inspiration from Golang and Rust proposal processes. The Haskell Foundation also uses the same proposal process, and I love it.
I'm a big proponent of the "writing is thinking" mantra. Unfortunately, in my experience, not all technical leaders value grassroots proposal processes like the Oxide RFDs
