> If people find a life partner they drop off the site, and you constantly have to find new users to replace them ... As a result, some of the less-scrupulous sites purposely make it less likely that you will see people who seem like great matches

I've often heard this sentiment, but I'm very skeptical. Firstly, most users in my experience seem to prefer casual relationships even if that's not what their profile indicates. Dating apps are also one of the highest vectors for cheating today, and one man even confessed to me on our second date that he has a wife in Rajasthan.

But I think the fact that the major apps' user bases all grow over time indicates they have a naturally healthy replacement rate. People turn 18 every day and desire a partner. People break up every day, etc.

there's less breakups than people entering the market and most normal people don't wanna scoop them up the second they graduate -- at least not if you're gunning for marriage

Is Jeevansathi really that different mechanically from a casual dating service? I don't think it has a literal swiping motion (many dating apps don't either) but I've heard complaints that modern matrimony apps are even too similar to dating apps before.

There exist hundreds of fly by night matchmaking apps, but most people can only name about half a dozen off hand.

There's a hack: if the platform appeals to some of the most sought-after women, it can win, since the most sought-after men will follow, and the marjority women/men will follow chasing the first two groups. (same dynamic is used to fill empty nightclubs).

Bumble did this to Tinder. Coffee Meets Bagel is currently trying to do it to Bumble.

I don't remember a map from the movie so I didn't know what to expect. Instantly I love this. I actually wish I could have this rather than street view in Google Maps.

In the category of AI/HPC software Mojo aims to displace (which is my industry), I don't know many people who care that much about running Windows. The software I work on may only run as a Docker image or directly in a Linux/WSL. Mojo is hardly the only tool in the space (currently) lacking Windows support.

Senior is the last word in use to describe myself as a developer, personally, and I think it's hard to overstate the current economical significance of this software niche. Granted that it IS a niche and nobody would recommend Mojo for, say, kernels in video games or art editors.

You can implement it with templates and people do things like this often. In modern C++, it's even pretty easy to make this type of trick support `constexpr`.

Do it manually and hacky, yes.

At that point though, one could claim that they can do it in C as well and implement half of Objective-C

Except that to keep objc_msgSend performance good enough with Objective-C dispatch semantics, a little bit of pure Assembly code help is required.

well, I wasn't implying full semantics. Or fast, to be honest. Still could be faster than vtable though...

Sure enough.

Going back to the technical implementation part, depending on the C++ version, and being able to understand the target at compile time, no need to do it manually and hacky.

There is enough support in constexpr, consteval, concepts, and now compile time reflection, to do it automatically, assuming the dispatch target can be resolved at compile time.

I thought it was a semi-transparent window until I read this. The curvature makes that clear, wow!

There is no curvature in the screenshot, only a semitransparent background

it is a actually a screenshot, that's zorin's window transparency doing that

It's not true that Nvidia doesn't care about CUDA backwards compatibility. The invention of TileIR was motivated entirely by that problem. GPU architectures are supported by the full tool suites for at least 10 years by CUDA (that's longer than they are for graphics).

Nvidia is also a major contributor to MLIR, which they use for TileIR and ClangIR, so should a compatibility break occur it wouldn't be entirely up to Mojo to fix it.

None of these things are true except the ClangIR thing

I don't think someone mentioned yet, but the (now defunct?) company Outrun Labs built a product Revery which seems almost exactly like what Jane Street has done (to my amateur eyes). OniVim was their only end user product afaik, built on this tech.

I was able to upload hacky unpolished amateur game demos long before LLMs existed.

Sure, but it’s easier to slander someone with unfalsifiable accusations of “vibecoding” than to engage with their work on any substantial level.
