Depends on the application. I would love to have that percentage next to HN submissions so I don't waste time reading (or starting to read) obvious slop. Doesn't really matter if I occasionally skip something that isn't act

Yes I remember even at the time people were laughing about the hilarious requirement for everyone to have a seed ratio greater than 1. Those sites were basically unusable for people who came to them later.

Hasn't been an issue at all for me, but in any case that's a separate issue. They removed compatibility with CMake earlier than 3.5, which is 10 years old at this point. Support length is orthogonal to default behaviour evolution

Yeah but this guy did it carefully. That one looks like he took a powerfile to it.

I think CMake actually has the best default evolution system out there (a bit surprising give how awful the actual language is). Each "policy" they change can be manually set to old or new, and there's a global config to set

SQLite isn't typically a global one-per-system database, and even if it was how would that solve this problem? The problem isn't that you can't set all these settings to the right values - it's that they don't have

There are various emulators available that support RVV but they aren't going to be especially useful for benchmarking/profiling. So you can write code that works, but it's probably a few more years still until high performanc

69,000 sounds like a lot, but it's still missing maybe 30% of the packages I want to install.

Yeah I forgot about that actually. It's TileLink-UltraLight, a SoC bus (basically an open version of AXI). It's probably an acceptable acronym in this context because it's used all over the chip. But also I dunno if it adds m

Rewrite it in Rust isn't zealotry with no consideration of the trade-offs. It's simply that Rust is so much better than C that it's pretty much a no-brainer to rewrite C in Rust, or at least to attempt it. Sorry you can'

That's not quite true. I had a look into the Bun port and it's not like c2rust where it literally will convert every pointer access into `unsafe` and 50% of your code will be `unsafe`. It's a lot safer than that. They claim o

He's obviously wrong for saying "If you use AI to generate code you're wasting your time" - that's empirically wrong. As you say, anyone who has used recent models knows you can absolutely save time with them (hell

It's pretty much the standard target for slop now, so now "in Rust" kind of implies "I just pointed Claude at it and have no idea if the result is any good, also it's an abandoned project." Tbh I think Rust is

It's ok to abbreviate things that are a) standardised, and b) used extremely frequently. Keywords are the best case here. Standard library functions are often ok (e.g. I wouldn't say renaming `memcpy` to `memory_copy` gains you mu

Rust is not a very verbose language. I translated (without AI) a medium sized program I'd written from Python to Rust and it was 10% longer. Hardly worth mentioning.

There's no reason CPUs can't do prediction and speculative execution on conditional moves just like they do with conditional branches. But with conditional moves the cost of a misprediction is going to be much lower because you do

Wow that is quite surprising. Almost seems like it could be a compiler bug tbh. Very fragile optimisation if not!
