Yeah and if I was an enterprise I would definitely be self hosting with Forgejo or Gerrit or whatever. But I think for most hobbyists GitHub is still totally fine. I use it quite a lot and the first time I actually witnessed downtime myself

I don't think they're any more skilled at it than someone who knows how to reverse engineer stuff... But it is definitely a place where AI is amazing because reverse engineering is usually extremely time consuming and tedious. AI

Yes, because most of their subscribers are not using 1 billion tokens per day. And they are still in "profits don't matter" mode.

Frankly it's absurd that you don't get a null reference error in that case. I knew Github Actions was bad... I didn't know it was that bad. This is 90% Github's fault.

A billion tokens per day?? Plausible estimates put the energy use at about 0.001 Wh/token, which means you're using 1000 kWh/day in electricity, just to generate slop. That's about the same as 50-100 houses. 300kg of CO2

* Free private repos * Free CI, especially Mac & Windows. Find my a competitor that offers that. Until then I think their uptime is going to have to get a lot worse before the majority care.

I quite like the look of Typespec though I haven't used it much. I always thought Thrift was waaay better than any of the alternatives, but it always had terrible documentation and I think it died mainly because of that.

Yeah the complaints in the original article are valid, but it's like complaints about Android or iOS. There are plenty of valid complaints against either, but neither is strictly better than the other.

> That requires csr extension. Interrupts require the CSR extension. In practice all RISC-V CPUs support Zicsr.

But there's no way I would give up touchpad space to it.

TL;DR (or Too Slop; Didn't Read), if you left your computer unlocked at PayPal other employees would send emails from you to the whole company, like offering to buy everyone donuts.

Yes!! I love that you detailed AI usage in the readme. This should be 100% standard, even if you don't use AI at all, you need to say so these days. At the point where you add a license, add an AI usage section to your readme. This i

There's no restriction on manufacturing e-bikes anywhere that I know of, as long as they obey the speed/power limits. (That's why it says 500W "peak" power - the continuous power limit in the UK at least is 250W but

Slightly off topic but... > We even reinvented bus stops. Unless I am mistaken, buses do not descend in a lift and travel underground. It's pure fantasy of course, but no we didn't somehow forget buses exist and reinvent bus st

Luckily GitHub supports stacked PRs now! So they have to at least pass CI individually.

You're vastly underestimating the amount of work that has gone into RISC-V that would need to be redone. It's not just a spec. There's an absolute mountain of software and hardware supporting it.

It's not. In practice you have two scenarios: 1. You have a microcontroller. You're compiling code yourself and the docs tells you what features are available and which compiler flags to use. 2. You are writing application code. I

Likely impossible unless you somehow come up with something vastly better (unlikely). None of these things are remotely bad enough to make the downsides of using another ISA palatable.

They got bought by Meta who then fired half of them.

by IshKebab 2mo ago
I think a lot of this criticism is completely true. However it's also overblown. I do think the ISA matters, but little mistakes like these definitely don't matter enough to preclude making M-series class chips. The reason it hasn

No I mean that too. We aren't talking Tolkien. It's a technical blog post. It doesn't have to be a literary work of art. Anyone (well, anyone intelligent enough to debate the merits or Websockets) can write that.

It's not really because everyone learns at school. And in fact it only takes a few years (my kids are going through it now and I was surprised at how quickly they went from not being able to read at all, to having better handwriting th

Just charge it at night? I don't see why you need more than 2 days battery life.

I don't think that's a good analogy. Learning a "real" instrument is extremely difficult and takes thousands of hours. Writing your own blog post without AI takes like half an hour.

Just because a lot of cringe stuff happens there doesn't mean it is a useless platform. For me it's been the best way to get jobs - just by having a filled in profile and occasionally replying to recruiter spam when they have an i

Take people back to France? Feels pretty damn obvious to me. I believe they even agreed something like that fairly recently.

I've made these scratch holograms before with a compass. They're pretty fun, but very far from "real" holograms.

Sure but there's no real need for it in this case, or in the NHS in general I would say. It's probably just devolved because Scotland and Wales want everything to be devolved even if it makes no sense.
