It might be that this is common with new tech, I'm too young to have grown up in the early concert scene. But with video games the curve was similar. People would show up just to see the tech and how much stuff people could put on the

To me it looks like the default cmd.exe font that was used up until win10.

Yes, inverting the caller/callee direction is one of the hardest control flow patterns to reason about.

Yeah, obviously you have multiple levels of public interfaces, like how CreateWindow calls CreateWindowEx under the hood. Do people recommend the API surface should be totally flat and the same for all developers?

What kind of experience you have is about what kinda of developer you are. If you're the kinda programmer who wants to use all the newest versions of stuff because you think it'll be better, then you'll be in an endless quagm

In cursor: You can copy/paste or drag code snippets the chat window and they automatically become context like. (@myFile.cpp:300-310) You can click any of the generated diffs in the assistant chat window to instantly jump to the code.

I've never heard about "Home Assistant Green". Seems like another step down the slippery slope of "work on my machine". First docker, than a dedicated OS, now dedicated hardware. I wonder why is Home Assistant so co

Because it's not at all obvious. The vast majority of people posting on Hacker News in 2026 probably had extreme exposure to the internet early in life and turned out alright. So they're probably not as concerned about children be

I did this too, I have pi that downloads and combined a bunch of rss feeds every 30min (cron) and downloads the vids, I browse them with Thunderbird on my desktop, I inject a special link to the mp4 on my pi. So I can just watch vids at 192

I've never even heard of C3, I use C++ and Jai. I've never used Zig either, I just disagree that requiring constant maintenance is a good.

This kind of thought is popular in the web world where browsers get an update every 3 days and you don't control the hosting services, so constant maintenance is unavoidable. But in the world of desktop development it's possible f

An interesting concept that stood out to me. Committing the prompts instead of the resulting code only. It it really true the LLM's are non-deterministic? I thought if you used the exact input and seed with the temperature set to 0 you

I think the point is that it's not enforceable.

Not much apparently, although I didn't know about changing symlinks, that could be very useful.

Hm, I know that Safari doesn't support 64bit wasm, which is a very important feature that Chrome and Firefox both have, but this seems to say they have "100% webassembly support". https://webassembly.org/featu

Everyone discusses better parenting all the time. But some people forget what it's like being a kid, circumventing blocking systems is trivial if you're motivated, and even if they weren't, a cheap phone costs $80 and kids ar

It's not that hard, maybe if you put up a sign with a slur a car won't drive that direction, if avoidable. In general, if you can sneak the appearance of a slur into any data the AI may have a much higher chance of rejecting it.

Bad by modern standards, there was a point in time where even just compositing two images on top of each other with an alpha cutout was considered a complex task.

You say it as a joke, but spell check has replaced certain tiers of editors. And Photoshop has replaced certain tiers of designers.

There are real downsides to even #including C++ headers. And there are certainly downsides to introducing a templated string type. It's not hard to imagine why people would want another solution.

Yeah, but do people like that? It feels pretty patronizing to me in a similar way. Like "Weee! So cute that our website is broken, good luck doing your job! <3" Reminds me of the old uwu error message meme.

Looks kinda like Rust? How similar is this to geometry shaders?

This has annoyed me a lot, crazy you can't rely on the print functions being the same on different platforms. This is why I always add stb_sprintf and make an allocSprintf() that allocates the right sized buffer first.
