Cloudflare has been trying to mediate publishers & AI companies. If publishers are behind Cloudflare and Cloudflare's bot detection stops scrapers at the request of publishers, the publishers can allow their data to be scraped (via

Sorry I don't understand. The result we all want is at compile-time ensuring some behavior cannot happen during runtime. OP argues we need for features built into the language, I am trying to understand what behavior we cannot achieve

Ah, the embedded application. Very valid point. I'm guilty of forgetting about that discipline. I do wonder if it is possible to bin certain features to certain, uh, distributions(?), of rust? I'm having trouble articulating what

I have no argument against using the right tool for a job. Decorating a function with a keyword to have more compile-time guarantees does sound great, but I bet it comes with strings attached that affect how it can be used which will lead t

I write production Rust code that becomes critical infra for our customers. I got tired of nil checks in Go and became a squeaky wheel in incident retros, where I finally got the chance to rewrite parts of our system in Rust during a refact

Do I understand correctly, that these companies applying for refunds, likely passed the costs onto consumers who paid a higher price for goods. Now the companies will claw back their refunds from the gov AND keep the markup they charged con

That checks out, I switched to protonmail in 2014 and haven't looked around since. Surprised they reversed on this, but glad that was addressed.

FWIW, I dont think I use any software (unless it is single, narrow purpose) that is almost 1.5 decades old. Fun fact, docker was released in 2013, so your IDE likely doesn't even support build targets in containers. But if you have the

I pay $179 per year for ALL their IDEs as an individual--$15 a month. Nothing compares to their C, Go, and rust IDEs. Chaining in rust make for very verbose statements, folding in jetbrains takes care of it. Took me an hour to get similar,

I love to use the terminal, and I still do. But as much as I love to unfu*k my local nvim setup, I much rather pay a company to do it for me. Set up vim bindings inside jetbrains and everything comes with batteries included, along with a ki

Just ask it what naturally draws your curiosity and use it to build your mental model. I may add that our company got us enterprise subscription (so models aren't trained on our IP) so I can just point it at the entire codebase, rather

I am quite skeptical and reserved when it comes to AI, particularly as it relates to impacts of the next generation of engineers. But using AI to learn a code base has been life-changing. Using a crutch to feel your way around. Then ditchin

I really admire the maintainers' discipline with respects to grooming quality edits and fostering a welcoming environment. Incredibly patient folks in the interactions I've had.

Anecdotally the arch wiki expands on the vauge man pages, often with examples for cases actually used by people. And they are much more easily accessible to modify and have instant gratification of publishing changes. Publishing to upstream

Right? Like what an incredibly naive thing to think, that BG is going to contain power consumption lmao. OpenAI is always going to run their hardware hot. If BG frees up compute, a new workload will just fill it. Sure you might argue "

As cool as the result is, this article is quite tone death to the fact that they asked a statistical model to "build" what was already in its training dataset... And not to mention with troves of forum data discussing bugs and bes

It is not my intention to offend anyone in particular, but that sell-off has really colored my perception that investors are such _sheep_ when it comes to AI. Serious FOMOs. Not a shred of independent, nuanced, or critical thinking; just bl

Can't have a global edge network without also being a big player - something Cloudflare is disliked for. You're suggesting everyone move to a new provider, so we can dislike the new vendor instead?

I apologize if I sound dismissive. Some things that can be produced by AI amaze me and I do see your point about being knowledgeable with your tools. My point is, in general, it seems lowering the barrier to entry has overwhelming produced
