Not sure why you are downvoted this is entirely correct

Wow so “Linux didn’t get it for 25 years because the glibc maintainer is a jerk” is an oversimplification??? Shocking.

Over simplify much?

The fact that they have released both features within 3 months of each other is mind boggling. Their development velocity is insane. These are not trivial features. Give them some time to polish, jeez.

Zed is written in Rust by a bunch of Rust lovers so it's really got first class support for it.

And none of those 20 C++ developers can learn rust? What’s wrong with them?

Those are all still text.

I’ve heard this many times before but I’ve never heard an argument that rebukes the plain fact that text is extremely expressive, and basically anything else we try to replace it with less so. And it happens that making a von Neumann machin

I felt the same thing about the onboarding. Like what future are we trying to build for ourselves here, exactly? The kind where instead of sitting down with a coworker to learn about a codebase, instead we get an ai generated PowerPoint to

Now make it match push-ups so we can have true proof-of-work captchas.

Blows my mind how slow OSX still is, there is perceptible lag in almost every interaction during the gif in the blog post. Opening the "properties" dialog looks like it takes > 1 second. It's 2025, we have amazing processo

The fact that this article doesn’t include any images of chickens wearing said goggles is an injustice.

Nice insight, thank you.

I agree with most of your argument but I do think security is somewhat special. You can vibe code an entire mess and it'll still "work". We've seen this already. As good as LLMs are they still write overly verbose, slopp

It’s not about being American, it’s that having a brain so cooked as to believe in total conspiracy theories AND being a HN regular/developer used to be mutually exclusive.

How do these people even find HN.

Apple sees some nice code under a pushover license and they just can’t help themselves.

by WD-42 1y ago
Should be easy enough, look for the one with upstream contributions from Apple. Oh, wait.

The OS is called Redox.

I thought it worked in the original trilogy because it was much more subtle, but still powerful. You watch Luke struggle to harness it over the span of 3 movies. In the recent Disney movies (Andor being the exception) it’s like they gave ev

Fantastic. The Unix hackers are alive and well. Keep it real.

Secure, sure. But this sounds like a crappy job.

I'm not sure I'd install tailscale as a flatpak even if it were possible. I've always seen flatpak as a way to install large, potentially crappy desktop applications without polluting your system. OBS studio is a perfect exam

by WD-42 1y ago
I feel the same. Like a few years ago Fedora + GNOME + Flatpak was the magic sauce. Not so much anymore. I’m back to Arch as well, which seems as if its package repositories have only grown. The AUR is there but I’m shocked how little I nee

Enjoy! Keep an open mind and you'll discover computing can still be very fun!

Yes and they are great. But you have to already know they exist and seek them out.

Does it really matter? They'll assault users with "Enable recall to access this feature, yada yada" and 99% of people will just do it. Just like every other spyware feature they provide.
