I feel like somehow Jakub Pachocki’s request for an ascii art unicorn got rewritten into “ascii art of Wholesome Soyjak wearing a butterfly costume who uses Arch, by the way”

This is not just one bug, though; it’s a bug that takes money that ain’t theirs to take.

If you choose something self-hostable (whether hosted commercially for you or no is of no relevance), I'm very interested to hear about it.

On one hand, having a free for all is very good, especially for developers, and for programmability of our devices as such. Screw iPads. On the other hand, malware which coaxes normies into installing unverified apks, is an undeniable fact

But when you write code by hand, you at least are there as it’s happening, which makes reading and understanding way easier.

Catch-22 lives on. You are required to prove your citizenship to the government (by proxy of your bank or otherwise). The government lacks a unified document of identity which would by law act as a proof of citizenship, and reserves its rig

I fear that the real reason we do have a shortage, I mean, the real reason for the demand, is AI companies scooping what they can so that their competitors, whether existing or incumbent, can’t get to it.

You can still use as much memory, but fit more things into it, so I don’t think the current market hogs will let go easily.

A sane configuration, of course, would collapse the slashes first, so it would be /?w=a&x=c&y=d&z=. See, it’s because when we do these acrobatics with turning path elements into query parameters, we do it for humans, so the

So are a couple shells that use some kind of webkit tty. VS Code’s integrated terminal counts, I guess. It could be an interesting paradigm, though, to have a hybrid between fullscreen and traditional tty programs: you output some forms, th

One reason I still prefer iTerm2 or Ghostty over Terminal.app is that it has way saner settings for what the word boundaries are, and it lets me select whole paths by double clicking on them. If there was a way to change it for the default

Which is why I’m also wary of the ghostty’s integration that is supposed to inject its terminfo when you ssh in. How about bloody no and working with upstream ncurses to update the terminfo database?

It is probably “incorrect”, but given the established actual usage over the decades, it’s most likely what you need to do nevertheless. Not doing it is like punishing people for not using Oxford commas, or entering an hour long debate eac

These employees may be as well under NDA, or their access may be predicated on them not sharing actual data (like Oracle and benchmarks). Anyway, you can’t verify any claims yourself, thus it might as well not exist.

I applied for a visa and crossed borders enough times to remember this: visas can be refused and revoked for any reason at all. And a border guard is within rights to deny you entry for any reason whatsoever. Understanding these things made

LLMs love this style, but they love it because it's just about every single piece of advertisement writing for the last aeon or so, and it's a mighty chunk of their training corpora.

Should have stolen a broken piece of concrete off a street and repurpose it to be a laptop stand. At least that would be authentic, and contributing to urban decay at his location.
