Then it's probably small enough - where you don't need a help of AI, and should do it yourself. My position is that AI could be useful to find the potential places for these changes, but it should be someone who's capable of

You can't. You must prove it. And I don't mean that you need a rigorous scientific proof - that would obviously be too hard to do for every single function/library/program. Human developer can work on a program increment

It's very depressing seeing a badge "made by a human" slapped on what is obviously AI-generated text.

I would've got one if it wasn't so pricey for these specs. You can get a cheap Anbernic for 40-60$ running linux, with decent ARM CPU and a good backlighted screen.

My TV does have an audio jack. It's a cheap dumb TV. And almost all of my electronic devices have a 3.5 mm jack. You won't find it in top flagship models, but plenty of budget devices still have it.

The spirit of Pascal lives on in Nim. It's arguably the closest modern language (with a sizeable community) to the Wirthian languages.

That's actually a great argument for Nim[0]. Easy interop with C, native-speed performance, and a syntax very close to Python in both readability and how quickly you can get something working. Batteries included, automatic memory manag

Is this really a hard problem? Rendering some text with coloring? I believe we're just making everything harder than it needs by constraining it to a browser interface. This would be trivial as a terminal application written in native

That did not help. Seems like slightly different UI and written in Rust are two main "features" over tmux.

Handwriting or using a typewriter is great if you're writing something solely for enjoyment of the process. But if you want to store, organize and use any of your writing in the future - you have to go digital.

Program testing can be used to show the presence of bugs, but never to show their absence! Dijkstra (1970) "Notes On Structured Programming" LLM generated code is garbage, not because it writes obvious errors. But because it lacks

You can and should and I do glance at a diff of changes every time you update a vim plugin. To make this feasible - I only use a handful of plugins I *really need*.
