This reminds me of the Servo project's journey. Always impressed to see another implementation of the WHATWG specs. It's interesting to see Zig being chosen here over Rust for a browser engine component. Rust has kind of become th

The key finding here is the reversal of the relationship between writing complexity and paper quality. Traditionally, sophisticated writing correlated with higher-quality research (or at least higher status/effort). This paper argues t

Right. In my previous work, I wrote a custom XML formatter for making it look table-like which was our use case. Of course, an ideal solution would have been to move away from XML, but can't run away from legacy.

I appreciate the polish for non-technical folks, but "clipboard formatter" feels like a feature, not a product. All of this can be done with AutoHotKey script for Windows and similar open-source tools for the other OS. And given h

This is pretty cool, but I hope it isn't used for human-readable config files. TOML/YAML are better options for that. Git diff also can be tricky with realignment, etc. I can see potential usefulness of this is in debug mode APIs,

Why is Bun marked as no on node_modules (I assume it means NodeJS compatibility)? I have large applications and never had NodeJS compatibility issues (it has worked even when Bun wasn't officially supported). For benchmarks, I'd t

The original source is from Reuters article [0]. It is profoundly ironic that Meta is apparently using cloaking techniques against regulators. Cloaking is a black-hat technique where you show one version of a landing page to the ad review b

Thanks for sharing insight. I also feel like a couple decades ago, technology was also reasonably simple and understandable. Right now, everything is obfuscated and complex. Maybe that's natural, but makes it harder to get excited abou

I'm 22 and since late college things don't excite me the way they used to, even when I enjoy them. I sometimes wonder if this is what happens when people get older and happened to me early, or if it's just a personality trait

I think the better argument is (of course, a wrong one), "I trust that big companies won't share my stuff publicly".

Thanks for sharing! I have been dreaming of writing (or better yet, finding!) a similar book for a couple years now. A hands-on guide that peels back the layers of abstraction to teach how things actually work under the hood by building the

Don't want to be "that guy," but Euler's constant and Catalan's constant aren't proven to be transcendental yet. For context, a number is transcendental if it's not the root of any non-zero polynomial with

I like that this relies on generating SQL rather than just being a black-box chat bot. It feels like the right way to use LLMs for research: as a translator from natural language to a rigid query language, rather than as the database itself
