When IDEs entered the market, they were the talk of the town. Improve your programming speed. Blazingly fast refactoring. A graphical debugger and logging information. Intellisense, inline documentation and the whole nine yards. Many develo

Wow, so to prevent AI scrapers from harvesting my data I need to send all of my traffic through a third party company that gets to decide who gets to view my content. Great idea!

I never understood move semantics until I learned Rust. Everything is move by default and the compiler makes sure you never leave things in an unusable state. This was a difficult mental hurdle to get over with Rust, but once you do, move s

“Chill” and “grow“ don’t often go together. You get complacent and fall into routine. You grow when you’re pushed and do uncomfortable things.

This was the first thing I remembered about Amjad. I have never thought highly of him since.

It's on Github, I'm not surprised. I'd be surprised if you got a TokTok response on sourcehut.

Ever feel like creating and nurturing an opensource project? Some of those responses make me second guess doing anything with opensource.

Skid marks… not quite the skid marks I was thinking. Sorta fitting for a vibe coded app to be called skid mark though.

So it's.. fitting, how meta.

I'm going back to the basics. Going to use C, C++ and Rust for all of my development projects, tools, services, etc. I'm not going to use LLMs or even LSPs. Read documentation. Understand the tools and languages. Build solid softw

It's a bit ironic the page is protected by Cloudflare. So, all of our traffic is going through some other company to log and track before it gets to you, eh?

I literally installed librewolf for the first time on my fresh Debian install. Couldn’t have had better timing!

The problem is in the unknowns. The "unknowns" in a C implementation means arbitrary code execution and all kinds of nasty. The unknowns in a Rust implementation means a crash/denial of service. I know which I prefer.

As if Microsoft/GitHub (closed source platform) care about open source or free software…

Perhaps I misremembered or things changed? For instance, the os/user results in a dynamicly linked executable: https://play.golang.com/p/7QsmcjJI4H5 There are multiple standard library functions that do it.. I rec

Once you use CGO, portability is gone. Your binary is no longer staticly compiled. This can happen subtley without you knowing it. If you use a function in the standard library that happens to call into a CGO function, you are no longer sta

I remember when my greatest fear was sql injection. It’s great to see we have become more secure with our technology.

I always used flash messages instead of toasts. I'm not sure if flash is the right term-- it's the inline message next to or above the form/element that changed or was submitted. I thought flashes were easier to see (not only

Luke Smith had a good video that pretty much summarized what happens with projects such as Bitcoin that have noble goals to begin with; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0-lS8Y79L7g

I don't think money is a good proxy for idea quality. AI? Blockchain? Crime in general? Plenty of bad ideas make a whole lot of money.

Not sure if it's related-- but anyone else get a buzz or pop in their headphone/spear when loading certain web pages? I've been curious if this is some form of browser fingerprinting or just crappy speakers.

It's almost like trying to magically wire up your frontend to the backend through magical functions is a bad idea.

I think you're on the right track-- it's alright to want to create and for your creations to be enjoyed by others (why else would one create?). Personally, I create and share via my own domain. I take full ownership of what I shar
