Is there evidence serious vulnerabilities are the result of vibe coding already? I haven’t seen any so if you have some references, please share.

Touché! Freeing oneself from America is nearly impossible. Unless you’re China, probably.

Lovely how China is now beating the Americans in their own game. And the reaction is predictable: accuse the Chinese of being a threat to National Security and stop them from taking over the American market after they have already taken mos

Would be amazing for me to use Swish to pay for things in Brazil as if I had Pix! Could that work somehow?

If you miss the old days, try the bus from Vilnius to Minsk. It’s a full on border control just like in the times of the Soviet Union. Only 35 km away from an European Union capital city.

I think the comment was still correct. Very little will change in Hungary with the new government. I think it’s only a matter of time for them to pick a fight with the EU on some different matter given how the EU’s values (considering most

Yes, it only works in a high trust society where there’s plenty of jobs and people actually care about doing a good job (any company will have incentives, people can’t just sit around and do nothing, lots of social pressure too if you’re a

I am part of Management in my company. We explicitly maintain a list of key people in the company we don’t want to lose. The truth is that just a few people are what makes a company. Lose them and you are in trouble. Some companies don’t se

Yes, and that makes working for a Swedish company so much better. You know you can’t just be shown the door at any moment after years of service and you get a lot of peace of mind which is worth more than the inflated salaries in the US. Th

Username and password as the only option to authenticate is really getting obsolete. You need to support social login, passkey, email links, maybe SMS or some other less secure methods depending on your target market… and more often also ne

Sorry but that’s a childish take.

The logging implementation should be an application level decision. By using a facade like slf4j a library allows an application using any logging implementation to use it. That’s why libraries should use it.
313.
by brabel 5mo ago
As you mentioned Java, it’s interesting to notice that it has had similar problems throughout its history: logging (now it’s settled on slf4j but you still find libraries using something else), commons (first Apache Commons, now Guava), JSO

It works differently and in a much more limited manner. Can you select text in the middle of a prompt and delete it? Can you paste anywhere? How do you enter multiline input?? That cannot work unless explicitly handled by the app, terminals

A programming language is allowed to be ambiguous, I don’t know of a definition that excludes that!

They are programmers when they write a prompt and get runnable code as a result, yes… but no if asking a human to write the code because if you have an intermediate, manual step between the text and the running code, you don’t have an autom

You are right but recently, vibe coding has become a demeaning term for AI assisted code by anti-AI people. It’s interesting seeing how words evolve very quickly on the internet as they spread to different demographics.

> move fast and break things and move at a pace that guarantees everything is rock solid. Zig is famous for taking the former path! Anyone using Zig for a few years knows every release breaks things, and they are still making huge change

That’s funny because it’s exactly, literally the same. The difference is it’s not deterministic. That may be a problem but it’s still a higher level language, just a much higher level language than anything before.

IIRC RSS 2.0 included most of what Atom has, no?

I use the Code tab in the Claude Desktop App and find that a superior experience since everything you expect from a desktop app works: copy/paste, undo/redo, automatic formatting of text as you type it, multiline input etc which j

You are talking about bad programmers who are at least able to fool their managers for at least several years. The people OP is talking about could not even do that and most likely would have dropped out in the first week trying to program

I used this in the past: https://ssw.jku.at/dcevm/ Though nowadays the IntelliJ debugger with the OpenJDK is enough for me. I know what works and what doesn’t so I rarely feel frustrated.

Yes but I don’t know how someone familiar with a Jetbrains IDE can claim that only Lisp has that feature. I love Common Lisp and SLIME, but most of what it can do, I can also do in Java with the IDE. Change a method definition while it’s ru

The other motivation for me is to drastically reduce boilerplate code. I can’t believe people here are saying they never use macros, they are so good for this that avoiding them sounds to me like a skill issue! Overuse can damage readabilit
