It was shocking to me to see how huge onions are in Vancouver, and I guess the same applies to the US… those things can’t be natural!! In Europe they are half the size.

Hawaii natives are Polynesians! They came the same way New Zealanders did by island hopping in the Pacific. We can only imagine but I guess most of those who tried it died in the middle of nowhere, only a few must have made it, but that’s e

Don’t they buy cottages anymore? In Sweden that is still extremely popular. Almost everyone who can afford one owns one, to my foreign eyes amusement as to me that’s just finding something to work on every summer. There’s a satirical refere

Agree, it's funny to see how that seems to be developing organically!

I really like D and want to use D instead of Zig if I can... But it's difficult to do so! Nothing to do with marketing in my case, at least. The reasons are : * `dub` is badly documented and does dumb things like including test code in

I did. Though a few years earlier I had attended a class where Pascal was used (however, it was not the main topic, it was about robotics). C++ was what I learned first in a "real" computer science class. In later years, we did mo

We use the Spock Framework for testing. It's the best testing framework in the JVM, no joke.

You should consider reading the article.

Haha completely agree, it is the "scripting language" made in the image of Java! It's a great language by the way!

As Bun uses Zig quite a lot, I expect them to be quite active in the Zig forums and submitting patches and feature requests. I was thinking of things like AI-generated patches submitted by Bun to the Zig project, or feature requests by Bun

There have been at least 3 waves of AI before the LLM generation. 70s , 80s and late 90s. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AI_winter Early 2010s had a lot of neural networks AI stuff going on and it certainly became a min

In other news today, Bun, which is one of the biggest projects written in Zig, joined Anthropic, the company behind Claude Code, and has nothing but kind words to say about AI. If Zig becomes ever more hostile to AI, I wonder if there may b

Isn’t Anthropic itself also burning investors money? I thought no AI company is making any profit.

Mandatory comment about ASN.1, a protocol from 1984, already did what Protobuf does, with more flexibility. Yes, it's a bit ugly but if you stick to the DER encoding it's really not worse than Protbuf at all. Check out the Wikiped

Qwen Image and Image Edit were among the best image models until Nano Banana Pro came along. I have tried some open image models and can confirm , the Chinese models are easily the best or very close to the best, but right now the Google mo

You should use your IDE to do all of those things. Much better that way.

I think generous free tiers are also soon coming to an end.

Wait is whitewashing now synonymous with “washing something bad to make it look good”?? Seems pretty racist to me to use it that way.

I consider myself a hacker as I spend many evenings and weekends writing code for no commercial purpose but to create cool stuff and sometimes even useful stuff all in the open. I have no idea why I should be against using LLM. Just like I

At the time, that sort of behavior was expected in almost anything you downloaded, it really was perhaps even more invasive than today. Java was infamous for installing a search bar on your browser and making it hard to not “accept” it.

Real identity is impossible to establish beyond any doubt, and a certificate is no better than a key on a website, in fact it's essentially the exact same thing.

My point was that if you’re going to allocate anyway what was the point of allocating the original on the stack? You wouldn’t need the duplicate if you malloc that.

Imagine an airplane crashed in these 2 months. I bet you would join the chorus and blame them for gross negligence.

by brabel 11mo ago
Bullshit. The public key can be obtained by several easy means, like visiting the publisher website or social network site like GitHub which is common. That verifies the identity just as well as any certificate! But with much less trouble.

Not a C expert but you’re using a dynamic array right on the stack, and then returning the duplicate of that. Shouldn’t that be Malloc’ed instead?? Is it safe to return the duplicate of a stack allocated array, wouldn’t the copy be heap all

You don’t need certificates , just use PGP keys like Maven.
