Rely on it? Not that I can remember. However, Rust makes use of it for fast safety checks. Because rust strings must be valid utf8, if you want to take a substring at some range, eg "Hello, World!"[7..12] then it's very simpl

This is what I use to log into our remote desktop software at work. The passkey is on my phone and I scan a QR code presented by the remote desktop software (in this case it's the Windows App on my macbook and Microsoft Authenticator o

The password integration breaks because it's trying to detect password fields rather and failing because of weird HTML/JS code. The passkey integration goes the other way, which is much more reliable.

That's literally not what happened.

Yes, these are the only two options. That is definitely true. It's of course impossible to have any nuance or middle ground here where you use LLMs to assist while you still focus on the engineering design decisions and the quality.

Likewise, I've found many bugs using LLMs in the small software libraries I hand wrote and considered complete and correct - even though it was my sole focus at the time and I thought I had perfected it

For personal use, Luna-xhigh on the Plus subscription. I only ever hit my limits if I decide to use Sol or Astra for a bit more quality. For work, given we pay API pricing anyway, I've been happy experimenting with K3-medium as my defa

The slop is what upsets me the most right now. Some people feel the need to attach an image to almost everything the post - even in chat rooms (including slack at work). These images serve no purpose, but the poster feels it is useful - tho

Nowadays it's the anonymous accounts that are generally most likely real, and the "real name" accounts with a human profile picture are most likely mass generated. You just use a name generator and pull profile pictures from

I think a key difference is that most programming careers, the artistic outlet (code) is not what is being sold to customers. The customer might feel something if the app works fast, but they won't feel anything about the fun bit packi

I think about removing please/thanks, but then I accidentally add them back in during some edit/rewrite of the prompt... It's just how I'm used to asking for things

Hopefully it crashes if corrupt... But it could instead jump straight to some code designed to clean up files and delete your database

No. atproto (which is what bluesky is based on) supports all kinds of public media - for instance https://standard.site/ which is designed for longer form static content. You can choose where your PDS runs and the ecosystem

In our London apartment leasehold, we have a water-sourced air conditioning unit. No external condenser required, it instead dumps the heat into the waste water. It has been incredibly helpful during this heat wave as someone who really str

As someone using bazel at work, the find script was much more amenable to me trying to audit our usage - we don't use cargo, so no cargo cache or cargo audit, but I can still figure out whether a particular package was downloaded.

What I've observed is that by prompting for longer I get to keep my brain focused on the architectural ideas (networking, protocols, data structures, etc) rather than worrying about the most performant/elegant implementations. I a

Spindles (CI) can use configurable engines, which includes nixery or microvm (which is similar to github actions). You're not forced into nixos I don't understand how it forces you to engage with Rust. It happens to be written in

pgbouncer runs as a single threaded service, so it ends up getting bottlenecked by some heavy clients on typical server CPUs with low clock speeds. Sharding/peering pgbouncer works, but it's not perfect. More significantly for us

I think it's a matter of perspective. It's Russia's war. The Russian people didn't want this, but they have to live with their leader's decisions. For the Ukrainians, the alternative is surrendering to Putin.

I imagine they want the people of Russia to feel the economic pain of the war, and vote/protest accordingly.

(I work on the postgres proxy layer at Neon) PgBouncer is entirely optional and it's not always the right choice. If you have a classical app (non serverless) and you can maintain a connection pool from your app, then I recommend avoid

While I agree that CPU limits tend to make your performance worse, I don't think the delivery of the post is all too convincing (and is pretty heavy on the LLM-isms that it's putting me off from reading). It mentions that a cpu re
