That's a very uncharitable take on what I said. A comment that I've written semi-sarcastically as a reply to someone accusing me of supporting slavery. Now, I'm fully aware that it's just one guy. But technically, under

The current economic system is based on people working in exchange for payment. They can then use it on their own life, including living space, food, health and entertainment. Those who do not work do not get such "luxuries." I&#x

I wish I could share your optimism.

Only insofar as you were able to keep a job. If you lose your job to automation, and there are no more jobs left, what do you do? Where do you get the money to keep your standard of living?

So it can both outprice people as well as take their jobs? Well, leeway away.

Just as the author is free to chose their own forge, Codeberg is free to set their own rules. It's not like Codeberg is a monopoly for hosting FOSS. People who buy (and pay extra) for hand crafted items do not do this for slave labor,

A really dumb 1 AM question. If there is a lot of work thrown away because stuff is compiled even if not needed, would making every function generic and delaying compilation until instantiation help here? Note that it's not a serious s

It's funny, but a large reason for why Go was chosen was explicitly because it has semantics close to TypeScript and that made it automatable: https://github.com/microsoft/typescript-go/discussions/411#d.

I wonder what the click through rate is for the source links. Based on what I've been hearing, it's very low. And that's if the particular LLM/interface/answer even bothers to add them. If the bots are eating your s

I'm sorry, but just mentioning TIOBE has killed any credibility you might have had. I mean, seriously, look at the list. JavaScript at #6, when it should be at #1? Trailed by Visual Basic at #7? SQL (not a programming language) at #8 a

Is it a CVE that an app running on my PC could actually be running under GDB? It's the entire purpose of these tools.

Is there anything suggesting that Bun even attempted to submit their Zig patches? As far as I know, they were stuck 2 versions behind. With the amount of changes and Zig already working on incremental I'm not sure what the point would

Well, we've been saying this about infinite monkeys too.

This is probably going to sound elitist, but it is how I've been seeing this whole LLM thing play out. I don't necessarily believe in 10x devs, but there is a very clear output difference between various developers. During my care

This is such a sad worldview. Life without any challenges. Every problem immediately solved without learning anything.

I'm sure that if I go to a court after a hit and run, the judge will accept me saying "There was lots of paying attention, just not where he came from. You might not understand how many petabytes of data these eyes are processing

And how is that not incompetence? They've set up an autonomous system with apparently zero monitoring and let it run wild. Yolo?

I had the same issue. Linux + Firefox resulted in zero movement. Chrome worked fine.

Did OpenAI not communicate with Hugging Face? The incompetence here is staggering.

Well, hacking is a crime, so surely someone will go to jail for this, right?

by dminik 3mo ago
You can't say that. It would be a "slippery slope fallacy" or something. You're just supposed to wait until it's too late.

I'm having a hard time squaring together two of the claims Andrew makes here: - No source changes - https://codeberg.org/ziglang/zig/issues/36237#issuecomment-1... - No escape hatches - main post Surely

"golang" is literally "Go language". Doesn't matter that it's one word.

> Did you have a $3000 phone? Funnily enough, no. When I read that comment, I didn't even know that phones can go for such a price. But, apparently some triple folding phones do. I read that as a "buy a budget phone and use it

This might come as a bit of a shock to you, but not everywhere has terrible customer protection. I was less interested in the (free) 2 year warranty than the 14 day free return mandated by the EU. I wasn't really risking being denied,

Thanks for calling me an idiot I guess ... I mean, I don't particularly understand how "caring about warranty" goes against what you've written after that. Replacing something for free is surely better than doing so for

I work both on a pretty much bog-standard web (GraphQL) backend and the frontend that uses it. We switched over from Apollo on node to async-graphql on Rust. The runtime performance is much better, but the compiler time performance is terri

Bit hard to do with a phone I no longer have in my hand. Additionally, I wasn't sure if that would void my warranty. It did cross my mind, and I did buy it for the possibility to do that in the future if necessary, but I just wasn&#x27

I have had a mixed experience. Bought my Mom a Pixel 9a. It seems to be running fine with no issues. Bought a Pixel 10 Pro XL for myself and had to return it. Connectivity issues (WiFi connected, but no internet), screen losing colors (whit
