A few days ago I got the nature scapes but with a, "This would make an awesome prompt huh?" as the tagline and a link to more AI shoe-horned in.

Bizarre that the US legislature is going to bat for the right of a corporation to sell illegal content in a foreign country. The UK should call their bluff on this one, appeasement isn't going to work forever.

If you're arguing down that route, LLMs can bulk-apply style attributes exactly where they're needed. Every element precisely described, no need for CSS and style-sheets at all.

I'm not sure what you mean by "Technically feasible", but it wasn't supported by explorer. You could have multiple windows, and you could have MDI windows, but you couldn't have shared task bar icons that expand on

The only one I can think of, literally the only one, is grouped icons. And even that's only because browsers ended up in a weird "windows but tabs but actually tabs are windows" state. So yeah, I'd miss the UX of draggin

Ironically that might have passed, because this didn't break the version, this broke all versions when the global referenced changelog was published. It wasn't the new version itself that was broken. But testing new version woul

I've been finding the reams of markdown that claude generates too difficult to read comfortably, so I switched to asking it to generate PDFs with typst instead. Without even writing a "skill", it nails the execution, and then

Here's an example: We have some tests in "GIVEN WHEN THEN" style, and others in other styles. Opus will try to match each style of testing by the project it is in by reading adjacent tests.

I'd completely forgotten about that! They Hunger was a masterpiece. Not one I'd ever want to re-visit though, because nostalgia is best left not closely examined. But a golden age, of txt file walkthroughs downloaded from gamefaqs

I'm gutted PlanetHalfLife isn't listed/shown here, I used to visit that site religiously around then.

Do you have a legacy code-base in mind? I'd happily demonstrate this kind of workflow on my day job if not for company trade-secrets. That's as legacy as it gets, 20+ year old code base with several "strata" of different

That isn't that far removed from convincing people to hit F12 and enter that code in the console, which is why Self-XSS, while ideally prevented, is much lower than any kind of stored/reflected XSS.

I've edited my comment to add more context to that quote. He absolutely advocated for the most minimal of function lengths, beyond what is reasonable.

This is from page 37 of Clean Code: > Even a switch statement with only two cases is larger than I'd like a single block or function to be. His advice that follows, to leverage polymorphism to avoid switch statements isn&#x27

I wouldn't take the examples from Bob Martin as gospel, see also: "Don't refactor like Uncle Bob": https://theaxolot.wordpress.com/2024/05/08/dont-refactor-lik...

That is a specific question. Any more specific and I suspect it would have been closed as too specific to their environment / setup instead.

It's surely both. Look at the newest questions: https://stackoverflow.com/questions?tab=Newest Most questions have negative karma. Even if somehow that is "deserved", that's not a healthy ecosystem. All

I didn't even make the top 5,000. I really ought to write more blog posts. Actually I wonder if the dreaded profanity filter has caught me out again. I've had a couple of posts do well, and it's a .github.io subdomain, so it

Oh I agree, literally `assert(false, "This cannot happen")` is useless, but ensuring message is always there encourages something more like, `assert(false, "This implies the Foo is Barred, but we have the Qux to make sure it

Better yet, `assert(false, message)`, with the message what you would have written in the comment.

There's a design in the .NET ConcurrentDictionary that is even more inviting: GetOrAdd(TKey, Func<Tkey,TValue> ) This lets you specify a key, and a method to run to generate a value to store if the key does not exist. This

This isn't necessary. Claude will read CLAUDE.md from both: 1. Current directory ./CLAUDE.md 2. User directory ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md I stick general preferences in what it calls "user memory" and stick p

I had the opposite takeaway. Companies with strong financial performance don't tend to use words like "encouraging". That is the language you get from companies that are in trouble and hoping for recovery. Talking about peopl

Can we reproduce your results for Mandelbrot?

What's going on with the Mandelbrot result in that post? I don't beleive such a large regression from .NET framework to CoreCLR.

It does matter, because the phyiscal keys themselves are literally in different places. Comparison: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wt1DL1fO6Zs Note that weird abomination of a backslash key around the enter key on the US k
