But that doesn’t pin to a specific version?

Ok, but I guess a more concrete version of my question is the following: > How do I set up my development environment using devenv.sh to pin nodejs to 24.14.0? If I understand your response correctly, I can't do this in any very pra

I've never really understood how version pinning is meant to work with devenv.sh or Nix more generally. If I whack a .tool-versions file in my repo, everyone who works on it can use install the exact same versions of the relevant tools

Presumably the latter. However, mindlessly bumping package versions to fix bullshit security vulnerabilities is now industry standard practice. Once your client/company reaches a certain size, you will pretty much have to do it to sati

Mutating tree structures tends to be a fiddle (especially if you want parent pointers).

In fairness, it's not that easy to make a functioning Next.js page.

This is cool and I had a little play around with it. The basic concept is integrating an AI agent interface inside KiCad. I had some success with this prompt: > Please design a simple, low cost amplifier circuit for the TEMD6200FX01 phot

I think it goes without saying that things can change unexpectedly in the longer run, but this party simply isn’t a factor in national politics at present.

You can’t seriously be suggesting that a political party that most Brits haven’t even heard of has any chance of winning the next election.

by foldr 7mo ago
Even leaving aside the unsavory views of the party you mention, it’s quite misleading (to readers who don’t follow UK politics) to suggest that there’s any hope of it winning an election.

Ah, but if there’s no higher truth, then you also can’t say that it’s wrong to sabotage your employer because of an ethical disagreement (or rather, you can say it, but it’s just your personal opinion). By condemning this course of action,

If it's a personal project, I just get AI to do the boring bits and write the fun bits myself. I enjoy coding in general, but every project has its share of boring boilerplate code, or utility functions that you've already written

It reminds me a bit of the endless discussions among analog photographers regarding the different chemicals and methods that can be used for developing black and white film. Everyone is, of course, convinced that their particular developmen

The M2 MacBook Air base model has 8GB RAM and a single 256GB NAND chip. Nearly 4 years later, it doesn't seem to have caused any problems.

This is most likely for battery life. The Neo has a smaller and cheaper battery, so if you didn't limit the power somewhat you'd burn through it too fast.

by foldr 7mo ago
The A18's sustained single core performance is about the same as the M1's and the "burst" performance is quite a bit better. So I'd say it clearly has better single core performance overall.
320.
by foldr 7mo ago
That's a fair point above sustained multicore, but this is probably the right tradeoff for this class of device. Few people are regularly maxing out all of their cores for more than a few minutes at a time, and the people who are doing

> It’s far less capable of running intensive tasks than any of Apple’s M‑series chips or any moderately powered Intel or AMD processor.” This is false. The A18 Pro has much better single core performance than the M1 and slightly better m

There are lots of reviews on YouTube of people demoing the performance of the Neo in typical non-power-user usage scenarios (multiple apps, lots of browser tabs, etc.) It works perfectly fine for typical consumer usage.

Er, yes, obviously. The developer transition kit ran fine on an A12 in 2020.

This isn't the first time in history that companies have laid off software engineers. Late career software engineers are in a much better position economically than most people.

One-shotting 30k LOC is no use to me because none of my colleagues will review a PR that big. But more to the point, I wouldn't be able to review it either, and I think we're still at a point where you do want to look carefully at

I don't claim to have any special skill at AI, but as a 'senior' dev, my strategy is exactly the opposite. I try to be as lazy, dumb and concise as I can bring myself to be with my initial prompt, and then just add more detai

I mean there are already lots of MacBooks out there with 256GB storage. They haven’t become e-waste because of some mythical inability of users to manage storage (which they already do just fine on phones with even less space).

A laptop is e-waste because someone filled up the HD? Odd take.
