In his case, I'm pretty sure 20 y/o data is pretty useless nowadays in terms of fingerprinting and usage heuristics.

Oh this is really cool, I did it and I landed on the font I've been using for years now: "Fira Code".

The quote of Bjarne is a bit out of context. It was made after an hour long talk about the pitfalls and problems of contracts in c++26: https://youtu.be/tzXu5KZGMJk This should also clarify the complexity issue.

The title is misleading. It says in one of the first sentences: > The comments within do not represent “the Rust project’s view” but rather the views of the individuals who made them. The Rust project does not, at present, have a coheren

100% agree. I am whitnessimg this on a daily basis working for a german company that develops both hard and software for indistrial machines.

Just FYI you can also run a windows docker natively in windows without using WSL or any linux component. But that's more of a niche usecase.

I very much agree with that, I had the same thought a few days ago. I feel/am way more productive using chatgpt codex and it especially helps me getting stuff done I didn't want to get started with before. But the amount of litera

Why should it be? All he is saying: We currently have products in a similar product category (arm based desktop computers) that are widely used and have known benchmark scores (and general reviews) and it would make sense if I publish a new

There can be quite a big difference on the reception of a product and the working conditions. I think that's nothing too out of the ordinary in a lot of cases.

He probably refers to the fact that Ghostty aims to use the native window decorations etc.. So for example on Ubuntu it uses gtk, on mac the native macOS tab bar etc. Same goes for the scrollbar and search window. I really like this a lot.

I disagree. You can't even create simple C++ inheritance examples because you don't have data inheritance. So basically classical OOP is out of the window. That's the biggest difference to C++ and most mainstream languages, y

This was and partly is the attitude you can find in german non-software businesses where software is gaining more and more influenxe. For example car manufacturing.

Im quite happy with my setup. I have the stock git server on a vm, gitweb to view things in the browser and gitolite for basic permission management. Very low tech, almost no maintenance necessary and I dont more for hosting personal projec

I had occasional problems with undo-tree (the tree broke occasionally), I've been using vundo for a while now and I'm a lot more happy with that.

It's obviously not as easy as you make it sound, it was reverted since it broke some existing apps.

I can see it being useful for stuff like renaming files, splitting hpp/cpp files, doing renaming etc.

I find this absolutely wild. From my experience Codex code quality is still not as good as a human so letting codex do smth and not verifying / cleaning up behind it will most likely result in lower code quality and possibly subtle bug

by ghosty141 8mo ago
What codex often does for this, write a small python script and execute that to bulk rename for example. I agree that there is use for fast "simpler" models, there are many tasks where the regular codex-5.3 is not necessary but I

The C abstract machine is exactly the important part. There is a difference between saying C is close to "the hardware" and C is close to the C abstract machine. The latter like you described has a few concepts that allow for abst

by ghosty141 8mo ago
Its not a meme. For example, C has pointer provenance, so pointers arent just addresses. Thats why type punning is such a mess. If a lang claims to be super close to the hardware this seems like a very weird thing.

This. I think software development is the best usecase for AI yet. I use it almost daily at work and it's a huge help. Enterprise customers will happily pay even 100$/mo subscriptions and it has a clear value proposition that can

I'm personally 100% convinced (assuming prices stay reasonable) that the Codex approach is here to stay. Having a human in the loop eliminates all the problems that LLMs have and continously reviewing small'ish chunks of code work

Yes they are, the fact that the agents have full access to your local project files makes a gigantic difference. They do *very* well at things like: "Explain what this class does" or "Find the biggest pain points of the proje

Not all good footballers are great managers but many great managers were good footballers. Playing in the first or second division is already good in my books.
