I'm not the one here making assertions, I'm asking questions of the person making claims. I'll leave it to others to judge what is 'a lot' or 'reasonable'. I don't think 'anyone who thinks X is Y

From the article: > Approximately 80% of the water (typically freshwater) withdrawn by data centers evaporates, with the remaining water discharged to municipal wastewater facilities.

I would guess that a dislike for reduce overlaps with a preference with imperative languages. Filter and map are easy because you can make more assertions about them without inspection: - they take a list-like as input - they take a functio

I'd have to be pretty sure I could use the hardware forever without a login for me to let it near my systems. Anything with firmware or a security footprint would not qualify. I might accept a Meta paperclip into my house, but then aga

Definitely interesting work, but Meta will get nothing from me, as far as I can help it. No level of convenience will tip that scale.

This point of view is twisted and disturbing. I'm sorry for those who don't have people in their lives, but machines aren't a substitute, and that lack shouldn't be used to justify a right to unbounded freedom to experim

I buy Apple products because the holistic product is the best. I say this begrudgingly, because I do not like MacOS from the user interface side. If I could run linux on Apple hardware and get the same power-sipping performance, that's

I love TUIs. I move much faster when I don't have to take my hands off the keys to nudge the rat. However, I don't think my preference for TUIs is about my efficiency. The most important reason I love TUIs is that they generally

Your comment reinforces some of what the author is saying. His criticism wasn't for or against TigerBeetle, it was against the religious 'mode of persuasion'. `The faith isn’t needed. We need to let the work stand on its meri

Do you mean adding ethernet hardware and a web server to the mouse? Seems like that would add significant cost for something that can be done well without it.

I try not to blame the 'Roy Fielding is right' camp on this. I also try not to blame the "terminology doesn't matter' camp. There are groups of people using the same terms for different things, and getting into argu

The post itself says that the effort is independent of ghostty. Their first work will utilize libghostty, and they'll contribute upstream. In other words, this probably won't directly involve changes to ghostty.

Ignoring how a thing was created, is it useful to me (or anyone)? The fascination with LLM coding seems rooted in the new ability to create something with very little effort. Unfortunately, some people do not see the trade comes at the mome

I almost completely disagree. Unprofessional? Maybe a little, but honest, and while the truth isn't flattering to Jarred, I'd say generally kind. Embarrassing? Not from my seat. Andrew is just revealing the relationship dynamics b

Good point, but they don't market it for general consumption, which seems to be the suggestion. I honestly don't think windows is worth any price. Unix is the platform of builders, and nobody needs a middleman charging them to bre

Even at $45 I am still not interested. For actually building software, Linux is king. The OS is a commodity, and I largely do not have to think about it. For desktop use, sure, $45 could fly, but, the main draw of windows is compatibility w

Very smart. You can't lose all your customers for vibe-coding a migration to Rust if you are already written in Rust ;)

I'd word your first point a bit more strongly: The Steam Machine is the best of both worlds, yes, it is a plain PC and Valve is recognizing that. However, they are also selling a fully supported Linux gaming rig that plays many Windows
