Love `TOTALLY RIGHT` and `COMPLETELY WRONG` as boolean, but `TRUTH` and `FAKE NEWS` sounds better. Too much social media consumption makes me feel that "truth" or "fact" are kinda sarcastic. It also reminds me TrumpScrip

> Zig for ( 0..9 ) |i| { } > C for (i = 0; i < 9; i++) { } I know an open interval [0..9) makes sense in many cases, but it's counterintuitive and I often forget whether it includes the last value or not. It&#x27

I like data lakes and their SQL-like query languages. They feel like an advanced version of the "Everything is a file" philosophy. Under "Everything is a file", you can read or manipulate a wide variety of information vi

I know how important code quality is. But I can't (or don't have energy to) convince junior engineers and sometimes project managers to submit good quality code instead of vibe-coded garbage anymore.

It's super hard to have good faith discussions on the internet for years now. When someone has different opinions, those opinions are associated with certain groups (liberals, conservatives, etc). And it's very easy to demonize ot

The problem with vibe coding is it demoralizes experienced software engineers. I'm developing a MVP with vibes and Claude Code and Codex output work in many cases for this relatively new project. But the quality of code is bad. There i

I wonder that's because a lot of news titles are clickbait. If they hallucinate the summary based on what the title may suggest, no wonder they misunderstand half of news articles.

I agree with the author. DSLs are often more reasonable, readable, and authentic than weirdly ported versions for general purpose languages. On the other hand, language servers checking type mismatches and providing suggestions are very use

Off topic, but because the article mentioned improper usage of DOM, I put down the UK government's design system/accessibility. It's well documented, and I hope all governments have the same standard. I guess they paid a huge

With LLM and coding agent, it may be become possible to highlight core business logic, or other actually important information. Imagine reading 100 lines of Go function, and the core business logic is highlighted by blue, error handling is

The grid layout in spreadsheets works well for prototyping UI, but I also love there is no grid system in excalidraw. In other UI tool, I can't stop aligning every elements or it really bothers me. In excalidraw I can be satisfied with

Every time YouTube has problems, I'm like "why YouTube doesn't try hard to work properly on my Firefox with uBlock origin, sponsorblock, and dozen of conflicted plugins? Are they stupid?"

I also had a very hard time to annotate types in python few years ago. A lot of popular python libraries like pandas, SQLAlchemy, django, and requests, are so flexible it's almost impossible to infer types automatically without parsing

I wonder how many of the cancer and heart disease reports are just about famous people who happened to die from those causes, rather than educational or awareness articles.

My theory is that as more people compete, the top candidates become those who are best at gaming the system rather than actually being the best. Someone has probably studied this. My only evidence is job applications for GAFAM and Tinder th

I used to be a heavy user of i3. It's very flexible and configurable, and you can do much more than just moving windows. But after I switched to Mac, I couldn't find a tiling window manager that was both feature-rich and stable. A

I kinda feel Bitcoin hitting $100k does not mean its success. I think it proves to fail to become a currency as intended at first, and instead it becomes a gambling target and political tools for billionaires. That's far from the origi

I agree both are easy to say, but IMO ${new_thing}s fail like 80% of time and, even it succeeds, take much longer time to find its useful usages and it's much narrower than we expected at first. So I think it's better to have skep

I wish there's a standard for short UUID, like `73WakrfVbNJBaAmhQtEeDv` or `bK7nP9xM`. I mean, it's not UUID cause it can be duplicated somewhere, I just want an ID standart combination of random and short enough to remember.

I bet in a few years the CEO of Apple will be replaced by someone who's only interested in short-term gains, and the stock price may increase even higher at a sharp rate for like a decade or two. Then it becomes like Boeing or Intel; e

Probably that data was used to train AI models too. I hope we establish a legal framework that prevents training models without proper permission, and the companies that have already trained their models will get fined and those models will
