I agree. Unicode references sites are numerous and yet this is one of the worst I’ve used in terms of distracting visual noise.

Bullshit. You’ve taken my comment out of context and warped it into some anti-Semitic remark that clearly wasn’t even remotely related to the point I was making. I talked about multiple different countries all having their own national and

I’m not going to disagree with your more general point, even though you’re missing my point, but now you’re the one being exaggerative.

But your local economy is dependent on the county economy that’s dependent on the country’s economy. Yeah local wealth will vary from region to region, but it’s ridiculous to say that local economies operate entirely independently from the

It’s impossible to be entirely disconnected. You’d have to produce your own electricity and water, have no reliance on gas, not require a car nor public transport, not use a mobile phone nor internet, own your own land and have no reliance

I’m pretty sure it matters to rural villages in Ukraine which has been devastated by Russian bombs. And to rural communities in China that have been decimated because they don’t follow the official Chinese religion. Or in Gaza where in May

Trump has some kind of magic aura that allows him to say the most ridiculous stuff that would be career ending for any other politician, and somehow have it received by the public as endearing. It truly is a bizarre time in politics.

I think what makes this feel different isn’t the sabre rattling, which i agree has always happened. But just how many large economic powers are at it concurrently. America is using rhetoric that threatens a civil war right now. Israel is at

Are you honestly suggesting that startups should be picky about taking on customers? That’s probably the oddest thing to read on a tech VC forum. The lading page was garbage. It’s forgivable because designing goods landing pages is hard. Bu

The original UNIX shell (Thompson Shell) had chdir as a builtin, so I’d wager it’s always been a builtin. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thompson_shell

It’s also generally a shell builtin. Though you do find an executable called cd too for compatibility reasons.

Humans need to be in the loop for the same reason other humans peer review humans pull requests: we all fuck up. And AI makes just as many mistakes as humans do. They just do so significantly quicker.

Lua only departs from norms if you’ve had a very narrow experience with other programming languages. Frankly, I welcome the fact that Redis doesn’t use JavaScript. It’s an abomination of a language. The fewer times I need to use it the bett

I really don’t like this. It took me several attempts to figure out what was going on. And even after I had finally figured it out, it still felt more like a rendering glitch than good UX. If I struggled then I really can’t see this working

How does perceptual hashing work? Have you got any recommendations for further reading on this topic?

MCP, as a concept, is a great idea. The problem isn’t having a standard way for agents to branch out. The problem is that AI is the new Javascript web framework: there’s nothing wrong with frameworks, but when everyone and their son are wri

I think the problem lies with the fact that you cannot write kernel code without relying on unsafe blocks of code. So arguably both camps are correct. Those who advocate Rust rewrites, and those who are against it too.

I don’t understand the comparison. Purrtran isn’t an esoteric language.
