In Russian it's quite common too. Car can be feminine (машина), masculine (авто/автомобиль), and neuter (транспортное средство). And different car brands usually have their own gender too: for example Mercedes is usually masculine

> nobody ever makes grammar errors related to gender For most words, yes. Some loanwords are tricky to gender because of their declension. For example gender of "coffee" in russian is highly disputed: https://www.red

LSP is not that bad. They tried to decouple IDE features from language features. Resolving file paths is not trivial because it's language specific. Syncing source changes on the LSP server side is necessary to keep packet side small a

> but I haven't seen anything like this before Just a bunch of controversial ideas: structured programming, null, intellisense, microservices, cloud first, serverless, OOP, "Clean Code", exceptions, SaaS.

Same! I decided to reinstall Windows and MBR to GPT conversion (surprisingly!) wiped the whole disk. 10 years of family photos gone. Good thing we had all important ones printed.

WGPU/Vulkan don't work with PTX shaders by default, additional translation would be needed. On a side note, Vulkan has extension to launch CUDA kernels: https://docs.vulkan.org/refpages/latest/refpages&#x

Might be one of the only use cases where LLMs are necessary to succeed. Can't imagine the pain of reverse engineering a technology of this scale and "secrecy".

That's my point, diligent use of AI is indistinguishable. And because of bad rep we will see any bad code called out "AI slop".

I solved this by writing a trivial Node http server Telegram bot that accepts messages on root endpoint and sends them as bot messages. 100LOC. Of course the difference is that it's not SaaS and you have to host it somewhere. https:&#

$702 more is relative and tells nothing without the basis. It's 61% increase in 5 years.

Worst part is that it's often not clear at the first glance was it something carefully crafted or steamrolled by LLM.

It's an economical miracle too. Rare case where producing one sellable product is identical in costs to producing millions. And international distributuon and scaling is simple too, compared to physical goods.

Should be easy to purchase a 2.4GHz jammer, about as easy as to get in trouble for using it though.

Imagine the world where open-source is collaborating instead of fragmenting. Single Linux distribution, single compartibility layer for other OSes, single graphics API, single package manager...

Debug allocator can't catch it because it's not an allocation bug. Debug allocator finds bugs by marking memory during alloc/free and inspects them upon deinit. Pointer to a memory location change is not something allocator h

I count this as a "rookie at system programming" mistake alongside returning a reference to a local variable. Rust is great at this because borrow checker can catch those at compile time and it can _teach_ devs to not do that.

Some kind of proof of stake might be viable. "I as a visitor stake 1 cent that I'm a genuine user and not a sloppy bot, server is free to withdraw my stake if it's not true". If works, withdrawn money can be used to cove

There has to be some not-yet-discovered way to have a capcha that is easy for any human but impossible for robot. Too bad capchas hurt user experience no matter how easy they are. Another solution I came up with while reading HN comments: w
