It's what I personally took away from it. I was also someone who had the same feeling when I first heard Wayland's "every frame is perfect" mentality. I thought, "This is probably a good idea on multiple levels.&quo

That is exactly what I'm talking about, though. This is not what is happening with buggy computer UI animations: these are not carefully crafted to look better in motion, they're actually only considered acceptable because i

The point is that if a pixel is in a nonsensical place the only thing that is to blame for that is the code. It doesn't matter if it looks pleasing; there's no good reason for something to be wrong just because it looks acceptable

I think you are taking it a step too far. First of all, unlike film, we are not recording reality in any way, every pixel that appears on screen is there because we put it there . I'd argue a closer parallel is a cartoon. And somethin

Because Claude Code is literally nothing particularly special. We don't need their business model. They need their business model, and to that I say, tough shit.

> Software is made between commits Yes. > DeltaDB captures every operation in between [each commit] No. First of all, that feels intrusive. I would also prefer to not have a screen recorder that is running 24/7 while I work. Yes,

You know, I'm not saying I don't understand what they are doing from a business perspective, but I'm just saying: DeepSeek V4 doesn't silently sabotage you because it thinks you are trying to violate a ToS. Anthropic&#x2

Sure but it certainly seems that way. There were already thousands and this PR adds a fair bit more too. It is possible to have thousands of tests and a lot of blind spots, but it's easier to get a grip on that using instrumentation li

If this works and passes all of the tests, then it seems like a done deal to me. LLMs are just too good at doing ports where they have a rigorous automated test suite or oracle to compare against. They're oddly bad at following instr

100% believe this one. The good thing about Wacom devices is that they're actually quite simple to deal with. All of the Wacom devices use a simple packet-based format that, while it varies per model, is quite well documented, what wit

I may have tried this exact thing a few years ago without LLMs, though I can no longer remember if it was a ThinkPad X61 or not. I just know it was an Intel ICH that wasn't supported by Coreboot and wasn't documented at all. I tri

Between this and the IPv6 zone identifier issue, it feels like there's a bit of a trend of commenters more or less assuming Go is doing the wrong thing when it's actually following the standards/best practices more correctl

Aside from the LLM smell, the most egregious thing about this article to me is simply implying that it's going to be much of a surprise to people that PHP has improved since the "fractal of bad design" days. The most popular

I believe this is primarily for running Podman on macOS and Windows, where you need to run everything through a VM for anything to really work.

Same boat here, just a couple years more experience. Current LLMs are still kind of shit at actually programming so many jobs do still care to have professional programmers. However, I think it's evident that if things stand where th

As someone who grew up coding after it was mostly 32-bit, I can't say this with certainty, but my gut feeling is that paradoxically you would have and it would've made you stronger.

Unfortunately I have never really used Erlang outside of deploying RabbitMQ. I mostly use Go, Rust, Python, sometimes C/C++. However, Mnesia seems like it is quite a bit more of a complete distributed database engine than Redis. To me

I am not aware of an in-process alternative similar to what Redis offers.

by jchw 4mo ago
To me the thing I like about Redis is that it gives you a storage engine very suitable for caches; it handles TTLs and memory pressure, as well as built-in serialization with the ability to get better performance by allowing for some data l

When you say, "I see content, not style," you are separating what is being said from how it is being said. While it is great that you can extract the core message, you are missing a fundamental truth about writing: style and co

I just find it to be utter dreck. It has one of the most agitating prose styles I've ever seen. I would legitimately rather read actual broken English than the cliché polished turds Claude pops out. I am not an LLM hater, I think these

Sorry to say but I'm absolutely certain I would've preferred to read your worst attempt at a write-up over the grating utter shite LLMs output. It's not even a question, this is unreadable.

I ran into some of these issues when working on IPv6 validation in a library. I found that if you just call system functions like inet_pton, you would also get OS-dependent restrictions on what zone identifiers are valid! This isn't id

Regardless of exactly how clean the environment is, my favorite part of systemd is the fact that there is only one regardless of how something was triggered. Whether a unit is triggered via a mount unit, timer unit, udev rule, it's t
