You have a point. I think it's just a matter of how we get information. It's a difference in values, and we're bound to see things differently. That said, this is how I think, and I don't plan to change my mind. You prob

This is truly a high-quality post. I completely agree with it. Workflow is tied to one's identity. Regarding the discussion about Linux desktops in this post, I think the reason Linux lacks popularity as an desk operating system is tha

What is that emotional longing, exactly? I don't really know. First, to be honest about my own feelings toward Rust: as you know, Rust's traits feel like a mix of Haskell's typeclasses and OOP, and that mashup of multiple lan

There are some points where I disagree with that argument. It comes down to where you draw the line on human effort. You're basically saying that hammering a nail with a regular hammer and hammering it with a power tool aren't the

Thank you for pointing out something I didn't know. That said, I do think there are some issues with it, just as you mentioned. I think it's a simulacrum and simulation problem. I recently had a chance to teach some students, and

I can recognize it too. For example, there's that particular archetype where the writing summarizes things by leading with a block quote. But I don't think that's a bad thing. To be honest, I actually think some AI style of s

think there's a difference in perspective here. There are a few things I see differently. I'd probably hate it too if AI generated writing started showing up in novels. But when it comes to things like wikis or encyclopedias where

But I don't really get what the problem is with using AI for editing. This article clearly has a sense of what it's trying to say. A human wrote the first draft, and then AI polished it. It's a method I use a lot myself. So i

Do they still make screensavers that collect these kinds of things these days? When I was a kid, I used to love just staring blankly at computer screensavers.

I read it, and it seems like the core formula is ΔL ≈ ln(1 / HR) × 12.93 years (for U.S. males). It also gives you an easy way to approximate and interpret HR values from health studies, like an HR of 0.90 roughly translates to a littl

Rust must be a big deal. Every post about programming languages seems to mention Rust. Even C++ articles bring up Rust, and Zig articles bring up Rust. I think it's because Rust has solved some really impressive problems. But at the sa

That's just them being cruel, not your fault. Your skills and knowledge aren't your entire worth. I think you're a perfectly fine person. They just said cruel things that hurt you. Don't let that define you. I actually t

There are some points I understand rationally but find hard to agree with emotionally. What I understand rationally is the claim that AI is destroying your garden and community. It's an undeniable fact that intellectual property and th

I understand your anger too. AI did steal open source knowledge, and I agree with that part. But separately from that, I think it's a bit unfair to talk about the people associated with it in such a dismissive way. In reality, humans a

I agree with some of your points, but I think the Safe C++ project will be difficult because it would require breaking backward compatibility with existing projects. Honestly, I also don't agree with the claim that 'if you manage

I feel the same way as you do. Honestly, even though it was well-packaged, I did find it a bit rude. But since I don't know their personal relationship, it's not really my place to interfere.

I agree with some points as well. In fact, the OP argues that sufficient engineering attention can solve the problem, but I think that's only theoretical in reality, it's difficult. It's like C programmers claiming that undef

I read the post and roughly summarized it as: 1.It felt uncomfortable that Bun was presented as a representative example of Zig. From the internal Zig perspective, it looked more like a bad example of how to use Zig. 2.It felt uncomfortable

The point where I truly feel that AI is a game changer is that these kinds of posts keep appearing. Tautological outcries keep going on both sides, pro and con, endlessly repeating circular logic. There's no real substance or evidence,

Personally, I wish they had shared some of the galactic code that GROK claims to have generated.

Books have their advantages, but I don't think you necessarily need to read books—in fact, I think books can sometimes be worse. One strength of books is that their structure, starting with the table of contents, trains you in logical

I followed and forked it on GitHub. When Eve Online first came out, the graphics were stunning. I'm planning to dig into the code and take a close look at how the graphics renderer was implemented.

Realistically speaking, most programs, no, 90% of them are terrible. Including mine. I write terrible code too, so I'm in no position to judge. The programs I've taken apart and looked at, even ones running in real industrial sett
