Claude Code is ahead of anything else, in a very noticeable way. (I've been writing my own cli tooling for AI codegen from 2023 - and in that journey I've tried most of the options out there. It has been a big part of my work - so

What has changed is the last four years is that Chinese and Korean lens makers have caught up in a big way, and are now producing excellent optics at a fraction of the price with AF and weather sealing (as of now, primes only). For example,

Yes, periscope lenses are fairly common on phones. 10x "optical zoom".

I am a Max 20x subscriber, and I'm not unhappy that Anthropic is putting this in place. Claude is vital to me and I want it to be a sustainable business. I won't hit these limits myself, and I'm saving many times what I would

Why types are good (even essential) for large projects has been documented quite extensively. Internet pushed JS to the forefront and as projects increased in scope and ambition, types became unavoidable. More recently, see how there's

An agent should never have access to files or data outside of the project (emails, passwords, maybe crypto, photographs) - it makes no sense to allow that. I've always run agents inside a docker sandbox. Made a tool for this called cod

I was arguing that the hierarchy is already in your path. The explicit namespace (and even the class name) is redundant if what you want are mostly functions. Currently, you're forced to define the hierarchy in the directory structure,

This can be opt in, and not break any existing code.

When you write 'mod foo;' in a Rust file (say, main.rs), Rust will look for the source code for the module named foo in one of two places: a file named foo.rs in the same directory as the file declaring the module, or a folder nam

I just want to focus on writing functions. Here's a trivial example. I would like: // math/adder.cs public static add(int x, int y) : int { return x + y; } Instead of: // math/adder.cs

It's not radical succintness. I just like to write pure functions. C# embraces many fp idioms, but in the end makes it hard to use them without a lot of ceremony. So what I see is a very capable language, with generics far ahead of gol

> ridiculous breaking change Not at all. This can be done without breaking code. The important part isn't typing the namespace - rather, the freedom to move files around without having to change namespaces. Even if it were something

C# is a fantastic language, and with NativeAOT it can become a real alterntive to Go. It "can"; but most likely it won't. The problem with C# is that its design decisions won't attract any new users who are considering o

Here's another point of view: https://x.com/BDUTT/status/1944012769323626682 The four Indian pilots on her show are clearly not convinced that the pilots are to blame. As they mention, it's important to

The switch had to be operated deliberately, but still a UX fail on a modern aircraft if cutting off fuel to the engines does not result in an audible alert/alarm which both pilots can hear - especially at that altitude.

Not every tool can be figured out in a day (or a week or more). That doesn't mean that the tool is useless, or that the user is incapable.

Maybe it doesn't hurt eyes, but I guess wide adoption of this tech would lay a minefield for mirrorless camera sensors.

Go has few advantages for this kind of workload - most of the time it'll just be waiting on io. And you suffer from the language itself; many type system features that you get for free in modern langauges require workarounds in Go. I&#

I find it amusing that people (even here on HN) are expecting a brand new tool (among the most complex ever) to perform adequetely right off the bat. It will require a period of refinement, just as any other tool or process.

Nope, very different. Depending on whether the expression is on an Enumerable or a Queryable, the compiler generates an anonymous function or an AST. That is, you can get "code as data" as in say Lisp; and allows expressions to be
