Love it. My mirror is even snarkier and grumpier than I am.

Agree if that power is truly sustainable. OTOH, if you have solar panels and drive power to the grid, you can sell "credits" to large power users who will use them to "offset" their less-green power sources to appear to

Labor is a necessary component of the finished goods. Therefore its source, cost, availability, and "externalities" relative to competing formulations is indeed relevant.

Virtual L3 and L4 swinging gigabytes around to keep data at the hot end of the memory-storage hierarchy even post L2 or L3 eviction? Impressive! Exactly the kind of sophisticated optimizations you should build when you have billions of tran

Sure. The need to organize millions (now 10s to 100s of billions) of transistors to do something useful, the economics and will to bring those to market, the need to coordinate functions baked into hardware with the faster moving and vastly

Is "single user graphics workstation" even still a goal? Great target in the Early to Mid Ethernetian when Xerox Dorados and Dandelions, Symbolics, and Liliths roamed the Earth. Doesn't feel like a modern goal or standard of

"Addressed" or "mitigated" perhaps. Not "solved." Just "made less painful" or "enough less painful that we don't need to run screaming from the room."

A giant part of the cost of dynamic languages is memory access. It's not possible, in general, to know the type, size, layout, and semantics of values ahead of time. You also can't put "Python objects" or their component

Also: UCSD p-System, Symbolics Lisp-on-custom hardware, ... Historically their performance is underwhelming. Sometimes competitive on the first iteration, sometimes just mid. But generally they can't iterate quickly (insufficient resou

No, I get that. But that obvious screw-up is being conflated with assessments of "is Cursor any good?" "is Cursor still ahead of the pack?" "does LLM-assisted coding good/useful?" et cetera . This one fa

Given the title, thought this was going to be another "write it down, get it out of your head" note-taking tool. Boy was I surprised when the first thing I typed in exploded into 10 more things to think about!

I don't understand the negativity. I use Cursor and love it. Are there real challenges with forking VS Code? Yep. Are there glitches with LLMs? Sure. Are there other AI-powered coding alternatives that can do some of the same things? Y

The Shape Up model (originally from Basecamp) builds in a 2-week "cool down" period after every 6-week "build new stuff" period. We further designate one of those weeks as a "bug blitz." That 1-2 weeks in every

It's an okayish tool. After using it for a few years, accumulated enough quirks to significantly diminish my initial enthusiasm. The concurrency gotchas, the utter lack of debugging and profiling tools, the weak management of today&#x2

Is this a response to some controversy around Laravel Forge? Or is it just to be self-hosted?

Ambitious. Given the great diversity of shell scripting needed (even if just bash) across different variants of Linux and Unix and different platform versions, debugging the resulting transpiled executables is not something I'd be keen

Image persistence was one of the cool ideas of Smalltalk. And in practice, one of the biggest drawbacks. Cruft and old values accumulated steadily, with very little way to find and eliminate them. Transient execution has some cons. But on t

"Agile is dead. Long live agile!" (But really, small-a agile has been ascendant, better, and preferred in many places for at least a decade. That or related takes on agility like Shape Up.)

I see this false promise all the time: Simple tools are simple to use. NO. Not necessarily. Use a handsaw to fell a forest if you like, or a hoe to till 1,000 acres. But I will not. Tool simplicity will come back to bite you if the task you

The problem: How do you have examples that are simple enough for those learning the refactoring tricks and techniques to quickly grok and be able to work on, and not overly complicated by the kinds of "real-world complexities" tha
