I do a bit of performance work and find most often that things are mixed: there’s enough CPU between syscalls that the hardware isn’t being full maximized, but there’s enough I/O the CPUs aren’t pegged either. It is rare that the profi

Kinda reads like the Graal team lost a battle to the Java team, and now Graal must content itself with JavaScript and Python. But, like, who is going to use Oracle anything for JS and Python?

Probably. Barentsburg, west from Longyearbyen, is predominantly a Russian mining village. Svalbard is interesting in that it is part of Norway but citizens of some other countries are granted more rights than they’d have in the rest of Norw

I do not instinctively know this, no. I encourage you to take an evidence-based approach. The deficit has largely grown over the past 25 years because of foreign wars, tax cuts, and pandemic response.

It’s not so much my belief but plain established fact that they’re both very very rich. What’d Jesus have to say about the rich getting into heaven? Camels, eyes of needles…?

Elon Musk, Alex Karp, and the tradlife, in one post. Please touch some grass. If you’re complaining about secularism and committed to Judeo-Christian religion, how do you reconcile Elon and Karp being the embodiment of everything that Jesus

After reading through this long piece, I am going to assume that Jim is not real or he is that he does not in fact eat cat turds.

I live in DC and go to NY a couple times a year, for a decade+. It can be a little faster to fly, sometimes it can be a little cheaper (but that depends a lot on when you book), but AmTrak wastes less of my time. Living in DC proper, it&#x2

No, absolutely not, never. This is terrible, this kind of thing is terrible, and it comes with a terrible human toll.

Oh, I will never give up on TDD. And the assistants are great at helping to write tests, and especially analyzing the tests you have and suggesting others for edge cases. But I have repeatedly seen claude get hung up on TDD itself and I&#x2

Sure. But a Friday night massacre isn’t exactly a great policy fix though, n’est-ce pas?

If there such a thing as American exceptionalism, if the USA has an edge, it is immigration. Without it, our demographic future is cooked. So, that’s why.

I guess I consider it great in comparison to CppUnit, Boost Test, and Google Test. I also like that it incorporated nonius, that's a big win.

The thing I am calling BS on is that there's much productivity gain in giving it very small tasks and constantly steering its direction. For 80% of code, I'm faster than it if that's what I have to do. For debugging? For tell

I think it has more to do with the kind of software I write and their requirements then it has to do with spending more time with this current tool. For some things it's great, but it's been a net productivity loss for me on my co

I first tried getting specific with Claude Code. I made the Claude.md, I detailed how to do TDD, what steps it should take, the commands it should run. It was imperfect. Then I had it plan (think hard) and write the plan to a file. I’d clea

It does not take much familiarity with the history of Mississippi flood control and the Army Corps of Engineers to realize how risky, fraught, and short-sighted the whole project has been. The delta's dying and the Old River Control St

Catch2 is great as a unit test framework. Running unit tests with the address sanitizer and UB sanitizer enabled go a long way towards addressing most memory safety bugs. The kind of C++ you write then is a far cry from what the haters comp

Immigration laws are civil, not criminal, and there’s a wide degree of latitude, which is all legal. It’s not binary. This administration has turned the dial to 11, including several actions which have not been consistent with the rule of l

That’s a nonsequitur. My neighborhood in DC, with high immigrant population, has a lower crime than Capitol Hill, with a far lower immigrant population. DC has a lower crime rate than the places that are sending federal agents here.

As a non-American, one thing that may be hard for you to understand is that immigration is a core principle. Now, with each wave, immigration has also had a popular reaction to it, but this reaction is not universal—many Americans understan

The role of shipping fuel getting cleaned up and causing less cloud cover and therefore a decrease in albedo is well-known in the climate-oriented parts of US Government. It’s just that they’re all getting fired or otherwise silenced.
