Please don't mess with native prototypes though.

If nobody does, what will these models be trained on? I guess only people writing code manually will be "frontier".

In case you missed them: check out querySelector and querySelectorAll. They are closer to what the jQuery selector system does, and I think they were inspired by it. If the verbosity bothers you, you can always define an utility function wi

I'm all for asking nicely in general but it doesn't work well with entitled people who don't give a shit about the people around them. The chances, regardless how nice you try to ask, that the person who elected to broadcast

It is a challenge! I'll take imperfect ESL writing or imperfect writing in my native language over LLM soup any day.

You're absolutely right! It's not just the brain shutoffs—it's the feeling of death inside.

By polling I meant having to remember to visit the website manually. Of course, the RSS client itself will poll the website.

You are right, I went a bit too quickly so let me expand a bit my chain of thoughts. The article is against the set of LLM evangelists who are hostile towards the skeptics. I 100% agree with the part that basically says fuck you to them. Ho

This doesn't feel completely right. Simon Wilson (known for Django) has been doing a lot of LLM evangelism on his blog these days. Antirez (Redis) wrote a blog post recently with the same vibe. I doubt they are not good programmers. Th

A blog is nice for readers who'd like to follow your thoughts without having to poll your website (thanks to RSS). But indeed, a loose collection of simple pages is better than nothing at all... You are completely right, just write the

I don't think this title implies this. The title says "There were sexualised AI images of women and children, and the UK threatens X over this". What more than this do you read in this title? Is there actually a significant n

I suspect the person you are responding to wasn't including everything that doesn't work on Linux, in particular Microsoft Office, in this phrase, but domain specific / specialized business software.

Contrary to <img /> or <br />, <div /> is necessarily a mistake or intentionally misleading. The unfamiliar reader should not stumble upon <div /> too often. <div /> is a bug. It's

Right! Thanks for this. I've never really looked into this and have been writing whatever worked, with a preference for the single colon. CSS 1 & 2 apparently conflated the two, and CSS 3 allows one column for CSS 1 & 2 pseudo

1) doesn't seem to be a very big issue, the syntax is quite simple and readable. Arguably, INI or XML would have been worse. INI especially would have been a shame, now that we can nest blocks. XPATH selectors would have been nice, the

I suppose I wouldn't mind much either way, apart from the misaligned text maybe now that you brought my attention to it. I agree that colors could help. Don't hesitate to give KDE/Qt a try, it apparently happens to get all th

As a solo developer, you can totally program like you did in the php 4 days. PHP and the web platform are both mostly backward compatible, only both have more features that help a lot, including with security, and deprecated or removed most

And you'd probably use the snapshot feature of a filesystem like btrfs or zfs instead of hardlinks for deduplication :-)

2.5h of battery life is absolutely not typical though. Linux on laptops is often fine. Picking hardware with good support helps a lot. I would expect system76 to be a safe bet though (but I haven't tried their hardware).

Yes you might, because Bitcoin doesn't solve anything correctly (notably, its value is so volatile it can't be relied upon), while consuming an absurd amount of energy. By design, it made its first users stupidly rich, which is no

Your comment gives the impression that you think open source software is only developed by unpaid hobbyists. This not true, this is quite an outdated view. Many things are worked on by developers paid full time. And that people are mostly i

Hard because of web compatibility. The good news is that it would probably not matter much for chromium's memory footprint anyway...
