Oddly that's been removed, but it is still in the wayback machine. https://web.archive.org/web/20250831064110/https://www.parad...

I am not sure what you mean by fascism in America or what deaths you are referring to. Seems you are okay with some political inspired murder though.

Elon visited Auschwitz with Ben Shapiro and declared he was "aspirationally Jewish". Trump has Jewish children and Grandchildren. Calling someone fascist and Hitler gets them murdered these days, I wish people would be more sens

As engineers we should try to use the right tool for the job, which means thinking about the development team's strengths and weaknesses as well as differentiating factors your product should focus on. Often we are working in the cloud

Great to see these technical retrospectives. I remember David Jones wrote a similar one for the original Amiga game and it was published in a magazine around the time of the release. It included a description of how the scrolling works and

These dos style TUIs are live and well in commercial and industrial settings. Most often you see them in fast food order trackers where their simple clarity stands out.

Building an mcp tool that has access to refactoring operations should be straightforward and using it appropriately is well within the capabilities of current models. I wonder if it exists? I don't do a lot of refactoring with llm so h

No but it puts you on higher ground to discuss differences of opinion like adults instead of trading insults and treating each opposing side as an out group

Your comment was balanced and respectful and yet the reply was denigrating. "All right wing, or simply non-left wing opinions are conspiracies" is the implication. This site is very left wing also.

As a Zig adopter I was rooting for this because even though there is the official documentation and some great community content, it's nice to just kick back and read a well written book. I'm also very happy with other Manning tit

I also blog with org mode and anything that can be exported as a block of html can be easily included. Recently I dropped an interactive chart using React into the text, for example.

Using your numbers and speaking roughly, if you're doing 50k rps and 500 typically to the same row wasn't your contention around 1%? TigerBeetle clais to be able to handle work loads with very high contention, for example 80 or 90

That a traditional modern RDBMS is very fast is not really useful here because the use case of Tigerbeetle includes work loads with high contention. Under that kind of load, in their own tests you can see in a recent conference talk, you ca

Technical leaders need to educate their teams not to create this kind of technical debt. We have a new tool for designing and implementing code, but ultimately the agent is the software engineer and the same practices we have always followe

The argument is that companies cannot hire locally the talent they need. The super star devs that make or break a company. And yet they are not worth $100k?

Or pay $100k

Thank you. I was completely wrong about section 230.

So you're saying that YouTube is a publisher and should not have section 230 protections? They can't have it both ways. Sure remove content that violates policies but YouTube has long set itself up as an opinion police force, choo

There is plenty of room for both languages to exist. Engineering is all about trade offs. Rust has some big pluses but it's not suitable for every application.

"Announce that Git 3.0 will make Rust a mandatory part of our build infrastructure." Sounds like it will be mandatory to use Rust to build all of Git. The title implies Rust itself will be mandatory.

Zig is all about making things explicit. Destructors are hidden code. I presume there will be an application level tracking of lifetime.

If all you know about Tigerbeetle is the mascot you should probably take another look before judging. Some very interesting db tech.

Very illustrative of how well thought out the architecture of Emacs is. I mean, extensibility is in the name, of course it's extendable, but I don't think many systems reached this level.
