No parent should have to learn from their child about the abuses computer people have done to mathematical notation.

I'd hate to be their customer right now. Is this the only "corporate-scale" forge besides Github? There's a lot of cool things happening between Gitea/Forgejo, Tangled, and Radical, but I doubt the latter two have a

"Speed with quality" combined with that says a lot. Sounds to me like it will be the base expectation that their remaining developers slop out features in record time. Any failures will be theirs to "own" personally.

It's the only news I've heard about new-phone-tech that's gotten me remotely excited in a long time. I'm too poor to be buying new devices though so I'll have to let others do the beta testing for a couple years.

I hope there's no web equivalent for a while. I usually hate app lock-in, but any hasty API for this is going to be a DoS or fingerprinting nightmare.

The graphene project seems to choose security over freedom in a few cases. They also recommend using the Google Play store over F-droid IIRC. Not my preference, but they seem so far ahead of other ROMs right now that I use it still. I do be

Agreed. The earlier blog post did not explicitly claim this, but I think casual viewers were prompted to believe that the Magic of Mythos (TM) went and found (and fixed??) a bunch of vulnerabilities with minimal human guidance, and even con

I dismissed the earlier non-technical blog post as shameless product boosterism for Anthropic. The linked hacks blog (which is a better source than this article) is a welcome release. It's hard to deny there's something real to th

Oops, Yes. I got 2/3 of the letters correct, though. I think that might be a better rate of success than their court cases during those years.

Corporations seem to rely on key software that just a few people maintain all the time already, but you're right and the bus factor does not look great. Mise is also currently MITMing my shell, along with presumably many other dev mach

Anti-trust. They're selling part of the problem (inference via Gemini) and now they're selling a solution. They also dominate web standards by developing the dominant browser. And they control one of two dominant phone platforms

I don't know what to call this - a "freelancer launch"? It is the best executed one I've seen, though. Maybe even a black-mark on OSS if it does not go well.

> So I left Figma to work on these full time. The Mise website makes way more sense to me now. I suppose some artistic license is justified when you're at the cutting-edge of the CLI aesthetic and what not.

I wasn't aware, and I even paid for their search for a time. I still do not understand the market for a proprietary browser aimed at privacy-conscious power-users. There is a non-proprietary option that is many years ahead, along with

This would not have ever been announced while Lina Khan was running the FCC.

Such a bizarre boondoggle for a company that otherwise seems to have smart and focused offerings. They may as well announce a Slack or Jira replacement next.

Underwriters already have a solution, but there's a national flood insurance program ensuring taxpayers hold the bag instead.

I hope the only reason people are pretending these markdown suggestions are a "workflow" is fear that a more structured approach will be obsolete by the time it's polished. I can't imagine the pace of innovation with the

As in, full replacement of developers at Western companies by the "AI"? I would be very surprised. I do suspect that developing software in California in 10-20 years may be looked at as if one were proposing a sweatshop to sew pan

I suppose that would just be an interactive CLI. Usually I think of them as one-and-done invocations like sed. It's definitely not an ideal mode as evidenced by the current popularity of vim over ed, but it's better than a program

I'm confident the world will need more software developers than ever before, no matter where "AI" goes from here. I don't think most of those jobs will be in the West, though.

All of the three sectors you've mentioned are not in a good place right now. Probably much less stressful to be an unemployed programmer than trying to make a hobby-scale farm profitable with soaring fuel and fertilizer prices, along w

A lot of the complaints in this thread seem like they're aimed more at recent vibecoded UIs than the concept of a TUI. Like, okay, they are a big step back with accessibility, but they're flickering garbage because they were vib

I'm sure there's a proposal for this somewhere, but I've always wondered if it wouldn't be most viable to just have a separate "reader mode" that replaces all the TUI elements with some sort of templated descri

It's true though. I accidently put a React component in my Postgres schema and all the data was dropped. It really poisoned the whole stack.

Window managers are more flexible than multiplexers, but I also think there's a higher floor of effort juggling multiple separate GUI programs than going between tabs and panes in a terminal emulator. Multi-monitor terminal juggling al

Fix the issue quickly, or optimize to the point where revenue gained from breaking the law exceeds the fine. Last I read they were holding steady on "passengers want us to pull into bikelanes to drop-off" in California.

Maybe the practice is what you would always want. Not me.

That is an interesting example, thank you for the insight. It is amazing how simple logic is when you're able to front-load pre-reqs into a pattern match, but the idea of defining a function multiple times still feels "wrong"
