I thought typos was a signifier for human-created these days, because an LLM is unlikely to land on something that is not a word.

If you are a bank or a bookmaker or similar you may well want to have total control of physical access to the machines. I know one bookmaker I worked with had their own mini-datacenter, mainly because of physical security.

It looks like that if you want logically separated commits from a chunk of programming you have done. Stage a file or a hunk or two, write commit message, commit, rinse and repeat.

C# doesn't depend on a VM these days when it is AOT compiled. Same for Java, though C# is rather more user friendly in how it goes about it.

IBM had such a culture back in the day, where they feted 1 kloc/day programmers. That was what Bill Gates sneered at with the "Measuring software productivity by lines of code is like measuring progress on an airplane by how much

But why? It's not all that much harder to do original work than redrawing the output of an AI.

Games Workshop is more entrenched in their niche than any of the FAANGs. They can do what they want, because nobody else can do WH40K.

That's really weak what-aboutism. The part where the Iranian regime is bad isn't that there are protests in the country, It's a human right to protest. The thing that makes the Iranian regime bad is that they are killing prot

ChromeOS uses Gentoo as a base. That doesn't seem to have helped get them any Google money.

EA is notorious for throwing games out there and abandoning them as soon as they don't turn out to be massive hits. That is a company that has plenty of resources to support the games and fix the bugs.

Support for arrays without having to mess with pointers is pretty attractive for number crunchers too.

That was probably The Game Awards[0], which is a big deal. I guess whoever is behind Indie Game Awards sees the name confusion as a feature rather than a bug. [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Game_Awards_2025

On the other hand, if you write a substantial amount of code in a niche languages, the LLMs will pick up your coding style as it's in a sizable chunk of the training corpus.

If anything is shocking it is how modern readers have to be spoon fed bullet points and can't handle the slightest complexity of composition.

But in a typical FOSS scenario, your decision to open source the code and Tyson Foods decision to use it are decoupled. You don't know who all the potential users are when you open source it, so you can't consider all the concrete

But that is an unanswerable question which depends on how the data structure is used. The reasonable thing is to calculate the cost for the operations separately and let whoever uses the algorithms figure out what that means for their use c

Math isn't concerned with what exists or not, circles doesn't exist in reality either. And infinity is useful, if we didn't have it we would need to reinvent it in a clumsier form, like "the limit if x goes to a very, ve

I'm knee deep in clang at the moment and I'm so fed up with real compiler engineering. Give me Chez Scheme and the nanopass compiler any day. That is so much better than the big ball of mud that goes into a "real" compil

To me it looks like simple, clear examples of potential issues. It's unfortunate to frame that as "crapping on Go", how are new Go programmers going to learn about the pitfalls if all discussion of them are seen as hostility?

It's not at all strange, Python and OCaml are mature and polished and they still have tackled the same issue very recently.

The big news here is that Racket now can run threads in parallel. While there were ways to get parallelism before (like places), this is much more lightweight and familiar. Anything that expands the areas where Racket is viable is good news
