I am VERY confident you guys have everything I mentioned either half working or coming shortly, so I'm not worried. I just saw a "the debugger is here!" announcement, then read the announcement, and saw what's still unde

Oh yeah, of course :). My argument is they're just premature in declaring readiness.

Zed was the first editor that tempted me into using AI features. It felt solid in general and AI feels mostly like autocomplete in other editors (in terms of how much it's in your face). There's definitely a place for AI models an

I'm very happy to see work on the debugger. This is the main feature preventing me from switching full time to zed. Unfortunately, "here" is not accurate. Not having a watch window, a stack trace view, and no mention of data

It’s not “mistakes”, it’s fashion. The cool thing about fashion is you can never run out of innovation. If something has been out of fashion for 15 years you can bring it back! It makes it seem like everything is forever changing and new. I

Agreed. The previous article made me think “this tool is probably more potent than I thought and I should give it a try”. It did not make me drop my concerns about AI in general.

The correct way to recommend to the scientifically inclined to learn about breathwork “without the woo woo” is to point to a meta analysis. The first one I found suggests that yeah, breathwork can lead to lower stress but that most studies

> The header formats are meant to be very simple key/value pairs that are known by the parser, and not free-form bits of metadata. That's what the "meta" blocks are for. One more thing you should prepare for whenever

> 1. Compatibility is a key factor here, so we'd want to go with base-level JSON. I'd prefer being able to have trailing commas in lists, but not enough to make life hard for someone implementing this without access to a JSON5

TIL these are a thing. Thanks! (Just a regular joe on the internet, not the author)

I really don’t like the highly hierarchical format, that there’s a “..meta” and a “…meta” somewhere else. I can imagine we want to annotate the whole diff, each file and each chunk. That’s a total of 3 levels of depth. Let’s just give them

The statistic is actually wrong, I misremembered. It is from Tantacrul, a designer overseeing the current design of MuseScore and the redesign of Audacity. It's a finding he had while working at microsoft on a revamped version of MS Pa

In my view, peak design is the "density" setting in Gmail where you could select between 3 degrees of density and wasted space in the UI. Even though I like somewhat denser interfaces, I know that lots of whitespace is GREAT for n

There’s only 1 artifact. A static executable. No “need” for a package manager. If someone builds a package manager they would just need to compile the src and ship the executable. All you need to do otherwise is add it in PATH.

I honestly felt the grime on my phone’s screen had more impact on my accuracy than anything else. Sometimes i’d just rotate my phone and instantly spot the difference after the disks moved.

I first found it hilarious that there are 9 authors for a 10 person experiment, but I double checked. There are multiple experiments with 82 total participants. One of those experiments does indeed have a sample size of 10. Yup, this is sti

The reason is: bots DO spam you repeatedly and increase your network costs. Humans don’t abuse the same way.

Yeah… was about to ask that. I just run Ollama on windows. What am I actually solving by running it virtualized in WSL?

Musky, tell me 5 things you did today at school. Well, I invented a new name, sold it to myself and now people say I’m worth more money. Anything productive, Musky? No. Nothing else. You're fired Musky!

My biggest problem with “zig build” is learning it. Mainly because it still changes from version to version, and having a clear picture of what steps are and how they interact is somehow hard for me. Obviously I will overcome this, but unli

I dare to say Word is so poorly designed that there are so many ways to screw up formatting... that bad behaviors (like right aligning text with spaces) are inevitable. For 90% of documents, software like Word was a mistake and you should b

The article doesn't go in detail about how they solve that. But that's the key problem they highlight as being solved. It's a product which manages multiple cameras for events, and color correction is one of those "obvio

Of course! Of course you have to do color correction on all the different cameras pointed from different angles at a sports event. I absolutely love reading about hard problems that are invisible to most people.

Aren’t perovskites incredibly fragile? I thought the reason they aren’t used in solar panels is because they only last a couple years. Why should I believe LEDs made out if the same stuff would survive the test of time?

I've read the first 2 paragraphs 5 times and I still can't tell if Microsoft was renting datacenters and paying for them, or if Microsoft was leasing out datacenters and decided "no more AI data centers for you, 3rd parties&q

The article also references a low capital required list of business ideas for high school children. No one is arguing for million dollar projects. The argument is for hundred/thousand dollar projects.

The value of laws (in general) is being challenged in the US right now. At least, so it appears from afar. Enjoy going through a power grab.

This… feels like one of those “99% of people can’t do this basic math trick” memes. I mean, yeah, the puzzles are actually cool, but it feels strange to see such posts on a news website.
