I really approach is the same way as helping my coworkers to be productive. Most of the context is spent on the initial familiarizing with the code and I just double-check that it has the right understanding, there is minimal prompting on m

I've always been more interested in the computer science and software engineering aspects. I did enjoy writing code occasionally, but overall, I was wishing I had some kind of neural implant to convert my thoughts into code. Coding age

My entire professional life, I've been dealing with coworkers who just want their code shipped. Overly complex solutions to simple problems, inefficient algorithms, nested spaghetti code. And it was hard to just plainly reject it. I ev

There was a recent post where someone said AI allows them to start and finish projects. And I find that exactly true. AI agents are helpful for starting proof of concepts. And for doing finishing fixes to an established codebase. For a lot

I was experimenting with other tools a while back and the visibility/interactivity was one of the main benefits of Claude Code. Now that it's gone, maybe I can move on and just learn to work with the new tool/model.

Same here, both Claude Code due to this change, and how Opus 4.6 is setup, they think they can do things autonomously. But in my experience, they really can't. Letting it overthink something while being on the wrong track is what leads

Except it's not. I've implemented it, over its multiple iterations, so I'm familiar with it. It's an interface to satisfy the needs of the Zig compiler. It's heavily lacking for use in server applications.

I've realized that Zig is a language, in which people can write programs in vastly different styles. And these are not really compatible. This is not unlike C++, for example. I learned Zig in my own bubble, just using my previous progr

There is the one issue which I fixed in LLVM, but it should be fixed in Zig as well, because the clobber list in Zig is typed and gives you false impression that adding x30 there is valid. But there is also another issue, x18 is a general p

I really love Zig the language, but I'm distancing myself from the stdlib. I dislike the breakage, but I also started questioning the quality of the code recently. I was working on an alternative I/O framework for Zig over the las

It doesn't say "minor" details like networking not being implemented :)

by lukaslalinsky 8mo ago
I don't want to be the negative guy, but this is news about two unfinished implementations. There is a lot of work needed for this to be considered done. For example, no networking in the GCD version yet. And as these are being impleme

I know more about Zig than C++ at this point, but it's hard to read the article seriously, if it starts with such mistakes. Zig does in fact have an HTTP client in the standard library, there is a tar reader, and realpath hasn't b

Yeah, that's not a good part, I tend to avoid it by downloading the log and looking at it that way. I find it easier and it's just on click.

I really wonder in which universe people are living. GitHub Actions was a godsend when it was first released and it still continues to be great. It has just the right amount of abstractions. I've used many CIs in the past and I'd

You get a computer that's compatibles with Linux, you install Ubuntu LTS, and you just keep using it. After a couple of years, you reinstall it. If you are a power user able to prepare the boot USB and boot from it, you do it yourself,

Yes, but if they need to write a document, the larger screen and keyboard make it more usable.

Maybe Windows should remain as a professional tool for using these applications. Most people don't need them. They need a web browser and not much else. Maybe some games for kids. Something like Ubuntu can serve those needs just fine.

Does your mother know how to install a device driver on Windows? None of the non-technical people I know can't fix anything on their computers. I've been doing experiments over the last 10 or so years, I've been borrowing my

I was super interested in the non-assembly coroutine approach, as I'm working on a similar project for Zig, but it turns out it just embeds x86_64 binary. Why is that better than having assembly there?

I think the split between vibe coding and AI-assisted coding will only widen over time. If you ask LLMs to do something complex, they will fail and you waste your time. If you work with them as a peer, and you delegate tasks to them, they w

Speaking of asynchronous agents, what do people use? Claude Code for web is extremely limited, because you have no custom tools. Claude Code in GitHub Actions is vastly more useful, due to the custom environment, but ackward to use interact

Isn't WASM more suitable for game scripting? It's the first time I read about using emulation of a real CPU architecture as a scripting solution.

Linux API/ABI doesn't cover the entire spectrum that Windows API covers. There is everything from lowest level kernel stuff to the desktop environment and beyond. In Linux deployments, that's achieved by a mix of different li

The most fun aspect of programming for me is designing something unique, whether it's an algorithm to some niche problem, or a simple API over a complex system. LLMs help me express my ideas in terms of specific code, sometimes it&#x27

Unless the implementation is really bad, you actually have more control over these knobs than you would have over sliders. You could technically remove the knob completely, replace it with just textual number you click on and move your mous

I run PostgreSQL+Patroni on Kubernetes where each instance is a separate StatefulSet pinned to dedicated hosts, with data on local ZFS volumes, provisioned by the OpenEBS controller. I do this for multiple reasons, one is that I find it eas

I'm not a cloud-hosting fan, but comparing RDS to a single instance DB seems crazy to me. Even for a hobby project, I couldn't accept losing data since the last snapshot. If you are going to self-host PostgreSQL in production, mak
