Python with a strict linter and type checker (eg ruff with the right lints on and ty with its stricter settings, or strict pyright if performance isn't too bad) works very well. Most of Python strengths (concise, large ecosystem, well

Gleam has been stable for over two years, so maybe it's been long enough that LLMs have internalised the documentation. Given it's a language that doesn't really contain any groundbreaking ideas[1] (the closest is 'use&#

That's wrong. Both Claude Code and Codex have C-p/C-n as down/up.

You can't feasibly read all posts about AI in the world and analyse each one individually with the level of care you prescribe. You have to apply some heuristics to decide what to read, and someone being consistently wrong in the past

If you fervently posit a theory but its predictions fail, why would anyone believe it?

How do you usually collaborate with other authors? I don't know your area, but it's common to use Overleaf to collaborate on papers, and you're stuck with LaTeX there. I wrote the first draft of my thesis in Typst, but then c

What if you're on Windows where it's much less convenient? Also, latex and others substitute that for the proper dash, so one might do it out of habit. Also also,it's en-dash, not n-dash. And it's correct in British Eng

Regarding the water thing, David Foster Wallace once said this: There are these two young fish swimming along and they happen to meet an older fish swimming the other way, who nods at them and says “Morning, boys. How’s the water?” And the

It still uses Arc. The original implementation was written in Racket, then rewritten in Common Lisp and run on SBCL.

> How many people have updated Claude/Bun to the latest version By default, Claude Code updates itself all the time without asking for permission, so I'd say most users are on the latest versions.

Anthropic's C compiler was a proof of concept[1], so it makes sense that it was abandoned. [1] What it actually proved is up for debate.

It does if you reuse the error variable, which is very common. Example: https://go.dev/play/p/ofL2fG-OIcC This can't happen in Rust.

> LLMs are trained on vast quantities of code that violate Rust soundness in safe code. Why is your reasoning behind this? Most Rust code in the wild does not use unsafe. Most projects don't have a single line of unsafe.

Even a relatively barebones systems language like Zig has std.json. Odin has it too.

Hammerspoon is amazing, and LLMs are very good at writing configuration for it. I'm quite happy with my config.

Creatine raises creatinine in kidney function tests. For a healthy person, this isn't a problem, but if you already have high creatinine (from a kidney problem), it makes it harder to interpret test results.

Did you skip the part where they describe the human pipeline the documentation goes through before publishing?

You don't need to "justify" Zig's existence. It exists, and people like it, and that's enough. IMHO, I wouldn't use it, but there are valid use cases, even if it's "just" a nicer C.

The solution to this is editions/epochs, like Rust. You can set your project to the 2025 edition and be sure that, even if future versions introduce breaking changes, they will not affect your project; it will continue to compile as be

I imagine it could, eventually, if not now. The Bun translation used Anthropic's best model, cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, and still contained a large number of unsafe blocks. Maybe if they left the agent running for longer, u
