Why are people in this thread being so incessantly cynical? I expect more out of HN. I get that some wish Zed had other priorities, but the features being touted sound really promising. Of course it's just marketing until we get an act

I'm on macOS, but the core editor is far from unusable. I think it's unfair to call it that. Zed is my daily driver and I'm pretty happy with it. I often switch over to other editors to do things Zed can't, but it's

Because git kind of sucks, in my humble opinion. We deal with it, but even with options like jj, it always feels like you're settling. Git works, and we are familiar with it, but is it much more than that? Our baseline expectation shou

I hear you, and that's a perfectly valid reason to leave. Even if your company left for righteousness reasons rather than reliability, supporting businesses based on your morals is a commendable thing. I just think GitHub is a long way

I think people trying to move off GitHub are being over righteous. There are far worse companies than GitHub. People acting like this company is the Nazi regime are being ridiculous. GitHub (like most of tech) is rather progressive, and t

You can argue that they deserve less time, or that politics shouldn't be a part of their sentencing (I'd agree with you on both counts) but this isn't a First Amendment thing.

That $5 return doesn't actually materialize the way you're framing it. Even if your 94x multiple held perfectly (a big if), Google's "return" here is unrealized appreciation on an illiquid, minority stake. They can&

I agree with you--this is my whole point. This deal can't just be financial engineering, since that wouldn't make sense. They must be getting something out of this, i.e. compute. Google is buying compute because they need it. That

That's what I'm saying though. They must be getting something out of this deal, otherwise why would they be going through with it? The explanation that this is just financial engineering (which to me, means neither Google nor Sp

But Google loses $11 billion per year, and they gain $50 billion... in stock? As far as I know they really will be paying $11 billion annually in liquid cash to SpaceX (not a small ask) starting this year, and all they get in return is more

Unrelated, but this post has a level of rigor you rarely see nowadays. I think it deserves to be commended for that. HN relatively, is a very intellectual part of the internet, yet even still, it's really common to see very uneducated

Years are a pretty short time frame as it relates to technology, though. Even for software. The solution might be well out of grasp now, but think 10, 20, 100 years from now. Somebody smart with a new perspective will eventually come around

More than React, I'm interested in the question of how to best write UI through code, in general. Even though I'm a fan of React, and use it for practically every web application I build, my biggest and most obvious issue has been

That doesn't mean he was lying. Just that things changed. It was uncertain then, and not so uncertain now.

Software is only as good as the end result; it doesn't matter how we get there. There is reason to be suspicious of LLMs, but people should stop getting so wrought up over _how_ the Bun team writes their software, until they have compl

This is so awesome. Can you setup wildcards? Like for example *.[name].san-fransisco.ca.us? That way I can do this once for my own name and have it setup for all future needs as well.

That is, excluding Microsoft users.

People are trying to “make the best software”, though. I think the Quixotic accelerationists of AI are more or less a vocal minority of the people who make software, and the choice of online APIs over local systems is largely a choice made

How do I get started if I don't even know the notes yet though?

Yes, essentially. It's been a while since I've written Rust, but I am pretty sure that's (calling C from Rust) already possible. So imagine whatever Rust has with C but with many other languages.

If we get the Bun-ification of every package manager and language ecosystem that would be an awesome thing. This is a great trend.

They aren't saying affordable housing isn't needed. Just that the method for making housing affordable shouldn't be trying to make the current housing supply cheaper. And from this is where you get "rent-control is a t

Would be useful if comparable scores for performance are added, perhaps from arena.ai or ARC. I know scores can be imperfect, but it would be nice to be able to easily see what the best model your machine can handle is.

I'm not trying to dispute this though. Although I appreciate the clarity, I am aware of the web's past. The only point I was trying to make was that this project could be better achieved by an LLM if spacejam.com 's HTML is
