That’s mostly a problem for obnoxious people, honestly.

Making await flatten promises was kind of questionable. But that’s my main beef.

Thank you! Even what’s there is going to be really useful to me but I’ll continue to look forward to a full-fat implementation.

AFAICT, this means you won’t be able to define Either<string, string>, which is definitely a thing you sometimes want to do.

It would be nice if any display API actually covered the entire API with the exception of the actual OS API…

The Windows team is talking to DevDiv again? Satan's putting on his ice skates right now.

You’re right, it’s a valid data point. But the U.K. government report is also a data point, and the Firefox report is a data point, and they suggest that it is, indeed, significantly better than current generation models. Maybe curl is sign

Yeah, it’s worth reminding people every so often that the guys who run SQLite are weirdos. Even if it is, hands down, the best product in its class. And yes, it’s basically a paraphrase of the Rule of St Benedict.

Smart. You very much do not want your nation’s security entangled with an organisation with such marked and explicit political stances.

IME: less than you’d think. I know one major C# project that’s only half completed its migration and that huge (both in terms of what’s been achieved and what still needs doing). There’s another that keeps it for the front end because it ru

When the Orion series is good, it’s very fun. IIRC he also goes to Jericho six months after Troy because why not?

I desperately want to slap a huge “citation needed” on that first paragraph.

I’ve seen it fairly convincingly argued that he wasn’t!

Ben Bova hypothesized that Homer was actually describing early siege towers, but given the veracity of many mundane parts of the story it seems unlikely.

Is there a good way of adding in your own rules to the review? I’m always in the market for better review tools but I also need to check against internal coding stands and expectations,

I mean, we can read the Firefox article to get some hard data on this: * Yes, they were already finding stuff with Opus 4.6 * However, their breakdown was 1/3 traditional methods, 1/3 Mythos and 1/3 every other AI model. To p

There’s a guy from my parent’s generation who smoked. A lot. Extremely decent guy, one of the reasons I made it through my own childhood in one piece. He’s been clean for ten years. He tells me he can barely remember a 20 year stretch of hi

I'm guessing there's no likelihood of a regular Clojure equivalent of this?

This is like saying a +5 sword is useless because you still miss on a one. We’ve got to think about expected outcomes. Because if ahe’s merging five solid PRs to your three, loudly complaining about the one she saw was rubbish and threw awa

Using Claude has highlighted, for me, a number of issues with terminal apps like Claude Code. You can’t easily see the status of lots of instances, you can’t easily search for instances, you can’t get one instance to start another instance

A few more years and we might be able to approach Atari ST levels of MIDI performance…

Thing is, it comes after both. Maybe it is just being a jack of all trades, but something made it success when the others remain fairly niche.

People undoubtedly said this was not realistic in many car-clogged European cities before some actually did it. “Realism” here is just a measure of the current number of votes you have for making things better.

They're not really that interesting. They're "reduce transformers". So, take a reduction operation, turn it into an object, define a way to convert one reduction operation into another and you're basically done. 99%

These days, it’s mostly C#. It’s got one of the most sophisticated list processing modules of any language I know of, you can fairly easily write heavily immutable code. It’s a bit niche because Microsoft but it’s nonetheless solid. My down

Here’s one: Mike Rettig wrote a great post about this in the early days, long since lost to time. Didn’t take that much note of it at the time but grew increasingly convinced over time: shared memory primitives are a bad idea. We would have
