If you know any other language, you basically already know Go (with the exception of the channels stuff). The biggest pain is the if err != nil stuff, which I know some people like but it is suboptimal in my view. While far better than C# a

Learn Go if you have to, or want to learn it. Otherwise, I don't think there is any reason to do so. I agree that it is easy to read, but less so than the language you already know.

From experience, Zig compile times are at least as fast as Go for debug builds that don't need to do linking with C libraries, etc. It does have to use LLVM for release builds however which is a lot slower.

It seems that this could have been expanded or contracted to any Fibonacci number of myths.

Back in the days of the LAMP stack, the use of Linux would have been much less obvious and thus warranted the inclusion of the "L" in the acronym. After all, leaving it out might arguably have sounded better - the AMP stack.

I don't love the appeal to romanticism portrayed in this article.

I'm unfamiliar with these stacks but including "U" / Unix seems odd. I suspect these run completely fine on Linux, Windows or macOS. Its almost like including an "E" in your stack for electricity.

I use both. Not because I am cool, but because it is cost effective for personal projects with two $20 / month plans. It is also nice to be able to see what the state of the art is like for both. Personally, I find it very interchangea

I don't know how intentional it is / was, but LLMs in general just love to hear themselves talk!

I don't think it is meant to be objectively the most efficient interface. It is more about being remarkable in a Seth Godin sense. For me I just want things to be blazing fast inside the dashboard.

I've notice that as well. If you don't know how to do something having an agent with tools is great (in general, not just PH). But, its also quite slow and imprecise. I think that having the agent act more as both a teacher and &q

It seems like an odd thing to run locally with so many dependencies.

True!

What I don't understand is, what kind of legitimate criminal would not use such techniques? Are bank robbers planning things out on iMessage? If so, presumably they won't be criminals for very long. Therefore these types of initia

I don't think $4B is reasonable for an acquihire. They must see value in the technology.

Zig is really nice. I enjoy using it a lot. Glad to hear that it is getting a little more funding.

Its hard to find a middle ground between fully understanding everything in a PR vs a vibe coding type approach. Can you understand "just a little bit" of a PR and merge it into a code base you really care about? Is it maybe fine t

While I don't know, I suspect the boy's parents do not share your views. He is able to ride a tricycle and improving.

A 2nd year project back in the day was to build a 4 bit CPU on a breadboard. We had the advantage of having an ALU IC but was still quite tough to get working!

Running AI on timesharing mainframes does seem like an odd final state for the world.

Are people still using Cursor? I haven't in at least a year but perhaps I'm in the minority.

I think a better metric these days is what percentage of code is not reviewed / understood by humans. That is the real bottleneck. Until we can stop looking at the code, AI barely matters - you are just trading quality for quantity.

It doesn't help shareholders or customers in any way however so we should not celebrate it or even simply accept that this is "the way things are". It is an error to be corrected.

I'm surprised they cared enough to do this. I'd still rather use Linux but MacBook value is incredible.

They will have to open source it. Otherwise it is impossible for anyone outside of OAI to gain any insights - basically just a Boris at this point.

I'd much rather people think deeply about summarizing their work. This helps others understand it but, more importantly, helps the developer understand what they did. If its hard to summarize, maybe it should be tightened up a little f

Probably as good as that can get is something like WSL. Microsoft put a lot into that but still not the same as just using Linux. I wish Apple / MS would do the opposite and build their OS on top of Linux but of course that will never

You may be right, its possible however that people running on Azure may use it locally for testing.

I bounce the moment I see "fascist" in your pie chart. Sorry.
