> it's kinda abandonware at this point That's sad. I'm a fan of rxi's work, including this one.

Why do you like gpt-oss-120b less now? What replaced it?

It really isn't comparable. Sure, nixpkgs is huge, but the surface area for what you need to understand and work with is considerably smaller. They aren't even really in the same domain anyways. I was able to get very comfortable

I use NixOS with nginx + acme / caddy, coredns and no docker anywhere. It's extremely homogeneous, easy to scale out (add another flake output, deploy to a new server, update DNS records). You could easily automate some of that wi

The driftless area certainly has some truly beautiful parts, but my statement is less about the homogeneity across the entire region and more about the distance between any notable landmarks. Hills alone aren't really that interesting

The Midwest in particular is extremely homogeneous and flat, mostly plains and farmland for hundreds of miles. The West cost has more in 15 miles than the Midwest has in 100, on average. There are pockets here and there, but not enough to w

And trash your short-term memory? Nah, smoking weed is straight up bad for most people.

That violates the worse is better principle which has held true since the inception of software. Switching costs are real. It's not that hard to make an improvement, but it's very hard to make an improvement that justifies the c

It was specifically broken like 4~ years ago and fixed within the last month or so.

I tried evil-mode for awhile, but it had too many edge cases that behave differently so I went back /shrug

Honestly, there are more "modern" editors with even more intuitive flows. Helix being one. I think the ideal editor for me would be something like a mix of Helix's shortcuts with structural regexp like in vis.

accuweather.com was the biggest one, though it looks like they fixed it sometime in the last month.

I switched to FireFox like 8 years ago, but to be completely honest there are maybe 2-3 very important sites that straight up do not work for me at all with FireFox. Like, completely unusable, not just weird graphical issues.

I mostly agree with GP on stateful controls, but emacs has never clicked for me like vim did. Perhaps it's because switching between modes feels more natural than a simple toggle.

I don't recall there being regular, industry-wide layoffs effecting software engineers for basically the entirety of my career up until the last couple of years. I'm sure my memory is bad and there's data to refute that, but

Lustre is great

Oh I hadn't thought about that!

Rust has the todo!() macro but no todo type. I use todo! constantly and would probably make heavy use of a todo type as well...

It looks like they do link to libc on OpenBSD hosts, but other hosts directly invoke syscalls

by packetlost 4mo ago
There’s only one implementation so there isn’t a meaningful distinction here, but sure. It’s faster than Python and Ruby, about as fast as non-JIT Lua.

It is not libc based.
82.
by packetlost 4mo ago
In theory, sure, but there's no way Hare is going to ever officially support Windows. Even if the compiled backend supports the target, the language still needs to abstract over the OS interfaces and implement syscalls.

by packetlost 4mo ago
It's a scripting language, so it's not going to compete with anything compiled or JITed, but it has a pretty efficient threaded bytecode interpreter (that is almost more interesting than the language itself!). It's certainly

Ok, but now I want to embed Janet in a TCL program

I don't see how this is even remotely true. Unless there's some super breakthrough into a fundamentally different architecture, there's not really a path to a 50% reduction in price, much less a 99% reduction.

by packetlost 4mo ago
Oh, that's actually really useful for my... inefficient clone of nixpkgs and the linux kernel...

by packetlost 4mo ago
That would require technology that hasn't yet been created to be created. Tbh I'm happy with just having enough token spend to use on side projects for now.

It's consolidating into fewer, higher value assets. Over 40% of the S&P500 is in companies that are heavily (potentially over ) invested in AI.

Considering I have one friend who just lost data due to a OneDrive bug less than a month ago, I'm going to say no. I have zero tolerance for data loss.

it really is too bad. All of the major tech companies' competitors are junk. Google Drive is the least bad of the bunch (out of, say, OneDrive, iCloud, and formerly Amazon Drive), but it's still not great to deal with. DropBox rea
