You are reaching quite a bit, and misrepresenting too. But it's actually as simple as: Jarred's post was mature and didn't throw shade; Andrew's threw quite a bit of it while insisting it did not. I and many others don&#

To comment separately: lack of familiarity is true of course but do consider your bias -- familiarity should come quickly and easily. Long gone are my days where I wanted to wear badges of honor and suffer through difficult tooling, and I a

Super curious then, and I stand corrected. You can put the `cargo clean gc` command on a daily/weekly schedule then, or configure the `gc` option in your Cargo config. Or set `CARGO_UNSTABLE_GC=true` in your shell init. Or all of the a

IMO from the info given in the OP it seems to me that they never actually needed Haskell, not playing to its strengths anyway, especially if they felt Python was an adequate replacement -- which it absolutely is not if you value the compile

I don't think it has almost anything to do with vibe-coding. When I tried Haskell and OCaml some 3 years ago, they were infuriating in terms of tooling and just needless friction (don't ask, forgot, but it was mostly around packag

Using a frontier model you can combine it writing high-quality Rust and educate you in the process. You guys were too scared, needlessly. But as others said: if Haskell was not giving you too much in terms of excellent typing system then

Wrong assumption. Not all AI usage leads to slop.

I know you're sarcastic but still: that is a win-win indeed.

You're exaggerating quite a lot. Biggest I've seen the cargo directory after 3 months of active Rust development was ~17GB. You can also limit it with an env var. I have capped mine at 10GB.

With respect, it's difficult to interpret "libertarian sensiblities" as something else than "political leanings". Now "liberal" is a much more general -- I wouldn't necessarily call that political --

Of all the things I expected to read today on HN, "I chose a programming language that appeals to my political leanings" was certainly not one of them.

Really depends on the concrete numbers and the projections. You could be right, I could be right, I am only saying what I've witnessed historically in general. Greed trumps a lot of other fairly rational courses of action.

by pdimitar 3mo ago
Yes: historically this is not what I have observed businesses doing. They'd fight tooth and nail to reduce expenses for the fatter profits; cost savings are seldom if ever passed to consumers.

Realistic and historically accurate: Pepsi starts collecting the extra profits with zero price reductions.

At exactly 22:50 EEST (19:50 UTC) I got the notification email from Anthropic that the "Fable 5 was disabled" incident has been resolved. Sure enough, after restarting Claude Code, I could use it straight away.

by pdimitar 3mo ago
~20:33 now and yeah, still no access.
77.
by pdimitar 3mo ago
It's 14:35 here in Eastern Europe and Fable is still not accessible for me, neither on the web UI nor inside Claude Code. Any exact times when we can expect it? The beginning of workday Pacific time, maybe?

For the reasons stated above -- that DDR5-gen hardware is expensive right now -- I'd think the DDR4-gen market will remain alive for quite a big longer. Though that's likely much more on the second-hand market side of things. Whil

The mere "enthusiast" word in your question suggests the percent is not too big. But I am not sure I get your point -- elaborate, please?

by pdimitar 3mo ago
Dropping DDR-4 is anything but meaningful. It'll easily last 10 more years, machines from this gen are still much more affordable and quite powerful. In fact for most dev and gaming workflows the difference between the DDR-4 and DDR-5

Indeed it's more like live-rewrite; features are still wanted but the rewrite heavily influences them as they go so it's juggling a lot of balls at the same time. Fable 5 was amazing at helping me with that. Opus 4.8 is... good, r

Having the mechanism does not equal guaranteeing the positive result that this mechanism theoretically allows. Politicians' whole schtick is to promise the sun and the moon and then give their buddies the lucrative government contracts

It's not that much of a tangent tbf. It's one of the things that is an endless churn in millions of codebases out there and yet no core programming language team has the courage and the grit to solve this problem. Those who tried

Fair question, and I was vague just so as not to balloon the comment. I work in a financial startup. The codebase is a mess and very much spaghettified. One rework that forced us to migrate our data model from 1:1 users<->loans to M:N

Very good quote, thank you. And it seems like propaganda worked on these people.

A lot of "us" thought quite thoroughly and, you might say, even correctly, about "how to organize work at a fundamental level". News flash: the truly influential people that hold most of the capital on the planet don&#x2
