Ugrep seems to be a completely new codebase, whereas RGA is a layer on top of ripgrep. Based on the benchmarks on the ripgrep github repo, rg is a bit better than 7x faster than ugrep.

I think you misunderstood me. I'm not trying to move the goalposts by suggesting "we should have a technical argument". Discussing whether the feature should even exist is itself a technical discussion. Let's use WEI as

Different strokes for different folks. Many people actively enjoy having a mass of written lore to consume, and prefer having a well-defined setting to act as a foundation to their stories. It's a safety net of sorts.

Even if LLMs take over the bulk of programming work, somebody still needs to write the prompts, and make sure the output actually matches what you wanted to achieve. That's just programming with different tools.

I find myself following only two or three different patterns in comments: There's often a fairly small kernel of very dense code that abstracts away a bunch of complexity. That code tends to have well north of a 1:1 comment to code rat

Section 230 hasn't changed or been revoked or anything, so, from what I understand, manual moderation is perfectly fine, as long as that is what it is: moderation. What the ruling says is that "recommended" content and person

Found it kind of funny that the display went all the way up to 1200 nits, which would make it a pretty high-end HDR display, but it's not actually HDR. Then I realised that these things are likely to end up being used in environments w

A kinder perspective: you only have one opportunity to prosecute, so you add all the charges you think might be relevant, and let the courts decide on guilt. I’m sure that the intent is at least somewhat cynical in some (many? Most?) cases,

No, these are microcontrollers. They're the thing you'd put inside a device that needs a tiny bit of smarts, like Raspberry Pi's debug probe[0]. The case I have for my RPi5[1] uses an rp2040 to run the thermal management logi

I think we're in violent agreement. phoboslab was downplaying their own efforts by saying that the Cross Code team customised the Impact engine a bunch. My point was that no amount of customisation can turn a bad engine into a good one
