I don't think it counts as vibe coding, since the author read every line of code and presumably also asked questions about them and looked things up about the meanings of unfamiliar keywords and functions and so on. It might be spiritu

> the ISO to install it from upstream was multiple gigabytes which seemed wild. For the record, the Guix System install media is less than 1 GB. And the Guix installer from upstream looks to be 100 MB right now.

It seems that it doesn't build with releases of GCC from April 2025 onward, at least with default settings, because it doesn't build with the C23/C++23 standards. https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport

Oh! You're right. It was way back in high school, and I think I must have learned about Latin-1 under the guise of "ASCII".

This is completely false and ahistorical. The first license associated with the term "open-source" was the MPL, which is a copyleft license. Open-source never attempted to distinguish itself from free software in terms of licensin

I'm pretty sure © and ½ are in ASCII. I think é might be, too. But anyway, I agree: there's no reason plain text shouldn't be rich.

It seems a lot of commenters have noted the boyishness or unprofessionalism of the stylistic and topical choices of the example prompts and responses. And I guess they are those things. But thanks to those choices, the page is also genuinel

I think you can do all of those in plain text as well. There are Unicode characters for those dashes and probably more

Em-dashes are only incidentally related to contrasting statements like that, too. My main use of them is quasi-parenthetical interpolation. It can be nice when you want more emphasis on the aside, or just to avoid using parens or commas if

I've only ever typed that character using a compose key: caps and then the same three periods.

As someone who uses Nix and direnv to manage development environments, the additional speed will be nice for me. I don't need rv to supply a Ruby for me at all, but just a really fast Bundler would be nice. My environment reasserts tha

Sorbet can actually make programs crash at runtime if a variable's type doesn't match its annotation, right? It's not as busted as some other gradual typing implementations.

My lazy heuristic is to use nix-locate to search through the 100k packages in Nixpkgs, e.g.: > nix-locate -r 'bin/uv' Not perfect, but sort of useful for choosing names for executables for internal corporate projects, litt

It seems pretty different in that rv waited to take inspiration from a relatively clear winner in an entirely different ecosystem, after quite some time. I think it makes sense to be optimistic.

It's not a library. It's an executable that needs to be on the PATH to use it. And the executable has the exact same name.

If you still want to package your stuff natively for the language ecosystem, you still need all the usual metadata and you also want to specify version constraints for your dependencies and so on. Typically I wire up something like uv or rv

Maybe we should have a parallel designation for this like "weights available", because this license is quite restrictive and really not comparable to models with weights released under, e.g., Apache or MIT licenses.

This also a function of the same design trends tbh. One can have a reasonably sized laptop where it's not difficult to do this by the bezel rather than the display.

If you bought even a small bluetooth speaker that sounded the same as an MBP, you'd think "this thing kinda sucks... no bass, but at least it's small; what do you expect". Either that or you aren't someone who cares

Laptops only get fingerprints on the screen, unless they're touchscreens, when they try to be stupidly thin like MacBooks do, so that the screen routinely touches the keys. It's stupid design.

The sound on MacBooks is impressively loud and clear, but it's also not actually good sound . Because it couldn't be, in that form factor. So for things where you actually care about good sound (i.e., music, movies, TV), you prob
