> C# or Java don't have this, nor can they compile C code and seamlessly interoperate with it — but in D, this is effortless. C# C interop is pretty smooth, Java is a different story. The fact that C# is becoming the GC language i

IMHO D just missed the mark with the GC in core. It was released in a time where a replacement for C++ was sorely needed, and it tried to position itself as that (obvious from the name). But by including the GC/runtime it went into a c

Is that sarcasm ? Dump a bunch of JSON from llm proxy and commit it ? Sounds like billion dollar secret sauce to me.

I get where you're coming from and if this was a package I'd agree - but having this built in/part of the tooling is nice - one less dependency - bash isn't as ubiquitous as you assume.

They are using this to virtue signal - but in reality it's just not compatible with their businesses model. Anthropic is mainly focusing on B2B/Enterprise and tool use cases, in terms of active users I'd guess Claude is dista

That's a perfect example of making it overcomplicated, just in the FP direction. C# uses exceptions for error handling. It has it's own control flow primitives. C# developers know how to work with it, everything else uses it. Why

I think what you said is a healthy progression : write dumb code -> figure out it doesn't scale -> add a bunch of clever abstraction layers -> realize you fucked yourself when you're on call for 12 hours trying to fix a m

I can't say for sure because I don't know the full situation, but I've heard a similar story a few times and IMNSHO looking at it as "they made the wrong choice initially" is off because it assumes that a C# team co

I think by the time people are willing to spend that kind of money we'd have to be in AGI territory and at that point any economic bets are off - investing in AI feels strange for that reason - I don't see a world where the slop b

I'd like to use this kind of setup but unfortunately every time I try there's just soo many annoying edge cases that are wasting my time. Especially when I need to do FE/Mobile - but even BE has gotchas. I guess it depends on

As much as I love the idea of moving to Linux - Mac hardware is like two years ahead of PC currently in pretty much any regard aside from gaming. I keep looking for an iteration where it makes sense to switch but currently the intel core 3

I get the OP is off base with his remark - but at the same time maintained by Google means shit in practice. AFAIK they have a bunch of production infra on protobuff/gRPC - not so sure about flatbufferrs which came out of the game dev

But Apple must take 30% of your revenue to maintain this level of quality. Don't you know that your parents using an Android would get scam infested phones because having unlocked app distribution prevents this kind of quality experien

You can't really compare to human performance because the failure modes and performance characteristics are so different. In some instances you'll get results that are shockingly good (and in no time), in others you'll have a

Yes, same thing, also I find Gemini to be better at search and non-coding tasks - which was my only use case for GPT - coding was always Claude.

Why does this have to be TV based and not baked into YouTube app ? Considering how addictive YouTube scrolling is, and how quickly algorithm captures kids it should be mandatory. My PS5 has play time built in.

It's nearly impossible to block YouTube on a smart TV without third party apps, even worse on non-android ones. And the app is not uninstallable. I don't think this is b-tier devs, feels like intentionall neglect.

This sets a bad precedent. I'm a software contractor from EU, but I don't usually work for EU clients, and I don't want to see the trade wars spill into contracting/dev work - but fully expect it given current trends.

If it was just one app or even two I would agree but there's : - Netflix - HBO max - Sky Showtime - Amazon Prime - Apple TV+ - Disney+ This is just the stuff I watched this year. Add in all the region locks, also not all the services

What value proposition exactly ? If you're comparing to similar build quality laptops you're looking at price for two devices vs one with HW upgrades. And you can't even compare it to a premium device. And worst of all you ca

Services are 25% and are the only one growing/they can grow - that means all focus is going to be on expanding that revenue = enshitification. Hardware is now purely a way to get you on to the app store - which is why iOS is so locked

A large % of their revenue comes from app store/services and they have incentives to lock you into the ecosystem, sell you digital shit and take a cut off of everything. I saw an ad for apple gaming service in my iphone system settings

Can they double the memory lanes without switching socket ? If not I feel like PC is going to fall behind even further compared to Apple chips. Having ram on chip sucks for repairability but 500gb/s main ram bandwidth is insane. They s
