They were probably telling the truth. It’s pretty common to have to register hotel/hostel stays with the authorities, and it’s increasingly uncommon to own a flatbed scanner - so what did you expect them to do, pull out a DSLR?

Not to mention that even though you can always refactor later, will you really? It’s much easier not to. In my experience, hobbyist Rust projects end up using unwrap and panic all over the place, and it’s a giant mess that nobody will eve

I'm not that worried about Mapy.cz/.com becoming useless unless you pay, to be honest. (Maybe they'll make me look foolish for that.) The developer is Seznam, which is kind of like the Czech homegrown equivalent of Google&#x2

Absolutely, but the ability to perform complex math in one step seems like a good indicator that it isn’t just a convincing conversational autocomplete anymore.

I totally disagree. The initial release of ChatGPT felt magical because of how cool was to be able to hold a natural, fluid conversation with a computer. But it was an extremely stupid computer beneath that veneer of conversational intellig

The client's POST requests should just include the message the user sent, not the entire chat history. The chat history should live on the server. Trusting the client to provide an accurate history is bad security.

Yeah, I can only imagine what removing an element from the middle of a thousand-element array of entities would do. This has always been a performance weak point for React, but React trees aren’t typically rebuilt from the root 60 times a s

I mean I believe this framework can be more succinct in some cases, but the line count differences here seem to come down to the Hyper versions having very long lines…

let uri = get_uri_from_stdin(); networking_library::make_request(uri); How is the compiler supposed to prune that?

Did they post it before the cardinals came out onto the balcony to make the announcement? If so, that’s impressive. If not, I assume they were just watching the livestream like everyone else.

There’s no “market” for Citi Bikes. It’s a monopoly run under contract for the city.

by rafram 1y ago
I do think Citi Bike should be cheaper (and not run for Lyft’s profit), but some of the arguments here are suspect. For instance: > Another revenue source? The bill itself. The savings from Mamdani’s free bus pilot led to a 30-40% increa

"This" = Polycompiler (the OP project), not Haxe. Polycompiler appears to be intended as a toy/experiment, so it doesn't really make sense to compare it to Haxe.

by rafram 1y ago
This seems to be intended as an interesting experiment (in the same genre as things like quines). There are obviously more production-ready ways to compile code for multiple runtimes.

> In terms of performance, Biome is over 15 times faster than ESLint, again thanks to its Rust-based, multi-threaded architecture. No doubt also thanks to only having a tiny fraction of the feature set.

Using "Java-based" as a smear is pretty silly. The IntelliJ platform is an extremely solid piece of software, clunkiness and all. It does everything pretty well, with very little need for config fiddling or third-party plugins.

Hah. Unroll your loops manually to give the compiler a break!

Awesome game. Good to see the code is authentically bad for an indie game of that era.

These products are not complicated at their core — you can pretty much just drop in something like Monacopilot [1] and be 80% of the way there. But the last 20% is a real slog, and it mostly comes down to handling edge cases (bracket closin

I think it’s legitimate to ask why these dependencies are necessary. LLMs have created whole new classes of vulnerabilities, and things like a GitHub client (which downloads arbitrary data/code) and a templating engine (which executes

This is cool, but does no one even look at what libraries they're shipping anymore? I mean, why does this Clippy-style LLM interface bundle: - A JavaScript implementation of the Jinja templating language - A full GitHub API client - A

That's a lot of back-and-forth to produce something that's functionally equivalent to your original text, only slightly worse.

That’s globally, not in the US. It was barely released in the US at all.

I had never heard of Ne Zha 2, but a quick search shows that it only had a limited release in the US and made a tiny $20 million at the box office. Unlikely that Trump is making decisions based on that.

They were already “replaced” by the internet decades ago, but people keep calling. As the article explains, there are still people in the US without access to the internet or knowledge of how to use it, as well as a lot of people who just w
