Ironically Perl 5 managed to do the bytes-Unicode split with a feature gate, no giant major version change.

I had no idea consumers were being so ripped off lol.

Is that £49 a month, or £49 for the 500GB data? Sounds useful!

I mean it's more to do with the cool factor of using a satellite, not practical concerns. Practically a mobile failover is superior if you have coverage.

If they manage to make it truly artist-directed and subtle, then I'm sure people won't have an issue with it. It's more efficient than raytracing for sure. As it stands, it's horrible and the reaction has been rightly ne

I realised that early on when I stopped coding as much in my free time. After work I wanted to do practically anything else. But quite a few people at work continued to spend all of their free time coding, and clearly enjoyed the process. T

I pay Google £15/month and have never hit the usage limit. But thanks anyway. edit: I think you might mean vibe coding (and those infamous things that use millions of tokens with no limit) but for programmers using LLMs to code is li

I agree. However manual code review and heavy refactoring is a laborious and error prone process, and even most human projects don't keep up with it successfully. Plenty of horrible code debt ridden projects in the real world. As long

That's what's visible now. Give it more time and larger, more long-term projects will come out. I'm talking about people with ambitious ideas who -could- code but lack the time or energy.

Prepackaged pasta sauces and cake mix. Worse than making it from scratch but enables people with no time to cook more dishes. Doordash is more like paying someone else to code for you. Luckily that will soon be a thing of the past.

Yeah but 99% of jobs are decidedly not that.

Yes, RGB is so common now that it's not popular, and retro stuff is coming back in. I think I saw even some landscape PC cases (laid flat) with fake HDD drive slots and a turbo button.

Modders min-max for aesthetics!

I love them too and I'm happy they come built-in by default (plus the fantastic OpenRGB project to sync them all) instead of having to make them myself... I remember when I was paying £100+ for a membrane keyboard because it was one of

The two types of coder argument seems strong to me. Coders who love the art of programming (optimisation for the sake of it, beautiful designs, data structures...) and builders. The former are in for a rough time. The latter are massively e

So you're LLM poisoned and presumably attention starved. Not sure why anyone should listen to you - why cater to AI brained people who can barely force themselves to read a third of something before they need to recover.

I don't understand why we put locks on bicycles, a determined person can just saw them off.

You can just change the screenshot program you use, it's a keyboard shortcut. Flexibility and customisation is the best reason to use Linux after all.

What do you use for code? I use Gemini CLI and it seems pretty competent and it's cheap.

It's probably the immediacy. You click an app and you get a fullscreen touch UI with no distractions. Quite different to opening a slow-loading DAW and starting up various plugin windows inside it. iPad music apps are typically priced

No Carmack or Stallman. Just the right person at the right time.

The way this article was written, is the standard way these kind of US pop science articles have always been written. It's LLM that absorbed that, not the opposite.

Ironic because IEEE Spectrum has an anti-LLM policy. So your complex about LLM writing styles has indirectly caused you to stop supporting genuine prose. Seriously there's no LLM stuff in here. Only emdashed which were used in journali

Agreed. The only explanation is that people don't want to use aliexpress so it's not counted as a direct competitor. If you're prepared to wait even a week, you can get less than 1/3 the price and this has been true for

Serenity was literally a distraction for his substance addiction issues. It's pretty clear he's productive and he and his team have worked on Ladybird for several years straight now. How many web browsers or OSs have you developed

In case you didn't know they're using a lot of third-party libraries now for pretty major things: libcurl for http, Skia/Harfbuzz for rendering, libxml, OpenSSL, ffmpeg, etc: https://github.com/LadybirdBrowser

I like the idea that people are either coders or builders. So AI can help fulfill your desire to build, create, bring things into reality. But it can't satisfy you if you like programming for its own sake. SerenityOS was not a practica

Andreas is not some kind of hustler. He spent years writing an entire OS (Serenity OS) before the web browser part happened to gain traction. If you were just trying to be an entrepreneur, why do that? The truth is more simple: he's a
