I did this about three months ago in response to Windows insisting again that I must link my desktop user with my Live account. I'm blown away by how viable Linux gaming is now, entirely because of money dumped in by Valve. It's o

Well done, enjoyed this a lot.

I think I just read in another comment that it uses per tab process isolation. Unless that's not what you mean by sandboxing?

Glad to see someone else say this. I feel like I'm crazy reading these replies about being ripped off. I've been working startups my whole career, earning salaries, working with good people and having fun at times. Sometimes the e

I don't believe a private sale entitles one to ignore a stock options legal rights. What are the relevant details here I'm missing?

I vaguely recall TiVO doing something like this in the 90s, and then pulling back the feature, probably because partnerships weren't as interesting when your product removed revenue...

I agree LLM powered search is useful, but I'm not sure it's the best for learning or reference. I still read quite a bit of man pages. Maybe I need the killer turnkey local LLM setup to roll up and convince me of what I'm mis

I can't remember the last time a new OS feature legitimately improved my workflow. Maybe Expose on Mac. Marginally. I don't expect anything like Recall to make me more effective . Stuff I feel that has made me more effective in 2

I've certainly seen and emulated this pattern in a lot of Go code. I don't know if I am representative of the larger community. I often use bool unless there are other error conditions (and there often are), but this article is de

Case sensitive filesystems are a mistake.

I can't think of a language that has less of these sorts of things you have to internalize than Go. Sure, they're annoying, but so many other languages have even more rough edges. Maybe you could argue Rust does because it refuses

Have you had practical success with this? It seems every discussion about Go error handling someone posts this but in all our projects it's riddled with false positives. I'm not convinced it's practically useful, though it is

I strongly agree. In principle, exceptions are a streamlined version of tossing err up the stack without any embellishment. In practice, I put cookies away in the cabinet so that I don't eat them. Humans write code, and our behaviors c

Agree with this. While I too wish that Go had better ways of handling this, there are patterns and guidelines to follow that should prevent this in practice. - Use factory functions for struct initialization where members are pointers. - Us

A lot of the "never taskers" in this comment section seemed to have never worked with the juniors I have. These are good, new software folks who genuinely don't know how to stand up basic functionality because the space is ne

Glad to see someone else reflecting on this. I've been using long form code review for the last ten years of my career with these same goals in mind: concrete and actionable generative feedback. I know other people lurk on PRs, even ou

Add to that that dictionaries are lagging indicators of meaning. If people start using cogent differently, dictionaries will catch up later, but we will all understand each other ahead of that point.

The real issue is case sensitive file systems. When do you actually want two files with the same name in different cases? That's not a human-centric design choice, Mac and Windows got this one right.

Do you suppose their 41 members split the 700 euros evenly each month or have some kind of Ramen group buy system?

But, at least for me, when I buy a book I may actually read it (maybe), and then it sits around until I manage to donate it when I move in seven years. Is it really any different from a digital purchase I forget about?

Also don't make microservices if you don't have teams that will independently own them.

What a waste of time. JAVASCRIPT works fine! This is a solution in search of a problem.

To be honest I stopped reading after that intellectually dishonest opener. I didn't mean to suggest there wasn't truth to the claim or that the market wasn't ripe for a shakeup. Interesting anecdote, too, thanks for sharing.

The article has a click bait title and then opens up with how fast the Chinese electric cars are compared to high end gas cars. Like, that's a core property of electric cars, nothing to do with incredible innovations in China...

Why aren't there more Chinese automakers of gasoline cars?

But as a commercial consumer, I still value source available offerings quite a lot. I can debug my own issues with them, I can see how well they're built and I know thousands of eyes are looking at them. Depending on the software, I ag
