Congrats on the launch! As someone who is ignorant and not following all of the recent releases. Isn't Claude-code a proprietary version of https://aider.chat/ in the first place?

It's not N^Y, it's N^2 as we are talking about the reverse of sqrt which is N^(1/2). N^2 == N*N != N+N

Though as I said in the rest of my comment, the 2+2 unwrap only works for N=2. So it's not a general unwrap, but rather a specific example that happens to work for N=2.

by tasn 2y ago
Because sqrt is the reverse of 2^2 and 2*2 (which is 2^2 unwrapped). Though there's no direct relationship between sqrt and 2+2 other than that it happens to be equal to 2*2. Or put differently: N = sqrt(N^2) or sqrt(N * N) for every p

I agree it potentially wasn't a conscious choice, but it's still interesting nonetheless. I wasn't criticizing him for this, but rather fascinated that this is the variant that was chosen.

Maybe it's just me, but writing sqrt(2+2) instead of sqrt(2*2) or sqrt(2^2) was such an odd choice. It obfuscates the reason why 2=sqrt(2+2), and unnecessarily so.

A bit meta, but I love how the AI code generation tools show you the code being live-edited rather than just having a loading indicator. It's very visually pleasing.

I had to write (heavily improve? I don't remember) the React Native guide when I release my first RN app there (non RN apps were easy). Though I assume/hope things are better now?

Been a happy f-droid user for as long as I can remember (and even published some packages there). Thanks and kudos to the f-droid team!

One thing I wish redis had is the ability to extend itself beyond its memory capacity. So if I run out of memory, just move some stuff to disk. Or if I'm using persisted redis, just free up some memory. Maybe this is it.

As long as you don't literally sell dollar bills, it can actually be quite hard.

They are not releasing all of the hostages, only 33 out of 98. Edit: only 22 of the 33 are estimated to be alive, the rest being dead bodies. Not sure what are the estimates for the other 65.

I've always wanted to switch to qubes, but it just feels so constraining. It's safer to never leave the house, but I don't want to live in a self imposed prison. On the other hand, the isolation provided by containers and fla

Back in the day it used to be the way to do it. Web servers would serve example.com/foo/index.html when visiting example.com/foo/ and it was the easy way of not having example.com/foo.html as your URL. Later on Web

Not quite. The problem is that when you involve hardware, things are exponentially harder. When you tie it with content streaming, it's essentially a losing battle. Hardware: makes cracking much much harder and out of reach for a lot o

The end goal is DRM all the way to the screen. No capture cards will be allowed. It's a cat and mouse game, but I wouldn't discount these efforts as a mere speed bump. Screen enforced DRM will make things much harder. A motivated

I explained why in the rest of the comment. Reusable components, code generation, etc. are a godsend. Copy pasting sections across and within pages, and not being able to generate code is hell. Simple is better, but bare doesn't necess

I very much doubt this is the TikTok algorithm. 1. It doesn't even claim to be that. 2. It's over a year old - so even if it was, this is no longer it. 3. There's zero incentive for them to release it, but every incentive to

My info is maybe a bit dated, as it's been a while since we wrote this hackery. We also adopted SQLModel at some point but we had to patch it to work well (I think some of my contributions are now in upstream). As for some of the hacks

I think you're missing the point of the blog a bit, as the `1 + "2" == "12"` type of issues wasn't it. It definitely also sucks and much more common than you make it sound (especially when refactoring) but it&#
