in terms of something i'm shipping to users, i would much rather have to worry about the nuances of TOML than of YAML. with TOML, i don't have to worry about e.g. remote code execution because someone figured out a clever way to t

We will have to see whether Threads can maintain daily active users the way Twitter and Mastodon can. At the moment, I'm not seeing any activity on Threads that is "native" to Threads, meaning that it isn't just Instagra

From what I remember, reading the conversations over the years...the issue was twofold: 1. Because `require()` is "just a magic function", it can't be statically analyzed by a JS runtime prior to actually running the code. Th

I also track my dotfiles in a Git repo, but I only track my home directory. Made a tool to help out with some of the more arcane commands: https://github.com/tubbo/homer . I'm currently rewriting it in Rust, which

Does macOS count? There are large chunks of the system that are impenetrable in real-world use. For example, in order to install the `yabai` window manager, here's what you need to do on your system: - https://github.com&#x2

There's also the process worker pool model, in which a master process forks a number of worker processes to handle all requests. Unicorn (for Ruby) does things this way...in part because when it was released, Rails apps couldn't h

In Manhattan at least, trash is picked up every single day. And yet there's still tons of garbage on the street. It's a problem of scale. Honestly, I got no problems with the rats. They're kinda cute actually.

Long-time Vim/NeoVim user here...about 20 or so years with it being my daily driver for the last 8. As soon as I found Helix, I was unsure whether it would become my new editor, but I've been using it every day for a few months an

In my experience, as another longtime user of vim and now using helix as my daily driver, it does take a bit of getting used to. But once you grok the whole idea of "selection first, then action", it becomes a bit easier to deal w

Does reading software code count as "using software"? I personally don't consider myself subject to a license when I'm reading public code on GitHub. GitHub Copilot and Codex AI seem to be doing nothing more than reading

I thought Elon's tweet was pretty funny, not just because "X" is already taken by X.com which he founded, but also because we already kinda tried an "everything app". It's called Facebook, and the reason why ot
