One minor niggle on freeing resources... I'm hoping it becomes more popular with libraries, but there's using/await using with disppse/disposeAsync which works similarly to C#'s use of using. I'm working on a d

I think some of the ADL reports in particular, I know there's other groups that I've seen in the past... with ADL in particular, there's been several cases that are either not logged, or classified as right wing when it shoul

The sometimes hot garbage I get from the AI results for technical questions in the past year or so has me not even considering them from the start... I've tried github copilot (whatever the default engine is) and OpenAI and just found

The past few weeks, Claude has started doing that as well... ie recognizing my preference to use Deno for scripting or React+mui when scaffolding a ui around something. I've been using the browser/desktop for planning sessions on

I like Claude a lot for general and technical questions... I like xAI for some of that as well, especially for very current event summaries. I will say with Claude that I often have to make sure to give it the context of a question for it t

I'm there with you, but only been using it a couple months now. I find that as long as I spend a fair amount of time with Claude specifying the work before starting the work, it tends to go really well. I have a general approach on h

Right leaning news orgs, sure... but not "unbiased" statistics bodies that tend to get referenced.

At some scales, Obama was right... a lot of companies that do plastic extruded parts also do 3D printing for lower volume fulfillment. You can also do some types of parts that you couldn't make through extrusion.

I was a little tongue and cheek, but also serious. No left-wing violence is generally labelled as such... If it's a left-wing anti-govt group, still gets labelled as right-wing violence, for example, because anti-govt always labelled

On my personal desktop, I have 96gb... I've never gone over 70 or so.. but that was with a lot of services running a fairly complex system with data loaded locally. I generally don't five a f*ck about the ram I'm using day t

And the likes of Zed save so much ram over VS Code... oh, wait...

It all gets categorized as right-wing violence anyways.

I was mostly meaning the Wordpad name, not the original incantation of the tool... the only legacy I might support if it was Wordpad as a markdown editor, would be to import RTF/Doc files only supporting what can cleanly adapt to markd

You could still use the name Wordpad, without using the legacy code for it...

On a serious note... with AI, I feel I'm getting about a 5x improvement on average in terms of productivity.

No, it's because 50k reads of settings are happening with a SQL Table in memory that's queried via SQL statement instead of a key/value hashtable. (real world experience, I think it was close to 28k reads, but the point stand

Or at least improving the shared browser ui / chromeless experience for "app" installs. I think that Tauri is pretty reasonable as well, weak link being Linux currently.

Oh it's still pretty stupid, and I think they should have simply resurrected the Wordpad name for this, and maybe a conversion utility for opening doc/rtf files to markdown in the editor for older file support.

It's still annoying to have it by default even if you do make use of it.

TBF, a lot of people used to keep portable apps like this... then IT started locking down even being able to mount a USB storage device. I used to do this for my email and mail profile with a portable Thunderbird. I even worked on an app i

FWIW, Notepad has had support for BoM detection and wide-characters (UTF-16/UCS-16) for some while. That said, IMO, most simple editors at this point should default to UTF-8 encoding and only LF for line endings.

by tracker1 8mo ago
I think Dave (of Dave's Garage) did this just a few months ago... I think there were some short-comings regarding wide character support (BoM detection, etc)... but it was pretty much a working Notepad.exe implementation. FWIW, you can

If this was actually (pre)installed with Windows, I wouldn't mind the changes to notepad nearly as much.

At this point I really think GitHub should formally publish their flavor as well as a default implementation. It's likely the single most widely used variant online at this point. I know there are others and there are fine points. I

I still say this is stupid AF, and that notepad should stay as simple as reasonable as a plain text editor and they should have resurrected "WordPad" for this purpose if they wanted it in Windows. I'm mixed on the enhancemen

No, it's like giving someone a set of keys to your car, and they take it for a drive.

I don't know about that... I like Rust a lot... but I also like a lot of things about C# or TS/JS... I'll still reach for TS first (Deno) for most things, including shell scripting.

Can't speak for go... but for the handful of languages I've thrown at Claude Code, I'd say it's doing the best job with Rust. Maybe the Rust examples in the wild are just better compared to say C#, but I've had a m

Wordpress is something that I cannot believe hasn't been displaced by a service that uses a separate application for editing and delivery. It seems like something like vercel/cloudflare could host the content-side published as a w
