> Trump cannot instruct Google to put picture of dogs on their homepage. I'm sorry, but that was a horrible example. Corporations have no obligation to donate money to the ballroom yet Google has donated millions.

Well, I wouldn't use this since I have my own box. In case its useful: - I run hermes on the box and it has some scheduled cron jobs. - I gave it an account on a custom Git forge. It cannot commit without my direct permission, though i

I started writing a Scheme interpreter about a year ago and got pretty far. I dropped it a few months back since I got a new job. I'm thinking of getting back and am wondering if the niche (and difficult for me to implement) features a

Zig gives you more control than Rust, which should theoretically lead to a higher performance ceiling. There's not much magic in Zig. Keep hitting goto-definition and you can eventually see the OS switch statements and syscalls.

Try it if you want full control over every memory and IO operation and "drop". If you hit "goto-definition", you eventually get to see the OS switch statements and syscalls. There's not much magic. Do not try it if

When I joined in 2016, it CitC would make it look (and still does) like you had the entire monorepo on your local filesystem on your machine. Git5 would copy some directories but builds would still fallback to files from the monorepo if you

From the user interface perspective though, it does essentially look like you've pulled all of google3 into your disk.

Luckily, they still support the text editor + CLI tools workflow so I can still use Emacs effectively.

We've moved on from Git5. Although it was a pain, I kind of liked that Git5 made the monorepo less monolithic to my editor.

Yeah, under my desk. I rarely remote which is a good excuse for me to disconnect from work anyways.

I tried going from a budget Lenovo Linux to a Macbook Pro after graduating from university. The hardware was solid, but it is probably my most disappointing purchase. Right now, I'm extremely satisfied with my workhorse Linux desktop a

Do you have a screenshot? I just tried Zed out on Linux and biggest issue was that it assumed an rgb subpixel layout. - https://pasteboard.co/ZDnQm80dHANx.png - Top is wezterm which is correct. - Bottom is Zed which uses rg

I'm too dumb as well. I flipped this to make it about text editors. Personally, I love my Emacs: This, like almost all writing about fonts, is bewildering to me. It just doesn't matter. For me, there are just 3 text editors in the

"valid security strategy" Did you mean reliability? At this point I don't care if my server gets DDoS, but may be more convinced by security practices.

I haven't looked to deeply, but I haven't noticed any performance impact. Inlining probably helps too.

Zig makes the standard library accessible. Just by clicking "go to definition", you run into all the weird cases. For example, apparently the plan9 OS gets special page_allocator handling: https://ziglang.org/docum

I hope it sticks around so that I can use the same workflow at work and home. I'm really enjoying how fast all the jj operations are compared to mercurial.

The distinction is that in vibe coding you don't even look at the code. Although I don't endorse it for most use cases, I like the distinction. There are some things I vibe code that are useful in the moment but I always throw out

Main reason I started using ollama is because it actually worked. I spent half an hour trying to get huggingface models to run on my GPU with no success. Meanwhile `sudo pacman -S ollama-rocm` seemed to just work out of the box.

Not sure that's a good answer. There's plenty of stuff that Emacs don't that VSCode doesn't do very easily.
