Posts no. Comments yes. Especially comments on productivity boosts and outright lies when someone “builds a few side projects in the last month with AI”. It feels either like a sponsored roleplay or a competence level where building a jsx f

Tbh, the preference may work for one set of things but not for the other. It should be a per-app per-site setting with a system default. But not in-the-site, obviously. This is not a realistic change though, cause systems and browsers vendo

Yudkowsky texts represent my mental image of a vector continuously scanning a latent space in some general direction. Changes just pile on and on until you come from concept A to concept B without ever making a logical step, but there’s not

Knowing and living in one of these markets, I’m pretty sure your business model is to just re-advertise random p2p sellers as trusted. Cause if p2p markets were manageable and could swallow any sizeable amounts at a reasonable price, the pr

I think HM is simply not practical. You don’t want your types to be a multidimensional logic puzzle solved by a computer, cause you want to reason about them and you are much weaker than a computer. You want clear contracts and rigidity tha

Having lived through all that I think it’s worth reminding that old typed languages were no match to modern ones. I’m not talking about arcane envs here, only about practical and widely used. People didn’t really go just “untyped”. Untyped

The new desktop browser plugin is disgusting even after I went through settings. Won’t reiterate here, one of the worst UIs I’ve ever seen and if I were to choose today, I would not choose bitwarden only because how ugly and unusable it is.

A similar question, is there something cli-composable? Something like: $ codellm -root /path/to/root -prompt - -connect $addr <input>^D <output> Then it would be trivial to adapt to anything, e.g. as :&

My main struggle with BASIC at 10yo was its non-strict SQL-looking structure. Maybe that’s me specific, but this gradual thing would be even more confusing, cause it gives nothing rigid to pattern match against. The big part of it is demyst

I was around 9 and didn’t speak English at all when I first met a computer with ROM BASIC in it. My struggles were with understanding the structure and my daily driver was making games. BASIC was sort of harder to get compared to e.g. Pasca

spinning up/scaling down resources across massive deployments targeting AWS, Azure, etc. Isn’t this, like, a primary feature of AWS, etc? Why need an inhouse system for that? Or why need AWS then?

What were these options? Something must have been very special to make a fork and not just a set of plugins. What was it, in terms of end-user features?

by wruza 2y ago
It was a selling point back then and the reason for a fork. Bram didn’t want to add async tech into Vim, cause async enabled various parallel-to-you visual activities. Neovim forked and did async+lua on its own terms. Vim later added asyn

Breaking changes and mistakes are orthogonal to changes to defaults and changes for no clear reason. This separates stable software from perpetual “nightly” one. With Vim you can update through a couple major versions before even realizing

Does this imply that Vim has no LSP support? Cause ALE is a Vim-spirited zeroconf-ish LSP bridge for those who don’t know.

Something pops out and blinks on itself while you are typing. At least that's what I've seen in neovim "ads" videos back in the day.

by wruza 2y ago
Neovim turned itself into a pop-blink IDE which some people never wanted. It's good that it serves the needs of its fans, but it's also good that Vim stayed in its own tracks. Losing Vim as it is would be a great loss for many.

That's really okay for the most non-clueless-user facing software. Inhouse worked like that since forever. Half-assed, barely working out of happy path, dangerous if you tick that box, but doing its job anyway. There's still a l

The left wing also has enough followers who thought that yet another corpname “adopting” the idea was a real step towards it. A little wishful to claim that crazy believers exist only at one side of the fence. It’s actually hard to make dem
