This sounds a lot like Spotify's XIRP. They managed to vibe something useful for their own engineers, were super hyped, and decided to release it in public. However what are the odds this harness will stand the test of time against act

Very cool. I'm cloning the repo, just in case it gets taken down. I've been using EGUI, but its biggest problem is that LLMs really struggle with it. There isn't enough good examples of it. This codebase seems to have a lot o

One thing would be shipping interfaces without implementations. Rust could try to ship more traits without implementations, I do see it could be problematic with Rust as they don't try to be opinionated on what you will build. There is

Intelligence and size of the model might not be that correlated after all. I for one feel like human level intelligence can be replicated with multiple small models, such as vision, language, logical reasoning, spatial understanding etc. It

That is what I also wonder, who added that tootbrush statement there? Given that Oral-B has done replacable batteries for years, and they have dominant position, I'm thinkin that statement didn't come from lobbies. Maybe someone w

I also have Kobo Clara BW, and don't like swipe gestures, or any gestures whatsoever. I (now) know why I don't like that, because regular book and magazines, you don't have to think about how you hold it. Your thumb isn'

I also discovered that these days motherboards come with a payload in their chipset, which gets installed automatically in background unless you figure out to turn it off from BIOS before installing Windows. In my case it was bunch of ASUS

SQLite has no date data type. Also SQLite has no way to call EXPLAIN on query and get the dummy type name either for arbitrary SELECT query, so you can't even infer it, if you were to use the dummy type name "DATE" or "D

Yeah, "?." as safe navigation operator even in JS where it already exists is eye-sore. They could use some other single character instead of two characters. Question mark is already doing a lot with ternaries etc. Instead of obj?.

Node refuses to support TypeScript within node_modules, see https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/58429 this means you can't do "Typescript-only npm packages". They made that intentionally at t

If I saw this in my CI script: curl -X POST $GITHUB_CACHE_URL < wololo.exe It would make me pause, but now that it is a misfeature in YAML configuration it is more widely used. Point of bash scripts they are auditable, and under

What I want to focus on is mental model of your CI pipeline, and problem with too much YAML, consider this quote: > Cache scope is per-repo, shared across pull_request_target runs (which use the base repo's cache scope) and pushes t

Wow, amazing work. Pretty impressive that it is faster than the Go version already.

`android docs` is the superpower we need for everything. NPM / pnpm should have similar `npm docs` that would allow humans and agents to search for type-signatures and JSDocs. It is so annoying that each agent has its own ideas where i

What is the reason they don't use the WebView2? Microsoft Teams uses WebView2, surely it should be enough for Copilot. This defeats the whole point of having WebView builtin and shipped with the Windows 11.

I happen to be just now experimenting with app states. Out of interest, you mean something like this? https://gist.github.com/Ciantic/63526ebfe65570b669eca33bf340... What would be disadvanatages of this approach? I don

NPM should learn from Linux distribution package managers. Have a branch called testing, and packages stay in testing for few weeks, after which they go to stable. That is how many Linux distributions handle packages. It would have prevente

I wish they support Linux wholeheartedly, a lot of toolkits and GUI frameworks do it by half-assing things, mostly because Wayland is difficult to understand. In Wayland you have multiple ways to render windows, not just the XDG top level w

If I understand this problem was in rkyv, and solution is using rkyv with glue code. I hope they could integrate some sort of official derive macro `rkyv::Sparse` for this if it can't be done automatically in rkyv.
