Just to be clear, this doesn't seem to be based on Walter Bright's D language. Maybe people already know that, but I didn't.

The only problem with this analogy is that LLMs are not orbital sanders... Or if they are, they are orbital sanders that operate correctly only 95% of the time. The other 5% of the time they do the wrong thing and cause you to do more work

We've had homeless people forever (although less). I think we used "hobo", or "tramp" back in the 1960s.

Sorta unrelated but I really enjoy (I don't want to use the past tense as I often refer back to it) your article on Emulator Backed Remakes ( https://gabrielgambetta.com/remakes.html ). Thanks!

And some of us love to live in the 1970s with cheap non-HiDPI monitors (or maybe it's just me).

I did attempt this with whatever was state of the art (SOTA) about 6 months ago for my own C++ and was disappointed. It's just not there yet.

There's a serious advantage to becoming fluent by moving to a country that speaks that language fluently. Try becoming fluent in Japanese in Nigeria for "Japanese hard mode"

It's "legacy" because it's essentially tied to Windows. Yes, technically it works on Linux, and no doubt that was an amazing feat, but no serious company is running MSSQL on Linux when all the documentation, all the best

XCB did not largely replace Xlib. In fact, some (all?) implementations of Xlib are built on top of XCB.

Time to port this to Wayland using Claude code, right?

You could submit your PR to Nakst's Luigi toolkit: https://github.com/nakst/luigi You don't have to make a complete alternative. You can add calls to ATK (accessibility toolkit) on Linux/Unix platforms.

It doesn't but it definitely "implements" a single inheritance tree (with up casting/down casting) which I believe Xt toolkits (like Motif) also did.

The best example I can think of is the Win32 controls UI (user32/Create window/RegisterClass) in C. You likely can't read the source code for this but you can see how Wine did it or Wine alternatives (like NetBSD's PEACE

Vibe coding in the 90s was probably like learning C and pointers for the first time and then deciphering strange errors when you couldn't figure out how scanf worked, so you added asterisks and ampersands to the code until it compiled.

There seems to be at least 2 lcc forks (lcc-win32/win64, and pelles-c) that have their own small communities. Although maybe they are dead.

I guess https://github.com/jart/cosmopolitan might just be the WebAssembly for the command line then.

For some reason I pictured this software as a system for developing memory or CPU constrained software. Like granting only 1 mb of memory and maybe having functions executed in a certain number of "clock ticks"

I guess it's time to print out those "I did this!" stickers of Trump and put them next to the price tags.

I wonder if something like this might make a comeback for workers that are blocked from using wsl/hyperv on their corporate laptops. For me I've been using msys2 as an "alternative" since I'm unable to use wsl. It&#

The point is that since the price isn't listed, it's likely high or very high.

I think we should list the sites where this fingerprinting is done. I have a suspicion that Microsoft does it for conditional access policies but I am not sure of other services.
