I write Rust code. I don’t mind it. But the truth is, I use very little of the language. I visit the Discord, and I see all the crazy overcomplicated shit these people are writing. If I had to try and make heads or tails of some of that shi

The breaking changes version to version. Zig tends to be quite liberal about moving forward, as should be expected at its version level. It simply outpaces the llms datasets.

I feel like this article means well, but assembly or machine level types are not the same. Sure, the assembler and cpu will execute the instruction with the given type, but the next instruction can use a different instruction with different

There’s a reason people say don’t meet your heroes. No matter how elevated they are in your mind, they’re still just people. One pants leg at a time and all.

Yes, duffel bags full. But it doesn't take too many cash purchases that are not inline with your tax returns before somebody is going to start snooping around. edit: although sometimes, a lot longer than one might expect.

Maybe not the actual quality, but if I put a $50k Rolex on the table and a $50 Timex, 98/100 people will choose the Rolex, right or wrong.

Wow. At least I know who downvoted me. Maybe you should take a step back and realize that sofware developers themselves are not the primary purchasers of most software. The average joe or jane purchaser doesn't have some magical AI slo

One of my favorite phrases is “the market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent.” Even if all signs point to impending doom, at the end of the day if people are still buying, stocks will hold their value.

The difference, and I think we as an industry will have to reconcile this depending on how advanced llms get, is that you don’t see the quality in handmade code like you do in a high end watch or a luxury automobile or appliance. The vene

Yes, many people instinctively stay away from anything microsoft (except github, typescript and npm). But the stack is solid. I’m always reminded of Stack Overflow and how they built on asp.net and like 7 servers and it scaled very well for

They are aligning more closely with the Rust 2024 model for unsafety, which requires inner annotations at the point of unsafety in addition to notation of the function (unless it is the safe-unsafe boundary) plus it imposes a requirement fo

It's been over for years. Google scares companies into bidding against each other just to be seen. It's a complete farce & a racket. It's the pay to play web.

That's ironic given the active 0-day exploits going on in the wild right now: https://www.theregister.com/on-prem/2026/05/15/exploited-exc...

OS Development has halted in 1970 at this point. I know everybody loves Unix, but it has the same problem as Windows- namely that anything you run under your user context has access to your whole user context. And it will continue to be a

They still prioritize developers, look at .NET Core, Typescript, NPM, Github (lol), but the problem is that they're not Windows exclusive enclaves anymore. In fact, I'd bet most people now deploy (and probably develop) .NET Core o

I share the sentiment unless you're working in an area where Python's library ecosystem is simply the better choice. When I vibe, it's C# all the way. Not a popular opinion on HN, but the LLMs are trained heavily on the langu

You would think that, but PDF is not really a format for text. It's a format that describes typography and graphics layout & formatting. It's not uncommon for a text pdf to not contain all of the text it renders (due to liga

I think you misunderstood. My comment was meant to imply that people would be extra careful about all new software for a while. I know cpanel isn't unproven. It's been around forever.

by caspper69 5mo ago
This flurry of activity is certainly going to have people be more apprehensive about unproven software that may be of dubious prominence. My question amid all of this is who else knew about these long-standing vulnerabilities?

I quit for 9 years and went back to drinking. I do it once every few months now, just to have a beer or three with old friends. But I didn't get dragged back in, in fact, it's been 2 months since I drank again. Just had to learn t

I agree. .NET is the opposite of Go. Calls to System.Random use Xoshiro128++ under the hood (as of .NET 6 I believe). On the other hand, calls to RandomNumberGenerator.GetBytes() are cryptographically secure, using the Windows kernel cryp

LINQ? Just throwing it out there; obviously not everybody can or wants to run a C#/.NET stack, but entity framework (core) is about as close as you can get to the perl and regex integration. I think Ruby on Rails gets there too, but I&

This is disappointing. 4o has been performing great for me, and now I see I only have access to the 5-level models. Already it's not as good. More verbose with technical wording, but it adds very little to what I'm using GPT for.

I hear this a lot, and I do seem to remember back when I first got Windows 11 I might have seen something stupid like Candy Crush, but I'll be honest, I literally never see ads anywhere in the OS. Truth be told I hardly ever use the st

If I had to guess, probably a couple hundred lines a day, maybe more if I get in a groove or have a deadline. But with an LLM, that number goes to about 500 or so, 200 of which are real code and not definitions of some kind. Truthfully, tha

I am in the middle of my third AI assisted project. I disagree ~90%. If you prompt an LLM like an architect and feed it code rather than expecting it to write your code, both ChatGPT 4o and Claude 3.7 Sonnet do a great job. Do they mess u
