Disheartening. macOS seems to get less and less support in a way. For example some of the Blizzard remakes don't run on macOS but the originals do.

There is a qualitative difference between unsafe Rust and Zig as far as I know.

I don't think you have specified that "," is used to pick up stuff in the bar below the log.

Climate change is too soft of a term. Maybe that's why it doesn't interest people who like to declare war on things. The targeted term must be something that is clearly human made, something that sounds undeniably bad and somethin

These corporations exist and do work. Worker owned companies have their own challenges and their own advantages. For example they tend to be more stable during crisis, because workers tend to vote for lowering salaries/benefits tempora

I think you make a point that is worthy of discussion, but the first sentence is unnecessarily hostile. The comment you responded to already made a caveat that they might be too cynical.

I‘m surpised at the presented dichotomy between JSON formatting and what the Apple SDK provides to parse output into structs. Based on what I understand about how the former works, I would assume that the latter has the same properties and

Local could also mean self hosted. The obvious optimization for the case presented would be to generate all the summaries on a server instead of in the client. Then the totally used compute would scale with the number of articles instead of

Aside, but I struggled a long time with regular sleep. I have been a night owl since I was a kid. I experience late hours as magical, don’t know how to describe it. So I always slept too little, then not at all, then drifting and sleeping i

The insight for me is that the assumptions of system need to be stated, not just the intent.

Not even vibe coders, but autonomous agents/bots. I‘ve noticed that some projects have „Claude“ as one of their top three contributors.

I glanced at zhe thread you linked. And as I understand they are in the process of migrating, which will take more than a year still. If that’s the case, then it’s not necessarily a problem with Azure itself.

But by not having a checklist you avoid that your blind spots get exposed.

It seems to me that this sort of work is a usecase that’s actually very fitting use case for LLM agents and the like. Because they can be trained and tuned to find commonly known vulnerability patterns. Here, something that looks like the t

Apparently movement plus focus on the distance has a calming, clearing effect on the mind. Do you have a similar experience when walking or running (deliberately)?

Rumi (the Sufi mystic) apparently walked and turned in circles in order to contemplate. The tradition merges music and movement with philosophy and religious mysticism. Walking, dancing or manual labor (for example gardening or cleaning) ca

LLMs have a lot of issues with facts, because they are probabilistic and you typically only get one answer per query instead of multiple covering a larger space. However, they are still useful in these cases if you know the above and use th

I think you must be right to _some_ degree. The article illustrates that this org doesn’t know why they are doing certain things. But there‘s something psychologically powerful happening with the interaction of AI. I think we overestimate o

> The point of a code review is not simply for good code to make it into a codebase, but to build institutional knowledge as people debate and iterate and compromise, slow as it may be. I feel like this is a very profound insight. Of cou

Commenting on the aside: that was my first reaction as well (years ago). But really you can treat it mostly as having a mature runtime and freebies and get a lot out of the language. Many who use and like Clojure, don’t necessarily like Jav

It's a really good language that is worth learning. If you like you can join the slack that is linked on clojure.org. Beginners are very welcome in my experience and there are a ton of great people around there.

I'm _exactly_ in this situation right now with a side project. It's in a field that I have little experience with (Information Retrieval). So there is obviously prior art that I could learn from or even integrate with. This articl

The code looks nice, but when I read GUI, I want to see screenshots of GUIs. Apparently a major dependency is "Fyne", which does show some screenshots on their page: https://fyne.io/
