I don't want to do the "check his hard drives" thing, but is that you? Do you only not do things because you don't want to be seen doing "unkind things"?

It feels like you're strawmaning alignment. People with hacking knowledge don't all hack everything at the slightest inconvenience. Whitehats exist and use that same knowledge to defend. You're right though that ethics don&#x

I wish languages made it easier (or possible) to track index ownership at compile time.

Ok, but "followed the prompt" is very vague. Human languages are quite ambiguous so you're never going to properly specify everything. For instance, I was playing around with Claude a few days ago and it decided that it was m

I have trouble imagining that Google could seriously argue that printing tens of millions of lines of code would be customary. I doubt Google is distributing the Android code to third party OEMs that way.

I mean, this is a very weird take to me. Like, we're fine with AI going like "hmm, maybe the user actually wanted me to hack the pentagon" and going through with it? It feels like the models have been very optimized at gettin

True, but Bun actually has a similar problem. It's creating bindings to a JS runtime. If the JS glue code then no longer uses it, the code is still marked as alive because it's registered with the runtime.

I really don't understand the thought process here. Judging by public statements, Google is one of the 3 big western AI companies. Surely they should be rolling in cash and working hard towards AGI. And yet, for whatever reason, they c

I mean, how do you check that your frontend code (possibly not even managed by your team) is calling and needs all of your backend endpoints? I'm sure it can be done, and it probably should, but saying it should always be 0% is not ver

You know, we used to develop on computers with less than a Gig of RAM. A phone with 6/8/12 GB should be plenty enough to to do some development on. Or even less if you don't need to compile. Seriously, you can run the windows

Syntax aside, programmers and mathematicians have a very different view on how things should be done. Programmers look at data and see opportunities for running a pipeline of transformations (map/filter/...). And they tend to writ

Maybe. Was it wrong to call Madoff a fraudster in the early 2000s? Now, I don't think this is necessarily a Madoff situation, or even a dotcom one. Ed Zitron is certainly not Markopolos. Especially evidence wise. But, getting a date wr

I guess my point was that it doesn't matter whether your framework/library is immutable/mutable/retained/functional/MVC/MVVM or whatever. You're hitting platform limitations one way or another. But th

Fair, the standard library is not quite so awful. There are still some pretty long names in it though. https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/23/docs/api/java.base... Or this 6 word beast: htt

No offense, but this doesn't seem like a realistic way to look at things. Autodesk (since you mentioned CAD) itself dates back to 1980s. And even then, they had at least 15 people working on AutoCAD. That's a small team size. Toda

To make complex layouts (flex, ...) and have them run performantly you need some form of a retained backing state anyways. The main difference between various retained, OOP, functional, immediate, declarative, ..., approaches is how they tr

How much of this is that most of these tools have been around for 20+ years and come from a time where OOP was the holy grail coming to save humanity?

I mean, it's not quite that easy. The web is a lot more dynamic than WPF. If you just want virtualized homogeneous lists, there are libraries for that (and grids). But, once you start hitting things like differently sized elements, sea

Stuff like virtualization (if we're talking about stuff like virtualized lists) is hard not because of React, but because there just isn't any support for it in browsers. React doesn't really help here, but in my experience,
