I think the intentional part is that you want to print the date and time something's been compiled, and the accidental part is that you suddenly made your build non-reproducible. But usually the realization follows the initial intent b

I don't think it ever has. For a very long time now, the reasoning of Claude has been summarized by Haiku. You can tell because a lot of the times it fails, saying, "I don't see any thought needing to be summarised."

Funny, I have the exact opposite experience! I use Claude to fix Gemini’s mess.

Yes, and the video is available in full right now. That’s my current business model. (I’m the author but I didn’t post the article here — I would expect older articles to show up)

(author here) in which ways does Gleam come short of that? Because I'm also looking for that middle ground and I was very curious to get a look at Gleam.

Thanks for the heads up! I fixed the SVG graphs and made a couple layout updates based on the feedback here and some earlier feedback from my subreddit, see the before-after here.[1] I've been mostly focused on function lately, the red

Yes, PDF is what I really want, but apparently it didn't get the "<img> tag treatment" so, we have to leave with "SVG with text as paths, and perfect layout" or "SVG with embedded fonts (a subset if you&#

I love that take on it, thanks for reconciling me with this saying.

It hasn't been finalized yet, I link to a bloomberg piece in the article from 10 days ago that says it _looks_ like they're going to go back on it but nothing confirmed afaict.

Right, I forgot to mention that — I bought Affinity Designer 2, and I'm really with it, but diagramming in it is an absolute chore. Two completely separate usecases for me.

Ok I know I shouldn't let that get to me, but, re: "Was expecting a lousy post due to some typos in the text" A) that's... rude/gatekeepy? B) what typos? I simply cannot find what you're talking about Stylistic

https://fasterthanli.me/ Infamous for discussions of Go.. (vs Rust..) but mostly it's me getting excited about learning & teaching computery stuff like: ICMP in Making our own ping: https://fasterthanli.

Yes (more like squashfs, which is what AppImage is, I forgot to mention that), although honestly the border between "filesystem images" and "archives" is tenuous.

I mean it's a perfectly fine hill to die on, but I think "memoization for n=0 arguments" is cromulent. Or even "memoization for n=1 argument, which only has one possible value" (like a unit enum in Rust). I could se

> you try to help fix it. Sure if that doesn't work resign Why wouldn’t you generously assumed this is exactly what JT has done? Because from what I know, that’s exactly what JT has done.

Then tell the cynic in you that Prime and I are happily coexisting in the same space with different styles. I had issues with how he commented on the trademark stuff months ago, which resulted in harassment of friends of mine. Things have g

When I say “I wish they could have (engaged in a more constructive way)” it’s an indictment of the lack of avenues through which one can constructively engage with the project. I feel like the fork was exploitative, but I also feel like the

Nicely done! There are however, a couple issues with the code that are concerning to me if it's going to be used as a starting point by folks coming from Go — particularly around error handling and formatting.

The problem with a general-purpose fuzzer is that the H.264 format is complex - you'd end up with a lot of syntactically-incorrect files (which decoders would easily reject) whereas H26Forge is a specialized fuzzer that ends up with sy

This submission went from #5 to #42 in a minute so I'm assuming it's been deranked. An explanation would be nice, in case a moderator is around. edit: now it's no longer there at all. Welp.

"Author is riling up the masses for clicks which generates revenue for him" is the conspiracy theory. It costs me money to serve the site and results in, at worst, DDoS attacks, and at best, hateful comments towards me. "Auth

Eh, that's definitely a matter of taste. You definitely shouldn't have to pass an additional parameter everywhere you want context there's no absolutes here, just preferences.

I'm afraid I'm a bit too young for OS/2 Warp, but I can write about Haiku OS in the future if that'd help?
