Why?

Language choice had less impact than people first assume even before LLMs in most software. A good engineering team produces good code in whatever language they happen to be using. In my own career I've worked in serious Java, Scala, H

IME Python has been very pleasant to use with types, even though they are not nearly as expressive as Haskell. I've noticed a shift in my own work where I spend more time playing with/manipulating change than I do making sure thin

Are you one of the folks thinking of upgrading? If so, from what generation? What makes you excited? Isn't this a more interesting way to have the conversation?

Are you familiar with ACP[0]? Through that protocol you can run claude code within zed[1]. Or perhaps I'm not understanding what you mean by using CC integration. [0]: https://agentcommunicationprotocol.dev/introduction

I let Gemini add events to my calendar, but that's about it. All the actions in the app require explicit approval. [ insert butter bot meme here ]

You can see an example of the Chain of Thought in the post, it's quite extensive. Presumably they don't want to release this so that it is raw and unfiltered and can better monitor for cases of manipulation or deviation from train

Agreed. It's mainlined a lot of plugins that I used to use in Chrome and default keyboard shortcuts that I would have chosen myself. Window management, spaces, and automated tab lifecycles are by far the most valuable features I use.

"Yet" is the operative word. Many banks were insolvent in 2008, or have we so quickly forgotten the lessons from the housing crisis.

I do this regularly, and to the extent that I'm able I put the task in the description so that my team knows more or less what I'm prioritizing. You can also create recurring OOO and Focus Time events now, so I have lunch blocked

Agreed, this made my day! Such a fun idea and well executed.

I find that Linux devotees often leave out the compromises they've made in their computing choices. Thank you for stating yours, it helps contextualize the reasons for choosing Ubuntu!

This is a curious position to take given that it's mostly a personal choice. People will like what they like, and that's perfectly fine! No need to denigrate frontend devs, or anyone, for a stylistic choice.

I wouldn't consider them rules inasmuch as they're things to keep in mind when working in a Haskell codebase, in much the same way GoF has been useful for OO programmers for decades. Can you write code without using a pattern from

Indeed, and the meta at the time was Vagrant on top of Virtualbox!

I've seen a fair number of folks in the mechanical keyboard community (admittedly rather small already) that customize their switches. For example, a common mod for mechanical switches is to replace the springs in the switch housing, w

Your response coupled with your username gave me a shiver, heh. That said, why would the Fed tighten money in the fall when we're so close to an election year? I know they hold longer terms to hopefully avoid political swings, but, it

I believe the argument for open source is that the community can continue to maintain the software long past when the creator stops (for whatever reason). Responsible maintainers will often seek new developers from the community to take cha

Clojure is often billed as "just another JAR" and in my experience I've never felt the need to install via any package manager. My workflow often consists of a new leiningen project where I define the version of Clojure that

It seems to me like this gives the company free ideas and feedback they can then turn around and implement in their core business. Is this too simplistic, or is this simply not practiced enough?

Were you perhaps talking about this article [0]? If not, it's a good read about the state of Project Skummet and improving Clojure load times on Android. [0]: http://blog.ndk.io/2015/04/23/state-of-coa.ht

IMHO this works to Scala's detriment. I very much enjoy Python and Clojure precisely because they have one, generally accepted way of doing things. Is it a silver bullet? Of course not, but this works for me 9 times out 10 and I find t

This is anecdotal, but I've come to really appreciate the subtle syntax changes that Clojure has adopted. With an editor that provides support for "rainbow" parenthesis I've found Clojure to be the most readable of all t

As referenced in this article[0] a major blocker for shipping newer versions of the command line toolchain is the fact that newer versions of these tools moved to an incompatible GPLv3 license. [0]: http://robservatory.com/b
