SQL is a horrible language. I’d gladly program in something composable like Elm.

YouTubers monetize fair use all the time. Is that significantly different?

Maybe you’re implying that message passing makes compile-time validation of messages difficult? The types themselves are a solved problem, as long as you allow actors to fail when they receive a message they can’t handle.

What kind of codebase do you work on (number of lines?). How many tokens does your local context support? Maybe your statement is true for smaller codebases and shorter conversations, but I’d be surprised if you actually achieve good result

Has Kimi found a way to vastly reduce the amount of VRAM required without running at 3 tokens per second? That’s the real concern.

This is a ridiculous analogy. Test the app. Read its source code. Developers could always write toxic instruction in your tools. AI may write inefficient or messy code, but it’s far from nefarious. “Asbestos” code is written intentionally b

JMESPath is what I wish jq was. Consistent grammar. It only issue is it lacks the ability to convert JSON to other formats like CSV.

Yes, it is true that companies are always hungry for more. But once again, those same companies never cared about beautiful code. They wanted us to build something that works as quickly as possible. In my experience, the beauty of programmi

The people outside of us didn’t care about your beautiful code before. Now we can quickly build their boring applications and spend more time building beautiful things for our community’s sake. Yes, there are economic concerns, but as far a

Don’t Erlang/Elixir model all concurrency as actors, to some level of success. I was under the impression that it allows for quite a bit of deployment flexibility. Actors are addressed in the same way whether they’re on the same machin

This reminds of me calorie tracking: you cannot perfectly capture the number of calories or macronutrients, but measuring does seem to help people loose weight. There are probably many loop holes where eating large amounts of certain food,

This is basically a wrapper around Docker compose. The main advantage is that it takes care of GH action configuration and caching of images.

I couldn’t help but think this as well. I understand wanting software that feels snappy, but this is hardly a problem. Instead of trying to convince the reader that we should care about this, it would be nice if the writer admitted this is

Author here . If you'd like an intro to FoundationDB, you can take a look at this blog post I wrote. This CI framework was created during the writing of this post. https://jander.land/20251227_mutex.html

Perhaps it’s a bug in the VS code terminal? I don’t see anything like this in Kitty.

It depends on what you mean by "sucks". I don't think anyone here is denying that it's often the best tool for the job. You SHOULD learn CSS if you want to be an effective UI programmer simply because you'll encount

Good suggestion. I take serializability for granted.

This seems like a lack of experience. The more I work with LLMs, the better I get at predicting what they’ll get wrong. I then shape my prompts to avoid the mistakes.

Calling psychedelics and “escape” is debatable. While you do leave reality, the alternative reality you enter is often difficult, uncomfortable, and challenging, at least in my experience. Psychedelics are an escape in the same way a workou

I rather have my configuration centralized. Instead of configuring two things, this allows me to configure one. I’d take that trade off here.

Are we going to outlaw fruity cocktails as well? There has to be better ways of allowing adults to indulge than outright bans.

There’s always someone online who will assume the worst interpretation. It’s unfortunate.

I suspect a lot of us don’t have strong feelings either way and don’t find the verbosity “hostile”. No need for Stockholm syndrome if you don’t feel like a prisoner. Of course you may have been joking, in which case “haha”. xD

What about Blender nodes? I’ve seen some pretty cool and fairly complex generative modeling using nodes. For a simple example, here is Conway’s Game of Life. I’ve seen much more complex things implemented as well. https://www.red

Forgive my ignorance, but why would you implement physics and animations on the server? I feel like you can get away with basic positional data and do the rest of that on the clients.

No, but their children or a worthy inheritor will be. There’s reasons to make investments which exceed your lifespan.

Do LSPs allow you to control which file is being displayed and where the cursor is located? These kinds of controls would need to be standardized across editors for “all-editor” support.
