I like how the nurse gets to check if the AI is doing the right thing as one of her new tasks. AI is going to have to get to the point where it can do things on its own or it will only transform problem domains where verification is fast an

Just bring back the iPhone mini, please.

Makes sense. I never use podman compose and instead just use k8s like yamls. I find it easier anyway.

They keep saying that. I'd say it is more like human brains that don't remember high school math have trouble with it.

I like and use Arch daily. My "way" was just to get past the fdisk squirrel catcher. After that it was as easy as Ubuntu. I'm not bragging, I wish I'd read the manual but was too impatient for that. I suspect I'm no

DHH made Ruby on Rails and lots of people love it (not for me, personally).

I don't use Podman desktop but I haven't had any issues at all with basic Podman. It just seems like a better overall design. It would be great if Docker copied the rootless / daemonless approach if possible.

IMO current browsers are more like an operating system designed for progressive loading of apps. That doesn't mean do dumb / complicated / bloated stuff for no reason. If the best thing for your users is static html, use that

If I stated that "I think everything will be completely fine", I would expect people to challenge me on that to provide some kind of evidence. Hyperbolic statements on both sides of the argument are not constructive.

Do you have any credible source indicating that "billions will die"?

My personal antidote is to write unassisted Zig in my spare time (though C would be fine as well). While I can't back with data I certainly feel sharper.

I used Fable a bit when it was available. I didn't get the senae is was dramatically better than OpenAI. Now I am considering canceling my Claude sub since I can no longer experiment with their best models.

A lot of companies seem to want to lock in to one solution or the other - like picking Oracle or SQL Server. The landscape is far too unsettled for that imo.

I installed Arch from scratch. Honestly, other than a couple of minor "squirrel catchers" associated with disk formatting it isn't that big of a deal. You don't have to be a graybeard monk to use Linux - Omarchy or not.

Does anyone have experience with Dell XPS / Omarchy/Arch and docking stations? I've had a lot of trouble getting it to work reliably with my ThinkPad. I'd switch if I knew it was plug and play on Arch/Omarchy.

Go is extremely easy to pickup. If you know any language you probably know Go already for the most part (channels notwithstanding). I wouldn't say it is a "beautiful" language however. Though that is in the eye of the beholde

There is a reason why Rust, Go and Zig don't have exceptions and it isn't because the language designers didn't understand them. While you can achieve the same thing using both approaches, errors as return values is generally

If you reach a scenario that should crash your app, exceptions are fine. However, they are a pain (and brittle in the case of C#) when the intention is to handle them. This is the reason why many newer languages don't use exceptions.

If you know any other language, you basically already know Go (with the exception of the channels stuff). The biggest pain is the if err != nil stuff, which I know some people like but it is suboptimal in my view. While far better than C# a

Learn Go if you have to, or want to learn it. Otherwise, I don't think there is any reason to do so. I agree that it is easy to read, but less so than the language you already know.

From experience, Zig compile times are at least as fast as Go for debug builds that don't need to do linking with C libraries, etc. It does have to use LLVM for release builds however which is a lot slower.

It seems that this could have been expanded or contracted to any Fibonacci number of myths.

Back in the days of the LAMP stack, the use of Linux would have been much less obvious and thus warranted the inclusion of the "L" in the acronym. After all, leaving it out might arguably have sounded better - the AMP stack.

I don't love the appeal to romanticism portrayed in this article.

I'm unfamiliar with these stacks but including "U" / Unix seems odd. I suspect these run completely fine on Linux, Windows or macOS. Its almost like including an "E" in your stack for electricity.

I use both. Not because I am cool, but because it is cost effective for personal projects with two $20 / month plans. It is also nice to be able to see what the state of the art is like for both. Personally, I find it very interchangea

I don't know how intentional it is / was, but LLMs in general just love to hear themselves talk!

I don't think it is meant to be objectively the most efficient interface. It is more about being remarkable in a Seth Godin sense. For me I just want things to be blazing fast inside the dashboard.
