Nobody should feel insulted simply because a project decides to port its codebase to another language. It is a technical decision, not a personal attack. Zig’s response has been a serious mistake. The TypeScript team ported the TypeScript c

Those problems are partly attributable to Zig itself. If the project accepted AI-assisted contributions, this controversy might never have happened. Completely shutting out one side of the industry and taking a dogmatic position is not help

From a supply-chain perspective, Cargo is still in the same broad risk category as npm and PyPI: installing packages means trusting externally published code, including code that may execute during build or installation. Rather than looking

This is frustratingly one-sided writing. Yeah, WebRTC has limitations, but relying on a standard buys you a lot of correctness and reduces long-term engineering cost. The fact that WebRTC is complicated does not mean it is wrong; it means r

Yeah, GCC’s recent major releases have been remarkably regular, much like Fedora’s spring releases, and their releases seem to fit into the same broader rhythm. Hint? Red Hat.

Just use Fedora :)

As LLMs improve and adoption grows, maintaining a FOSS project is becoming more complex and more expensive in terms of time and manpower. That part is easy to understand. It is also become a trend that LLM-assisted users are generating more

Does the Python ecosystem have anything like pnpm’s minimumReleaseAge setting? Maybe I’m being overly paranoid, but it feels like every internet-facing ecosystem should have something like this.

It feels like many democratic leaders are starting to think the CCP model—mass surveillance of citizens—is the right direction, with growing demands for chat control, facial verification, age verification, and more. Fxxk any politician who

Interesting idea overall, and I would support doing this if we can. Some constraints are: - Non-programmers are not used to working with Git. - In practice, they (usually PMs or feature designers) need to write their documents somewhere els

Damn. Please use UTC. From my understanding: Peak time (non-promo): UTC 12:00–18:00 / KST (UTC+9): 21:00–03:00 Off-peak time (promo): UTC 18:00–12:00 / KST (UTC+9): 03:00–21:00 I guess I’ll need to do more coding during the daytim

Atari? I never expected to see that ancient name again. If I remember correctly, I've been playing OpenTTD for more than a decade without the original TTD assets, and I usually build it from source, so this change won’t really affect m

Cool. Let’s release Android NDK for Linux arm64 host, too.

The strength—and also the weakness—lies in how WASM is consumed in the browser. During instantiation, JavaScript engines validate the module and reject it if it uses unsupported instructions or features. In practice, due to browser compatib

I don’t think there is a good algorithm (or guts) for differentiating between well-written comments and AI-generated comments.

That’s super interesting—I didn’t know that. Before modern standardization, maintaining calendars and clocks was typically the responsibility of states or similar authorities, often guided by astronomers. Now it seems that international org

Yuck. I’ve already noticed compilation times increasing from C++17 to C++20, and this feature makes it much worse. I guess I’ll need to audit any reflection usage in third-party dependencies.

I assume you live in the free world. Some socialist states in history, such as East Germany, pushed child-rearing and early education much further into the hands of the state through extensive state-run childcare and kindergarten systems. T

Fxxk off, to all political actors pretending this is about child protection. Protecting children is not the job of the OS, the device manufacturer, or the internet service provider. It is the parent’s job. If you cannot supervise, monitor,

Well, it’s a clever idea. Discord seems to have intentionally softened its age-verification steps so it can tell regulators, “we’re doing something to protect children,” while still leaving enough wiggle room that technically savvy users ca

A few days ago, Notepad++ got compromised—apparently by a state actor (or a proxy). And now, today, Windows’ built-in Notepad has a fresh CVE. What a life. At this point, what am I supposed to do other than uninstall Windows completely? No

Sorry, the era of free communication is fading. Across middle powers, developed countries, and increasingly North America, governments are tightening the rules around online speech—and often jawboning platforms into going further than the l

I tested it a bit yesterday, and it looks good—at least from a structural perspective. Separating the LLM invocation from the apply step is a great idea. This isn’t meant to replace our previous deterministic GitHub Actions workflow; rather

Thanks for clarifying. Since I don’t use the LLM features in Xcode, I’m leaning toward skipping this version.

From my years of iOS development—and based on https://xcodereleases.com typically ships two major Xcode updates each year: - X.0 (September): bumps Swift, SDK versions, etc. It also tends to have a noticeably longer beta cycle t

Wait… https://xcodereleases.com hasn’t shown anything since last December, so I assumed Apple had taken a breather from Xcode development, but they released an RC build today? Anyway, the Swift version seems unchanged (6.2.3), s

I think a large part of this comes from the fact that the expressiveness of LLVM’s C++ APIs does not translate well into a “plain old C” style interface. Many of the abstractions and extension points are simply awkward or impractical to exp

Why not take the best of both worlds? Use pre-commit hooks for client-side validation, and run the same checks in CI as well. I’ve been using this setup for years without any issues. One key requirement in my setup is that every hook is her

Suppressing car usage isn’t about punishing individuals; it’s about correcting urban systems that made car dependency the default in the first place. The Lewis–Mogridge position is well established, and making driving less convenient while
