That being said I think the harnesses are only getting better. And maybe we will get multi-modal models that understand architecture eventually. But the growing-the-blob-of-text training method that's being used now appears to be getti

I can attest to this, I had a very simple 20-line shader that I asked Claude to do a basic 90-degree rotation on it, and it just completely got it wrong. Frequently adds pointless abstractions / intermediate variables even when I tell

The IRC servers I idled in simply never went down. Sounds impossible, I know. You can choose to believe me or not.

Times like this make me miss the IRC days, I was just able to reproduce a bug in an semi-open-source project, and Discord went down right in the middle of me sending my findings. Now there's nothing I can do about it. I can only wait.

I'm with you. This entire game has already played out in the iOS jailbreak scene.

For some things there is nothing better than xxd. It is so simple.
8.
by rweichler 6mo ago
Yeah xxd is the correct answer. If you don't want to install a dependency and have Lua installed, or if you're just feeling a little bit frisky, you can use my function which is Production Ready™. Xxd = function(name, input)

This is why I went with GNUstep. All of the APIs are 1:1 with Apple's, including the runtime (which is very important imo). It has AppKit support as well; its AppKit implementation is kind of half-baked, but at least it exists. Also, a

I read this comment, about to snap back with an anecdote how I as a 13 year old was able to learn Lua quite easily, and then I stopped myself because that wasn't productive, then pondered what antirez might think of this comment, and t

As a complete noob to the space, as an individual, who doesn't care about being "hireable" or whatever, which one has the highest ROI? OpenTofu?

Srs question, I keep reading everywhere from experienced people Wayland sucks. I need to start learning of these stacks, should I go with Wayland or should I go with Xorg? If I didn't know any better I would learn the Wayland API. Just

It does. https://github.com/q66/cffi-lua One of these days I'll port OpenResty to use PUC Lua and this FFI.

by rweichler 1y ago
I guess it provides less freedom/flexibility on the dev side. You're forced to use LuaJIT, and you're forced to buy into OpenResty's coroutine paradigm where global variables act weird, and stuff like that. Also I bet it

Yeah, seems like the power law is at play here. I made my test harness in 2020 so I didn't have a choice as Lima didn't exist back then. I should have waited a year. I'll certainly keep an eye on it

by rweichler 1y ago
Interesting, thanks. Looks much better than Docker/Podman. But seems to suffer from the same incentive issue. I think I'll stick with my raw QEMU setup, Lima seems like QEMU + batteries, but I already built the batteries.

by rweichler 1y ago
On the topic of ditching Docker, has anyone else created a custom test harness with QEMU? I feel like I'm the only person doing it this way. QEMU's target userbase is emulators in general, which is a much broader audience with way

> This is now my 5th time writing the GUI part of Ghostty from scratch: [...] once on macOS with SwiftUI, then on macOS with AppKit plus SwiftUI [...] Ha, that's a nice way of wording that. I'd take it a step or two further. :)

Cook is not "about to be CEO longer than Steve Jobs", he was also CEO from 1976-1985

Mind throwing some links my way? I love me some Scott Forstall anecdotes. Here, I'll start: - https://randsinrepose.com/archives/innovation-is-a-fight/ - https://youtu.be/IiuVggWNqSA - https

by rweichler 1y ago
When Cook became CEO, all of this was inevitable. I used to blame Jobs for not picking Forstall as his successor, but it recently dawned on me that it was never his choice to begin with. The board probably crowded him out again, just like t

Looks like we need to wait for the Digital Markets Act. But the pessimist in me thinks Apple will somehow worm their way out of that.

by rweichler 4y ago
Yep, same deal with AsyncDisplayKit and the classic "iOS can't handle our scale". Too many cooks. Move along, this isn't the library you're looking for

EQE ( https://eqe.fm/about ) Because of the opportunity cost. It's a fun hobby but I wish I made something that made me money. Being a salaried software engineer kinda sucks.

Venture capital is the same thing. Most collectibles/startups are trash. But there's that 1 out of 1000 that outperforms everything else combined.

by rweichler 5y ago
Looks cool but this project is only 11 days old. If this was mature I might've used this in EQE. But now I have my own bespoke solution. I'm surprised how many lines of code this is, I guess the tagged pointer stuff adds a lot of

You gotta remember, this was over 10 years ago. The VC/tech game was a lot different back then. The "search engine for apps" pitch kinda made sense back in those days. A "search engine for apps" sounds stupid nowada
