we're in agreement. context rot is real. i'm suggesting the solution is abstraction + composition. 1/ use ai to solve a subset of the problem 2/ abstract away its complexity to just its interface 3/ build with known

agree, but no-code is complexity-limited bc they can't: 1. write custom components on the fly (ai can) 2. compose arbitrary components (composition isn't solved)

one-shotting entire products is a dead end. once we figure out the right building blocks of applications, it will simply be inefficient to write code yourself. perhaps a controversial take, but writing code is going away (99% of it).

i've been looking at this recently and this isn't just for bots. ebpf fingerprinting is how cloudflare quickly detects ddos attacks. https://blog.cloudflare.com/defending-the-internet-how-cloud...

how we handle ai will dramatically shape our future. if you consider many of the great post-ai civilizations in sci-fi (matrix, foundation, dune, culture, blade runner, etc.), they're all shaped by the consequences of ai: - matrix

I'm all in on dark mode. All my devices are dark. I find it far easier on my eyes. And out of frustration that most sites don't have the option, I've enabled Chrome's auto dark mode[0], though this still breaks a few thi

awesome that serde moves so quickly. i just ran across simdutf8 and realized the pr for simd-enabled uft8 parsing is coming up on 5 years: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/68455

Yep. Nothing better than wowing other devs.

Love these! I'd add filling out boilerplate (e.g., impl trait defintions). An extension can also increment selected numbers together or turn selected 0s into a sequence.

There's an inflection point where technology accrues too much power to a ruling class, such that no amount of unrest or revolution is able reset the social order. I believe China has already passed this point. Their culture and individ

honestly, i thought we settled on Adam Back as Satoshi: - adam was extremely active during the early cypherpunk days, when - he invented Hashcash, which bitcoin cites in its whitepaper and used as its PoW - he was the first to take

why not adam back? the evidence in favor of adam dwarfs other candidates.

> Nothing important can happen. wouldn't it be a wake up call? wouldn't things of real importance start to happen? we're insanely capable creatures, but most of our energy is wasted on in-fighting and getting in our way.

this seems extremely inefficient. attaching a role-based policy to data fields (or storing it alongside data) should be enough.

It's not true. According to a follow-up tweet: > Sites that had some PWA information provided - such as an iOS icon - would be added as PWAs even though they weren’t. They have tightened up things so that only sites that are explici

C, Nim and Zig all benefit from static allocation and it's available in rust, so seems fair? also, `const N` is used in rust's nqueen test, so figured it would be fine. someone posted an `.iter().zip()` solution which benchmarks o
