In my last session had the claude agent generated code, then tests, then the fixtures from passing the tests to the code. and gloated that all passed immediatly. once i saw that, i'm not surprised anymore.

it somehow reminds me of stunnel, which if done over unix socket can be a very interesting proposition.

in a nutshell: clear defined helper functions are much better for comprehension than bigger functions. and they usually cost nothing ar runtime sine the compiler inlines them anyway. But the real cost is that having a myriad of them is usua

exactly my thought. and here thr reader view of FF is a godsend. having 'accessible' content is not only for people with disabilities, it also help with bad color taste. well, at least bad taste for readable content ;)

I'm actually loving HN because it hasn't such a system. While it looks like a very good idea at first, it will evolve in echo chambers. Which are the bane of current society, as noone listen to challenging opinions anymore. So, ve

I actually don't like to play with random people on the internet. I prefer the comfort of knowing them, and usually do it in the old basement LAN party way. In my young time we didn't have internet, and we were actually LESS reclu

I'm now even using wine & proton for it. Thanks to Valve only very few games don't work. And it's not that i don't like windows, it is just too damn slow for me. And no. I do not want to upgrade my gear every 2 years

I'm wondering if we'll see some riscv extensions specifically designed to improve x86/amd64 emulation, such as what the M1 and other did.

i'd say that wine has much less dev effort and the specs they re up against aren't as public as the web ones, so huge kudos to the wine team.

for such security devices, there is OTP. I prefer to have my auth device bricked than compromised. for anything else, i want to be able to reprogram. so for vendors, a simple choice : * be OTP, but no "patching" * be R/W, but

> more choice and greater value for me That will exactly follow Netflix's price hikes. As in "value for money", they silenced the latter part :D

to me genAI feels like a neural implanted exoskeleton. it does awesome in demos. it has a real use. but it gets a long training period when one makes mistakes with it, it is big mistakes that take long to fix

If you need to emulate (and not virtualize) have a try at pcem. It's a marvelous piece of engineering which is slower than others, but that's the price to pay for accuracy.

My main issue with rust is that it only target mainstream archs. For any new arch, first there is an asm, then a C compiler. Imagine i'm designing a new CPU, how difficult is it to have a direct rust-to-asm compiler for it? And the run
