Nothing wrong with CMOS/APA/MLA dashes, I quite like them but usage in LLM prose has ruined it for me. AP dashes are weird, too much horizontal spacing, looks horrible and can really erode typographic color sometimes. "Intern

I am not sure it is the management consulting partners or their associates that are doing the vibe coding . The more likely scenario is that they "consume" the output of designated offshore teams.

There is also the possibility of using Toolbx (formerly [Fedora] Toolbox), distrobox or a container, and the underlying container's package manager. The issue then ends up being about how ergonomic it is to manage a separate guest syst

Thanks for all the hard work. We are not many [1], but Homebrew has been a great way to quickly bootstrap an environment in immutable Linux distributions. Note that certain operating systems such as Universal Blue's Bazzite (1.28%), Bl

I am not sure it is recommending more than it is commenting on the current state of developing public-facing APIs in Python. The downstream users that import the package either have to ignore checking its exported types altogether, manual

I recently installed Fedora Kinoite [1] and I have been very pleasantly surprised by how stable and performant it is. I am afraid I cannot say the same for their new KDE Linux distribution [2] which in my opinion was a bit unpolished at the

Seems very promising but then you realize the LLM behind said agent was trained on public but otherwise copyright encumbered proprietary code available as improperly redistributed SDKs and DDKs, as well as source code leaks and friends. In

Please elaborate, I am curious to why would you think WebGPU would meaningfully beat their Metal/DirectX renderers.

Nice although I think the ASCII comma feels wrong as part of a filename even if for purely aesthetic reasons. If we want to stay within (lowercase) alphabetic Latin characters I think prefixing with the least common letters or bigrams tha

Thanks for all impressive work on AdGuard. Any particular reason to adopt Rust for this project instead of Go as many of your other products? Because I think since you have quite extensive Go codebase I would imagine you had to rewrite poss

Out of those, only Morisawa's BIZ UD, Sandoll's IBM Plex and Adobe's Noto families are of outstanding quality. Motoya is also a reputable foundry. FONTDASU also, I guess. And Google's Zen. But those are all text faces! T
