I haven't tried it since it was first released but it didn't seem to work at all for me back then. It was so slow that the roslyn results would be lagged well behind any edits it was making, which would just leave it confused.

I'm feeling the same, personal projects have never felt better, but work has slowly felt more miserable. Code reviews come back with a ream of issues that I just want to scream "I don't give a fuck". Pre-LLM no-one would

I wouldn't say that's flat at all, if you switch to the "architecture" graph it gives a clearer picture without the between-version artefacts of dips that don't exist: https://stats.documentfoundation.org

There isn't any need to "look things up related to the conversation", and if that is seen as acceptable then that itself is a sign of how things have changed, and how addicted we all are to information.

I didn't downvote, but I can understand it as a reaction to, "Ask claude yourself".

What do you mean by "acknowledge", and is that same level of acknowledgement the level used in benchmarks?

Trackbacks! Yes thank you, I'd forgotten the name.

Your musing about 2-way links reminded me of the short-lived "webhooks for backlinks" trend, which didn't last long before spammers found and abused it. The idea was that you had a well-known webhook location, and when people

They didn't measure which programming language because we all know it's python, which it tries to use, every session, despite repeated memory files to not use python. Recently it's even taken to installing python to get job

Excellent article, I went into it thinking the headline is obvious, but the examples are well crafted and it isn't just the obvious stuff.

Because open protocols were abandoned, because they generally lacked security, discoverability, and perhaps most significantly of all, moderation. Even FINGER had .plan files, where you could get status updates from people. But how are you

Outside of London, Manchester, Nottingham and a few selected other places, busses in England tend to be fairly dire, especially as you get out to smaller towns and villages. Even if the routes are there, it's not uncommon for the actua

I would disagree with that, I've seen people anchor their own identity to that of brands like Apple or Disney. They may not be aesthetics you find cool, but clearly they appeal to a large number of others.

Just this morning I had a worrying result when I googled "UV index <location>" and it confidently told me the current UV index was zero. It was not, and at least because it was obviously wrong I clicked through to a page wit

Well indeed, which is why I don't really like talking about the "speed" of a language at all. What really matters is the characteristics of the idiomatic usage.

There are times that JIT'd C# out-performs AOT C#, so I'd avoid defaulting to recommending AOT. Assuming that AOT is faster is the same trap that C advocates fall into when thinking that other languages can only ever equal C on sp

The title mangler mangled the original title, so I re-titled with context, I hope it doesn't count as editorialising too much. Polly is now on a growing list of libraries that are open source in name but no longer in spirit. It isn&#x2

It blows my mind to go back and look up how long some games such as Sonic 2 actually took, compared to the amount of time I spent failing to complete it in my youth.

Was the idea that these were incredibly complex and convoluted puzzles that you'd be expected to "solve" by playing over and over until it was completable? You'd expect one or two of these things to slip through by mista

I loved the aesthetic of Deus Ex, but the Deus Ex in my head was always far better than the one in reality, and so I've deliberately never re-visited it, to keep that memory of a treasure. Some games just impact me in a way that others

If you load an issue page, you'll see 1 failed request to: /project/product/issues/<number> And sure, that's what you care about, but consider the working requests to: /in-product-mess

Just take away free Actions and it would surely solve a lot of their scale issues. It's absurd that I have dozens of repos, many with GH Actions that run CI, test and then package and push to prod/package managers, and haven'

That was a political decision, this is an operational one. A lot of companies have become dependent on a working github and effectively have to down tools when it is down.
