Mods, I think there is something wrong with the front page algorithm. This post has been stuck there for more than a year now. Among with assorted thoughts on AI or new model point…

> 36 billion ads needing review annually This would mean every single user gets 10 uniquely personalized ads per year. Even if that wasn't hilariously unreasonable by several order…

Gerrit manages stacked changes with standard git tooling, except for the tiny change-id hook. Similar stable change identifier is also what enables Jujutsu to do its magic. Standar…

This emphasizes the problem even more. Only one out of ten people use the force push approach, most others add commits to the PR. Allowing two different workflows – even within the…

On iOS the whole page jumps up and down when you try to grab it.

> We're also addressing the most common papercuts of existing tools, such as making scrollback, selection, and scrolling all work natively. Goes ahead and butchers the browser scro…

Does this mean that AV1 on Youtube will finally not melt my CPU, while my nvidia GPU is asleep, or is this just an enabler that will require more work to build upon?

> The mistake is upstream of the architecture diagram. People price agents the way they price people: senior time is expensive, so minimize senior involvement. > But the expensive …

Even without AI, a large part is also that everything easy and relevant has already been asked and answered. 10 years ago, there was still demand for low hanging ”how do I reverse …

Fill with what stuff exactly? The only thing I want to inherit from the parent process is its cwd and environment variables, even those are often overridden. The rest can easily be…

This does not match my experience. Terraform validate will check for types and you have great IDE support with refactor, find usages, resource documentation and everything else you…

Sure you can secure boot the kernel and the game binary itself but then you have all the surrounding support from the OS that also need to interop without being tamperable. Screens…

GitHub desperately needs a feature to pin comments in issues or sort by reactions. Very often in those infamous bugs that has been open for years, having hundreds of ”me too” comme…

What’s the benefit of manually pasting a massive prompt and enable egress to make queries over http vs just using MCP?

That’s if you run a OS version older than 5 years. You can still update to a newer Ubuntu version for free and get another 5 years if you pick an LTS version.

To be honest Linux desktop has been ready for the past 4-5 years or so. Long gone are the days where Bluetooth suddenly stopped, external monitors crashing and when closing the lid…

Beyond LiteralString there is now also t-strings, introduced in Python 3.14, that eases how one writes templated strings without loosing out on security. Java has something similar…

When was the last time you used a library computer, let alone logged onto a private service with it? This was a bad idea even 20 years ago. In today’s security climate, aw hell no.…

Simple: include those relevant details in the exceptions instead of hiding them.

Agree with the post. The job of blackbox is to turn probes into metrics. If a probe fails, that should just become a probe_success=0 metric. Blackbox did its job and should not log…

This is why it’s almost always wrong for library functions to log anything, even on ”errors”. Pass the status up through return values or exceptions. As a library author you have n…

Is anyone paying for Prime just for streaming? I always saw it as a nice bonus included with free shipping and all the other discounts you get on Amazon, it breaks even very quickl…

If I understand correctly, this is essentially a more composable way to write Dockerfiles? That alone is a very welcome improvement. They would do themselves a big favor if they we…
