I actually am spending some of my money in an attempt to contribute to decrease some of these things, and investing bit parts of my retirement plans in others. So, not entirely not…

But last time I checked (which was admittedly a while ago), JavaScriptCore didn't have one, no?

Yeah, I suspect the 2-3x amount of code, but I can't prove it yet. This will wait for the next report :)

I understand that some developers produce very poor code. Maybe in some companies it's the norm. Luckily for me, I've seldom worked alongside such developers. In my company, the co…

I just wrote an internal report in my company. My conclusion from the project I'm working on is that, as of this day, there is no way to have both this so-called 20x performance im…

Eh, Firefox/Thunderbird had multi-threaded JS in SpiderMonkey in the late 90s. Then it was removed it because it made garbage-collection a real mess (the JavaScript gc needs to wal…

> Engineers over-engineer simple problems because their performance reviews reward technical complexity, not business impact. Having tech led teams at both high-profile and low-pro…

Directly at DeepSeek? It was my understanding (but I didn't check) that some other AI operators were providing (some of?) DeepSeek's model for cheaper prices. Still, that's interes…

I'm assuming that you need to feed the human being (i.e. you) regardless of whether you use that human being for writing code or not. So, by this metric, there is simply no breakin…

The agent can disable the lints inline, so that's not sufficient. Also, I haven't found a cross-platform + cross-agent mechanism to set permissions. Much less one that works. Right…

Anecdotally, a few weeks into a Rust agent-first project, we're still trying to get the agent to maintain a minimum of coding discipline (e.g. don't use sync Mutex in tokio code). …

> Why on earth would AI labs be bragging about how little the product they sell actually costs them to make? You don't want to do anything that reduces it's perceived value to the …

What do you mean about syntax mistakes and memory problems? Something like incorrect SELinux configurations?

It seems that this era is a marketing experiment for Mythos. We're running forward without any idea of how we can get agents to write code that is even remotely safe or secure. It …

Go is pretty good at performance, but pretty bad at expressing domain-specific logics. Python is the opposite, but once you have isolated the parts that need to be optimized, it's …

Wasn't pepper the P in PNaCl?

When I was a manager in a start-up, ages ago, I argued the CEO against handing a (small) one-off bonus to one of my team members, and rather went shopping for a nice gift with the …

> WinRT is the Windows team final response to Longhorn, but lets do it with COM and C++, which started in Vista. Not sure what you mean, I was using COM and C++ for Windows develop…

Unless I'm missing something, this sounds awful.

> It's quite possible this is because they weren't making enough noise about their AI strategy. That's how I interpret the move, too.

When I worked at Mozilla, _everything_ was called a bug, whether it was a software issue, a problem in the office or some paperwork missing. Much as GitHub calls everything an "iss…

At the very least, Cloudflare hosts web workers, which let a customer execute more-or-less arbitrary wasm code on their servers. If there's an exploit that lets you escape the wasm…

I remember the words "peeking" and "poking", but this may have been specific to basic.

Do they finally meet a human being with an explanation on the position on the 18th round?
