The best approach has been to host a tokio server, and then make a traditional os-native user interface like a full-stack chump. That’s crazy. It’s still better than the UX’s that …

Available components must win. I’ve often been a critic of open weights and open architectures that give very few normal people access. What’s the point of releasing the plans for …

It was not fair. It was how I felt trying to build on it. I love the content that was produced, but it was all very experimental and garden shedded from a decision-making angle. To…

Love/hate with this one. How was I supposed to follow this? I tried, and few things were publicly visible for nearly two years. I last checked in march and it looked like no progre…

If you are talking about a city where this makes sense like Phoenix, the public transportation is very poor. It can take 90 minutes to cover the distance you could drive in 20. The…

JetBrains’ AI offering peaked last year when Junie was briefly better than Codex. Now it’s a wash. Honestly all of this drives me back towards nvim or notepad sometimes. I have had…

Most handle this by having release channels. You would `brew set-channel stable/edge`. It annoyed me this week because I only had a few minutes to try elixir 1.20 after the announc…

Do not use this, I recommend ziglings if anything besides what Loris would say: you have to read code. The builtins don’t even compile in these examples. This is 2 years out of dat…

Okay, it’s conscious. But can it run doom? I rest my case.

I had the opposite experience. I saw college kids who didn’t know where the F5 key was on the first day write smart matlab and python programs by the midterms. I don’t think I’m ex…

Asynchronous Transfer Mode (I had to look it up too.) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asynchronous_Transfer_Mode

For posterity, parent is correct. The “flying his plane” story is a memeified summary. I did not actually mean that we would have lisp machines otherwise, which was the tell that I…

Ah. A common (and understandable) misconception. LSD-OS doesn’t enhance anything in the UX, it just removes the filters that prevent you from seeing reality, man. Some confuse this…

I am a low-level zig guy right now too. I have been around for a long time, and it’s funny to see arenas come back into vogue as a solution to nearly everything. Arenas are great f…

You point to a better timeline. Sometimes—when desperately alone—I imagine. If only the guy who was destined to close a disk operating system deal with IBM hadn’t been goofing arou…

That’s why I have been proposing Nappy McBeers’s Middle-Aged Tap & Blanket Room for over 20 unsuccessful years. “Have a pint, stay a spell. It’ll be our cozy little secret, mate.”

He’s proof that the elites are not mystically smarter than you. Probably dumber.

My dad and my brother use ipad pros for their healthcare business and rarely use laptops. For them, the year of real work happened several years ago. My brother even has a mouse fo…

The first time I had an amp distorted and loud enough to cause feedback (if I wanted to) at band practice was the most magical day of my life. I had heard it a lot in punk and pop-…

I think you are implicitly invoking Turing completeness as opposed to “fixed-step recipes on a punchcard” as your requirement for something to be considered computing. If a loom ha…

Just don’t take one if another one is operating nearby. If they see another waymo, having passed the insecure emotional Turing test, they get self-conscious and wander the neighbor…

The only thing I agree with the current US president about is that American Football should be called something else. - Helmetball - Gridiron - Scrimmage - Brain-B-Gone - Turnover …

Ok, so I don’t have an NFL team. I played in high school and like the sport, but find it difficult to be loyal to a color and a logo. I also never watch ads at home on any platform…

Lock-free queues and 16-core processors exist though. I use actors for the abstraction primarily anyway.

I think of it more like moving from sole developer to a small team lead. Which I have experienced in my career a few times. I still write my code in all the places I care about, bu…
