There's this magnetic appeal to use a visual graph editor as the UI paradigm for your app.. it seems to fit so many problems well. Yet if you complicate the problem just a notch, t…

I was expecting to learn something new from this article, instead I got a bunch of numbers and a careful number of deaths from smoke 'by the end of the century' prediction. What en…

I'm looking at this situation strictly as 'What's possible today'. If a 1M lines code rewrite from one language to another goes into production in 1 month, that's a very strong sig…

A better title would be 'My emotions on the Bun Rust Rewrite', since the article feels like an emotional reaction rather than a thoughtful analysis of the situation. Give it some t…

A bit meta - the names in this article made me chuckle: Goat Systems, Cowboy State Daily, Cupriavidus gilardii, Frank Strong the Board's Manager and the Crow Creek and Dry Creek fa…

because it's unusable in practice. It's fun as an idea and as a toy, but when you try to use such a visual system to do work, you quickly realise that text is way more flexible and…

This is and has always been inevitable with tech. Politics can only postpone people's inherent desire to control and dominate and powerful tech makes this easier and cheaper. We (t…

It depends on what your function does with that memory. If the fn expects any kind of structure at that address, you and your callers are on your own, compiler can't help if the ca…

Fun while it lasted, really cool ! Looks like we hugged it to death though, server is down..

Have you ever used other (modern) programming languages ? In a lot of languages, you achieve the same with 1 line of code. It's not about familiarity, it's about the fact that it's…

I was very curious to see what C++ 26 brings to the table, since I haven't used C++ in a while. When I saw the 'no boilerplate' example, the very first thought that came to my mind…

Claude code deleted the database once for me. It wasn't production, but it did contain data I needed. The good thing was that I made a backup of the database right before running c…

I use my Brompton in ways which are not on its label. Besides rides in the city, I take it on long 100+km rides on the road, on gravel, forests, rocks, mountains. It has taken me o…

Who asked for this ? I'm genuinely curious. "If only I had an agent which does everything at work for me". The logical continuation would be 'then I wouldn't have to work', right ?…

The comment was for the article 'Obsession with growth is destroying nature'. Read it. It's not about me personally. In fact, I live a very comfortable life in a beautiful city. Bu…

You can't escape the rat race even if you hide in a cave these days. Life like that is no longer possible, at least not in Europe. I didn't write that to shame anyone. I happen to …

But you do realize that all the positives are mostly hedonistic ? Yeah, there are more places to enjoy yourself and have fun, more entertainment. I'm passionate about going out to …

When I was a child, I was spending my summers at my grandparents. They had a cozy house in the village. They worked the land, they had a few animals. They grew their food. They sol…

I tried maintaining chat hostory and summary in a 'changes' dir in the repo. Claude creates a md file before commiting (timestamp.md, commit hash doesn't work as filename because r…

Humans don't abstain from nukes in simulated games either. 'Nuclear Launch detected'.

It's very tempting to agree to the 'gambling' part, given that both a jackpot and progress towards the goal in your project will give you a hit of dopamine. The difference is that …

Great work! Obviously the goal of this is not to replace sqlite, but to show that agents can do this today. That said, I'm a lot more curious about the Harness part ( Bootstrap_Pro…

Bottlenecks. Yes. Company structures these days are not compatible with efficient use of these new AI models. Software engineers work on Jira tickets, created by product managers a…

It's worth remembering that this is all happening because of video games ! It is highly unlikely that the hardware which makes LLMs possible would have been developed otherwise. Is…

One thing that could happen is that someone might decide to vibe code a Discord clone, without all the extra crap. I'm sure there are people out there doing this already. There's t…
