When competition has no rules it resorts to people banging each other over their heads with clubs.

Disheartening. macOS seems to get less and less support in a way. For example some of the Blizzard remakes don't run on macOS but the originals do.

"Buy more RAM" usually isn't the thing I want to hear when my linter is slow.

There is a qualitative difference between unsafe Rust and Zig as far as I know.

I don't think you have specified that "," is used to pick up stuff in the bar below the log.

Climate change is too soft of a term. Maybe that's why it doesn't interest people who like to declare war on things. The targeted term must be something that is clearly human made,…

These corporations exist and do work. Worker owned companies have their own challenges and their own advantages. For example they tend to be more stable during crisis, because work…

I think you make a point that is worthy of discussion, but the first sentence is unnecessarily hostile. The comment you responded to already made a caveat that they might be too cy…

I‘m surpised at the presented dichotomy between JSON formatting and what the Apple SDK provides to parse output into structs. Based on what I understand about how the former works,…

Local could also mean self hosted. The obvious optimization for the case presented would be to generate all the summaries on a server instead of in the client. Then the totally use…

Aside, but I struggled a long time with regular sleep. I have been a night owl since I was a kid. I experience late hours as magical, don’t know how to describe it. So I always sle…

The insight for me is that the assumptions of system need to be stated, not just the intent.

I tried to make a joke about the tensions of security and accountability.

Not even vibe coders, but autonomous agents/bots. I‘ve noticed that some projects have „Claude“ as one of their top three contributors.

I glanced at zhe thread you linked. And as I understand they are in the process of migrating, which will take more than a year still. If that’s the case, then it’s not necessarily …

But by not having a checklist you avoid that your blind spots get exposed.

It seems to me that this sort of work is a usecase that’s actually very fitting use case for LLM agents and the like. Because they can be trained and tuned to find commonly known v…

I tried to make sense of middle eastern politics once. My conclusion has been „It’s complicated.“

Apparently movement plus focus on the distance has a calming, clearing effect on the mind. Do you have a similar experience when walking or running (deliberately)?

Rumi (the Sufi mystic) apparently walked and turned in circles in order to contemplate. The tradition merges music and movement with philosophy and religious mysticism. Walking, da…

LLMs have a lot of issues with facts, because they are probabilistic and you typically only get one answer per query instead of multiple covering a larger space. However, they are …

Or they pack up to leave.

I think you must be right to _some_ degree. The article illustrates that this org doesn’t know why they are doing certain things. But there‘s something psychologically powerful hap…

> The point of a code review is not simply for good code to make it into a codebase, but to build institutional knowledge as people debate and iterate and compromise, slow as it ma…
