    Thank you. I’m constantly baffled by the terrible quality of Logitech’s software. Such great hardware and such horrible software. Very much needed an oss alternative.

    This is very cool. Do you have any advice on papers to read to understand the details of search based compilation a bit more?

    I like the idea of llms collaborating like this a lot; planning, critiquing, verifying, coding etc. I think that’s a very general and powerful approach. How did you end up with tha…

    This is the kind of comment that at first glance seems measured and well-phrased. I’m sure it depicts a common situation in journalism too, after all they’re just humans like the r…

    The Palestinian dead have names too, and it doesn’t take much to verify them. Beyond the deaths, the hostages taken by both sides are exactly that: hostages. Why do you suggest Pal…

    Why do you need pictures of camp inmates to believe that the Gulag was an integral part of the system? And (Nial?) Ferguson seems to be alive and well and speaking his mind freely,…

    Isn’t it a bit sad to think that trips like these are pretty much impossible to make these days? The number of countries I would consider safe to live in and raise my children in i…

    CI/CD workflows most likely. And devshops that have standadised on docker containers for their stacks (mac-based devs in such places suffer a fair amount of papercuts today). Then …

    So what would be the reasons to run pg as a unikernel? To get max performance on bare metal? Smaller attack surface? Or?

    If a government agency issues a secret warrant, doesn’t that imply rsync.net has to provide a valid canary at the right time as well? I don’t get how this is useful.

    Indeed. And for rust compilation, good single threaded performance can have a significant impact on that last annoyingly slow linking step (at least when building executables).

    AFAIK the Sentry people are big on Rust and very responsive. I’m sure they’d react well to a bug report. :)

    So if I pay your govt 3 million (or 3 billion (or 3 trillion)) in exchange I get to deport you, your family and everyone you know to wherever I want? Legal yeah?

    This uses the Nettle crypto library under the hood. Does anyone know how well viewed (or reviewed) it is? I'm curious to hear more from the devs on their reasoning for picking it (…
