I think the intentional part is that you want to print the date and time something's been compiled, and the accidental part is that you suddenly made your build non-reproducible. B…

I don't think it ever has. For a very long time now, the reasoning of Claude has been summarized by Haiku. You can tell because a lot of the times it fails, saying, "I don't see an…

Funny, I have the exact opposite experience! I use Claude to fix Gemini’s mess.

Yes, and the video is available in full right now. That’s my current business model. (I’m the author but I didn’t post the article here — I would expect older articles to show up)

True! Only, Good C programmers don’t exist.

(author here) in which ways does Gleam come short of that? Because I'm also looking for that middle ground and I was very curious to get a look at Gleam.

That’s amazing! I’m so glad you did :)

Thanks for the heads up! I fixed the SVG graphs and made a couple layout updates based on the feedback here and some earlier feedback from my subreddit, see the before-after here.[…

I mean it's right there in the tags.

Yes, PDF is what I really want, but apparently it didn't get the " tag treatment" so, we have to leave with "SVG with text as paths, and perfect layout" or "SVG with embedded fonts…

I love that take on it, thanks for reconciling me with this saying.

It hasn't been finalized yet, I link to a bloomberg piece in the article from 10 days ago that says it _looks_ like they're going to go back on it but nothing confirmed afaict.

Right, I forgot to mention that — I bought Affinity Designer 2, and I'm really with it, but diagramming in it is an absolute chore. Two completely separate usecases for me.

Ok I know I shouldn't let that get to me, but, re: "Was expecting a lousy post due to some typos in the text" A) that's... rude/gatekeepy? B) what typos? I simply cannot find what …

https://fasterthanli.me/ Infamous for discussions of Go.. (vs Rust..) but mostly it's me getting excited about learning & teaching computery stuff like: ICMP in Making our own ping…

Yes (more like squashfs, which is what AppImage is, I forgot to mention that), although honestly the border between "filesystem images" and "archives" is tenuous.

> Is there something better than just screen-shotting your terminal window and making PNGs or GIFs for stuff like this? There is and it's been on my TODO list forever. In fact, the…

I mean it's a perfectly fine hill to die on, but I think "memoization for n=0 arguments" is cromulent. Or even "memoization for n=1 argument, which only has one possible value" (li…

> you try to help fix it. Sure if that doesn't work resign Why wouldn’t you generously assumed this is exactly what JT has done? Because from what I know, that’s exactly what JT ha…

Then tell the cynic in you that Prime and I are happily coexisting in the same space with different styles. I had issues with how he commented on the trademark stuff months ago, wh…

When I say “I wish they could have (engaged in a more constructive way)” it’s an indictment of the lack of avenues through which one can constructively engage with the project. I f…

Nicely done! There are however, a couple issues with the code that are concerning to me if it's going to be used as a starting point by folks coming from Go — particularly around e…

The problem with a general-purpose fuzzer is that the H.264 format is complex - you'd end up with a lot of syntactically-incorrect files (which decoders would easily reject) wherea…

Ahhh, that sounds likely, thanks!

This submission went from #5 to #42 in a minute so I'm assuming it's been deranked. An explanation would be nice, in case a moderator is around. edit: now it's no longer there at a…
