    I was expecting to see some cool spy stuff in government's PS1 env vars not slop induced schizophrenia.

    The people making the video are already making the information public, you are just making it more convenient. This strikes me as similar to downloading public court documents from…

    When was this? I've only seen this "anti-rust" vibe in the past few weeks, guess triggered by the Bun rewrite. Zig people usually will tell you to use the right tool for the job ov…

    5 years. The language itself will probably stabilize in maybe 3 years. The last things they'll do is work on the std lib, documentation, spec. That will take time but the language …

    I like the terminal aesthetics but please, for accessibility's sake, make input boxes look more like input boxes and buttons look like buttons.

    Removes a barrier of entry if you can look at it from a browser instead of installing a CLI/TUI. Don't try to make me install a random program if I can view it in my sandboxed brow…

    I guess Bun had the better marketing then. I liked how every new feature came with a benchmark against the previous version and node. See this for example: https://xcancel.com/bunj…

    To me it feels more like the old "this site only supports IE6". Instead of checking which JS engine the user has, check for specific api support and fail gracefully.

    According to the bun team, it was already vibecoded for months before the Anthropic acquisition.

    I misread that as "current times" and thought it would sing the news. It does need more streams for other timezones.

    Drop the AI written story, take me straight to the "Explore Your Record" view. That's more interesting.

    If they managed to make 3 full movies out of The Hobbit, they'll surely be able to make a movie or 2 out of 6 chapters of LotR.

    I wonder, does the important_value function get called and the value discarded or never called at all? Looks like a footgun if it has side-effects.
