I try not to blame the 'Roy Fielding is right' camp on this. I also try not to blame the "terminology doesn't matter' camp. There are groups of people using the same terms for diff…

The post itself says that the effort is independent of ghostty. Their first work will utilize libghostty, and they'll contribute upstream. In other words, this probably won't direc…

Despite being mocked by Henry Ford decades ago, we'll finally get our 'better horse'!

What's the advantage to stopping there?

Ignoring how a thing was created, is it useful to me (or anyone)? The fascination with LLM coding seems rooted in the new ability to create something with very little effort. Unfor…

I almost completely disagree. Unprofessional? Maybe a little, but honest, and while the truth isn't flattering to Jarred, I'd say generally kind. Embarrassing? Not from my seat. An…

Does anyone here have any knowledge of how something like this gets resolved?

The documentation page makes this look like a fake door test.

Good point, but they don't market it for general consumption, which seems to be the suggestion. I honestly don't think windows is worth any price. Unix is the platform of builders,…

Even at $45 I am still not interested. For actually building software, Linux is king. The OS is a commodity, and I largely do not have to think about it. For desktop use, sure, $45…

The original Team Fortress on quake.net is where I grew to appreciate the beauty.

Very smart. You can't lose all your customers for vibe-coding a migration to Rust if you are already written in Rust ;)

"The Standard of Excellence for Image and Picture Quality" Yeah you are, you go girl.

I'd word your first point a bit more strongly: The Steam Machine is the best of both worlds, yes, it is a plain PC and Valve is recognizing that. However, they are also selling a f…

Wow, there really is an XKCD for everything .

It seems it may be 'animal nature'. We maximize our benefit until the environment limits us, and humans have become 'too good' at it, increasing stakes to a global scale.

This is an important distinction: what is good for ecology is not necessarily good for economy. If we need unbounded growth to jeep our economic system to function, its the economi…

I'm sorry you have had to experience that. As much as I'd like to judge, I had a little bit of that 'elder avoidance' in my 20s, and I look back and cringe at how stupid I was. I'm…

Same here. I never taught my children anything but the '(Fast) Ian knot', so they know no other way. They are older now, but when they were younger, they were often the friends of …

What do you mean by circle of avoidance?

> require some runtime to interact with the world This was why I was excited by Bun until recent events. A typescript runtime with a rich standard library, and fast. It looked like…
