    The performance difference in that post is due to wasm, not the container runtime, which is also stated at the end of the post.

    The useless people you are talking about _are_ the ownership class. They haven't worked a day in their life like you have, they are getting all the loans they want, and they are pa…

    There's no special URL there either, though. The parent specifically mentioned a protocol with semantics for "web links", hence my question.

    Do you know where I can read more about QR code protocols? I was under the impression that a simple URL (with http/s) is common, and I've never had it not on any device.

    That sounds like a good strategy! I've dabbled in writing task runner, and relaying logs with preserved colors and formatting without messing up the terminal and interleaving messa…

    I daily drive NixOS, and while I initially had the same experience I've settled on some workflows that basically allow me to run anything with minimal maintenance. I think it's a p…

    How does it deal with escape sequences? Does it just record them verbatim?

    Interesting - I've had the opposite experience. I usually prefer rust for personal projects, but when I recently tried to use SQLx with sqlite, lots of very basic patterns presente…

    So, you barely read one sentence, then went to the comments, read an entire thread, and took the time to post about how the author probably thinks they are superior to you? I stron…

    Nice work! I can also recommend sphaerophoria on YouTube for people who enjoy watching others rawdog things in zig.

    The linked study controls for this. Most of the time, if you read the headline for a study, and instantly have a thought that would make the entire study's results pointless, it's …

    Update: https://chatgpt.com/share/684ed2b1-3cf4-8011-a5b6-77c28969ec... Seems like it's really an infinite loop. It keeps getting more frustrated and snarky.

    The solution is arguably not super straightforward, but `2&>1` can be emulated by creating a pipe2 and then passing it to both stderr and stdout for the command. LLMs are useful to…

    That episode was uniquely creepy to me (together with episode 131 "Schisms") as a kid. The way Geordi slowly discovers that there's an unaccounted for shadow in the recording and t…

    Awesome! Looks like it accompanied an apple trackpad, super sleek. I'm also using nice!nanos in my projects, and they're great little devices. At this point I'd love there to be a …

    Does "native" exist on Linux, in your opinion? Feels to me like both QT and GTK (and maybe iced if cosmic comes to fruition?) could be considered native (or none of them can, depen…

    If the were able to have that kind of discussion with you on the pros and cons of vaccines, would you still perceive them as antivax?

    What's annoying to me is that when we talk about Wayland, the things it's capable of that X11 can't do are always left out. X has no fractional dpi scaling, and no per-monitor scal…

    Yeah, I like the underlying ideas and I can deal with the syntax, but I wouldn't expect anyone else to :-/

    I've written a lot of kotlin and it does indeed come very close! Now if only it wasn't bound to java's bytecode under the hood... Whenever I've had to write kotlin for Android in t…

    I do like the underlying ideas, and OCaml has been on my radar for a while. However, from my experience, functional languages with a big F always tend to feel a bit too "academic" …

    By "rusts type system" I mean enums with exhaustive pattern matching and associated structs, generics, conventional option and results types, and so on. None of that necessarily ha…

    It's a personal preference but I'm not a big fan of JVM languages - big startup costs and not having one "true" runtime that is just compiled into the binary are my main reasons. I…

    It's weird, I want pretty much the exact opposite of this: a language with the expressive type system and syntax of rust, but with a garbage collector and a runtime at the cost per…
