"common sense" is common sense because it is the "sound and prudent judgment based on a simple perception of the situation or facts" (1). Maybe what you meant to say is that the po…

Felt it ~600KM away in a high floor, building was swaying. Others didn't feel it and at first I thought I was just [unusually] light-headed or something, but then we realized a doo…

I also dislike his self-promotion, but his work _is_ well know and, as far as I know, well looked upon. I think he has more expertise and knowledge in this area than most (includin…

Are you moving the goal post? I generally trust health agencies, more so when they all agree.

Not sure how you get to that conclusion from the article when it ends with the conclusion from 5 health agencies that it's safe (and then more references from the scientific commun…

I'm not sure this is particularly telling. You can write a tiny program that generates a 4K image, and the image could be 1000x larger. Or, if I write a short description "A couple…

20 seconds each time. Last time I tried to enable incremental build, it wasn't working for us. It was a while ago, but I think it had to do with something in our v8 bridge.

Just a slower build. From ~20 seconds to ~65 seconds the first time after I nuke it.

Zig 0.15 is pretty stable. The biggest issue I face daily are silent compiler errors (SIGBUS) for trivial things, e.g. a typo in an import path. I've yet to find exactly why this […

Maybe because they still have to pay for part replacements?

And what pattern would you recommend if you needed to allocate?

It wasn't clear from the examples, and the gist doesn't have a `deinit` method, so what happens if an error needs to own data? > Here, sqlite.ErrorPayload.init saves 500 bytes of e…

Claude code has those "thoughts" you say it never will. In plan mode, it isn't uncommon that it'll ask you: do you want to do this the quick and simple way, or would you prefer to …

Makes me think of an iolist in erlang/elixir.

Aren't you missing something? Gemini tells me that non-NA market makes up 33% of Ford's sales, and 51% of GMs. So a better way to put it is "protects US automakers in the US." And …

Isn't the problem exactly the opposite? A corporation has personhood which shields its executives?

I ... don't disagree with you. Thanks. It helps my understanding. I know this is moving the goalpost, but it's still a shame that it [obviously] has to be a runtime error. Practica…

Then in the top-most snippet, what size should `buffer` be?

Author here. I see it both ways. Blog posts are collaboration (1). I did get the sense that Andrew doesn't see it that way. (And for this post in particular, and writegate in gener…

Author here. I finally got it working. I had to flush both the encrypted writer and then the stream writer. There was also some issues with reading. Streaming works, but it'll alwa…

A friend recently shared a newspaper article about his company. I hadn't seen him in a little while, and I told him how great he looked. Turns out, an AI-assisted image was used. I…
