Porkbun has been good to me and a lot of others.

Dependency injection provides the same hermetic-testing capability, so that's not really an answer to OP's question. Effect-as-world-model is, in this specific way, just a special …

You're failing to distinguish between token count spent and context window used. You're correct that the former is not a concern for Anthropic, but it's also not the problem I'm po…

Not just effects, multi-shot effects: > Algebraic effects with deep, multi-shot handlers. A handler can resume a computation zero, one, or many times, which is what makes exhaustiv…

Looking at the official description of a Forward Deployed Engineer I'm uncertain what even the nominal difference between this and a Solutions Architect is. Is the nominal differen…

Depends on what you mean by better. I chose Porkbun because it's a small company with good prices, a good vibe, and all the tools that I need. Cloudflare was never going to be on t…

I'd honestly be careful with squarespace. They are owned by private equity, advertise on countless YouTube channels, and at the same time their core market is under a looming threa…

Their prices had already been going up for a few years before that, which finally pushed me off them starting around August of last year. I'm about to swap my final few domains ove…

The weird twist here is that I've found that there are times where Fable is actually worse than Opus at a straightforward task, not just more expensive. It'll launch off into its o…

This piece focuses on the cost differences from the tokenizer, which do matter, but I wish they emphasized more that even adding the tokenizer to your calculation doesn't provide y…

Because what they did say is true for both agents and humans. Which makes it a more compelling argument than just emphasizing the specific aspect of that limitation agentic workflo…

You realize that what you're describing is inherent complexity in memory management? This is not something that you can dodge by using Zig, it's just part of the domain. The differ…

That's only the correct abstraction if you intended to hold off on releasing the rewrite until you were completely finished, because there's no universe where Bun of all projects r…

The example shows three extra lines of code, two of which are `defer`s. I'm not an expert in Zig and can't tell you whether the example they give is contrived, but the claim they'r…

Because if you have to quadruple the number of tokens in your code base in order to make the Zig provably safe, you have 1/4 of the context window to do useful work.

No one's obliged to respond to hearsay by trying to guess what the other party might have misheard to arrive at a false conclusion. It's enough to demonstrate that the conclusion t…

If that's what he meant that doesn't speak well for his communication in this post, because "the Bun team told us that they were not fuzzing anything" is a wildly different claim t…

The very next sentence justifies why they didn't do it: it argues that they would have ended up with what was technically Zig but something that was much less ergonomic than what w…

If the end state were unsafe Rust, you'd be right, but that's explicitly not the intended end state. Unsafe Rust was the reachable first step . Now they have a Rust version and can…

> making sure the JIT doesn't emit anything broken or naughty is completely outside the scope of Rust. It's also outside the scope of the project if they're using Webkit's engine f…

No one involved in the port proposed "blindly porting Zig code 1:1 and calling it a day". From the first blog post the creator said: > We can gradually refactor it to reduce unsafe…

The discrete number of cows being born is theoretically fine-grained enough to actually respond to 2–3 vegans yielding one fewer cow. It's unlikely on a one-year time scale, but on…
