I find it's surprising that people doubt the effectiveness of Pangram when I feel like its job has gotten easier ever since Claude models got RLHF to death with its bizarre punchy …

> He described waking up to thirty PRs every morning, each one pulled overnight by someone's AI, and needing to make snap judgment calls on every single one. The temptation to dele…

I used Better Auth for my mobile app backend. It works okayish. My biggest complaints are the OpenAPI specification gets little care, as it mainly caters for JS frontend, and break…

I saw on Twitter that in an ML course at Tsinghua University, one of the tests asks students to write quizzes that fail the most LLM models as possible. What if we create a benchma…

i like the COPY and logical replication improvements. Currently I back up my PG database with a sidecar Databasus instance that is heavier than my entire backend + DB + Caddy! (LLM…

Yeah, the big 3 cloud markup is so high that most VPS providers can hike price 10x and they are still cheaper.

Heck, mise has an HTTP backend that can install binaries from any URL. I use this to manage Atlassian CLI, whose official Windows binary is not on winget.

Yes, and way before vibe-coding is a thing. Back in 2022, a version of node-ipc formatted the disk of users in Russia and Belarus. https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/20…

I doubt Go has any sizable effect on the community of programming language developers. Probably Pascal has more impact on this.

Never, ever, ever transform URIs and paths by string manipulation. If you think pulling in a library for this is overkill, it is not. (Lesson learned from trying to quickly write m…

To me, the fact that it exhibits various telltale signs of LLMism is not the main problem; it is annoying mostly due to personal preference, just like I am annoyed by the writing s…

No worries, I don't mean to disparage your article. At least it avoids some of the most annoying LLMism I have seen, and given its length you must have put some effort into prompti…

If you wanna read an article containing essentially the same information without the pesky LLM voice: https://www.usni.org/magazines/naval-history/2025/december/m...

Is diff viewer the 2026 todo list? List of vibe coded alternatives: - revdiff: https://github.com/umputun/revdiff - hunk: https://github.com/modem-dev/hunk - diffnav: https://githu…

Incredible, I have never heard of std::autodiff before. Isn't it rare for a programming language to provide AD within the standard library? Even Julia doesn't have it built-in, I w…

First, you don't have to feel guilty of anything, since forking open source projects to make changes tailored to your use case is as old as open source itself. It is, in fact, the …

Apple has device attestation deployed like one year before Google even proposed it: https://httptoolkit.com/blog/apple-private-access-tokens-att...

You want Typst: https://github.com/typst/typst It's like the JSX of Latex: markup in a programming language, not a programming language pretends to be markup.

> learn SQL, even though it's out of fashion In what world is SQL out of fashion??

Damn, we get it, USA is a dystopia. No need to keep scaring us with those stories.

They do have their own: https://hal.science/ It is actually quite common to come across HAL in subfields of mathematics in my experience.

Talk about a bubble. No one outside of programmers know what the heck is Claude. In Asia, ChatGPT and Gemini dominates LLM usage, followed by Perplexity.

What you are describing is linear (or affine) types in academic parlance, where a value must be used exactly (or at most) once, e.g., being passed to a function or having a method …

I am not the most ardent supporter of LLM, but the whole article reads like a critique of macOS idiosyncrasies and its aversion to CLI and text format. Why does macOS tell you to u…
