It's almost as if the choices that make languages "look like this" are the ones that are generally associated with a more productive development workflow.

But you would still have to deal with the mental load associated with having templates in your stack. I don't know if C++ is still as bad as it was back in my day about vomiting 20…

I'm not necessarily disagreeing, but I'm following the single-letter convention because "TIn" or "InputType" looks too much like an exported symbol. Whenever I tried to write type …

> "Box" isn't really a useful type. It is very close to one. My Option[T] type [1] cannot have a Map method in stable Go because of the type system restriction in question. Instead…

Access to a well-established set of tools for operating on unstructured text (coreutils, grep, sed, awk, etc.).

The fact that one of the orgs that you're a member of is flipping the switch is not newsworthy.

> But to force these beliefs on others through laws is crossing a line you will regret at some point in your life. Where did they argue for a policy solution?

If this is a thing you need to beware of, you should more importantly beware of using a version of Go that's been outdated for over 1.5 years and EOL for nearly a year. Context: ht…

Go and try to create 40000 VMs on Hetzner. The cloud may look infinitely big, until it suddenly isn't.

If the system cannot adjust its answers to the role it's currently serving, then it would evidently be significantly less intelligent than a human.

Of course the degree doesn't help with that. What helps is accountability. When a bridge collapses, and it turns out the engineer who drew the plans made a mistake, they can be and…

Also, regardless of what you think of LLMs, it makes tech support for Linux a whole lot more accessible to the average person. There is going to be less of an expectation now that …

That's assuming that each fix can only introduce at most one additional defect, which is obviously untrue.

Well, about the free-software part, anyway.

I still saw the same bug just now (Firefox on macOS).

Not exactly the same, but "sb." and "sth." are common abbreviations in dictionaries, e.g. "to meet sb." or "to pick sth. up". To those familiar with this convention, "s.o." can gen…

This does not square with especially Apple's unending obsession to make phones as thin as possible. Which is doubly stupid when it makes them so fragile that the first thing you do…

The problem with the zero value business is that it also makes adding these QoL things in libraries difficult or outright impossible. Case in point, I tried building a library for …

Because they are only allowed to review what the LLM has come up with.
