docs.wyzer-lang.org doesn't resolve for me, and it's prominently linked from https://wyzer-lang.vercel.app/ . Since I'm not familiar with wyzer or perceus, how would one write, say…

I don't see how that's possible. It's clearly stating that zig is not in the static (compile-time) safety checking camp. The message is, don't ensure correctness at compile-time, f…

> I was not aware of the antagonism from the Zig .. people to Rust, but it makes absolutely no sense. Lol, have you ever watch Andrew Kelley speak? I've only seen 3 or 4 talks he's…

I'm pretty sure he's just finding the most condescending way he can think of to "correct" people who have a lower tolerance for paper cuts than he has. The author's message is real…

I've been using git-remote-s3 ( https://github.com/awslabs/git-remote-s3 ) which I believe was inspired by this git-remote-s3 ( https://crates.io/crates/git-remote-s3 ). Not exactl…

They may not right now, but the whole point of Microsoft's Copilot+ PC standard (even though it's somewhat anemic) is to run models locally. Apple Silicon with enough unified memor…

That's a lot of words to leave me completely unconvinced that Chrome is better than Firefox for an open www.

I like the idea (hate the site), but what does it do to my battery life?

Nobody said SCO sued BSD or BSD users. USL sued BSD and UC ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UNIX_System_Laboratories,_Inc.... .) long before the SCO lawsuits.

This is the kind of advertising I can appreciate. Useful, even some uncommon information showcasing purchasable products. I'd never buy a font advertised here (I've never needed a …

As a big fan of WordPerfect on my first DOS machine (286 clone), I agree. I respect authors like GRRM for sticking with WordStar, but whenever I get nostalgic and wondering about W…

This. I ran Linux at work until last year, when it was finally disallowed. I went with locked-down Mac over locked-down Windows.

LOL. In 2007, I did a side-by-side comparison of SVN, Mercurial and git with my codebase at work (~700k LOC). I know hg got faster eventually, but I still can't believe people say …

I feel bad for people who reject Windows 11 on moral grounds. They'll likely fall behind, while also having to live in a world increasingly built around something they see as immor…

I remember sitting in a senior seminar class in 1989 full of CS students. We were solemnly informed by a very earnest IBM employee that we would regret having majored in computer s…

> Get money out of politics If you also mean make it so Congress doesn't have a $4T slush fund to buy favors and influence every year, then I'm on board. If you think reducing the …

I lost my "Clear Creek Bike Book" in the 1980's but eventually Sheldon made me not miss it at all. It's not as comprehensive, and more corporate than Sheldon's site, but I currentl…

Ever used the self-hosted BitBucket (formerly Stash) API?

Which is debatable, but not illegal. SCOTUS has said so multiple times.

Samourai wallet has been on HN several times, but this interview with the creator just before he goes to prison for writing open source code is very interesting.

Yeah, I feel so much safer now that the state has protected me from the Y./s

Please, no. Emacs could use some interface/toolkit update, I don't deny that. And I like IDE features. I use tree-sitter, LSPs, copilot.el, copilot-chat.el, and others all day, eve…
