    I'd be interested in seeing the inverse, i.e. a font that only AI can read

    To be fair to the commenter, you didn't provide any details in the example you provided. For all we (the readers) know, Visual Block mode would have worked in the situation you are…

    fwiw, I think a lot of people just clone odin and build it via `./build_odin.sh release` on MacOS (at least, I do). The compiler builds in ~20s

    This is super cool! This seems super useful for pairing and multiple machine work. Honestly I wish something like this could replace git, but my guess is you’d need to build specia…

    There is an open source & git compatible version of Meta's VCS: https://sapling-scm.com/

    I disagree. 1. Constructing a "deterministic algorithmic approaches with complex pipelines" is an ML approach. You're simply changing how you optimize (e.g. gradient descent with h…

    I agree with some other's in this thread: this is example is not great, but I get why it was used: to compare with X-macros. How about something that would require code-generation …

    It’s unfortunate that they didn’t eval using subagents/orchestration for such a complex set of tasks (from what I can tell), e.g. analyze program to produce initial spec -> code ->…

    Dumb Q: what would happen if you used this to store a SQLite database? Would it just... work? My guess is this would only enable a read-replica and not backups as Litestream curren…

    It's unfortunate that instant coffee has such as a bad reputation in the US. In Australia, instant coffee is very common (in the household); it's pretty good. I would much prefer a…

    >The “answer before reasoning” is a good evidence for it. It misses the most fundamental concept of tranaformers: the are autoregressive. I don't think it's fair to assume the auth…

    Is there a "universal AGENTS.md" for minimal code & documentation outputs? I find all coding agents to be verbose, even with explicit instructions to reduce verbosity.

    'We believe that data and code should be separate concepts; data should not have “behaviour”.' is flawed, but I don't believe that's the point being made. Instead, I believe the po…

    defer is literally just an explicit RAII in this example. That is, it's just unnecessary boiler plate to wrap the newResource handle into a struct in this context. In addition, RAI…

    SDL is not perfect, e.g. you can't get pinch/zoom events on MacOS. IMO, using the OS APIs yourself is better.

    Sad! These are really high quality and performant libraries. Here is video demonstrating text rendered with Blend2D in real time (NO glyph cache used) - on the CPU! https://vimeo.c…

    That is fair - sorry for spreading mis-information! That's unfortunate to hear about Blend2D.

    Just use blend2d - it is CPU only but it is plenty fast enough. Cache the rasterization to a texture if needed. Alternatively, see blaze by the same author as this article: https:/…

    Blaze outperforms Blend2D - by the same author as the article: https://gasiulis.name/parallel-rasterization-on-cpu/ - but to be fair, Blend2D is really fast.
