I believe such organisations tend to do such things very intentionally :-) About ESO [1] > We are an intergovernmental organisation established in 1962 supported by 16 Member State…

Double? Rookie numbers. We went from $1k to $21k per year. A few emails later and we have a hefty discount, but we will still move away.

If you’re interested in what a specific piece of code compiles to, it’s worth checking out the online compiler playground [1] https://playground.react.dev/

It really does work very well in practice. A few things really help: - Lints [1] that flag code that cannot be (correctly) optimised. Usually this is obscure code that is too smart…

After bun [1] this is another high-profile project that was ported to Rust by extensively using LLMs. Very curious to see how these rewrites play out. Is the LLM foundation solid e…

So isn't not changing more sensible than changing to an arbitrary alternative? The current developers surely are more familiar with the Babel representation than OXC, so why switch…

OXC is not the only consumer, so using the OXC AST wouldn't particularly make sense? I thought it was pretty well explained in the PR: > Note that the conversion from any AST into …

Yes absolutely. It's brilliant: all useMemo and useCallback can be removed and you get the same runtime performance and then some, at the cost of only a slight increase in code siz…

There is no SQL successor: SQL is here to stay. Applying the Lindy effect [1]: after half a century of SQL we can expect it to survive for at least as long. Disruption/displacement…

I have no idea; but I presume they don't, given that ZJIT today is still much slower than YJIT? [1] [1]: https://rubybench.github.io

Were there 1M line diffs in the past, before LLMs? That seems (seemed?) legitimately insane. Simultaneously a very good example of how Github needs to adapt to the changing softwar…

This specific painting was reinterpreted based on specific descriptions of the colours in a letter from the painter. As far as I'm aware there is no way to know for sure what colou…

Agreed. I absolutely adore the idea of it! But all the brownish colours tell the same story. For some additional context; many old pigments were not stable at all. https://www.vang…

> Most useful async blocks are big enough that the overhead for the error cases disappears. Is it really though? In my experience many Rust applications/libraries can be quite heav…

It's not possible to learn anything about other elements when performing binary search, _except_ the only thing there is to learn: if the target is before or after the recently com…

Just tried it out and it works great and is really fast! It's a breath of fresh air compared to VS Code. Lots of other editors are fast, but this seems feature complete as well as …

That sounds terrible! Glad you made it out alive and hopefully recovered well! Out of curiosity: how much did you take per day?

It's only a matter of time before laptops get 5G. Macbooks have been rumoured for a while to get cellular modems. [1] This will probably help adoption. On the one hand it will gene…

That's very interesting! It links to: https://daniel.haxx.se/blog/2025/10/10/a-new-breed-of-analyz... and its HN discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45449348

Interesting. Is this an issue with RDS? I use Google Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL and it's been rock solid. No issues; troubleshooting works fine; all extensions we need already instal…
