Doing pointless things is wonderful, anyway.

>The quieter but bigger change I really wish they didn't use such stupid LLM-isms.

It's mostly a performance question in order to adhere to Java's memory model.

You can have it all in the vast majority of cases. It just requires a lot of work. See: The Hotspot JVM.

This is HN, most of it is vibes. Lol, conjecture, touch grass man. I do PL research, it's not that good at that stuff, do you think I'm not trying using it?

Yeah, I disagree on the latter point by a lot :-). Really, is it truly "orthogonal"? Not really, you will understand the details better by writing them yourself. On your first poin…

I do! A lot of the work I do is not simple CRUD, and I have to think about what's going on. Reading code doesn't do that to the same degree.

I don't think it's too weird of a take, we do things for many reasons. I get that it feels bad to have that directed at you as an accusation. It's rational to discuss the intent be…

The parent is exaggerating, but ACCM is 36 and top 8, DauT is 40 and is something like top 16, Nicov is 34 and top 8.

I wonder whether Oracle is going to go bankrupt because of this

It's awesome!

That's a bit simplified, isn't it? He's pointing out precisely that "doxing" the entire population of Denmark shouldn't be acceptable to her, and that she's literally not accepting…

If it's a contiguous array, then sure.

I'm surprised, typically we don't all take vacation at the same time, but stagger it.

Implementing STL iterators are a bloody PITA

There's also those that burn themselves out, and John Carmack!

My general experience is that LLMs are both really good and extremely bad. It's so easy to get into a hole of "No, not like that, like this" and it just never getting better (inclu…

TIL, they're back supporting each other (scroll to the bottom): Update 2026-01-26 To recap, in March 2021, the FSFE was forced to suspend our collaboration with the FSF to protect …

To be honest, miscompilations because of UB is exceedingly rare, and we do a lot of weird shit in our code.

Hello, it's me. I'm not afraid of UB.

I have used those tools, I don't think they're THAT good tbh :P

>"Research" isn't part of my job title. If you don't know what's possible then why are you deploying it? You should be telling _me_ what's possible. I mean, you _paid_ for it, how …

I had no idea that this was a thing. How can you figure out where SSL turns into plain text on its route to the destination?

> can't you just let Claude refactor it to the better architecture? In my experience, no. These tools suck at refactoring, mostly choosing to add more code instead.

That's right! I made the example in such a way that it is obvious what the bug is, for pedagogical reasons :-). This particular bug is a bit trickier to spot when you have more com…
