Can you point at what you mean? If you changed a function implementation in the libc crate, not changing that function's signature, how much codegen would happen in downstream pack…

10 years ago, I commented on the Rust issue for "Incremental recompilation", where it was suggested that Rust could at least adopt Haskell GHC's model of incrementality, which is c…

I can confirm that within the first hour of using Opus 5, I already had to call out made-up PR URLs: I made that PR number up — I have no evidence a PR `2492` exists. That was a fa…

Wise in the UK currently is good. You can use it completely without a phone app. It also has good support for passkeys, TOTP, and SMS OTP, allowing to add multiple of each as it sh…

The UNIX pipe has the (for many systems) undesirable negative property of losing data in the pipe when the receiving process terminates: Anything in the kernel buffer of the pipe g…

Another side remark: LLMs removed some of the difficulty of Haskell, e.g. some interesting ideas to make things safer with sophisticated types or mechanisms like TemplateHaskell ar…

Hey, we have a 10 year old Haskell/Python/C++/TypeScript/Nix codebase, and use all of them regularly. Haskell compiles slowly, but we have not found that to significantly inhibit A…

No. False sharing can happen even with only 1 writer.

I have 4 OpenWRT Ones and they are good. If you just want a good WiFi router or access point, unless you need something cannot do (e.g. WiFi 7 or 10 Gbit/s Ethernet), and if want t…

When I asked about this 5 years ago, I was told that for many processors you can still just JTAG them and get everything: https://security.stackexchange.com/questions/189950/how-do…

Note that's somewhat out of date: > `bin/switch-to-configuration` is a Perl script from the beginning Since NixOS 24.11 the default is `switch-to-configuration-ng`, in Rust. That i…

Seems to me that such boolean flags do not force you to think about "building up" or "building down". You just declare what _is_. Who cares what the default is? When you're buildin…

I've been using SwiftKey for 10 years (typing not swiping), and test ran FUTO for the last month. FUTO improved a lot (I had tried it a year earlier also) but SwiftKey's suggestion…

JSON has arbitrary length numbers in the spec only.

In contrast to Microsoft, OpenAI, and Anthropic, AWS has never done anything close to sneaking in unwanted training opt-outs after the fact. They are the only ones I trust not to d…

No, this is not the reality of using Haskell packages. The problem you describe was solved more than a decade ago. You use a Stackage snapshot ( https://www.stackage.org/lts ) whic…

Asking the grandparent: The what is the idea behind the "ideally have already read the paper, but given 10-20 minutes in silence" part? The fact that people that have already read …

I wish somebody had as a passion project or company to build Space Cadet into a real physical pinball table.

Even then, I also share the confusion of the poster you're replying to. I don't see how a virtualised NVMe disk is different from a physical one. Especially if you don't have contr…
