> It’s the language behind Kubernetes admission policies, Envoy’s RBAC rules, Google Cloud IAM conditions, and gRPC’s protovalidate Very small nitpick, but AFAIK protovalidate come…

Agreed, I really like Rust's Result type. Go's idea is okay, but they should force you to handle the error.

Checked exceptions were actually the "right way" to do exceptions (if there is such a thing), the problem was just that developers hated them, but I think that draws the wrong conc…

> When I write new code in Fil-C, I just lean into the GC all the way, which makes programming in C and C++ so much nicer. I don’t ref count, I don’t use smart pointers, I don’t fr…

I don't have a horse in this race, but to me this makes GPT-5.6 Sol Max look better. It is about half the cost for nearly the exact same performance. It just goes to show how expen…

I've always thought it odd that we don't use ECC as a standard on all computers. I think people really downplay the impact of memory issues. They can be devastating, especially ove…

As someone just starting out with the JS ecosystem, how does this compare to something like SurveyJs?

> Not sure how in touch you are with the author of Vale? FYI - this article is written by the author of Vale

Not necessarily Java-flavored, but internally vs externally focused, yes. More difficult FFI assuming that is the exception not the rule, and that the language itself takes precede…

> why do languages like Crystal and D still use Boehm? Languages use Boehm for exactly one reason: it is easy to shim into an otherwise manual memory system (it was designed for us…

Glad I bought a fully loaded MBP a few weeks back and not now. The price on my exact configuration just went up a whopping 29%!

This looks interesting and useful (I haven't tried it yet), but it is important to realize that every single useful Rust program has unsafe. Every single one. Why? Stdlib usage is …

I'm a little unclear as to when and under what conditions this results in non-heap objects, now (<= 64-bits?) and in the future (???). I thought that was the _ENTIRE_ point of this…

That looks very nice. How much of the UI is effectively stock gpui-component vs custom components? The charts? I assume you did custom theming?

Not only that, but asking it to do a security vulnerability assessment of your own project is a very valid and important thing, and there is no way for it to know what is yours vs …

"Accelerated depreciation (if any) from shortening the lifespan of the device will be more expensive than the electricity" Shortening the lifespan?

I am a developer, as many of us on here are. I currently have 32GB of RAM and am constantly fighting swap. 64GB would be min even w/o local model.

You are assuming I'd only get it for that. That would probably just be the straw that broke the camels back, but I'm already thinking about a purchase even if that doesn't work out…

Still trying to understand if a Macbook Pro M5 Max with 128GB is likely going to be able to run coding models well enough that I can cancel my Codex, or even go down to the $20/mon…

Ultimately it comes down to your entropy source. I always generate and insert in a loop for this reason, if there is a collision, I therefore handle that gracefully.

It isn't about the code (they probably don't even know what that is), they focus on the fact that my daily job tasks have changed entirely (iow, I used to do 'something', 'what' do…
