Nobody should feel insulted simply because a project decides to port its codebase to another language. It is a technical decision, not a personal attack. Zig’s response has been a …

Those problems are partly attributable to Zig itself. If the project accepted AI-assisted contributions, this controversy might never have happened. Completely shutting out one sid…

From a supply-chain perspective, Cargo is still in the same broad risk category as npm and PyPI: installing packages means trusting externally published code, including code that m…

This is frustratingly one-sided writing. Yeah, WebRTC has limitations, but relying on a standard buys you a lot of correctness and reduces long-term engineering cost. The fact that…

Yeah, GCC’s recent major releases have been remarkably regular, much like Fedora’s spring releases, and their releases seem to fit into the same broader rhythm. Hint? Red Hat.

Just use Fedora :)

As LLMs improve and adoption grows, maintaining a FOSS project is becoming more complex and more expensive in terms of time and manpower. That part is easy to understand. It is als…

Does the Python ecosystem have anything like pnpm’s minimumReleaseAge setting? Maybe I’m being overly paranoid, but it feels like every internet-facing ecosystem should have someth…

It feels like many democratic leaders are starting to think the CCP model—mass surveillance of citizens—is the right direction, with growing demands for chat control, facial verifi…

Interesting idea overall, and I would support doing this if we can. Some constraints are: - Non-programmers are not used to working with Git. - In practice, they (usually PMs or fe…

Damn. Please use UTC. From my understanding: Peak time (non-promo): UTC 12:00–18:00 / KST (UTC+9): 21:00–03:00 Off-peak time (promo): UTC 18:00–12:00 / KST (UTC+9): 03:00–21:00 I g…

Atari? I never expected to see that ancient name again. If I remember correctly, I've been playing OpenTTD for more than a decade without the original TTD assets, and I usually bui…

Cool. Let’s release Android NDK for Linux arm64 host, too.

The strength—and also the weakness—lies in how WASM is consumed in the browser. During instantiation, JavaScript engines validate the module and reject it if it uses unsupported in…

I don’t think there is a good algorithm (or guts) for differentiating between well-written comments and AI-generated comments.

That’s super interesting—I didn’t know that. Before modern standardization, maintaining calendars and clocks was typically the responsibility of states or similar authorities, ofte…

Yuck. I’ve already noticed compilation times increasing from C++17 to C++20, and this feature makes it much worse. I guess I’ll need to audit any reflection usage in third-party de…

I assume you live in the free world. Some socialist states in history, such as East Germany, pushed child-rearing and early education much further into the hands of the state throu…

Fxxk off, to all political actors pretending this is about child protection. Protecting children is not the job of the OS, the device manufacturer, or the internet service provider…

Well, it’s a clever idea. Discord seems to have intentionally softened its age-verification steps so it can tell regulators, “we’re doing something to protect children,” while stil…
