That being said I think the harnesses are only getting better. And maybe we will get multi-modal models that understand architecture eventually. But the growing-the-blob-of-text tr…

I can attest to this, I had a very simple 20-line shader that I asked Claude to do a basic 90-degree rotation on it, and it just completely got it wrong. Frequently adds pointless …

freenode was run by imbeciles

The IRC servers I idled in simply never went down. Sounds impossible, I know. You can choose to believe me or not.

Times like this make me miss the IRC days, I was just able to reproduce a bug in an semi-open-source project, and Discord went down right in the middle of me sending my findings. N…

I'm with you. This entire game has already played out in the iOS jailbreak scene.

For some things there is nothing better than xxd. It is so simple.

Yeah xxd is the correct answer. If you don't want to install a dependency and have Lua installed, or if you're just feeling a little bit frisky, you can use my function which is Pr…

This is why I went with GNUstep. All of the APIs are 1:1 with Apple's, including the runtime (which is very important imo). It has AppKit support as well; its AppKit implementation…

I read this comment, about to snap back with an anecdote how I as a 13 year old was able to learn Lua quite easily, and then I stopped myself because that wasn't productive, then p…

As a complete noob to the space, as an individual, who doesn't care about being "hireable" or whatever, which one has the highest ROI? OpenTofu?

Srs question, I keep reading everywhere from experienced people Wayland sucks. I need to start learning of these stacks, should I go with Wayland or should I go with Xorg? If I did…

It does. https://github.com/q66/cffi-lua One of these days I'll port OpenResty to use PUC Lua and this FFI.

I guess it provides less freedom/flexibility on the dev side. You're forced to use LuaJIT, and you're forced to buy into OpenResty's coroutine paradigm where global variables act w…

Yeah, seems like the power law is at play here. I made my test harness in 2020 so I didn't have a choice as Lima didn't exist back then. I should have waited a year. I'll certainly…

Interesting, thanks. Looks much better than Docker/Podman. But seems to suffer from the same incentive issue. I think I'll stick with my raw QEMU setup, Lima seems like QEMU + batt…

On the topic of ditching Docker, has anyone else created a custom test harness with QEMU? I feel like I'm the only person doing it this way. QEMU's target userbase is emulators in …

> This is now my 5th time writing the GUI part of Ghostty from scratch: [...] once on macOS with SwiftUI, then on macOS with AppKit plus SwiftUI [...] Ha, that's a nice way of word…

Cook is not "about to be CEO longer than Steve Jobs", he was also CEO from 1976-1985

That's unfortunate, I would read Creative Selection if I were you

Mind throwing some links my way? I love me some Scott Forstall anecdotes. Here, I'll start: - https://randsinrepose.com/archives/innovation-is-a-fight/ - https://youtu.be/IiuVggWNq…

When Cook became CEO, all of this was inevitable. I used to blame Jobs for not picking Forstall as his successor, but it recently dawned on me that it was never his choice to begin…
