This is interesting to me, because Claude has been a net-positive for me. I haven't faced token issues or declining quality. I generally work with Claude as an assistant -- I may h…

I've used agent mode, but I tell it not to go hog wild and to not do anything other than what I have instructed it to do. Also, sometimes I will tell it not to change the code, and…

You can't get away from the engineering part of software engineering even if you are using LLMs. I have been using Claude Opus 4.5, and it's the best out of the models I have tried…

That is awesome -- I was looking to roll my own. This will make it much easier.

Has the JSON file structure changed in v3? I am trying to migrate from WordPress to Ghost and I was going to use v2, but now that v3 is out, I would like to migrate to v3. ( https:…

One point. Type erasure in Java is actually a bad thing -- this is because generics were added after the fact, and in order to provide compatibility with older code, Java only perf…

> The model's decision function is represented by the blue/pink background, and is clearly nonlinear. The bright red cross is the instance being explained (let's call it X). We sam…

I wasn't talking about the language, but the runtime I guess.

> For now, WebAssembly does not support garbage collection at all. Memory is managed manually (as it is in languages like C and C++). While this can make programming more difficult…

If you want something similar to Ubuntu, but something that is much more stable, I highly recommend Linux Mint. I've been using it for about 4 years now and it's a delight. Very st…

It's crazy how much motivation and passion you can get when information is so scarce, and you just want to play games :D I don't regret what I had to go through either.

Oh, wow! I did the exact same thing! I remember thinking why some files would just "run" from the command-line and why others wouldn't! I remember renaming a .TXT file to .COM or .…

Just saw your line about ISM - I was in ISM until 8th and I still remember they had those classes in the computer lab by the canteen :) I moved to ISG after 8th because my dad got …

Hello! Haha, yes I remember the computer store in Al-Harthy complex where you could get games; all pirated of course. I remember I used to go there with friends in high school! Def…

It was more or a relative assessment of difficulty than absolute; I was comparing it to what it takes to play a game these days. Back then you had to do more legwork. It wasn't obj…

Not my experience. I recently submitted a bug fix to Qt WebKit and feature to swagger. Neither of them broke anything and both were accepted. The submission processes for both proj…

That's a very good point. The standard library for JavaScript is embarrassing to say the least. But you can't really fault it given the environment for which it was created. Node w…

That's a different issue entirely. The article is talking about the quality of frameworks and libraries in JS.

This is not about pushing code to production. I don't deny that problem exists in Java. This is about the quality of libraries and frameworks.

> What this article is about? Snippets from SO answers are not as good as battle-tested code? It's obvious and it's same in all languages. It's much harder to ship SO copypasta in …

I guess my experience with CPAN has been different. Probably the most frustrating thing is the paucity of documentation from certain perl modules. But the modules I've found and us…
