But even the dates they’re pointing to as evidence of fuzzing in that post pre-date Andrew Kelley’s accusation that they weren’t fuzzing. When it gets to the point of having to click HN links to other HN posts which…

This is a social media post about a comment Andrew Kelly wrote about Bun, not something that Bun wrote about Zig. It also admits that it’s based on a conversation they had with someone with an “assuming what they said…

I write a lot of Rust and work on some large-ish code bases. I’ve also done Zig work and work in other languages with fast compile times. I don’t think this is a huge moat any more. Structuring Rust codebases in a…
TigerBeetle has a unique static memory allocation strategy at launch time. It’s a strategy that sidesteps a lot of memory management issues but only works for very specific use cases. Their success with this strategy…

This is possible if you’re not picky about where you live, where you work, your career options, how crowded your local vicinity is, or how much you pay for your residence. The more your preferences or financial…

That's it. Some countries are even more open. You can walk up to pharmacies in some countries and ask for most medications without a prescription. Up until 10-20 years ago you could walk into pharmacies in some…

That's commentary on company valuations. Token prices are going down. Competition is global. A company could choose to keep their API prices high, but if another company comes in at 1/10th the price for 95% of the…

You're still getting your facts wrong. Loans are still dischargeable under certain conditions. You claimed that "a quarter century ago" student loans could be discharged in bankruptcy, but that's not really true either.…
Good catch, sorry. Was trying to put it in terms of the parent comment's "quarter century ago" claim. They didn't realize that the student loan protections had gone in a full quarter century prior to their experience,…
Using LLMs to build out the nice-to-haves that I’ve always wanted but never had time for is one of their great use cases. Visualizations are a perfect use case for this because they don’t have to be perfectly…
