If it happens all the time and it's positive, you shouldn't need a news story to confirm it. People should just be able to think of examples. Certainly I'm able to think of plenty of terrible results from private equity…
Omarchy is all in on AI, if you look at the recent commits and the dev workflows they have set up you can easily tell no human is looking at all the stuff they are merging. It's not the same thing as allowing some AI…
It's not strange to ban chess computers at a chess tournament, and it's equally not strange to ban AI code on a code hosting platform. The costs involved with hosting a bunch of vibe coded stuff that no one is really…
Realistically much of the most reliable software in the world was written in C. Robustness is more so a function of coding style and engineering practice than it is of the programming language chosen. Of course you…
Zig (like C) is simply not a good language to use if you're going to do many small allocations with uncorrelated lifetimes. To write robust Zig (or C) code, you must manage lifetimes yourself, for example by grouping…
OK, but that doesn't mean the comment I replied to is any less BS. What I pointed out is that if there was such a deep preference for short grass, you'd expect this globally. And this is simply not the case, empirically.
How is using arenas complex? If anything it should make things simpler to understand to people who are not used to manual memory management.
Zig is adding native vectors including operator support, there are some recent issues/prs about this topic. The general technique of SoA is pretty useful both in games and other applications, but of course I cannot…
If a business legitimately needs such information to operate, isn't it borderline impossible to 100% prevent it from leaking? If the data is there, it can be compromised either by technical means or non-technical means.…
I can say at least for me at a small-ish company (~40 FTE) there has been a surge in internal productivity tools. Nothing to improve the end user product directly but a lot of tools to make processes easier and less…
What a strange thing to publish.. just don't use it if you don't like it? What is this even attempting to do?
The obvious reason is that most file formats used by writers, accountants, etc. are binary files which do not very much benefit from git.
Seems like you need an account just to try it.
In Zig, dividing by 0 does not panic unless you decide that it should or go out of your way to use unsafe primitives [1]. Same for trying to allocate more memory than is available. The general difference is as follows…
IMO rust started at this from the wrong direction. Comparing to something like zig which just cannot panic unless the developer wrote the thing that does the panic, cannot allocate unless the developer wrote the…
I am sorry about that. What I am saying is that it's hard to trust the content given the context. And more so these articles are extremely verbose with a lot of BS in them, so it makes getting to the "content" a lot…
It's nice that people are taking this up, and one of the main benefits of open source in the first place. I have my doubts that this will succeed if it's just one guy, but maybe it takes on new life this way and I would…
In general if you have the (IMO sensible) approach of taking as few dependencies as possible and not treating them like a black box, then for any error you can simply look at the call stack and figure out the problem…
I'm kind of on the same journey, a bit less far along. One thing I have observed is that I am constantly running out of tokens in claude. I guess this is not an issue for a wealthy person like Mitchell but it does…
I have done the monte carlo thing in practice with a team and it works well under some conditions. The most important is that the team needs to actually use the task board (or whatever data source you use to get your…
I don't think things have changed that much in the time I've been doing it (roughly 20 years). Tools have evolved and new things were added but the core workflow of a developer has more or less stayed the same.
It does make sense to highlight, because this kind of statistic is a very strong indicator that the market is not competitive. This is not a normal kind of profit margin and basically everyone except for Apple would…
If the AI generated most of the code based on these prompts, it's definitely valuable to review the prompts before even looking at the code. Especially in the case where contributions come from a wide range of devs at…
A lot of Dutch government and government adjacent services run on Microsoft Azure as well. Which is not the same level of concern, but it does mean the US government has access to that data.
I understand the goal of the spec. In my experience once some spec document gets adapted widely enough, there's a strong incentive to add new features to it, which renderers would then be compelled to implement. Before…
