I used sonnet five today to evaluate work I’m doing on an experimental programming language with an interesting concurrency model. I asked it to try to figure out why one of the examples wasn’t working. It read the…
The same thing I've been concerned about for years. These things can sound extremely confident and be wrong. If you're out of your depth with these tools, you'll find a "trustworthy sounding partner" who's basically…
I've worked at a place that used this abomination called "Jira Align"... I think I'd rather do my own dental work without anesthetic.
I recall thinking about these things quite a bit when reading Michael Abrash back in the 90s. How much of that advice applies to anything these days is questionable. Back then we used to squeeze as much as possible from…
You have to build a computer to learn about computers!
Have always been fond of Oberon! I would love to have A2/ActiveOberon/BlueBottle or whatever the name of the day is on a small native machine as well. Great Stuff!
XML was once like violence... if you're not getting the results you wanted you should just use more of it. We do not need to go back to that. XML is a step backwards to what was already a step backwards.
Wikipedia seems to say he passed yesterday.
> Juniors are still getting hired because they're still way cheaper and they're just as capable as using AI as anyone. That is pretty context sensitive. You're correct that there's no real deep AI use expertise broadly…
Indeed Edgar Allan Poe had a thing or two to say about newspapers. https://poestories.com/quotes.php (and scroll down a bit). > “We should bear in mind that, in general, it is the object of our newspapers rather to…

I wonder if this kind of architecture would be fun to build an L4 microkernel based system with. Context switching and message passing (synchronous anyway) are the same thing when you consider how rendezvous works. BLWP…
It made coding way different for me. I'm able to get a proof-of-concept for an idea up pretty quick, and then I have to go back and decide if I like the style it produced. I feel more like a software producer or…
Cocaine toilet man of the brain worms speaks with authority for the anti-vaxxers and here we are.
I think this is how IBM is making tons of money on mainframes. A lot of what people are doing with cloud can be done on premises with the right levels of virtualization.…
I still see "INCORRECT STATEMENT" in my dreams.
Uh... brother?! Just kidding... That sounds like my journey as well. I had friends in the neighborhood who also had the TI-99/4a. We all had Cub Scouts and Boy's Life magazine listings to key in. Did you have the data…
Hopefully staying as such. I like Numbers, but I suspect I could totally replace my use of it with Emacs org-mode.
I thought Keynote, Pages, and Numbers were complimentary. Or part of an iCloud subscription or something. Is that changing?
I understand the downvoting, but recent events of the last year in the United States have reminded me that if you want people to mourn you after you're gone — not acting certain ways is a good way to get there. I cannot…

Or not.
I think ed is still a great editor for specific tasks. As a plan 9/9front user, when you get yourself into trouble, it's sometimes the only editor you've got left (like when graphics doesn't initialize, which I've not…
Was that not basically in the same vein as Google's NaCL? Was that not largely abandoned due to the success of WASM. lol?
I think this thinking makes sense if you've not used enough programming languages pragmatically. But, if you squint, great API design is a bit like embedded domain specific language design as well. I think there's room…
