I write Rust code. I don’t mind it. But the truth is, I use very little of the language. I visit the Discord, and I see all the crazy overcomplicated shit these people are writing. If I had to try and make heads or…
The breaking changes version to version. Zig tends to be quite liberal about moving forward, as should be expected at its version level. It simply outpaces the llms datasets.
I feel like this article means well, but assembly or machine level types are not the same. Sure, the assembler and cpu will execute the instruction with the given type, but the next instruction can use a different…
Step 1: download windows media tool Step 2: create iso with said tool Step 3: use rufus to make iso into bootable usb with the installation options you want Step 4: reformat & install Step 5: Drivers Step 6: chrome…
There’s a reason people say don’t meet your heroes. No matter how elevated they are in your mind, they’re still just people. One pants leg at a time and all.
Ah yes, the lulz, the great American pastime.
Yes, duffel bags full. But it doesn't take too many cash purchases that are not inline with your tax returns before somebody is going to start snooping around. edit: although sometimes, a lot longer than one might…
Maybe not the actual quality, but if I put a $50k Rolex on the table and a $50 Timex, 98/100 people will choose the Rolex, right or wrong.
Wow. At least I know who downvoted me. Maybe you should take a step back and realize that sofware developers themselves are not the primary purchasers of most software. The average joe or jane purchaser doesn't have…
One of my favorite phrases is “the market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent.” Even if all signs point to impending doom, at the end of the day if people are still buying, stocks will hold their value.
The difference, and I think we as an industry will have to reconcile this depending on how advanced llms get, is that you don’t see the quality in handmade code like you do in a high end watch or a luxury automobile or…
They are aligning more closely with the Rust 2024 model for unsafety, which requires inner annotations at the point of unsafety in addition to notation of the function (unless it is the safe-unsafe boundary) plus it…
It's been over for years. Google scares companies into bidding against each other just to be seen. It's a complete farce & a racket. It's the pay to play web.
That's ironic given the active 0-day exploits going on in the wild right now: https://www.theregister.com/on-prem/2026/05/15/exploited-exc...
OS Development has halted in 1970 at this point. I know everybody loves Unix, but it has the same problem as Windows- namely that anything you run under your user context has access to your whole user context. And it…
They still prioritize developers, look at .NET Core, Typescript, NPM, Github (lol), but the problem is that they're not Windows exclusive enclaves anymore. In fact, I'd bet most people now deploy (and probably develop)…
What good does A/B testing do if both options are shit?
I share the sentiment unless you're working in an area where Python's library ecosystem is simply the better choice. When I vibe, it's C# all the way. Not a popular opinion on HN, but the LLMs are trained heavily on the…
You would think that, but PDF is not really a format for text. It's a format that describes typography and graphics layout & formatting. It's not uncommon for a text pdf to not contain all of the text it renders (due to…
I think you misunderstood. My comment was meant to imply that people would be extra careful about all new software for a while. I know cpanel isn't unproven. It's been around forever.
This flurry of activity is certainly going to have people be more apprehensive about unproven software that may be of dubious prominence. My question amid all of this is who else knew about these long-standing…
I quit for 9 years and went back to drinking. I do it once every few months now, just to have a beer or three with old friends. But I didn't get dragged back in, in fact, it's been 2 months since I drank again. Just had…
I agree. .NET is the opposite of Go. Calls to System.Random use Xoshiro128++ under the hood (as of .NET 6 I believe). On the other hand, calls to RandomNumberGenerator.GetBytes() are cryptographically secure, using the…
This is disappointing. 4o has been performing great for me, and now I see I only have access to the 5-level models. Already it's not as good. More verbose with technical wording, but it adds very little to what I'm…
I hear this a lot, and I do seem to remember back when I first got Windows 11 I might have seen something stupid like Candy Crush, but I'll be honest, I literally never see ads anywhere in the OS. Truth be told I hardly…
