I seem to remember to have watched a recent comparison on YT between Second Reality using SB vs GUS, and I did appreciate an audible improvement with the latter, but it may have been a placebo -- I admit you may be…
Yeah, it infused my software engineering career and interest in optimisation and 3-D rendering. P.S. When we invent the time machine, we should go back to load up on actual GUS _and_ spread the word for people to never…
I think a fundamental and flawed assumption in your general line of argument boils down to that line: > Social people will be fine Thing is, "social" is not only a scale, it's not even a line for scale. It's this…
During my teenage years in what is today a post-Soviet country -- to put it in apt context -- I was briefly an absolutely ecstatic owner of a Gravis Ultrasound (Classic, I believe) card. I probably had spent my _annual_…
Fewer people aren't staring into their phones or talking to them -- makes your social antennas pick up automatically on not wanting to disturb them (lest you draw their ire for not having the social antennas long enough…
Right, if what you mean is making the `=""` optional, then it seems even more attractive than types, I admit. You'd have to amend the XML grammar to see if making the `=""` introduces problematic (for e.g. the reference…
Can you think of a minor syntax error example that you believe should be corrected by the browser, and better than the author would (had the Web browser notified them early -- by aborting rendering as was the case with…
I think this is _the_ most popular criticism of HTML 5 vs. XML, that I have seen mentioned. Which is telling, quite frankly. It makes me think that the powers that be that pushed HTML 5 really had a different agenda…
I looked at CSTML, and frankly, it looks like any other improvement that upon first glance may seem like definite improvement, but the trouble with these dialects or ideas is that it's not the format that's hard to…
I agree we shouldn't have thrown the baby out with the bathwater -- and it's not like _strictness_ was not in XML's spirit, so your usual suspects for primitive types -- numbers and booleans, to name a few -- _could_…
Every time XML comes up, I feel obligated to share my opinion (I too wrote XML a the turn of the millennium and have seen it become and still witness on occasion it being excommunicated). XML is verbose and therefore…
In our shop, I wasn't one of those who knew Docker in and out, got just enough into it I could containerise applications we needed to have containerised, which was of a modest scope -- no crazy networking setup that…
These were my thoughts more or less, but how many Chens does the world's largest software company need to at least maintain the now "legacy" code before they find a way not to need them any longer. Maybe they're betting…
> Writing few characters more has never been an issue, at best it's annoying. I don't think the implication is that writing is the issue. In my experience it's the _reading_ that is an issue. I don't mind writing…
It's a great idea but I've lately adopted the habit of just looking at the code and noting SLOC count. I am bewildered how people today add code like there's no tomorrow, I suppose the advocates would quote "literate…
The fact that Raymond Chen is debugging these kind of issues, tells me Microsoft is short on staff that has his particular set of skills, handing him the hairiest issues from the annals of Windows. The new hires are…
Verbiage? What about the _nounage_?
Damn, tough reading about the 1 week deadline for finding work, then getting one after telling them you're jailed and them taking the chance on you. I also found the article written so well (I suppose we don't encounter…
As opposed to, I don't know, a _file system_?
But I didn't mention any law? My first sentence is written the way it is, for a reason?
If the kind of proxying isn't illegal, in my opinion it should be -- saying it's bordering on circumvention of fundamental assumptions about Internet routing and IP address leasing (and ownership), would be a sorry…
The point is that MCP solves a problem that doesn't _really_ exist. While consuming context, which is still at a premium. Claiming that services wouldn't be accessible to agents without MCP is at best misleading -- they…
I've been using the em-dash for years, having started doing so well before the dawn of LLMs -- needless to say the fact it is used as a telltale sign of LLM writing, doesn't gladden me one bit. Also because I value…
I feel like your sentiment mirrors my thoughts exactly on this. Since this isn't the Reddit comment section (I hear people here prefer a bit more elaboration and argumentative nuance with their $BEVERAGE), I feel…
