That’s silly. Cat will get on your keyboard anyway. The only real solution is to get heated floors. So my cat prefers sitting under my chair or desk and never gets on it.

Why so many people use ~/bin/? What’s wrong with ~/.local/bin?

Competing with each other would be trying to one-up each other feature-wise, whereas what I have witnessed was things like discussing trade-offs made in different languages and juggling around ideas on if some feature from language A would make sense in language B too.

I haven’t tried C3 myself, but I happened to interact a lot with Christopher Lerno, Ginger Bill and multiple Zig maintainers before. Was great to learn that C3, Odin and Zig weren’t competing with each other but instead learn from each other and discuss various trade-offs they made when designing their languages. Generally was a very pleasant experience to learn from them on how and why they implemented building differently or what itch they were scratching when choosing or refusing to implement certain features.

This is such a mediocre article. It provides plenty of valid reasons to consider avoiding UUID in databases, however, it doesn’t say what should be used should one want primary keys that are not easy to predict. The XOR alternative is too primitive and, well, whereas I get why should I consider avoiding UUID, then what should I use instead?

I switched to Helix a year ago and I’m very happy about it. I used to spend way too much of my free time configuring my editor and now that I can’t do that I use my free time to actually write some code!

Can it run Doom?

Crazy to have lawyer dogs before flying cars

Why would therapy dogs craft legal loopholes in the first place

All jokes aside, it's too big of a pain in the ass to have that stuff version controlled. Those file formats weren't meant to be version controlled. If there's persistent Ctrl-Z that's good enough and that's the only thing non technical people expect to have. Software should be empathetic and the most empathetic way to have the project available everywhere is either give people a remote machine they can connect to or somehow share the same editor state across all machines without any extra steps.

Video editing is not as portable as coding, there ain't no git. It doesn't surprise me that they have to do that, I imagine it's simply speedier and comfier to connect to a desktop that already has the work in progress in the latest state instead of ensuring everything is synced on different devices one uses. I also imagine that beefy MBPs with M3 and upwards could handle 4K editing of Severance (or maybe 8K) and they'd edit on local machines, should it be actually more convenient than connecting to a remote desktop. It's a bit shameful to admit, but still something we have to deal with while having such crazy advances in technology.

Will it lock the GIL if you use thread executor with asyncio for a native c / ffi extension? If that’s the case, that would also add to benefits of asyncio.

Ah yes, another paid ffmpeg wrapper for macOS users.

This was the best explanation. I forgot I used to be this awkward as well for many years and the autopilot/manual analogy is just great. I did get much better at this though through lots of practice and patiently wasting my mental energy and having many awkward interactions, now it’s all just natural to me. I’ll be called an ableist and downvoted, however, I don’t really understand what’s stopping others from suffering through discomfort to get used to it and not see it as discomfort anymore. Although I did get lucky with my friends groups at the university and first companies I worked for.

Do you think the future is behind depth analysis from 2D pictures rather than in lidar scanning? I know lidars are quite pricey, but I haven’t heard of regular camera breakthroughs in the domain.

How did Waymo do this? As far as I know, replacing drivers with an AI was the goal of ever-money-losing Uber and Lyft, however, Waymo managed to get to this much sooner while having less funds.

It’s really sad that antitez and other people involved with Redis have to deal with all that backlash and what’s even more sad is that people are going for Valkey now. All this breach of trust bullshit imo comes from blind purism that ignores the real reason behind the license change. Valkey is largely sponsored by AWS and other big tech companies so they can have community maintained storage because they cannot use Redis anymore. I hope people will open their fucking eyes for a moment and see that Redis is trying to prevent the big tech to make enormous profits from what people were thanklessly building and maintaining together for many years.

It doesn't necessarily mean that React does it right. When building React apps, developers spend too much time on designing architecture for many things that should have been taken care of by the tools they are using. The more I am in web development, be it backend or frontend, the more I'm disappointed that declarative programming is still not a thing. One too many hours wasted on reducing boilerplate, replacing big boilerplate with smaller boilerplate, optimizing boilerplate and writing that boilerplate. While still being far from perfect, other frameworks like Vue and Svelte do great job at making the developer write less boilerplate and more business logic.

Raymond has been involved in the evolution of Windows for more than 30 years. He occasionally appears on the Windows Dev Docs Twitter account to tell stories which convey no useful information.

Way to go Mr. Raymond!

Didn’t Python tackle a similar problem? I remember that dictionaries were known to be unsorted, however, when writing tests, I’ve noticed that the items were always in the same order. I don’t remember what was I looking up, but my manager and I came to a conclusion that depending on order items of a dictionary was acceptable and having to fix the tests if they somehow broke later was an okay tradeoff. Now, reading Python docs on that topic, they briefly[1] mention that dictionaries’ list views yield items in the order they were inserted without any mentions if items are sorted or not.

[1] briefly in this regard means I’ve seen it in the docs exactly once without much attention paid to that sentence

There was another story from a guy who suffered a PTSD from coding too much, who would have literal panic attacks whenever he would work on something. If you remember it, could you please link the story?

You just don't like modal editing. Switching from emacs to ed due to emacs' slowness is by no means a reasonable choice considering being limited to line-by-line editing. Ed is bare-bones and over time you will realize that you need other things that majority of other editors have, then add multi-line view support, then many other things. Emacs can be faster with native lisp compilation, but if you are adamant you want to go full bare bones, you'd be happy with nano, which has some subset of Emacs keybindings and supports syntax highlighting. If you call vim (let alone neovim) a monstrosity, you could go for vi or helix. Switching from emacs to ed is a dumb choice and rewriting ed from scratch in Rust with syntax highlighting is another dumb choice, when you could fork the thing - your rewrite doesn't even have 100 commits in 2 years, which probably indicates there's not a lot of innovation going on.

If you just wanted to rewrite ed in Rust - sure, go ahead, but just say it. My point is the reasons for hired you stated do not sound like reasonable choices at all.

This person has delusions of reasonable choices.

Not even per release, which could've been justified by what they said about automated and manual reviews of apps submitted to _third party marketplaces_.

And the conclusion this guy makes is "I will never launch an app in Europe". I am speechless. This is the same guy charging $7500 a month for 60 minutes of consulting, promising $1M ARR for your app. And him, being supposed to know what exactly Apple meant by "we are protecting our users from dangers and malwares imposed to our users by the EU and DMA", blindly shills for the top tier anti consumer comapny of the century. And there are lots of people like this just walking around, making decisions, driving, voting and posting on social media!

It’s not the first time Valve are doing something similar without any action from Nintendo. Nintendo is notorious for its lawsuits and Valve is not taking any chances. Earlier they took down Dolphin emulator from Steam, because they were worried they’d get sued by Nintendo, despite Nintendo hasn’t contacted Valve on that topic in the first place. While it seems wrong, it might have saved Dolphin team from any troubles with Nintendo legal team beforehand, since they were shipping Nintendo’s encryption keys with the emulator.

The README made it sound like git is the backend for GitHub, while it is vice versa. While git is not GitHub, GitHub is git, VCS tools in code editors and IDEs are Git and tools like GitKranen are Git.

Opinionated design is design.

Oh, damn, you are right, I had no idea. I just saw their front page, really liked its design and felt like you guys might like it as well. It's very much like Tailwind, but, unlike the latter one, it doesn't hide example components behind the paywall, which puts TACHYONS far ahead.
