i don't remember why i made this

Books only exist to steal the jobs of those who would otherwise commit our oral history to memory.

A suburban house decorated with christmas lights

That reminds me of those houses as a kid that would generate whole light shows from their christmas lights with music

Google Cloud (GCP) seems to be having a major sev-1 outage right now.

Here is my Rust Guide for C devs in the age of Vibe Coding

you don’t necessarily want the system creators to actually write the docs. but if the docs are written by people with no connection to the system that who are guided solely by user feedback, you’ve also failed. docs should be written by people hopelessly torn between the two perspectives

who is gregory and why does his calendar rock

Installing an AI assistant for my AI assistant to use, to help it work more productively. I just need to repeat this a few more times until I reach infinite productivity.

the only good thing about the AI bubble thus far is that more things support markdown

forget the awards, this guy wins hearts man

your ceiling is someone else's

People don't know about

let Some(y) = x else { return };

Not even tsoding

Yes you can with let else syntax

ah

let Some(y) = x else {...} is usually way better than if let Some(y) = x {} anyway

if let Some(z) = x.is_some_and(|y| y.len() == 2).then(|| x.unwrap()) {
do_stuff_with(z);
}
probably deranged posting but you can flatten this

if x.is_some_and(|x| x.len() == 2)

Seems like the replies with images here have been word wrapped, but are aligned correctly.

Hahaha

If someone from Apple sees this, or you know someone at Apple who works on Logic Pro, please notify them that they should update their MIDI input logic such that

A key on command with a velocity 0 IS a key off command.

I think this knowledge could save lives

The thing about "A.I." in art and writing and health insurance decision making and customer service and government services and a million other things... is that it sucks. And people are very very very tired of stuff that sucks.

Questions about code design, and the little implications of writing something a particular way over another way. Not all poems read or act in the same way, and sometimes, one is better than the other for peculiar, sometimes seemingly irrelevant reasons

This is super fascinating! I'm wondering if Porffor is dependent on a direct interface between browsers and WASM? Can't find that proposal, but I know the idea has been around for a while. Will Porffor still need to generate JS bindings to communicate with the DOM? I'd love to look at the perf diffs

The architecture must change. Human beings are not feed-forward networks. We're cyclic graph "runtimes" 🤓. Once people wake up to this understanding will we see true progress in this field.

God I'm getting nerd-sniped by this article. I'll show what I mean

even if this turns out to be wildly overstating things, you can _feel_ the hype train slowing down. remember when every week brought some new superlative-defying development? that doesn't happen any more.

previous AI winters didn't have the potential to blow up an entire sector. feels... perilous

Implying that robots should have to prove they’re not human? 🤔

If you’re targeting Python only, there’s a better way…
