- mrbonnerThe agentic development scene has slowly turned into a full-blown JavaScript circus—bright lights, loud chatter, and endless acts that all look suspiciously familiar. We keep wrapping the same old problems in shiny new packages, parading them around as if they’re groundbreaking innovations. How long before the crowd grows tired of yet another round of “RFC” performances?
- And if you don't agree with me, I don't have to explain to you!
- I can’t help but wonder: if we had poured the same amount of money into fusion energy research and development, how far might we have come in just three short years?
- Really? I bought an Archer AC1200 at Costco. It was a recent model at the time but received no updates after 1 year.
- I suspect that the OpenRouter result originates from a quantized hosting provider. The difference compared to the direct API call from Moonshot is striking, almost like night and day. It creates a peculiar user and developer experience since OpenRouter enforces quantization restrictions only at the API level, rather than at the account settings level.
- I believe draw.io achieves complete state persistence solely through the URL. This allows you to effortlessly share your diagrams with others by simply providing a link that contains an embedded Base64-encoded string representing the diagram’s data. However, I’m uncertain whether this approach would qualify as a “state container” according to the definition presented in the article.
- Is there a jj tutorial not assuming git knowledge at all? I'd love to see how to approach jj without git.
- The Turbo Pascal “IDE” was my very first dive into programming, and it’s still the best experience I’ve ever had! Maybe it’s just because it was my first, but wow, it already had tons of cool features back then, like syntax highlighting, step debugging with breakpoints, and a quick peek at variable values.
Do you think there’s anything like that out there today? The only ones I can think of that are closed are nano and micro editors, but I wouldn’t really call them IDEs.
- I can’t quite put my finger on why this doesn’t excite me. First, there was MCP — and honestly, my feelings about it were mixed. In the end, it’s just tool calling, only now the tools are hosted somewhere else instead of being implemented as function calls. Then comes this new “skill” concept. Isn’t it just another round of renaming what we already do? We’ve been using Markdown files to guide our coding agents for ages. Overall, it feels like yet another case of “a new spin on an old thing.”
- It’s on there, right? And that “thought leader” title they’ve put on LinkedIn? I’m still scratching my head trying to figure out what that means!
- I'm waiting for the day when the iphone would be equipped with an M chip. Maybe not long of a wait I hope.
- A side note: is it just me or not but I prefer my new car to still providing tactile buttons to control things? I get that smart cars like Tesla wants to push touch-screen on everything but the control mechanism just feels clunky for me. When I sit on a car with physical buttons, I know exactly where they are and what they do when I press & turn them.
- It is as good as the desktop version from my experience.
- This is not applicable on iOS. The Firefox app remains a wrapper built on Apple’s WebKit engine rather than a fully native implementation. However, with the recent release of uBlock for iOS, Safari has become significantly more tolerable. I’ve tried many so‑called “browsers” (acknowledging they’re all essentially WebKit wrappers), but none match Safari’s energy efficiency or the seamlessness of its sync features.
- What about YouTube? I was watching a cooking show there with my kids the other day when, out of nowhere, an ad popped up, something about a jacket called “Bear” something. A man in the ad was trying to unzip his jacket, but his awkward, jerky movements looked shockingly inappropriate to the woman standing behind him. It was horribly embarrassing for the whole family, and to make matters worse, the ad blasted at twice the volume of the show we were watching.
Whatever the product is, they will never have me as a customer.
- What a story! Thank you for sharing.
- In many ways, the fear of hunger is deeply ingrained within us as human beings. Our instincts continually drive us to optimize for consumption and survival. Yet, how often do we pause to reflect on how much of our daily lives revolve around thoughts of food or the pursuit of security?
- The horror that starvation inflicts on the human mind is beyond comparison. My grandfather experienced this firsthand when he fled from the Japanese invasion, an occupation that stripped civilians of their food supply. He helplessly watched as his parents, relatives, and even his older brother succumbed one by one to hunger. Barely escaping the same fate, he fled the country just before starvation could claim his own life.
When I was eight years old, I asked him why he always kept a room filled with dried cassava root. His reply was simple but unforgettable: dying from starvation is the most terrifying experience imaginable, and he was determined never to endure it again.
- For me, it isn't 100% language warts. It is the customer experience that matters the most for me. Can I compile and ship my products to my customers without having them to install a VMs, container runtime or a language runtime? That the question that is critical for me.
- I used to work in a really big bank. One of our primary responsibility is to "convert" trade algorithm from spreadsheet to an actual production program/code. The usability of spreadsheet to show a concept quickly is great. But it is a nightmare to have to understand and debug during the conversion.
