😡 😡

they really just calculate a wishful integer and then make a blocking recvmsg

why does everybody gotta make their text boxes do weird shit

I'm constantly fighting against:
- alt tabbing to reference a number and coming back and finding the selection cursor now selecting all
- select all not letting me move the cursor to the end
- copy paste being disabled for no reason whatsoever
- trying to click to move the selection copies to my clipboard, overwriting the contents that I was going to paste at that position
- insertion of digits that I didn't enter

Carmen already winning by a lot

@codinghorror @aral my website does not have cookie banners but yours does

@codinghorror @aral

you make money from ads on stack exchange so you are biased in the conversation.

switch business models to be ad-free and then I want to hear your perspective after that.

@jpmens they really, really, want us to stop programming for free, and start paying rent https://andrewkelley.me/post/renting-is-for-suckers.html

10 years 🥳

everyone tryna trick me into paying like $20/month for programming

NICE TRY!

programming is free, suckas

I don't get it, where's the rest of the 197 MiB of executable size of clang coming from?

we got a 14M zig compiler here that:

has x86, aarch64, wasm, sparc, riscv64, C, llvm backends

compiles zig and C code

fetches from git, http, TLS protocols

decompresses zstd, flate, xz tarballs, zip files

performs code formatting, reduce, objcopy, win32 resource compilation

links macho, elf, wasm, coff

cross-compiles to linux (any glibc version), macos, windows, freebsd, netbsd

Feels like most of what I do as software project lead is say, "wrong mountain. don't climb that one." over and over again

@lanodan if it's not perfect it's surprisingly bad

"surprisingly good" software does not exist when you demand perfection

this is art

duolingo is for unserious people

I just reclaimed about 700 MiB of working memory by switching to Ghostty from Konsole. Convenient that it ships with NixOS stable now!

Thanks to Alex Rønne Petersen, ziglang.org now has automated FreeBSD builds available on the download page (including master branch).

"it's like copying code from stack overflow" is not the rock solid defense you think it is

@linus it tickles me that I can see the bitrate of the music I'm listening to based on the read rate of the music player app

and since it's FLAC encoded, when it gets to silence at the end of a track it goes down to 0, and then comes back when the music picks back up in complexity 😀

@linus ooh here we go, you can see the bitrate dip between tracks

you know how when you're a kid, you can't really make permanent mistakes? if you do it's kinda your parents fault, you know? until you become a teenager and then you start doing things like driving a car, having sex, saying yes or no to drugs, and all the sudden your choices are permanent for your entire life

I feel like humanity itself has entered its teenage years.
