  • Are monorepos really simpler?

    Jump

  • a push to a repo doesn’t mean “deploy changes to everything” or “build everything” any more

    What do you mean? I have yet to work for a company that's organised and sophisticated enough to actually use a monorepo but my understanding is you'd set up something like Bazel so it only builds & tests (and I guess deploys) things that depend on your change.

  • Critical RCE Vulnerabilities Discovered in React & Next.js

    Jump

  • in the react-server package used by React Server Components (RSC).

  • Bun has been acquired by Anthropic

    Jump

  • Is Deno not convenient and fast? I am also interested in knowing why I would want to use Bun over Deno.

  • Amber version 0.5.0-alpha is publicly available

    Jump

  • I'm glad this is still alive. It's a good idea. I keep thinking about doing the same for TCL.

    I do wonder if Bash is perhaps just a bit too insane to make this really feasible though.

    Reversed range support

    This is a misfeature.

  • Zig: Migrating from GitHub to Codeberg

    Jump

  • I didn't say they are equivalent. I said I dislike them both.

  • Zig: Migrating from GitHub to Codeberg

    Jump

  • I wouldn't say those are "abominable" either. AI is fine. Microsoft actually cut off Israel's access to Azure...

    They're operating infrastructure. They aren't going to morally vet every single customer. Imagine how many dubious things run on AWS that we never hear about!

  • Zig: Migrating from GitHub to Codeberg

    Jump

  • I must have missed those abominable things...? You don't mean the ICE stuff?

  • Zig: Migrating from GitHub to Codeberg

    Jump

  • It's "relationship with ICE" is that they haven't banned an official US government agency from buying their software. I might not agree with what ICE is doing but I also don't agree with every corporation in the world having to morally police all of their customers for fear of being pilloried by cancel culturists.

    The "created by monkeys" seems to be a minor bug. What system doesn't have those? I've certainly had plenty worse bugs with Gitlab CI.

    "Completely neglected" is complaining about the lack of FreeBSD support!

    I do think GitHub is relatively neglected. There are quite a few big issues they could fix with relatively little effort but they seem to go years with no comment.

    It's not really much better with Gitlab though; the only difference is you see more "a large premium customer is requesting this" comments!

    I doubt Forgejo really have more resources to fix bugs than GitHub or Gitlab.

  • Zig: Migrating from GitHub to Codeberg

  • Why? Microsoft gives them a ton of money for CI and infrastructure. Unless they are having serious technical issues I don't see why they would move to a more expensive and probably less well integrated CI provider.

  • Programming peaked

    Jump

  • The audacity to be nostalgic for Eclipse!

  • Devs gripe about having AI shoved down their throats - The force-feeding will continue until morale improves

    Jump

  • I don't think you can blame anyone except him for not understanding that AI sometimes hallucinates. Hell basically every AI tool makes you read that before you start using it. I'm normally very reticent to blame users for using things incorrectly, but if it took him 3 hours to realise it was wrong here then I have to say that's on him.

    Come on has anyone else ever persevered with a hallucinated answer for 3 hours before realising it was a hallucination? Longest it's taken me is like 5 minutes, and that's only for things that aren't easily googleable.

  • OpenAI Demo'd Fixing Issue #2472 Live. It's Still Open Months Later.

    Jump

  • I suspect in the real world it's frustrating enough for restaurants that it wouldn't have worked out.

    You're pretty much tricking restaurant workers into one of those awful voice-based phone trees.

    Plus there are so many things that can actually happen when you try to book a table on the phone - they don't have exactly what you want but can offer you this time instead... they only have outside seating available... etc. etc.

    Plus, just having a proper online booking form is clearly a better option and not totally uncommon these days.

  • Solving Fizz Buzz with Cosines

    Jump

  • This is silly, and not in an interesting way.

  • Reversing a string in Rust (for no reason)

    Jump

  • Actually chars() is pretty simple - it's just UTF-8 decoding which is elegant and simple.

    The complexity is all around unicode, not UTF-8.

  • JavaScript engine written in Rust

    Jump

  • Bun uses JavaScriptCore. Deno uses V8.

    But yes it would be good to see a comparison to JavascriptCore and V8.

  • Rust in Android: move fast and fix things

    Jump

  • I'm not sure that's a factor here because Google doesn't use CMake or Cargo (at least not the way we all use it).

  • Make Your Java Code Null-Safe Without Rewriting

    Jump

  • Interesting. But can't you do basically the same thing with @nonnull annotations? I remember using something like that a decade ago when I last wrote Java.

  • Automated changelog generation

    Jump

  • IMO automated changelogs like these are not especially useful. Better than no changelog I guess, but nowhere near as good as a proper changelog. But proper changelogs take actual effort.

  • Using Vim is Amazing

    Jump

  • IDEs tend to work out of the box while the likes of vim or emacs need configuration and have an initially steep learning curve.

    Not in my experience. It's very easy to design systems that break IDE support. People love adding all sorts of ad hoc build scripts that mean you can't just press F5 or whatever. It takes discipline and caring about IDEs to not do that.

    And while people might love tweaking Emacs and Vim, it isn't required.
