  • I don't. You can't even copy to the clipboard in an insecure context.

    Except... You can! You just have to use the old deprecated and ridiculously awkward execCommand method.

    If that's so insecure why do all browser's still support it?

  • In neovim under wayland how do you guys copy and paste things?

    Jump

  • Yeah of Linux on the Desktop!

    First you'll need this guide to make copy & paste work... 🤦🏻‍♂️

  • I bought a cd key for like £4 from one of those dubious cd key sites. It worked flawlessly. I don't know how legal that is exactly (the internet isn't exactly clear on how those sites obtain keys), but tbh it's good enough for me and has no risk of malware. I figure Microsoft could easily block such keys if they wanted and they haven't.

  • Git's autocrlf feature causes more issues than it solves in my experience. I don't think there are really any tools on Windows that can't handle Unix line endings any more. Even notepad can now.

    I recommend you set it to input which will fix them to be Unix line endings on commit, and not change them back on checkout.

  • Me too. I think announcing this is good - otherwise he'll get no feedback.

    Netflix used AI in a hit show and didn't tell anyone until now

  • widely acclaimed new TV show that became a monster hit earlier this year.

    7.3 on IMDB (not great for a TV show).

  • Use the IoT LTSC version and install it using Rufus. Zero bloat, very fast, no clunk.

  • Frontend Language Feature Matrix

    Jump

  • Green is good and red is bad. If that wasn't the intent they should have used different colours.

  • Frontend Language Feature Matrix

    Jump

  • Sure, but without further context, "frontend" means the web. And "frontend language" means languages that were designed for the frontend. You can write a website fromtend in Python, but you absolutely shouldn't!

    You can use languages like Java and Rust too which are more reasonable options, but they aren't "frontend languages".

  • Interesting, but the colours for exceptions are inverted. One of the features that Elm touts on its front page is that it doesn't have exceptions.

    Structural equality is also debatable.

  • That's nitpicking. It is statically typed. Is Dart not statically typed because it has dynamic.

    You could call it "gradually typed" if you want to be pedantic.

    can be circumvented pretty easily

    That means it isn't sound.

  • Languages well suited for client side web code. Most of these (maybe all?) compile to JavaScript and are designed for the web.

  • Study (N=16) finds AI (Cursor/Claude) slows development

    Jump

  • Oh you mean when I said this?

    I expect it helps people of all experience levels fairly equally, but only with tasks that are relatively simple.

    No I don't have actual data, just direct personal experience of asking AI to do simple and complex tasks - it does much better on simple tasks, especially in very widely discussed domains (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Python etc.) Ask it any SystemVerilog stuff and it gets it wrong almost every time annoyingly!

  • What do you mean? I've seen people say that all the time on HN. No I'm not going to go and search for comments.

  • Everything web based

    Jump

  • Yeah there are pros and cons. Desktop apps are not sandboxed. Mobile apps are often missing features and are annoying to install. Websites often have poor performance or janky UX on mobile, and you need to be online, and you don't have control of their availability.

    I think the best option depends on what the thing is - ordering food from a random pub? Web site. Video editing? App.

  • Proper reasoning is always needed if you want a guarantee.

    You formally verify your regexes? Doubtful.

  • Does that imply anything at all in LLMs’ favour?

    Yes it suggest lower cognitive load.

  • Great, but I wouldn't be shouting from the rooftops how Wayland has created a better experience for users just yet.

  • Ok I can see you haven't actually come across any complex regexes yet...

    (Which is probably a good thing tbh - if you're writing complex regexes you're doing it wrong.)
