  • macOS 26 introduces the Containerization Framework: "enables developers to create, download, or run Linux container images directly on Mac"

    Jump

  • pretty scant on details. what is this doing for me that Podman or Containerd aren’t? “oPtIMizeD fOR aPPlE SiLICon” is fluff

  • xq: Query XML data using XPath

    Jump

  • nushell has replaced all such tools for me. it’s so nice to have a shell environment and structured data parser with a common language interface. once you load the data into nushell it’s trivial to use the same query language you’d use for YAML or JSON or TOML or XML or CSV or your company’s bespoke language that you wrote a parser for in 30 minutes. that plus all the other tooling like a math engine and tools like date humanize and having a modern scripting language and so much more. i can’t recommend nushell enough for people who work with lots of structured data, whether that’s logs or datasets or config files or whatever.

  • Google quietly paused the rollout of its AI-powered ‘Ask Photos’ search feature

    Jump

  • it’s so much worse than the normal search. i would search for “dog” or “pasta” or “house” and get a pretty good result, but this conversational shit is just plain worse. and the “conversational” aspect is useless

  • Meta plans to replace humans with AI to automate up to 90% of its privacy and integrity risk assessments, including in sensitive areas like violent content

    Jump

  • pretty common misconception about how “AI” works. models aren’t constantly learning. their weights are frozen before deployment. they can infer from context quite a bit, but they won’t meaningfully change without human intervention (for now)

  • Lawsuit from University of Central Florida professor targeted for tweets survives summary judgment motions

  • is there such a thing as “legitimate criticism” against an entire race of people? this writer is bonkers, and you can tell from the intro. seems like the actual content of the post was buried beneath the first paragraph where a rare few would find it. maybe it was wrong or illegal to fire this guy for being a racist asshole (being a state funded org or something?), but couching it in this narrative of “cancel culture” and “a violation of the first amendment” has fashy vibes to me. institutions should be allowed to control the narrative set by their employees. i understand that as part of my company my words reflect on them, and it’s up to their discretion whether they want to continue to associate with me based on the things i say. you have every right to say racist shit on your favorite fascist-owned platform, but everyone else has the right to tell you to fuck off.

    also big downvote for posting this in a technology community

  • All four major web browsers are about to lose 80% of their funding | by Dan Fabulich | Apr, 2025

    Jump

  • not really. using WASM as your full stack for your front end is just adding to the complexity and jank. WASM is there for compute heavy stuff. you can use it that way if you want.

  • i know i’m in the minority here so i’m not going to bury myself in this hole, but i do think those are addressable problems. many of them have been addressed. replacing Javascript is exactly what i’m talking about.

  • there may be a little angst from reading and rereading the “Max-Age” portion of the cookie RFC that caused this trauma

  • All four major web browsers are about to lose 80% of their funding | by Dan Fabulich | Apr, 2025

    Jump

  • this is my most controversial take in computing in general:

    i’ve always hated the browser. the reason there are only a few working browser engines is that HTTP and the HTML/CSS/JS tech stack is a gigantic pile of tech debt, and even using Chromium and Firefox you run into edge cases where, for certain edge cases, they don’t always follow the specs as defined in these ancient RFCs. and these specs: why tf are they treated as gospel? which software product specs drafted 50 years ago get this kind of reverence? why is it that other GUIs have had tons of iteration, not just of their spec but their full stack implementation (Wayland, .NET, Kotlin Compose, SwiftUI, etc), but we’re all just fine with this mess of janky boomer protocols cuz it lets startups get to market faster? why is downloading an entire app (less some caching) every time you want to use it feel less cumbersome than installing something native to the runtime environment where the protocols can be tightly controlled by the developer and not subject to whatever security and storage protocols whatever browser implementation decides is good for you? cookies? really? the browser should be reimagined with a tighter set of protocols that allow you to look at brochure sites and download content, ie apps. even the best web apps are a janky mess and have never worked better than properly developed desktop GUI. /rant

  • CodeBullet is good content. it’s a little bit of genZ cringe, but the guy is persistent and has some really cool projects using more “traditional” AI (A*, deep Q learning, etc)

  • Vibe Coding is not an excuse for low-quality work

    Jump

  • that’s your definition, sure. outputs absolutely have to be checked or the entire thing is objectively pointless, but it’s not. where you want to draw that line is a semantic argument i’m not interested in. but if you submit shit code to my repos and come to me saying, “oh i was vibe coding”, that’s a paddlin

  • Vibe Coding is not an excuse for low-quality work

    Jump

  • i mean, i’ve done it. there’s always some sort of review process. and if the process is just “wrong, do it again” without examining any piece of it, you’re going to have a bad time producing anything of real value anyway

  • Vibe Coding is not an excuse for low-quality work

    Jump

  • i think i understood. your point was that all AI code is shit by definition, which isn’t true. structurally, LLMs are going to produce better output than your average junior dev. but i find it personally insulting when someone submits code that they could barely find the effort to review themselves and expect me to either rubber stamp it or put more effort in to review than they could be bothered to.

  • Vibe Coding is not an excuse for low-quality work

    Jump

  • hell no it’s not. i don’t give a shit how you wrote the code, but i’m not accepting PRs that are shit cuz you used a shit tool to write the code. i’ve already reviewed some goddamn doozies that i’m 99% confident were just “write this for me” and barely reviewed.

  • Microsoft has now fired the employees who publicly protested the company supplying AI tech to the Israeli military

    Jump

  • ngl, sometimes it is. it depends on the game. usually the problem is anti-cheat, but Valve has been working on improving that with many games working out of the box today. i’d say if you’re playing single player games, once you get Proton installed it’s virtually the same experience.

    check out https://www.protondb.com/

    if your games are gold or above on there, i’d go ahead and pull the trigger.
