  • Why do so many programming languages have their own package manager?

    Jump

  • I thought Bazel was just a build system, not a package manager.

  • The rust programming language is adopting a new contributing policy

    Jump

  • Not always. Prototyping can be valuable in many circumstances when you don't know the shape you'd like the code to take. Sometimes you need to try something before you know if it's right. I'd rather throw away prototype code written by an LLM than code I had to write the hard way.

  • The rust programming language is adopting a new contributing policy

    Jump

  • I don't think it's very hard to understand. It reduces the up-front cost of development.

  • Stacked pull requests are now in public preview - GitHub Changelog

    Jump

  • That is the point. By making smaller PRs, you inevitably end up with dependencies between them. So you'd like to stack them.

  • Welp

    Jump

  • Yea if you don't explicitly give it direction on how to keep the code maintainable, it will gladly just spew shit into the same file until you have 10K LOC in it.

  • Huggingface have scraped the entirety of Github.

    Jump

  • No because your code is shit; you would be helping us reach singularity faster.

  • Topcoat: The full full-stack framework for Rust

    Jump

  • You don't know the direct impact of this project on data center usage because you haven't observed the development process. And you don't know whether it infringes on copyright because you haven't read the code.

  • Topcoat: The full full-stack framework for Rust

    Jump

  • How do you know it was built irresponsibly without reading the code, which is something you should be doing when adopting a dependency anyway?

  • The Bosses Are Coding Again

    Jump

  • If you identify with this post and you are in a manager position, please heed my warning. Throw away your prototypes. Stop vibing "quick fixes to unblock me". Stop trying to help your devs because you think you're superman now. You are only pissing everyone off, I promise. The devs who didn't stop coding while you were off doing important manager/product stuff are the ones who understand what's best for the codebase. And yes, they also know how to use LLMs.

    Just because you feel like you have a new superpower doesn't mean that everyone needs to be saved. Follow the damn engineering process.

  • Sex Doll Company Plans To Create AI Teachers For New York School District

    Jump

  • Right. This will surely solve the education crisis.

  • What's your favourite "just works, day after day" Linux software?

    Jump

  • OH! tmux obviously. It's rock solid.

  • What's your favourite "just works, day after day" Linux software?

  • foot has been pretty solid for me. No complaints.

  • Yeah. I wouldn't model my lifestyle after his per se, but he is definitely an inspiration.

  • Tmux 3.7 Terminal Multiplexer Released with Initial Floating Pane Support

    Jump

  • Tmux has better keybinding support in my experience. I started on tmux, tried zellij, but I wasn't able to migrate my keybindings over. So I'm still with tmux.

  • What TV shows are absolutely worth watching?

    Jump

  • Babylon Berlin

  • Frog put Claude in a box

  • Guys. This problem is solved already. Landlock, bubblewrap, UNIX DAC.

  • You better believe I was degaussing as many CRTs as I could.

  • OpenAI made $13 billion in 2025 and lost $21 billion doing it

    Jump

  • What's their op ex though? I feel like there must be a sizable portion of that which isn't actually necessary to keep the service up.

  • Google Chrome is killing all uBlock Origin bypasses, Microsoft Edge, Opera to follow

    Jump

  • Seriously. If Google really wants to shove ads down our throats, they could at least regulate them so they're not constantly horny scams. But that would cost them money, oh the humanity.
