I like to think that MSVC management has the STL running in single-maintainer mode because they've noticed I'm productive enough to be a Standard Library In A Box

Authors, maintainers, editors and distributors of “this software” would pledge to ensure the software remained free and publicly accessible, and would also vow to “take his or her own life with a sword upon failure to uphold any of the pledges in this license,” the illustration read

I practiced a lot with Claude for mock interviews. It's not necessarily that Claude is able to predict what questions will be asked. In fact, I think Claude has a 100% failure rate in predicting what will be asked. But it really helped me in practicing my story telling and highlighting my strengths.

If you remove complexity, Rust has an argument for being "objectively the best language". And AI did just that, it removed the complexity.

My guess is, within the next 3-5 years, most ALGOL descendant languages will become obsolete, and S-exp based Lisp dialects will take over. Objectively superior.

You wake up in a strange place. Something happened. Everything's gone. No wallet/keys/smartphone/tablet/laptop. How would you get back into your digital life given only a laptop with access to the Internet, unless something, somewhere is passwordauthenticate=yes.

Note that we’re not actually going to be using C++20 coroutines. I’m just using the co_yield keyword.

As someone who writes high-reliability C++ […] it isn't clear that [Contracts] solves a problem that anyone has in real codebases

Wildcards in command line arguments are not supported—using these in original versions of sudo was usually a sign of mis-configuration and consequently sudo-rs simply forbids using them. The only supported use is ’*’ as the final argument to indicate “zero or more subsequent arguments”

Our PRs got a lot bigger since half the team started using agents. 1,000+ line diffs touching 30 files are normal now, and the GitHub diff view just isn't built for it.

ParticleDB had a --pg-password option, but 1.1.4 through 1.1.18.8 lacked any option to set the username. Some of the documentation indicated the default username was admin, while other pages said it was particledb. Neither appeared to work

People are still thinking of AI slop from the ChaGPT 4 days. But the way things are going, very soon, human written code will be ridiculed and considered irresponsible.
