  • I'll probably move the 'Set my flair' function into the Membership area too, soon.

  • Linus Torvalds reaffirms that Linux is not "Anti-AI" & not a "Social Warrior" project

    Jump

  • "AI is a tool" is a thought-terminating cliche. The phrase is intended to foreclose other ways of framing the discussion.

  • YSK sharing a YouTube video could be revealing your identity

    Jump

  • It doesn't do it in comments, just when you make a post.

  • Running a full SaaS stack for $3.32/month exact breakdown

    Jump

  • Please, no. We don't want more AI-written posts.

  • Zig creator calls Bun’s Claude Rust rewrite ‘unreviewed slop’

    Jump

  • Apparently Bun was always an especially bad example of how to use Zig.

    From https://andrewkelley.me/post/my-thoughts-bun-rust-rewrite.html

    The Zig team regularly checks in on our users' projects. We read source code to find out how the language is affecting users, we test changes to see how problematic breakage might be, and we check for performance regressions.

    We became increasingly horrified at the programming practices we saw in Bun's codebase. Hacks on top of hacks. Abuse of assertions. Most of all, recklessly speeding past feature after feature with very little time taken for reflection and elimination of bugs and technical debt. Jarred was already writing slop well before he had access to LLMs. Now, it's not our business to police what our users do, but you may have noticed people screaming in our faces about memory safety constantly. You can imagine how we might want to put some social distance between ourselves and a project whose irresponsible software engineering practices invite the exact kind of criticism that people are eager to level.

    We made futile attempts to guide them towards better programming practices. There were a few exceptional heroes who did their very best in a dysfunctional company. You know who you are. But you can't stop a rising tide.

    By this time, we all felt at ZSF that Bun was a net liability, and this was before RoboBun became the #1 contributor.

  • YSK sharing a YouTube video could be revealing your identity

    Jump

  • Yeah

  • YSK sharing a YouTube video could be revealing your identity

    Jump

  • YSK PieFed automatically strips that out.

    Edit: posts only, not in comments.

  • If the warning sign “Very low reputation. Beware!” appears twice, is this a bug, or is this user especially problematic?

    Jump

  • Yes it's intentional.

    Jinja templates get really slow if you have many levels of {% include %} inside loops, like when showing many comments or posts at once.

  • Normally I am morally opposed to making new posts

    Jump

  • Or the moon icon in that place?

  • Tagging users with multiple accounts

    Jump

  • It's not released yet but is coming very very soon. :)

    Thanks for the idea.

  • Already! :-O

  • Okay, maybe I'm missing something? But it seems like the recent backlash upon our dev trying out caps upon our votes is just... WTF!?

    Jump

  • Is there any point starting this up again?

    Seems like everything that needs to be said has been said.

  • How did browsers make money before they sold user's data?

    Jump

  • afaik it was always a land-grab / gold rush mentality - capture the market, then figure out how to make money later. Now, it's later.
