I have meetings in LA and it looks like the first meeting is in reach of the subway AND it's both cheaper than quicker than driving, guess I'm taking the Metro, y'all

Three words: Alex P Keaton

How comes that many people hate on Common Lisp? It's the OG code generation tool and when I look around everyone is hyping up those LLMs for the code gen. Common Lisp macros can produce more correct, 100% deterministic, 100% debuggable code, basically for free. Where trillion VC dollar for SBCL?

Please come and be an AI hater with me

In 1999 you could get a full time tech job if you knew 3 html tags.

3 years later, after Dot-Com, you couldn’t get a job without a master’s and 10 years experience.

That’s what this whole «I vibe coded myself to a Silicon Valley job» sounds like to me.

I hear criticisms of Ledger but accuracy problems are not among them ledger-cli.org

And bsky.app/profile/norm...

The inimitable Aphyr is back with more excellent writing on a complex subject

Modern DRAM is based on a brilliant design from IBM.

But, we're still paying for a latency penalty that's existed since the 60s!

In this video, I'm introducing my research project (Tailslayer) that immensely reduces p99.99 latency on traditional RAM!

Me too, trees. Me too.

- Should "newly created" be hyphenated? - Yes — "newly-created role" should be hyphenated since it's a compound modifier before a noun. Good catch. - I thought compound modifiers ending in -ly aren't hyphenated? - You're right, I was wrong. Adverbs ending in -ly don't take a hyphen because the -ly already signals that it's modifying the next word. So "newly created role" without the hyphen is correct.

My corporate job has a policy where we have to send them proof that we're using the enterprise AI solution they've forced on us. I just sent in this as my proof for the week.

This whole story has been staggering as a software engineer, for how poor a job Cubic has done at a task that isn’t very hard by today’s tech standards. The MTC must hold Cubic accountable for utterly failing to deliver at the public’s expense.

California should also be investing more in Cal-ITP!

And her epiphany that things had gotten unacceptably bad was... Orange Sky Day? Somehow caused by tech workers?

I respect that the leaked source code for the Claude client is protected by copyright.

But wouldn’t it be ok for me to train my LLM on it?

You know, fair use and all that.

C++26 is done.
It ships with senders/receivers and task.
This is the foundation of async programming and provides "structured concurrency" ensuring that no sub-part can outlive the scope of work, or be lost.
It is general purpose and a complete model of computing.

GitHub hits CTRL-Z, decides it will train its AI with user data after all As of April 24 you'll be feeding the Octocat unless you opt out Microsoft's GitHub next month plans to begin using customer interaction data – "specifically inputs, outputs, code snippets, and associated context" – to train its AI models.…

The script really writes itself

Using "the working poor" to defend car dependency is a straw man argument. Forcing low-income workers to shoulder the massive financial burden of car ownership is the actual policy failure. We need to design better transportation options in lieu of subsidizing gas.

Terminal Collective Terminal Collective is a community for open-source terminal software enthusiasts. We bring together developers of terminal software and users who share a passion for the terminal and its ecosystem.

I'm launching "Terminal Tuesdays" 🖥️

🐁 A biweekly meetup where someone from the community showcases their terminal setup.

💯 Configs, TUIs, scripts, weird hacks

📡 Join our Discord: discord.com/invite/6EUER...

▶️ Going to be recorded & published: youtube.com/@terminalcol...

Is this more or less weird than doing it in Emacs? One assumes the graphics are better.

San Francisco could implement congestion pricing and make actual BART (and Muni) ridership skyrocket.

Plus traffic would be reduced, and they’d generate tons of revenue for transit and bike/walk improvements.

I hope City leaders will move on this after we pass the transit funding measures.

For those who read this and are enraged, a reminder that the Sierra Club is a grassroots organization and its leaders are elected by members, which any resident of their Chapter's geographic region (in this case, San Mateo, Santa Clara, and San Benito counties) may become by joining online.

So relatable

We must pick our hottest process engineers and steer them towards politics.

Another (often unspoken) issue with buses in many US communities is social class. Outside of major metro areas, buses are often seen as transportation for folks who can't afford a car or have lost their license for DUI. They're not seen as transportation of choice, but of necessity.

RIP declarative code I guess
