What "new hot JS runtimes" are you talking about? Node has been pretty stable for over a decade and a half. This is the first time that anything is even challenging that place. It just so happens that both Bun and Deno efforts started around the same time and now have to compete with each other

I think any competent company would be savvy enough to avoid lock in for a technology with adoption this low. I don't think that's what these features are aiming for. I think they're aiming for the young dev starting side projects that wants to get up and running quick. Or imagine teaching a bootcamp class and you want a tool that will do some magic for you so you can focus on explaining other complex aspects of web development

In Catalonia, my little country in the Mediterranean, Facebook’s pretty much a ghost town, especially for millennials and Gen Z. Moving people away from Instagram, though, feels like a much tougher challenge. These platforms have had over a decade to build up so much stuff for users that leaving just seems like too much effort.

I’m not sure what the future holds, but a more fragmented, federated setup feels like a way better option than sticking with the same old stable monopolies.
I mean, I have some stuff from China, some of the stuff from there is cheap and high quality, so why wouldn't I? I don't know of many consumer products from Russia, North Korea or Iran. I'm sure if there was something from those countries that I really wanted, I'd buy it.

Edit: Actually I do have a product that is kind of Russian, Flipper Zero. I'm don't remember if I bought it before they moved the company to the US though, or while it was based in Russia.

Do these Indonesian gambling sites somehow exploit the AMP cache? The apex domain of my blog was recently hijacked by such a site. I was only using the blog.* subdomain. One day I noticed on the Google search console that someone had verified themselves as a co-owner, and there was an entry for an AMP page (this was the gambling page). Putting a parking page at the apex url seemed to stop the redirects to the AMP page - and that's the solution I have for now.

I am still curious though - how does AMP make such exploits easier? Would you happen to know?

So trans people, it is no longer about 'being true to self', and now is 'i better hide to survive'.

> like an upgrade from handsaw to power tools and less like hiring a carpenter. (Which is not what the hype engine will claim).

I 100% agree with the not hiring a carpenter part but we need a better way to describe the improvement over just a handsaw. If you have domain knowledge, it can become an incredible design aid/partner. Here is a real world example as to how it is changing things for me.

I have a TreeTable component which I built 100% with LLM and when I need to update it, I just follow the instructions in this chat:

http://beta.gitsense.com/?chat=dd997ccd-5b37-4591-9200-b975f...

Right now, I am thinking about adding folders to organize chats, and here is the chat with DeepSeek for that feature:

http://beta.gitsense.com/?chat=3a94ce40-86f2-4e68-b5d7-88d33...

I'm thoroughly impressed as it suggested data structures and more for me to think about. And here I am asking it to review what was discussed to make the information easier to understand.

http://beta.gitsense.com/?chat=8c6bf5db-49a7-4511-990c-5e6ad...

All of this cost me less than a penny. I'm still waiting for my Anthropic API limit to reset and I'm going to ask Sonnet for feedback as well, and I figure that will cost me 5 cents.

I fully understand the not hiring a carpenter part, but I think what LLMs bring to the table is SO MUCH more than an upgrade to a power tool. If you know what you need and can clearly articulate it well enough, there really is no limit to what you can build with proper instructions, provided the solution is in its training data and you have a good enough BS detector.

> Developers could decide by passing flags to open.

Provided the underlying VFS has implemented them. They may not. Hence the point in the article that some developers only choose to support 'ext4' and nothing else.

> you’ll need enough free space to store both the old and new versions of your data.

The sacrifice is increased write wear on solid state devices.

> It would allow all sorts of useful programs to be written easily

Sure. As long as you don't need multiple processes to access the same file simultaneously. I think the article misses this point, too, in that, every FS on a multi user system is effectively a "distributed system." It's not distributed for _redundancy_ but it doesn't eliminate the attendant challenges.
There is nothing wrong with it. The point I am making is that “import” is overloaded to mean two distinct things in most languages: declaration of build “arguments” and supplying build “parameters”.

It is like defining a function, f(x) and then asking for how to make x = 5 always. Well, you get rid of the parameter and create a local variable in the function named x and set it to 5. That is a perfectly reasonable thing to do.

But, it would be utterly absurd to make function argument declaration look exactly the same as local variable declaration and initialization. You should have distinct syntax for those two very different operations.

Unfortunately, for build arguments and parameters, every commonly used language I am aware of either only supports one form and punts the other form to the build system or attempts to do both using the same form. That is why it is a mess.

As for versioning, that is actually a “type” problem. When you take a parameter in a function you are usually expecting it to conform to some type or interface guarantees. Build arguments should do the same, but again, I am not aware of any languages that actually manifest the “type” of a package that can be used in a build argument. So, we are stuck with the wonderful world of untyped build arguments that we shoehorn in with “type annotations” (i.e. version ranges) in the build system.
The video is indeed very nice, it shows few things [1] not mentioned on the website:

Ask HN: Why aren't there memecoins for software?
Crypto is filled with empty scams and grifts but an insane amount of money flows into these investments. Why don't we see more of these meme coins or NFTs backed by actual valuable software constructs like model weights, training data, or even just useful language expressions or abstractions?

If I could invest in, say, my favorite UI component in an open source project and that investment pumped up the dev(s) or other early investors wouldn't that create a strong economic base for developing software?

Or maybe I could invest in a particular iteration of a machine learning model. Or a particular dataset. Or a function. I'd love to hear from experts. Thanks.

I realize that is part of an ANDed condition, but it's absolutely possible for people to agree--in very definitive ways--to something they didn't read.

The alternative leads to: "Judges hate this one weird trick! Just say you didn't actually read it!"

I have a friend who setup lighting in there garage where he works on servers, he was really proud of his new lights, when I came in, I was shocked to see he picked the worst lights possible, blinding blue/white, flickering, shining directly into your face.

I don't know how he does it, but I can't stand it.

Also, at work we have fluorescent tubes, it's so bad. Sometimes when I work weekends (by my self), I'll leave them off when I get in, just use natural light. It's so much nicer. Also helps that the building "A/C" is off too. I quote it because it's a sad excuse for A/C which barely cools, just makes a huge amount of noise for doing nothing.

Sorry I never ended up replying. You are correct, in protobuf you have field numbers ( and I have to admit what I commented has been a number of years ago by now my knowledge is crusty ). Usually when doing this type of work, as I was doing, is to reverse some protocol. It didn't make me hate the format though; many protocols I had reversed in the past were vastly more complicated to decode and understand without having field names. If you ever want to melt your brain get into RTMP decoding :3

Rewire the power button so it's an easy to push switch and put it behind a target. Then your remote can be a nerf gun.

The missing feature is the ability to run on multiple servers. I want to be able to put it behind a load balancer. Kamal also has a huge issue where you can't set the "default host". This means load balancers can't work as "/up" never succeeds. I created an issue on github but the big honcho closed it without reading lol I understand the idea behind single server, but realistically you need at least two app servers to switch over when needed.

But there are many things missing from the video.

- Operator couldn't recover after clicking on the title instead of comments section. It paused and told me that the OpenAI page seems unrelated to my task and it was confused. I had to tell it to click on "comments" not on the title.

- Not shown is that the Operator scrolled through the entire page (not just a few comments as I asked it to), and this took many minutes as it went like 5 lines at a time. Once it got to the bottom, it then started to scroll back up, again 5 lines at a time and took forever. I had to pause it and tell it to just refresh.

- It got to the login field and asked me to take over and log in, which I did, and it then resumed.

- It then correctly posted the result.

Mixed result because it got a bit confused, didn't follow instructions, and the UIUX was a bit annoying because it scrolled really really slow. But kind of cool to see of course.
