holy shit bye bye zig and rust

Examples of incontrovertible evidence: hallucinated references, meta-comments from the LLM ("here is a 200 word summary; would you like me to make any changes?"; "the data in this table is illustrative, fill it in with the real numbers from your experiments") end/

Yeah good luck searching for "c" in your codebase a month from now

The word ‘timid’ is in ‘intimidate.’ ‘Intimidate’ means "to make timid.” That’s kind of neat, right?

@Warchamp7 That’s what tests are for.

1 million line PR and accidentally included all of the Claude scaffolding used to do it is such a perfect and beautiful encapsulation of AI fueled development You had the machine spit out 1 million lines and you still made a simple error. How many did the machine make? Mystery.

@ssbmhax Hax was a mentally sick person. Not being able to play your favorite video game is not a reason any rational person would use to kill themself. Hax didn’t kill himself because Juan didn’t help reintegrate him into Smash. Hax killed himself because he was unhinged.

You could have picked up the phone and stopped this train wreck. And you then tried to erase all of his next dms to you pleading for help but they were all copied before you erased them. So there you are - enjoy your Coinbox!

This is your community in a nutshell

@00aventurine @meesedev You can have “stacks” on the “heap”

@meesedev stack never fragments

Hot take: Stack vs heap is irrelevant. Fine, you pay an initial cost at the beginning. Who cares. Memory access patterns and time complexity dominate costs in most cases.

@meesedev Ice cold take. Everyone knows this

I'm so excited to announce a new terminal emulator! 🎉 Meet "Ratty"🐀 🧀 A GPU-rendered terminal emulator with inline 3D graphics. 🪤 Try it out: ratty-term.org ⭐ Source: github.com/orhun/ratty #rustlang #terminal #ratty #ratatui #opensource

Today, I crashed my TV (zero click) with Claude code, and heres's how: Knowing it runs linux, I asked Claude think about common vulnerabilities that a basic linux box from 2014 would be susceptible to, given it's only exposed to the local network. We tested a few out (such as heartbleed) and eventually found CVE-2012-5958, a bug in libupnp, a c lib in almost every smart tv from that era. We send a single network packet with one field a few bytes too long, overflowing a stack buffer and crashing the TV. Up next - firmware decompilation, figuring out exactly what the hell these tv manufacturers can see from you with their shady ad programs. Vizio got sued by the FTC in 2017 for secretly tracking everything you watched and selling it to advertisers!

@lukeed05 @rolldown_rs Shouldn’t it be called ‘buildtime’ since web devs don’t know what a compiler is?

In celebration of @rolldown_rs 1.0 🎉 Announcing `comptime` — a Zig-inspired build-time evaluation primitive, exposed as Vite and Rolldown plugins This allows you run code at build time, replacing the call site(s) with the evaluated output value. github.com/lukeed/comptime

I think we have an answer to why the Iran war hasn’t been that bad for the US economically. Trump suspended the Jones Act! Hormuz is closed, but we stopped blockading ourselves. Crazy this law still exists.

With v20 going EOL, all Node.js LTS versions can run TypeScript out of the box. There is no reason to keep using plain JavaScript for new projects.

Mehdi is apparently still mad about this lol

Instant page loads. No Next.js. No Nuxt. No framework at all. Just one JSON script tag. The Speculation Rules API lets plain HTML pages prerender the next page before the user even clicks.

Some interesting new insights about the war in Iran rom a Harvard Caps Harris Poll just released: -74% say the US is winning the war right now -52% support the US taking military action against Iran -43% say we should stop the fighting now vs. 34% that say we should go as long as it takes -65% say Iran is a security threat to the US -40% think Iran will eventually give up their nuclear program -54% say the US has the upper hand in negotiations

NASA HAS RELEASED OVER 12,000 IMAGES OF THE ARTEMIS II MISSION. Unbelievable perspectives captured by the Crew! The aurora on the eclipse is incredible.

Bun goes way too far in userland territories. This should have been a library not a runtime feature. Those things create more ecosystem fragmentation "runtime lock-in". Compare this to Deno, which added a standard library, that you can mostly import as ESM even from other runtimes or the browser. I like Deno's approach more.

What an amazing clip. This is the essence of Tuckerism. NYT asks him why he called Trump the Antichrist. He says he never said it. NYT shows a clip. Tucker says he doesn’t know what the Antichrist is. Jesus Christ. What a snivelling coward.
