when one single programming language becomes someone’s identity they become impossible to reason with. everything becomes self-defense of the internal identity. would be nice to instead have their gifts in the public commons absent that issue. many such cases, unfortunately.

I expect people who work on programming languages to have exceptional taste. Looking at the blog post from the Zig team, it unfortunately appears they have poor taste. It’s likely to severely impact their future adoption.

My code quality standard is "How would John Carmack and Fabrice Bellard write it if they had to work together?"
John Carmack@ID_AA_Carmack
I admire Fabrice Bellard. He is almost certainly a better overall programmer than I am.

@mitchellh Yes, Zig made Bun possible. Bun went from me coding in a smelly room in Oakland for a year solo to a team & among the most widely used tools in the JavaScript ecosystem, and a lot of that is thanks to Zig.
Should’ve held off merging the PR until the blog post was done.

Great question! Stringout Desktop is core-native on Mac (Tauri, Bun, and Swift Apple CoreML). I’m not hearing users need Windows or Linux support right now, which actually surprises me, but if/when added I would go native to hardware configurations there too.
Will Diffusion Studio Pro be multi-platform too? I’m super into Tauri and Rust lately

Stringout is not impacted by CVE-2026-44578.
Prasenjit@prasenx
Next.js just got its worst vulnerability ever, CVSS 8.6. → affects versions 13.4.13+, 14.x, 15.x, and 16.0.0–16.2.4 → attackers can access your internal services, cloud credentials, API keys, and admin panels → no authentication needed → one crafted request is all it takes → roughly 79,000 instances are exploitable right now → vercel-hosted apps are safe, self-hosted are not upgrade to 15.5.16 or 16.2.5 immediately.

Stringout.com is safe from the widespread package supply chain issue! I instituted a 2 week minimum release age long before this
🇮🇹 Massimo De Luisa@massimodeluisa
Easier way to protect yourself (if you are not infected yet) is to set a minimum release age in your package manager. For @npmjs: `npm config set min-release-age=2d` For @pnpmjs: `pnpm config set minimumReleaseAge 2880` For @bunjavascript: ``` # In bunfig.toml [install] minimumReleaseAge = 172800 ``` For Yarn: `yarn config set npmMinimalAgeGate "48h"`

10 PB (10,000 TB) of data is like 500 physical hard drives, at least. it’s physically so much weight you’d need the entire FedEx truck to ship it somewhere. it’s the equivalent of maxing out a Fios 10G fiber internet connection for ~92 days straight
Robb Allen@ItsRobbAllen
I worked for a company back in the 90s that had petabytes of data when most people couldn't understand the term gigabytes. At one point the company was trying to do an off-site data storage system. The problem was that there was no bandwidth on Earth that would allow them to transmit that much data. The only way to do it was to literally build an entire disk array that was in the petabyte range, copy it, and physically ship it to the off-site storage. Even today if I'm not mistaken, Amazon offers something very similar where they will literally drive a semi-truck full of hard drives. They will plug into your system, download the data, and then drive it back to the cloud because it's faster to do it that way than to rely on the internet.

@David_Rudnick Because the best manufacturing closed down when the market went out of style. Technically we still have the technology (knowledge) but the cost to physically setup “the technology,” hire and train workers, etc is too high. Interesting video tho: youtube.com/watch?v=2DWtkS…

was there any compelling reason the industrial design of this had to look like cheap dogshit?

@MentionLux @ky__zo @cursor_ai new ways to override ⌘E drive me crazy. sublime/textmate bindings are burned into memory!!
English
@ky__zo @cursor_ai same for shortcuts, CMD+E is configured as "Find with Selection" and somehow they overrode it with some panel action???
English
guys at @cursor_ai can you please slow down with changing the ui every 2 days?
i'm like constantly confused between the agent and editor, feels like the buttons change every day. just make a decision and stick with it becaus re-learning ui every day suuuucks
English
the real pro move is to not arrive during rush hour whenever possible (lol)
otherwise, having done this many times with the current construction, for ARRIVALS in T5 take a yellow cab. it saves a long walk to the airtrain connecting to the subway and app pickup area. tho with traffic not much faster than the A train tbh
English
@thetransitagend Is Apple Maps better?
What's the pro move to get from JFK Terminal 5 to W 62rd St? And estimated time end-to-end?
English
the real lesson here is that google maps is dogshit for public transit directions
Raphael Schaad@raphaelschaad
How crazy is it that public trans from JFK into Manhattan is as slow as CYCLING (!) from the airport home 🤦♂️
