In my last session had the claude agent generated code, then tests, then the fixtures from passing the tests to the code. and gloated that all passed immediatly.

once i saw that, i'm not surprised anymore.

it somehow reminds me of stunnel, which if done over unix socket can be a very interesting proposition.

in a nutshell: clear defined helper functions are much better for comprehension than bigger functions. and they usually cost nothing ar runtime sine the compiler inlines them anyway.

But the real cost is that having a myriad of them is usually very difficult to get the right cut. not too small not too big and having a clear intend of what it exactly does.

so nothing new. API design is hard. naming thing even more so.

exactly my thought. and here thr reader view of FF is a godsend.

having 'accessible' content is not only for people with disabilities, it also help with bad color taste.

well, at least bad taste for readable content ;)

I'm actually loving HN because it hasn't such a system.

While it looks like a very good idea at first, it will evolve in echo chambers. Which are the bane of current society, as noone listen to challenging opinions anymore.

So, very much like the "ban of VPN" for minors, it is a seemingly good idea that will backfire in horrible ways.

I actually don't like to play with random people on the internet.

I prefer the comfort of knowing them, and usually do it in the old basement LAN party way.

In my young time we didn't have internet, and we were actually LESS recluse overall ;-)

I'm now even using wine & proton for it. Thanks to Valve only very few games don't work.

And it's not that i don't like windows, it is just too damn slow for me.

And no. I do not want to upgrade my gear every 2 years or so

I'm wondering if we'll see some riscv extensions specifically designed to improve x86/amd64 emulation, such as what the M1 and other did.

to be fair, it fits my exact needs. and without common javacript bloat.

so kudos to its authors

i'd say that wine has much less dev effort and the specs they re up against aren't as public as the web ones, so huge kudos to the wine team.

i'm starting to wonder what if those rust rewrites might be covert attempt to introduce back doors in plain sight?

for such security devices, there is OTP.

I prefer to have my auth device bricked than compromised.

for anything else, i want to be able to reprogram.

so for vendors, a simple choice :

* be OTP, but no "patching"

* be R/W, but also by its owner

> more choice and greater value for me

That will exactly follow Netflix's price hikes.

As in "value for money", they silenced the latter part :D

indeed. and the fact that it can be resold at will makes it much worse as you just created an gambling ecosystem
