I love that it doesn't feel like every other vibe coded VC backed startup.

What was this article about? It described a thing and then gave some examples. No advice. No call to action. Just some rambling. A better question is why is this post on the front page!

I like the idea of an extended standard lib for Rust, but coding was never the hard part. The hard part is getting everyone to agree what should be in it. If you can get everyone to agree to an api then the rest can easily be filled in (with or without vibe coding).

I love Apple’s efforts to implement web standards and document them well, but I really don’t understand the use for grid lanes. Is there anything I can use it for besides Pinterest clones?

That is an incredibly annoying grunge font. And what is the point of the hidden image in the background that reveals under your mouse cursor.

Wow. Maxime’s site is gorgeous.

Thank you

True , but if it had a real ISA underneath then we could write custom emulators for them.

Didn't this already happen in the late 1990s when the telecom act de-regulated radio ownership?

I’ve been vibe coding a Figma like clone and it’s fun but slow going. Creating real Photoshop clones is still a ton of work with no monetary payoff.

Where did you buy your populated boards from? I want to make a small in and not deal with SMT at all.

You’re in Eugene!? Me too. I’d love to meet up some time to talk about your software over coffee.

I’ve been following the Ohm project for years and it’s the best way to build parsers I’ve ever seen. I’ve used it to parse many program languages and even markdown. I’m happy to see it get even faster.

That is an excellent question. For me the answer is yes, but I'm unusual.

Yes. A reference to the real author who’s work inspired the cyberpunk chapters.

This too shall pass.

Seriously. I've been through too many hype cycles to count. In a few years we will look back on this and see three things:

* Both the downsides and upsides were exaggerated

* A lot of VCs lost money and many of the trillion dollar buildouts didn't happen

* after the hype died down we figured out what AI was actually good for, and what it wasn't.

There's a lot of other cool unicode glyphs besides emojis that can liven up your shell. I use the Block Elements a lot in my command line tools.

How does this technical issue affect the economy and politics? In what way would the world be different just because we used a better linker?
