Cool, I just started using Racket this week, for prototyping an S-expression based DSL.

The full PDF is available here: https://ia800200.us.archive.org/13/items/SimplyScheme/Simply...

Tim Cook just created a new form of enshittyfication, not by making the product worse after completely locking their users in, but by making it impossible for many of their loyal customers to identify with the values of the company behind the product anymore, knowing very well they can not leave easily.

Haha, I had that same epiphany, also too late.

I know what you mean. I once worked at a Berlin games company with many international and US colleagues. Even after three years, I still couldn't figure out why even people I barely knew greeted me with an enthusiastic "Hey [Name]! How are you?". It always felt like a very awkward handshake.

I was against AI-assisted coding until I started a pet iOS project and used Claude (Code) Desktop to have someone to discuss my architecture and design decisions with. At first, I only accepted code snippets that I copy/pasted myself, but with Claude Code`s use of git worktrees I now more often trust Claude to edit my code.

I review every single line and keep the increments small. I also commit often. Wouldn't want to go back to coding alone.

It's obvious, the new Apple UI (and Liquid Glass) is optimized for visionOS, not macOS or iOS.

Sorry, but this is awful. Slop as a service.

Same here, it reads like a political statement. Easy enough to remove it though.

Have you tried Clojure(Script)? It could be just what you need, bottom-up programming in a Lisp-like language essentally means extending the langauge in order to solve the problem at hand.

Or, as Paul Grahmam put it in his 1993 book On Lisp: "a bottom-up style in which a program is written as a series of layers, each one acting as a sort of programming language for the one above"

Here is a talk that explains the concept in Clojure, titled Bottom Up vs Top Down Design in Clojure:

Tell that to the introvert who has to work at a supermarket cash register. Or the single parent who has to work three low income jobs just to get by.

We tech workers are spoiled, but we should have a little empathy for those who aren't as lucky as those of us who found a way to support their families by doing something they love.

This is what a website for a programming language should look like.

The majority of people don't have that luxury, and very few have it throughout their whole career. The lucky ones should be grateful this label does not apply to them and not feel insulted by the less fortunate.

I have always found it way easier to write code than to understand code written by someone else. I use Claude for research and architectural discussions, but only allow it to present code snippets, not to change any files. I treat those the same way I treat code from Stack Overflow and manually adapt them to the present coding guidelines and my aesthetics. Not a recipe for 10x, but it gets road blocks out of the way quickly.

Someone built a tool to put all the snark and harsh arrogance from the comments directly into the titles?

Just do it.

I did Advent of Code 2024 in Swift in a functional style, without using mutable state, custom data types (i.e. classes or structs) or loops.

If you’re on Mac, you can use Claude Code inside Xcode “Intelligence”.

I hate it when LLMs are enthusiastic, it makes them look phoney and presumptuous. I cannot understand how people fall for this.

And PHP.

- constantly ignore your advice

- constantly give wrong answers, with surprising confidence

- constantly apologize, then make the same mistake again immediately

- constantly forget what you just told them

- ...

For anyone interested: Takkle was "a social networking and media site geared toward those involved in high school sports: players, coaches, and fans" as per this article from 2006, aptly titled "Takkle.com, social networking for jocks".

Whenever I try to use Claude for my programming work, it surprises me with how confidentially it states wrong facts or analysis results. I spend a lot of my tokens quota just for correcting it and having it generate an apology.

The overall recommendation for an AA battery comes at 7:30.

It's the only one I buy, the white Panasonic eneloop.

I already lost all remaining respect for Tim Cook when he kissed the ring in the oval office. I wonder how Steve Jobs would have handled the current political challenges.

If you want to play as the only player, use Safari on the Mac. The downside is, your clothes are constantly changing.

I do not play video games, but I played this one through till the end and wish there was more to explore.

Metrowerks CodeWarrior wasn't too bad.

I use Safari Tab Groups on my Mac, but wish they were searchable.

I believe that in the long run, that solution would be preferable to the effects of income and wealth disparity on US society.

Sounds great, have fun!
