Great, let them do whatever they want
awestroke··on Rio: Terminal app built over WebGPU, WebAssembly and Rust
Feel free to use those things
awestroke··on Rio: Terminal app built over WebGPU, WebAssembly and Rust
Well, if you search for these projects yourself and read the first few paragraphs on their websites, you might learn the selling points. Warp has a lot of features that are just not possible in urxvt.
awestroke··on Rio: Terminal app built over WebGPU, WebAssembly and Rust
Well just limit the scroll buffer then
awestroke··on Rio: Terminal app built over WebGPU, WebAssembly and Rust
Just use a non-graphical ssh session if you just want a shell on the remote machine
awestroke··on Regent – Electric coastal travel
That's a very very american way of thinking
awestroke··on Nginx 1.25.0: experimental HTTP/3 support
> Now you know that the Caddyfile is just converted to JSON for you.

> The Caddyfile seems easier than JSON, but should you always use it? There are pros and cons to each approach. The answer depends on your requirements and use case.

Followed by a table comparing the json and caddyfile approaches. What's the confusion?

awestroke··on Why I Use Elm in 2023
Yes, your comment seems to be devoid of any point
awestroke··on Nintendo updates 3DS to block Bannerbomb3 despite eShop discontinuation
Source?
awestroke··on Why I Use Elm in 2023
This is very uncommon to do and cannot be compared to exceptions
awestroke··on Why I Use Elm in 2023
Oh, so somebody liking language features that you find unnecessary is "obsession with language features"?
awestroke··on Why I Use Elm in 2023
> Languages like Go and Elm spurn extravagance. They resist overcomplication. They force me to solve real problems instead of fighting compiler errors and stylistic differences.

I hate this mindset. "<my favorite language> is used to solve REAL problems, other languages are not as good for creating VALUE. Any powerful language features, ergonomic syntactical sugar or tooling that does not exist in <my favorite language> is useless". So strange

awestroke··on Apple is rewriting Foundation in Swift
The appeal of swift is that it is lightyears better than ObjectiveC. To ObjC developers that are used to being treated like trash by Apple (abysmal documentation, stone age IDE and tooling etc) that's huge
awestroke··on PrivateGPT
That depends on which model you use it with. It's "bring your own model"
awestroke··on The long life of Apache httpd 2.4
I've used nginx for a long time, but for the last few years I've been using Caddy for my projects. So easy to set up, easier configs and automatic tls certificates via letsencrypt
awestroke··on US Air Force shoots down drone swarm with THOR microwave weapon
Still a good thing that they can stop massively asymmetric attacks (huge number of cheap drones with cheap explosives)
awestroke··on Apple Restricts Employee Use of ChatGPT, Joining Other Companies Wary of Leaks
Americans use the weirdest units...
awestroke··on Managing State with Signals
The idea in and of itself is not what is being rediscovered. Nobody is reinventing the wheel. It's whether the implementation is ergonomic and powerful that determines whether it catches on.
awestroke··on Apple’s new headset meets reality
Did they sell this circuit board strapped to plywood as a product? Exactly, they didn't.

They have probably iterated a lot, what makes you think they haven't? You have zero visibility into their process

awestroke··on Apple’s new headset meets reality
AirPods have very very small screens, you could even say nonexistent. Their compute capacity is not very large either
awestroke··on Apple’s new headset meets reality
Sounds super boring. I'm glad you're not in charge of Apple
awestroke··on ChatGPT app for iOS
Also much better in every way

awestroke··on What happened with ASUS routers this morning?
Nobody is asking that
awestroke··on Google will soon let Pixel phones double as dashcams
An in-memory circular buffer will wear out NAND flash? Which phones use NAND flash as memory?
awestroke··on Google will soon let Pixel phones double as dashcams
It'll probably be an in-memory circular buffer of the last n minutes, and then you get to save it if anything happens

It'll probably be an in-memory circular buffer of the last n minutes, and then you get to save it if anything happens
awestroke··on A guidance language for controlling LLMs
I don't know why, but I find this hilarious. Imagine if this style of llm prompting becomes commonplace
awestroke··on US Senator Uses ChatGPT for Opening Remarks at a Hearing on AI
Old? Chatgpt has only existed for half a year, v4 for a month
awestroke··on Artists must be allowed to make bad work
People must be allowed to judge and write off artists solely based on the last thing they made
