fellatio··on Base44 sells to Wix for $80M cash
6 month old company (not solo; vibe coding means what here??) sold for 80M. Impressive still.
fellatio··on MCP Specification – version 2025-06-18 changes
Any model can provide perfect JSON according to a schema if you discard non-conforming logits.

I imagine that validation as you go could slow things down though.

fellatio··on Websites are tracking you via browser fingerprinting
You can avoid this by using curl. Half kidding.
fellatio··on Websites are tracking you via browser fingerprinting
The browser is a sandbox with a bunch of discoverable features. Those features exist for the user but a side effect is they leak data which individually is probably not interesting but collectively is a fingerprint.

To be less of a fingerprint you'd need to remove JS from the entire web.

fellatio··on Show HN: Unregistry – “docker push” directly to servers without a registry
Neat idea. This probably has the disadvantage of coupling deployment to a service. For example how do you scale up or red/green (you'd need the thing that does this to be aware of the push).

Edit: that thing exists it is uncloud. Just found out!

That said it's a tradeoff. If you are small, have one Hetzner VM and are happy with simplicity (and don't mind building images locally) it is great.

fellatio··on The Matrix (1999) Filming Locations – Shot-for-Shot – Sydney, Australia [video]
Ever see the military choppers doing their exercise? Amazing and scary.

I worked in that area a while back. It is (was then) a quiet part of Sydney just commercial offices and business that supports it. Despite being a fairly central location. It's a beautiful place to hang out you can walk to harbour views.
fellatio··on Andrej Karpathy's YC AI SUS talk on the future of the industry
Thanks. Your nuanced version is better. In that version I can still ignore most of LinkedIn and Twitter and assume there will still be a need for people. Not just at OMGAD (OpenAI...) but at thousands of companies.

Looks like you are putting a derivative behind a paywall though, no? I think quid pro quo let pudiklubi publish your work too? Some kind of open license?
fellatio··on Andrej Karpathy's talk on the future of the industry
Let alone productionize it! And god forbid maintain it. And have support that doesn't crap out.

Nope. Just that 1. Is better than people. 2. Isn't better than people. Pick one!

If the former then yes singularity. The only hope is it's "good will" (wouldn't bet on that) or turning off switches.

If the latter you still need more workers (programmers or whatever they'll be called) due to increased demand for compute solutions.

Pinnacle of grug is PHP and plain forms. Maybe a validate on submit in JS.

I thought debugging was table stakes. It isn't always the answer. If a lot is going on logs can be excellent (plus grep or an observability tool)

However debugging is an essential tool in the arsenal. If something is behaving oddly even the best REPL can't match debugging as a dev loop (maybe lisp excepted).

I even miss the ability to move the current execution point back in .NET now I use Go and JS. That is a killer feature. Edit and continue even more so!

Then next level is debugging unit tests. Saved me hours.

fellatio··on “Don’t mock what you don't own” in 5 minutes (2022)
Polite way here is similar to inversion of control. It's a good idea but you need a real thing test somewhere but that can be running the program in its entirety, or using the facade end to end against the real interface for a spot check.
fellatio··on 3D-printed device splits white noise into an acoustic rainbow without power
It would need to do something like spit out each frequency in a different direction then you use light material in circle that flaps when sound energy is transmitted in that direction. Sounds possible. Analog computer of sorts.
fellatio··on Timescale Is Now TigerData
Unfair anecdote as you don't mention what he said before and after "he got mad" (whatever that means).
fellatio··on The Grug Brained Developer (2022)
Unfortunately it is useful to do this for many other reasons!
fellatio··on Learning (the basics of) nftables – Evan Pratten
When do you use this vs. seperate firewall like ufw for blocking IPs? Or both for good measure?

You know a sentence is gonna be sexist when it starts "fellas"
