All the AI-native developers are twiddling their thumbs because Copilot is out of office.

It's cool and spooky that the patient will no longer have heart beat, because the rotor will deliver continuous blood flow.

Maybe it's helpful to analyze TypeScript's track record in deprecating features and creating breaking changes, which could be a big red flag to TC39. I'm all for typing support but my work is mostly prototyping on short lived projects. People maintaining production systems that will eventually become legacy systems might have a different opinion.

Is there a slippery slope? Node -> Browser

Wow, that 6-set visualization feels more asymmetric than 2,3,4,5. Is there an upper bound to the number of sets you can visualize in 2D, and how about 3D?

It can also be a book chapter, a month.day. Unless the comparison specifically asked for decimals, there is no single true answer.

I think we need to differentiate: Visualize a program vs. Visually program.

This post seems to still focus the former while an earlier HN post on Scoped Propagators https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40916193 showed what's possible with the latter. It specifically showed what's possible when programming with graphs.

Bret Victor might argue visualizing a program is still "drawing dead fish".

The power of visual programming is diminished if the programmer aims to produce source-code as the final medium and only use visualization on top of language. It would be much more interesting to investigate "visual first" programming where the programmer aims to author, and more importantly think, primarily in the visual medium.

p.s. The Muse in that email is not even a art generation tool. It's a just a rent-seeking business that profits off of other people's work.

I'm curious how developers' sentiment towards code generation tools like Copilot compares to artists' sentiment towards art generation tools like MJ/SD/DallE.

As a developer myself, I want to see coding as a creative act and feel uneasy about the idea of relying on a tool that makes the code one tab away. But I also recognize most of the coding we do is in a commercial context where artistic expression is less relevant.

Reminds me of Gerald Sussman's talk "We Really Don't Know How to Compute!" (2011)

It's just damn cool to see how many ways there are to obfuscate email addresses

It feels like a half baked feature. The other (missing) half would be automatically converting a single value into an array of length 1 when the receiving end expects an array.

The Monad Manifesto mentioned in the podcast:

Any one has compared it with gpt-4o specifically? And what language(s) have you tried?

Wanna see a plot of this against each company's stock price deviation from the airline industry benchmark.

Visualizing beta reduction in this notation reminds me of the Interaction Combinators, recently popularized by the Bend programming language.

Can we interpret this as good news of Ladybird but bad news for Serenity? If Ladybird drops support for SerenityOS, what would be its built-in browser?

Nitpick, the purple blue gradient is overused, especially as the background of source code examples. It hinders readability and feels off-brand for a Wikimedia project. This might be foreshadowing a descent into chasing trends. I just hope Wikimedia does not follow Mozilla's track in spending budget on fluff work.

These two blob posts by the author seems to be revealing:

"Shell company" takes on a new meaning!

Not interesting in the service but fascinated by this new wave of re-modularization and re-integration of services through the lens of Ben Thompson aggregation theory.

Modularizers like 2markdown are building single purpose services optimized for LLM workloads

Aggregators like ChatGPT fights for end-to-end AI experience.

It's just exciting to watch.

How does scaling work for SSH? e.g. How many concurrent connections can the server handle?

Good visualization is worth a thousand words! I wonder if Rust stream can contain streams themselves, i.e. higher order streams as in seen in RxJS? I found it very difficult to visualize anything that is of higher order. The RxJS marble diagram was helpful to some extent but they are static.

This reminds me of all the breakfast and health related research done by Quaker.

The upvote triangle seems a little off too.

A microcosm of the wasm issue was captured in this thread:

https://github.com/isomorphic-git/isomorphic-git/issues/268

The community had good reasoning around implementing a web based git in JavaScript from scratch instead of compiling libgit2 to wasm.
