metaltyphoon··on Tokenmaxxing is dead, long live tokenmaxxing
> Tokenmaxxing was never a thing to begin with.

Anecdote, I thought so too until the company I work just instated this where you have spend from 35-60K within 6 months. Insanity

metaltyphoon··on Apple raises prices of MacBooks, iPads
The M5 air is much faster than M1 Pro (I have the same setup as OP)
metaltyphoon··on Pledging another $400k to the Zig software foundation
I guess I should have been more specific. I'm not a fan of fields all being public
metaltyphoon··on Pledging another $400k to the Zig software foundation
For me, anytype and the everything is public
metaltyphoon··on Code duplication is far cheaper than the wrong abstraction (2016)
> Do you want to iterate using for loop or using .iter().step(2).map()?

I don’t think it matters, specially for sort sized loop scopes

metaltyphoon··on What job interviews taught me about Kubernetes
The grass is not always greener. I would change the Service Fabric crap I have to deal with any day to K8s.

> wsl2 (and this apple thing) is just a meme. if you're working in it, you're better of just installing Linux or ssh'ing to a server.

Many enterprises allow windows only so your way into Linux is via WSL2

metaltyphoon··on Zig: Build System Reworked
For me it’s string handling, no private, unused variable is compilation error, and having to implement interfaces myself.
metaltyphoon··on Zig: Build System Reworked
Go changed something, not sure if 20 or 21, where it will download the Go compiler of all your third-party which don’t match yours. It slows things down.
metaltyphoon··on Announcing Rust 1.96
Don't let perfect be the enemy of good enough. This is much better, IMO, than what many other languages do, including Go's modulename/v2 style.

Isn’t this what editions are for?

metaltyphoon··on .NET (OK, C#) finally gets union types
> C++ codebases

Now this one sounds almost unbelievable :). I’ve yet to see 3 or more C++ codebases using the same language feature set.

metaltyphoon··on Microsoft starts canceling Claude Code licenses
> Productivity. You generate the skeleton of the code with Codex/Claude Code/et. al. and refactor it manually.

This doesn’t mean much if you are using a terminal editor.

metaltyphoon··on Shunning AI is the human choice
> "Working my ass off as an IC who can't move up the gradient" -> "Principal Investigator, CEO, CTO, CMO, CRO of a 10-person team, captain of creation, actual Iron Man."

* Are you being compensated for all those roles you now do?

* If you do 5x does this mean you get more time for yourself or are you now busy 24/7 with more work?

* Extrapolate this all other "5x" IC, now you all are CEO CTO CMO CRO iron man. Now what?

+1. The idea of making tiling + floating a first class citizen was the best decision they made.
metaltyphoon··on Why TUIs Are Back
> My cynical take why TUIs are back is because people operating in the terminal became a signal that you were competent and once people figured that out everybody started doing it

Are you saying GUI "the real deal"?

Rust wikipedia says otherwise

metaltyphoon··on Functional programmers need to take a look at Zig
Too much casing changes, IMO

   find . -type f -mtime +21 -delete
Or if you have fd

   fd -t f --changed-before 3w -X rm

Wait… Neovim also works on windows no?

This is not even remotely true

metaltyphoon··on Raylib v6.0
That's his go to for "hello world" for different languages :D. I love it so much.
metaltyphoon··on Zig 0.16 Milestone Completed
Rust relies on a linker being installed (hopefully this will change). There is a lot of Rust libraries that are c wrappers and therefore you will need C compiler installed.

Zig on the other hand ships with everything I need to buy from one host to multiple targets out of the box.

metaltyphoon··on Zig 0.16.0 Release Notes
We all know that OP wasn't asking about THAT kind of interface and more "please create vtables for me" style of interface
metaltyphoon··on Zig 0.16.0 Release Notes
Sadly no, as fas as I'm aware. I can't think of creating vtables manually every time I need to create interfaces, I guess Zig is not for me.
metaltyphoon··on Zig 0.16 Milestone Completed
I don’t use zig daily, I rather use Rust, but damn this is awesome. I wish Rust would do this too.

Is that even possible knowing OOE+ branch execution and many other CPU tricks?
