paraboul··on Cloudflare Global Network experiencing issues
All trains are stuck in south of France for « broken signalisation ». Wonder how related this is.

Edit: it was related

Edit2: They edited the article stating it wasn't related.

paraboul··on Libghostty is coming
Chill, there was literally one single update since the initial launch. It's not like it's getting breaking changes every day.
paraboul··on Claude Code: Now in Beta in Zed
extentions in Zed are just languages support and themes.
paraboul··on We rewrote the Ghostty GTK application
I'm not sure how the fact that it's complicated to compile makes it unready for prime time.

As for $TERM, you can simply default it to `xterm-256color` which is more than enough

paraboul··on You can now disable all AI features in Zed
Remember that Zed hasn't reached 1.0. On other platform, it is much faster and consume much less battery. Just like ghostty, to me the most attracting feature is knowing my editor/term is not backed by a browser engine.

paraboul··on Zig's new LinkedList API (it's time to learn fieldParentPtr)
Of course. But I wouldn’t qualify "multi-container use" to be an advantage of intrusive data structures per se.
paraboul··on Zig's new LinkedList API (it's time to learn fieldParentPtr)
That's not an advantage of intrusive data structures then. That's precisely an advantage of non-intrusive data structure : object can be inserted in an arbitrary number of containers
paraboul··on Zig's new LinkedList API (it's time to learn fieldParentPtr)
> the same object can be part of multiple containers at once

I'm not sure I understand this one. Since the object contains the reference to where it belongs inside a container (e.g. object.node.next) how can it be re-used in multiple containers. Conversely, in a non-intrusive data structure, multiple containers can hold a ref to the same object through an intermediate node object

paraboul··on Meta debuts Friends tab, Mark Zuckerberg pushes 'throwback to OG Facebook'
This is absolutely untrue. My feed literally only displays suggested content from page I'm not following (with a small "join" CTA above the page name). Most of these are garbage content I'm not interested into and not shared by my friends
paraboul··on Release Notes for Ghostty 1.1.0
Agreed. Ghostty has become my goto Zig reference.
paraboul··on AAA Gaming on Asahi Linux
This is part of the web DNA. Pages linking pages and being aware about it. Origin can still disable it.
paraboul··on Show HN: Play with an interactive heatmap of SF crime (and other cities)
Not really, since your chance of being a victim is divided by the number of people in the area.
paraboul··on France high-speed rail traffic disrupted by 'malicious acts' on Olympic ceremony
And yet, with a new major election just around the corner, major conservative newspaper is already blaming left-wing activists without any evidence

paraboul··on Grok
Being free to use doesn't mean it ships with the original recipe.
paraboul··on WebKit switching to Skia for 2d graphics rendering
Well, it powers web rendering in Chrome
paraboul··on Truth Social reports $73M net loss since launch
A much smaller loss, how much loss per active user though?
paraboul··on TypeScript 5.2's new keyword: 'Using'
Agreed with OP, the title is misleading. Typescript technically doesn't introduce any new runtime feature. This is basically a polyfill for an upcoming Javascript feature.
paraboul··on Apple's Vision Pro headset deserves to be ridiculed
Are you implying that voicing concerns about the potential societal implications of technology is no longer valid or justifiable?
paraboul··on Don Knuth plays with ChatGPT
Doesn't mean it's simple
paraboul··on Don Knuth plays with ChatGPT
Because language models don't work as you might expect. It might be a simple task for deterministic algorithm, not so much for language based inference model. There are no hard coded rules for specific requests
paraboul··on Updating our inactive account policies
Account handles will not recyclable (for obvious security considerations). So this seems more akin to "permanently disabled" rather than "deleted"
paraboul··on OrbStack – Fast, lightweight Docker Desktop and Colima alternative for macOS
Tried it a couple of days ago, and I could really notice the speed & battery improvement. Impressive for what seems to be a one man project (of 18yo according to his twitter bio ?!).

Reading the architecture page (https://docs.orbstack.dev/architecture), OrbStack seems more than just a simple wrapper around Docker tools, but some clever custom kernel tricks and network stack.

You don't have to "use" ahrefs for them to crawl your website
paraboul··on Meilisearch 1.0 – Open-source search engine built in Rust
I was referring to the server daemon, not the client libraries.

But ofc, it's a process not an embeddable library, so you can't just link it against your app like you would with SQLite or rocksdb.

Although it looks like it's build around their core library "milli" though (https://github.com/meilisearch/milli/), so probably something doable in the future?

paraboul··on Meilisearch 1.0 – Open-source search engine built in Rust
I've been using Meilisearch in production for quite some time now, and TBH it has been one of the easiest service to maintain (I mean, it's just a single statically linked binary) and with close to zero configuration.
paraboul··on Meilisearch 1.0 – Open-source search engine built in Rust
For some reason "built in Rust" resonate with "unbloated" to me, which can be quite appealing for this kind of software.
paraboul··on Placing #1 in Advent of Code with GPT-3
I think it's time to bring back the terms "lamers" and "script kiddies" :)
paraboul··on Sonic: Fast, lightweight and schema-less search backend
Hey jabo,

I migrated in April 2021 (latest version of typesense & meilisearch at that time).

I don't have a public dataset has it was a fairly large ecommerce catalog with close to ~500k entries. And again, it was just my own perception which is hard to define. I just found that Typesense was a bit off compared to Meilisearch on search accuracy, and of course could totally be different today with a more recent release.
