slekker··on A faster path to container images in Bazel
As I've read through the post, seeing phrases like "Why this matters for performance", usage of em-dashes and lists/bullet points, screams AI written to me. I appreciate you saying it wasn't, but such is the fate of who wrote this to write like LLMs do nowadays. I also liked to use em-dashes and bullet lists but am consciously avoiding them now.
slekker··on Fabrice Bellard: Biography (2009) [pdf]
I doubt it, although LLMs seem to do well on low-level (ASM level instructions).

Definitely sad to see this everywhere nowadays, tech choices made because of AI

Can you share the part of the article where this is mentioned or a source?
slekker··on I'm the Canadian who was detained by ICE for two weeks
Did you read the article? It was precisely because of the media attention that she got out fast, she even said so herself.

slekker··on Americans Are Heading for the Exits
If you are a SWE, there are a bunch of jobs that offer visa sponsorship in the EU. You can check the countries that allow double nationality and usually takes 5-6 years to get it, but that probably means learning another language, unless you go to Ireland, where the housing crisis is one of the worst in Europe. The salary is going to be lower, taxes will be higher, but you'll probably have a better quality of life in general. It's all about trade-offs.

slekker··on Great things about Rust that aren't just performance
The "billion dollar mistake" in Go is a non-issue: there's no security consequences (it panics safely) and it is the easiest kind of error to fix, it tells you exactly where the null pointer is.
slekker··on A Walk with LuaJIT
Why do you think that?
slekker··on An Update on Apple M1/M2 GPU Drivers
Is that a fact or are you speculating?

I'm learning F# and have been using VSCode. How different/better JetBrains Rider support for F# is?
slekker··on First images from Euclid are in
What we know about mathematics can't prove or disprove things we simply don't have any idea of. Think as if other beings would live in a different frequency plane (outside of our 3 spacial + 1 time), our instruments and theorems can't detect that.
