zidoo··on When everyone has AI and the company still learns nothing
Once people try to increase quality instead of speed they will see how LLMs are powerful. Everything else is just sales pitch by Nvidia and friends.
zidoo··on Claude’s C Compiler vs. GCC
CCC was and is a marketing stunt for a new model launch. Impressive, but still suffers from the same 80:20 rule. These 20% are optimizations, and we all know where the devel in “let me write my own language”.
zidoo··on Static sites with Python, uv, Caddy, and Docker
Why don't you just upload the HTML/CSS/JS files to a folder and point Apache or Nginx to that folder?
zidoo··on Replacing tmux in my dev workflow
I read the whole thing, but I have a rule: I stop reading any review that includes “huge fan of <any_software>.” Like many things in life, getting too emotional isn’t usually helpful. :)

I really do appreciate that younger generations are eager to write new software and push things forward — but reinventing lukewarm water isn’t the way to go. And yet, here we are, deep into the era of exactly that.

That said, it seems like Kitty and tmux are actually quite different tools after all.

Amen for the first sentence. One more LLM wrapper today, and I would die.

free vpn == click highjacking on affiliate networks. but botnets will work too.
zidoo··on US Robotics 56k Modems
Unprecedented status symbol in Bosnia at the end of 90's and being of 00's. Must have for people with with low quality phone line.
zidoo··on Windows 11 livestream crashes as Microsoft decides to not use YouTube
https://youtu.be/7Y_RZf5i_LE Anyway, ... looks like some things will remain the same
zidoo··on Linus Torvalds on Rust support in kernel
I really miss old Linus - This email is way too long :). However, it is 100% on point.
zidoo··on Keyboard with Trackpad for iPad Pro
Yes. Works well in the browser, and in my case, that covers a lot of time in google docs. I believe that is the case for a lot of people. For a lot of actual mobile/tablet app, it is kind unintuitive.
zidoo··on Serverless: slower and more expensive
amen
zidoo··on The perfect language and why Go still isn't it
There is no such thing as perfect. Good is good enough. Go is good for a lot of things.
