Now i need one that explains the css counters

I thought of the 2000 version first which made this much funnier in my head

Great point about testing. The knee jerk reaction to defend this enormous rewrite because it passes a test suite reminds me of a Rick Hickey classic: what’s true of every bug found in the field? It passed all the tests.

I would love to see the actual negative and the other shots he took at that location.

After Thariq's infamous "our react TUI is actually a game engine" tweet i can't help but smirk at these headlines and wonder if it's satire or not.

The fact that tsz can compile to wasm might actually give you an even more interesting feature that tsgo can't (yet): using the type checker for data validation at runtime.

Damn

Very interesting stuff. Are any builds of Sail still available for use?

My view is that side projects are not meant to be finished at all. Ideally they shouldn’t be more than an outlet for scratching a creative itch, and like any creative project, if your main motivation shifts from a personal goal to something vapid like testing the market viability of an idea that’s costing you a lot of time and effort to begin with then you’re going about it the wrong way.

Good grief that codebase is absolute hell, almost too good of an example of accidental complexity.

Agreed. Lerner has an unique way of digging into solipsism that's truly genuine and comical (whereas I feel Knausgård and most of the autofiction crowd's stuff comes across as glorified navel-gazing). It's no wonder he's been compared to Foster Wallace in that regard, who also wrote about deeply human struggles yet still is dismissed as a lit-bro pseudointellectual.

So MCP servers all over again? I mean at the end of the day this is yet another way of injecting data into a prompt that’s fed to a model and returned back to you.

Haha alright good point

I don’t see the need to buy it back other than for boosting the brand narrative.

But you did say “Claude is already able to find CVEs on expert level.”

There’s probably a subconscious incentive to make a tool that’s “complex” because the underlying LLM also is complex.

Somebody somewhere is bragging to someone about using React to render a grid of ASCII characters.

I don’t know how to phrase this without sounding like an arrogant idiot but seriously: what are people actually programming with agents + worktrees + harnesses + tasks + skills + whatnot? Most workflows I see people adopt involve large amounts of infrastructural fluff only to (more) quickly generate what I (anecdotally) have seen is somewhere between code generation of boilerplatish React/laravel/your-fav-framework components for web or native, and niche toy apps for mostly personal use. My very limited usage of agents has been for scanning large (bloated) codebases to get rid of unused code, meaning time consuming and tedious tasks. But it seems the general trend is that programmers just want faster horses?

Sure. The glyph replacements match the "plain" style of SF Mono, Inter, etc.

I stopped looking for fonts after I got comfortable tweaking the metric settings of Iosevka. My current setup exports a set of really compressed cuts (more compressed than Pragmata Pro) which I've always found hard to come by.

You have to realise every single UI up to that point was solid white or grey and unable to access alpha channels. And the fact that they expanded upon this design “language” with the transparent Imac cases made it all cohesive and 2YK hip.

This type of slop comment is somehow worse than spam.

>After a week, scores of iterations, it can reverse engineer any website

Cool, let’s see the proof.

Build steps are realistically speaking inevitable because of minification, tree-shaking, etc. which is not even a big deal these days with tools like esbuild. For a "true" DOM-first component reactive system just use Web Components and any Signals library out there and you're good.

Yes and no. You get notified if someone else actually asks for your revenue info and so in practice nobody actually does it.

Because the UAE happily keeps their air space open to the US, and their economy is driven (largely) by rich westerners.

> Two years ago Cloudflare released an API for creating servers in JavaScript. Now every modern JavaScript cloud provider supports it.

This is so ridiculously far from the truth lol. Every JS runtime after node has been championing web APIs and that’s how you get the fetch API’s Request/Response outside the browser.

I've always remapped ctrl+r to U as u (undo) and U (redo) feel more consistent with other shortcuts. I suspect this already is very common.

How is this different than simply committing between changes? Or even asking the agent to commit changes as it edits files.

Fighting fire with fire

i tested sonnet 4.5 just last week on a zig codebase and it has to be instructed the std.ArrayList syntax every time.
