Absolutely. My daily driver on all my machines. My homelab started with FreeBSD on all machines with liberal use of jails. Now it is fully OpenBSD and only the file server is running FreeBSD now. All laptops are also OpenBSD, even the M2 Macbook Air

You hiring? Sounds like a dream. Dead serious.

So, Haskell people smart, other people dumb?

Also, where do you go from "preferring strong CS theoretical grounds" to "cutting corners"? They don't have to be mutually exclusive.

That garbage collection that Haskell has? Guess where that came from. The whole "functions as data to pass around", guess where that came from. It was those pesky lispers on a Tuesday.

Edit: typo

Maybe they let 5.6 do the calculation.

Jealous of both of you

Salary range limits should be adjusted. JPY definitely needs higher ranges.

Transpiling and a LLM hallucinating some code that _somehow_ passes the tests is not really the same thing though.

With the absolute irony that you cannot watch Netflix on FreeBSD (barring using the Linux compat layer to run a Linux version of Chrome)

Because the abstractions of old still required you to read man pages and learn stuff.

And manual steps are good. At least you know what is happening.

The old Unix philosophy. Simple tools that combined become powerful.

If you use _anything_ in production, you better make sure you understand the stack.

Uhm....source?

And yes, I went into that a while ago on my blog (https://blog.wollwage.com/2026/20260212-daily-source-reading...)

Difference is that capsicum is after the fact and mostly about file descriptors. You need to open them in advance and _then_ call capsicum. But it does nothing about syscalls.

Capsicum is really nice if you plan ahead, but pledge/unveil is easy to drop into any existing code base.

And some code is absolutely unnecessary. Look at the yes command. GNU version is optimized to death for no reason at all[1].

OpenBSD's version is as simple as it gets[2].

They mostly dropped it because nobody was around who could maintain it. Wasn't just about security.

Not really those execs paying that stupidity tax though. They still get their bonuses. Pretty much zero consequences.

You really think the manufacturers or retailers will lower the prices now that people are used to the new normal? How often do you see that happen?

And why does it sound like LLM output?

If Claude gave feedback then it’s not really 100% human written is it?

Came here to quote exactly that paragraph.

That's where something like Fossil is nice, because the tickets are part of the repo.

So, you don’t have any experience in it but want to run a workshop?

Elaborate?

Nice to see that HN is coming to its senses and people are realizing the flaws and BS in AI / LLMs. We are past-peak Bitcoin / NFT on the curve and I can't wait for this wave to end and move to the next thing.

I mean, good choice, but you see the point, right? As much as ANSI CL has it's flaws, it has a standard, as much of a mixed bag it might be. Scheme is just a general potpourri of "we kinda have a guideline, but do whatever".

I would very much prefer scheme if the different implementations had a working standard. But I can't take my Chez-scheme code and throw it into Guile-scheme.

But pretty good chance I can take my ECL code and throw it into SBCL or LispWorks.

Have you?

ANSI CL is such a breath of fresh air nowadays. Does what you need, doesn't get in your way, comes with batteries included. And conditions are just god-tier.

Which Scheme are we talking about? R5RS? R7RS-small? R6RS? With SRFIs? Without? Which scheme? Is it `(library...)` or `(define-module...)`?

Exactly. And when writing your own engine, you _should_ type these lines to render a triangle definitely by hand, to understand what is being done and then use that input to build the right abstraction so one doesn't have to type it over and over again.

I highly doubt it was ever really bottlenecked by typing speed. If _that_ is your bottleneck then you either don’t care about what you write or you have a perfect plan laid out and just need to type it in.

I don't think that analogy holds. Within Civ, you are in one game. Playing 4 instances of Civ, or better: 4 instances of 4 different games is more likely the comparison.
