I like parrots.

vips7L··on Using Go for Mobile Apps
Kotlin is great on the server too.
vips7L··on Using Go for Mobile Apps
I don’t get it. Why not just use dart for the app backend? I understand not using it on the server because it’s not mature there.
vips7L··on Why write code in 2026
> Why would you think that?

Because you’re claiming to not debug, and that you’ve gone from 1 hour to 10 seconds. I can only go off of what you tell me here.

vips7L··on Show HN: Ant – A JavaScript runtime and ecosystem
This is very much still the slop era.
vips7L··on Why write code in 2026
Sure, if you prefer low quality go ahead. Many people have always preferred low quality. Many people prefer to eat junk. I also genuinely believe that time tradeoff doesn’t matter.

> Before a couple of years ago, it might have taken me an hour to type out and debug that code.

Are you not running and testing your code?

vips7L··on Why write code in 2026
I still exclusively write my code. The quality is higher. I know exactly how it works. It’s more extensible. You don’t have to generate it.
vips7L··on Show HN: Ant – A JavaScript runtime and ecosystem
It’s not hand-built. It’s hand prompted.
vips7L··on Postgres rewritten in Rust, now passing 100% of the Postgres regression tests
As is every slop generated project. It’s the Toy Story meme irl.

vips7L··on Postgres rewritten in Rust, now passing 100% of the Postgres regression tests
I suspect the future of open source will be to never publish your tests. Or someone will just pump them into an LLM like this.
vips7L··on Apache Shiro security framework releases 3.0.0
Their comment is also wildly wrong and outdated by two decades.
vips7L··on Kernel anti-cheat is an overreach
Hackers were only one of the many straws that killed Arc Raiders. Mostly it was a dev team that didn’t care.
vips7L··on What ORMs have taught me: just learn SQL (2014)
That’s a problem with ecto and not ORMs. A good ORM will be able to do that hashmap mapping.
vips7L··on JEP 539: Strict Field Initialization in the JVM moved to preview
All the time. Oracle and the OpenJdk team do VM changes way more than language changes.
vips7L··on JEP 539: Strict Field Initialization in the JVM moved to preview
I swapped to Avaje Jsonb a while ago. Can’t recommend it and the rest of the Avaje libraries enough, especially Ebean instead of Hibernate.
vips7L··on JEP 539: Strict Field Initialization in the JVM moved to preview
> sun.misc.Unsafe

Yeah idk man sounds like it sucks to suck in this case. Don’t use unsafe.

From your example: record Local(LocalDate ld) {}

Will work perfectly fine with every deserializer I’ve ever seen.

vips7L··on JEP 539: Strict Field Initialization in the JVM moved to preview
Extremely easy to fix. Turn it into a record. I’m also pretty sure that cracking final fields is already disabled by default.
vips7L··on Godot will no longer accept AI-authored code contributions
> I can't think of a functional reason for a no-AI policy

Imagine morals.

vips7L··on My Steam Machine is a 50ft HDMI cable
Idk man. The thing they built looked gigantic and wouldn’t fit in a tv console at all.
vips7L··on My Steam Machine is a 50ft HDMI cable
Yeah man I think your logic is massively flawed. You’re making assumptions based on your own preferences. Not every gamer is going to prefer the latest gpu and yes there are plenty of gamers whose libraries are filled with games that are meant for controllers and consoles, in fact I’d argue that this is more common than your choices.
vips7L··on My Steam Machine is a 50ft HDMI cable
Wasn’t it also like 4x the size?
vips7L··on My Steam Machine is a 50ft HDMI cable
I think you’re massively under valuing people who have giant Steam libraries and want to be able to use them in a console like experience.

Lots of people don’t want to buy a ps5 and split ecosystems. Lots of people don’t want to tinker with sunshine.

vips7L··on My Steam Machine is a 50ft HDMI cable
I don’t think having to write bash is a console like experience.
vips7L··on Anthropic says Alibaba illicitly extracted Claude AI model capabilities
Booohooo the people who stole everything they have want to cry about having what they produced stolen???
vips7L··on Minecraft: Java Edition 26.2, the first version with Vulkan 1.2
Probably just iOS since Apple bans JIT compilers other than their own.
vips7L··on Excessive nil pointer checks in Go
Kotlins nice, mutability in the collections and nullable types are nice but they still lack some form of checked error handling. I really wish they would have taken checked errors exceptions further and made them usable.
vips7L··on Bun has an open PR adding shared-memory threads to JavaScriptCore
Last study I read said it was 6x.
vips7L··on Bun has an open PR adding shared-memory threads to JavaScriptCore
Time bombs and just 2-3x the amount of code for the same thing. I recently rewrote a Claude generated feature from 3000 lines to 800. I guess AI fans are just predicting that no one will have to read the code in the future or something like that.
vips7L··on Bun has an open PR adding shared-memory threads to JavaScriptCore
Claude is riddled with bugs. That doesn’t inspire confidence.
vips7L··on Project Valhalla, Explained: How a Decade of Work Arrives in JDK 28
Most people use percentages now for containers.

  -XX:MaxRamPercentage=70

But they are working on removing that: https://openjdk.org/jeps/8377305
vips7L··on Hyundai buys Boston Dynamics
This is major cope. They torrented copyrighted works. It’s theft. It is in no way equivalent to photocopying pages.
