Re:Sp.h is the standard library that C deserves on Saturday May 23, 2026 @12:09AM (#48244575)
Best library name.
I don't think formally verifying my showing that the model is correct is good enough anymore. You must prove that your implementation refines the model.
Re:Can LLMs model real-world systems in TLA+? on Sunday May 10, 2026 @09:59AM (#48084044)
I've been building a TLA style Temporal Logic library for Verus (using LLMs). My experience so far is that LLMs are surprisingly useful at generating the mechanical proof scaffolding (when they're not occasionally trying to cheat with `assume(false)` statements), but they are not a substitute for knowing what property you actually want.
I have written complex proofs for distributed system using verus which are certainly not expressed by clippy

Didn't SQS launch publicly earlier than S3?

RAID is not a backup! Do both.

Being grateful for a miserable life marginally improving does not negate otherwise unavoidable prolonged suffering.
Re:Rust's Sneaky Deadlock With `if let` Blocks on Wednesday November 13, 2024 @01:49AM (#42123522)
If the change is targeting a rust edition it's being treated as a feature/improvement not as a compiler bug. If there isn't a spec that explicitly says that this is expected behavior (and as far as I know there isn't a concrete spec for the rust language) it should be instead treated as a backwards compatible bug fix
Re:Rust's Sneaky Deadlock With `if let` Blocks on Tuesday November 12, 2024 @08:53PM (#42122118)
I would call this a compiler bug

Re:Civet: A Superset of TypeScript on Monday October 21, 2024 @08:07PM (#41909866)
I fell in love with pattern matching the first time I used Haskell. Having the feature is great, but I really don't like the syntax used here.
Re:Civet: A Superset of TypeScript on Monday October 21, 2024 @07:46PM (#41909735)
Am I the only one that really dislikes the syntax choices here?

I tried Ly maybe a couple years ago, but I ran some issues. I've had great luck with greetd+tuigreet. The UI is quite similar as well.
Re:PySkyWiFi: Free stupid wi-fi on long-haul flights on Thursday July 11, 2024 @12:13AM (#40933638)
I have used iodine, which though isn't the easiest to setup works on every airline I have tried, to bypass airline Internet firewalls. DNS packets are one of the few things they don't seem to even try to filter. I wouldn't be surprised if you could just run wireguard over UDP/22.
I'm not sure if GitHub is the right place for chromium mirrors. When you upload to GitHub, you are agreeing that the code is licensed to GitHub under certain conditions (in addition to the license specified in the repository).
Really? I don't think I've ever had a YouTube video take longer than 30 seconds to load on a good Internet connection
