Same with gpt, but I felt it was more like "hey, everyone uses that, so why not me" than finding the right tool for the job. Can't say for Claude.
YMMV, I think I only tried to sign up on 3 websites where it was not working. You can fallback to the original email address in those case.

The funniest part was that for one it work great for the signup part, but they used a third party tool for licences that broke because of my e-mail. For another, only the js code was verifying the e-mail, and I could push it by removing the validation. When the owner had to validate my account, they got a message that the e-mail was incorrect when they tried to submit the form. They called me and had a great discussion about web apps security. We had a good time.

I would point out that it kind of prevents you from checking if your email is in a leak database as you need to test each aliases you used.

YMMV, I have 2 headsets I've never been able to make working reliably under windows 10 and 11. Cheap stuff, but they are are flawless under linux and with my phone on android. Not to say there are no issue on Linux, but these days it's way better than 15 years ago.

For wgpu, someone else mentionned in another comment that there are bindings for other languages, maybe your favorite too!
Also, give me back my right ctrl key !

Oled pc screens have a terrible reputation for text. Some more than others, but it seems it's better to stick to lcd if you happen to read or write a lot.

Celeste definitely is one, already cited but Outer Wild is another.
Re:Programmer in Wonderland on Friday October 10, 2025 @03:03AM (#45536082)
Interesting, my path is a bit like the opposite. I tend to avoid categories of tools that abstract too much the problem in a "magic" way for the same reason: you can't easily understand what's going on behind the scene, and you have to dive in each time you enter a corner case. If you can't control what it is doing on each step, then you can't be sure it will be doing what you expect and this can become a mental effort that outweight the tool benefits.
Easier to store more information while preventing any non authorized to access them, like signing keys and biometrics ?
When I type F5, my terminal writes "~" but nothing happens, what did I miss?
The point is that the shaving might not be due to the firefox variable changes, but rather to other environmental differences.

Stackless python, we were not ready for it.

I would not call apps built statically "the correct way". It offers benefits but also drawbacks. One of them being that you can't update statically linked libraries in it with security fixes without replacing the binary completely, which can be an issue if the context does not allow it (unsupported proprietary software, lost dependency code, ...). It can also lead to resource consumption faster, which can be an issue in resource constrained systems.

And probably the reason why I have to restart it at least twice a week.

I tend to think that they mostly should be using their own user agent, and if not be desguised as the most common ones to avoid being detected too easily. Web scaping probably has been mostly running under Linux before the age of AI anyway. I'm not in the field, so if anyone more trustworthy info on that...
If they sell tires in Ford shops, yes. Same for uber going through the App Store.
This is the point, you need an IDE with advanced features while a text editor should be all you need to understand what the code is doing..
Re:Ty: A fast Python type checker and language server on Thursday May 08, 2025 @07:13AM (#43925057)
Any other link to share about that? The stackshare url does not even mention anything related.
Makes me think of this old trick that raise the room temperature when you press space long enough.
Don't say they were generous, that was a completely strategical move. By having more browser adopt their engine they can have a better control on ads and ensure they keep a way to profile users. Goal obviously shared with microsoft which knows the engine is in the best hands for their needs too.

As a end user, I find it quite restrictive. There might be some software I won't be able to fork/modify because they were MIT. I'm not the owner of the software anymore.
Just a matter of time. Look at where their interest are. Apple will probably be second on this, but if it happens it will be for both and the argument of security will be cried out loud at whoever complains.

But.. can you play rust on it?

Not less permissive, just targeting the end user instead of the developer rights.

VSCode is not if installed with binaries.

Gold ! They can use emacs then.
Please come in Belgium, there are places where you can see code in Dutch, French and Englis within the same file. I suppose you even should be able to find code with some additional German in it..

Would you steal a book?
I've not used copilot outside of emacs, but copilot-mode does everything I would want for code generation.
iPhones and Teslas would be overkill anyway: https://www.cryptomuseum.com/covert/bugs/thing/
