Codex has always beaten claude in coding benchmarks, hasn't it?

> However, in this task, the model was intentionally given no way to directly view the drawing. Opus 5 responded by writing its own computer vision pipeline to pull the geometry from the raw pixels

Surely being able to view the raw pixels counts as viewing the drawing... How else does a computer view a drawing?

You can also use jsx on the backend. React has renderToStaticMarkup, but you probably want to use one of the jsx libraries written specifically for the backend.

Z-index warfare is so stupid (the practice, not the name). It's not only with media publications, but ecommerce sites as well.

There have been countless businesses that have lost out on my money because I clicked on their ad (good job!), start reading the product info on their website as it loads (that's basically a sale), and then the page finished loading with a barrage of popups for cookie consent, newsletter signup for a discount code, special offers, special sale, spin the wheel for a prize, etc. That's when I close the tab and forget about it.

Re:Zed editor switching graphics lib from blade to wgpu on Friday February 13, 2026 @11:45AM (#47004736)
He coined the term in the context of UI, by borrowing the existing term that was already used in graphics. Drawing that parallel was the point.
Re:The Gleam Programming Language on Wednesday January 14, 2026 @06:28AM (#46614831)
While I don't agree with the OP about type systems, I understand what they mean about erlang. When an erlang node joins a cluster, it can't make any assumptions about the other nodes, because there is no guarantee that the other nodes are running the same code. That's perfectly fine in erlang, and the language is written in a way that makes that situation possible to deal with (using pattern matching).
This is more like HTMX+websockets than phoenix liveview.

  - It's not stateful
  - There's no html diffing
  - Handlers return target+fragment instead of updating state
Jai, odin and zig's creators are all part of the handmade network, a community of programmers. You are vastly underestimating blow's reach/influence.

Odin's creator has credited Jai as an influence. You can see him in the comments of old jai youtube videos (videos that go into a lot of depth about the language design). Odin's syntax and features are very similar to Jai, the influence is pretty clear. Odin has other influences of course but you could say it's "jai but open source".

Lastly, jai is not open source but it doesn't mean it's not available. You can message blow to get access to it. Many programmers have used it. There are third party jai libraries on github.

Also when clicking from a search result to a video, it replaces the url instead of pushing to navigation history. So when I click into a video and try to go back, it takes me to the homepage instead of the search results! It only happens on mobile!
It's not meant for public use, but it's also not protected. Best documentation is the fastf1 project.

"WPEngine's" being key here. Some of the banned people are wordpress contributors, unrelated to WPE. The other banned people are not contributors at all and seemingly the only reason they were banned is that matt is angry at their tweets.

None of the banned people mentioned a fork, some don't even have anything to do with wordpress other than commenting about the drama on twitter. The whole post is matt gaslighting to justify the purge.

Re:<dialog>: The Dialog Element on Saturday December 07, 2024 @06:02AM (#42348929)
There's no event for the dialog about to close, only an event for after the dialog closes. You can prevent default on the enter key and space key, but that obviously breaks the form ux.

There is an event for the dialog about to close from pressing the escape key. No idea why it's only for closing via escape key.

Re:<dialog>: The Dialog Element on Friday December 06, 2024 @03:25PM (#42343998)
Tried this today and came across an issue that I could not get around: if the dialog contains a form, then submitting the form with enter (focused on any input) or space (focused on the submit button) will close the dialog. I couldn't find any nice way of preventing it.

Normally a form will reload the page anyways so I guess this isn't a normal problem but I was using htmx.
