There's clearly demand for notepad++ on Mac. Refusing to meet users where they are at with a simple port feels like squatting on a trademark. I find myself sympathetic to the Mac porter more than Don Ho.

Full tweet (since it wouldn't fit in the title): Sam Altman: Superintelligence probably by end of 2028. So we got roughly 2 years left. Enjoy your job while you still can. Time is ticking.

I keep getting "Edge Function returned a non-2xx status code." Run out of tokens?

Title was truncated due to being too long. Original title: WATCH: 'You can't have guns. You can't walk in with guns,' Trump says of Alex Pretti killing

I guess 'walk in' refers to being outside

Never fear, the 2nd amendments days are numbered too. Trump just said 'You can't have guns. You can't walk in with guns' (the 'in' in this context being 'outside')

Low-res cel shading would be a better descriptor. It lends itself to looking like pixel art when zoomed out, but cel shading when zoomed in.

4b-model take. LLMs are far more intelligent than you give them credit for. Every new layer of abstraction allows us to develop software better and faster. People constantly ragged on OOP yet it is the foundation of modern computing. People while about "bloat" but continue to buy more RAM. Compilers are a black box and meaningfully inhibit your ability to write asm but these days nobody cares. I see LLMs as the next logical evolution in computing abstractions.

>a WSL2-esque wrapper around Virtualization.framework allowing for easy installation of Linux containers.

So Linux is now a first class citizen on both Windows and Mac? I guess it really is true that 'if you can't beat em, join em.' Jobs must be rolling in his grave.

Why does QEMU need to start X? Shouldn't that be OpenBSD's responsibility?

I've also seen it stand for Make Israel Great Again, given the unwavering support for Netanyahu and his agenda from the administration

C has a lot of ambiguity in how it is parsed ("undefined behavior") but people usually view that as a benefit because it allows compilers more freedom to dictate an implementation.

I don't really know how to feel about this. I've seen enough misconfigured Workday instances that result in most decent candidates never getting their resumes looked at because they didn't keyword-optimize enough, so it feels quite justifiable.

But for those businesses that actually review resumes, it's gotta be brutal.

>users may want to scale differently anyways

Users think they want a lot of things they don't really need. Do we really want to hand users that loaded gun so that they can choose incorrectly where to fire?

Seemingly this is for any reason, though whether this will be applied consistently remains to be seen.

I have to wonder if this is in response to the lawsuit from WP Engine over being banned, in a "fine, I'll unban everyone and we'll see how much you like it then" way.

Original title was too long, but for posterity, it was: "Communities that experience mass shootings drink more alcohol in the aftermath, a new study finds"

The whole train DRM saga has been endlessly entertaining as someone looking in from afar, but I can only imagine the stress this must place on operators trying to keep trains maintained with this dagger dangling over their heads. I wish I could hack a train, thats a once in a lifetime opportunity and would make for an incredible "2 truth and a lie" type story

That's just pre-provisioning by another name, auto-scaling implies on-the-fly provisioning

E: I can't even load the fly.dev website, it keeps timing out. I guess they forgot to pre-provision/under-provisioned it

When I read about these things, I cant help but wonder if anybody took a step back and thought "maybe we just have too much code"?

At some point, perhaps you're just doing too much
