I can’t agree more! It feels really smooth to drive, kind of buttery compared to other frontier experiences, at least in antigravity 2.0 or whatever. I’ve been doing some web app coding with it and I’m happy with the results.
This made me think of Perl.
I had to enable the following chrome flag for this to load.
chrome://flags/#enable-unsafe-webgpu
I think it's more than just poorly trained agents. Also framing it as "a gun goes off" doesn't track with the video footage I saw.
Especially having ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini available nowadays. It’s a godsend when troubleshooting any Linux issues, and you can learn so much in the process.
I just upgraded my PC’s motherboard, CPU, memory, and video card and used Claude as a build buddy to help me lay out steps to follow. I also used it after installing CachyOS for the second time, but on this new hardware. It had me double checking to make sure I had all the proper drivers set up by running commands, but everything was already setup correctly by CachyOS. It even helped me figure out that I had a fan wire half plugged in, which was causing a fan not to throttle. I would alternate between Claude Sonnet 4.5 and ChatGPT 5.2. But it’s so much easier and quicker than the old days of sifting through the manuals and forums, if you could get online to a forum that is.
I installed CachyOS (KDE) about 2 years ago and I’m obsessed with it, it’s so satisfying to tinker with. I also game on it every day. Recently invested in a AMD GPU just because it has a better driver story in Linux. I can’t imagine going back to Windows.
Edit: Shout out to SteamOS for getting Linux to where it is for gaming, incredible.
This and DATETIME. The workarounds for these are mostly fine if you’re just using SQLite as a key value store, but doing translations in SQL queries for these workarounds sounds atrocious.
You should take a look at Koto Programming Language, I’ve been trying to keep an eye on it.

f-strings won’t sanitize the value, so it’s not safe. The article talks about this.
I was thinking it would just use a local copy through LM Studio or Ollama. Wouldn’t that work?
What am I missing, what is the significance of this post? I did learn that it was code named "Project Banana".
I 100% agree. It’s always disheartening to see how different the spread is between the popular vote and electoral vote.
It’s such a sham and we should move to ranked choice voting, but sadly I don’t think it’ll ever happen with the current political layout.
I love Gleam's syntax and types but one thing keeping me for jumping in is that it has some limitations regarding it's OTP integration. Which, to me, is one of the most exciting parts of Elixir or Erlang.
The limitations are explained at the bottom of this page.

For a second I thought it said Nonogram and was excited to work some puzzles.
Being a C# developer, I absolutely love the syntax. I also like the Universal Function Call Syntax for it's fluency, kind of like pipes in elixir or F#.
I'm still going through the guide but one thing I find curious is the module naming when building your application. It seems like you clone a library to disk and then "import" it as a command line argument with the name you choose. I'm trying to wrap my head around how dependencies would work if you have the following situation:
- parse library
- http library (requires parse) -> import parse=~/parse/src
- my_app (requires parse and http) -> import http=~/http/src parse_with_different_name=~/parse/src
Note how my_app uses a different name for the parse library than http.
If the http library uses "parse" in the source code when referencing the module (import parse) and my application uses "parse_with_different_name" when referencing the module (import parse_with_different_name), does that mean to compile my app I would have the following...
valec build mymodule=~/my_app.vale parse=~/parse/src http=~/http/src parse_with_different_name=~/parse/src
Maybe I'm missing something and maybe it's too early to worry about things like this. Regardless I am loving this language and very excited about it.
Edit: trying to fix my example list
I'm just as interested in his journey that brought him here as I am with this OS. So amazing!
Thanks for the links. I was looking everywhere for the information that ended up being in the "quirksmode" post. So far that post has had the most value in answering questions.
Flutter is cross platform. I looked for it but didn't see where jetpack has this capability. Please post me a link if I’m wrong, I would follow this project if it does support cross platform development.
I know right. But he addresses it in the comments at the bottom of the article.
I’m operating on a Macbook Pro 15 from mid 2010. I upgraded the hard drive to SSD, upgraded the memory to 8 gigs (max supported), and the mobo has been replaced twice (fried from overheating .. the thing gets really hot). This has prolonged my machine for a bit but it’s starting to getting long in the tooth. They also just dropped my model from being able to install the newest mac OS (for a 2010 that might make sense). Seems being able to upgrade modular pieces of your tech is a thing of the past. It has saved me some really time and money being able to remain on the same machine for 9 years. If it weren’t upgradeable that probably be a totally different story.
Biggest features that I would miss from my macbook:
--Touchpad with BetterTouchTool - I heavily use custom gestures and it’s insane how much this drives my daily work flow and speed
--Unix environment is super nice
--Reliable and quick resume from hibernate or suspend
--Never really lags at the OS level .. but individual apps might get a little bogged
I would use a windows notebook as my daily driver if the experience were close and it had a solid build (weight and slimness is not a huge deal to me). Laptop + linux would be fine as well but I don’t know about the user experience with the newer touchpads in linux.
Does anyone have any success stories with notebooks that mirror my experience and isn’t OSX?
I just tried this and got an error that says "Error! -search error" when searching for the term "angular directives". Not very compelling.
