David Bushell, its in his banner if you click it.
I genuinely cant tell if this is sarcastic. Im all for innovation where its productive, but some things already just work.

There's also Fable for F# but I believe this commenter is being sarcastic. Javascript is a common backend language.

Broken seems a little hyperbolic, it has an implicit dependency on a standard POSIX tool.

I'm not sure its money but influence, which money greatly facilitates.

That's how you get Talmud.
Won't somebody think of the disgruntled misanthropes?
Endearingly close to "take off, hoser".
This was not a word I was prepared to learn about today.
At least we can take solace in the fact this is totally unprecedented, a complete first for this country.

....oh wait.

The double "its not X, its Y", back to back.
Re:Look, Another AI Browser on Wednesday October 22, 2025 @02:20PM (#45673113)
Is this true? Most of mine is in a text editor. In a previous role, it was in Excel. My partner spends her day in Power BI, etc etc. Are we outliers? What jobs are mostly in browsers instead of task-oriented specific other software tools?

Just to add another anecdotal data point, ive absolutely observed Claude Code doing exactly this as well with git operations.
Re:Zig got a new ELF linker and it's fast on Monday September 22, 2025 @10:39AM (#45334111)

This feels like more of a system prompt issue than a model issue?

Which, generally, is true.
Re:Regex Isn't Hard (2023) on Monday April 21, 2025 @08:21AM (#43751137)
The letters with diacritics sort lexicographically after 'z', so it does stand to reason they wouldn't appear in that range.
Which is exactly what this project is now able to do. Your parallel make jobs don't help if you have one gigantic compilation unit, as they originally did.
Far from all of it, seems like a big leap to write it off as pointless because of one subset.

Better than my svg pelican would be, but it's a low bar.

Your last off-by-one bug was in your first few weeks of programming?
Re:Meta announces 5% cuts in preparation for 'intense year' on Wednesday January 15, 2025 @09:56AM (#42711482)
