I've been a moderate on using LLMs for programming, but I think this is the straw that's going to send me entirely back to brain coding. It's just too annoying to have a dependency on the network and on a semi-unreliable service provider. I've also been worried about the potential for skill atrophy. Maybe I'll revisit the decision someday when I can run a useful model on modest hardware.

That was wonderful, thank you!

Any video recommendations? I've now watched the Leaf Corcoran (itch.io) one, (https://xoxofest.com/2016/videos/leaf-corcoran/), the Maciej Ceglowski (pinboard.in) one (https://xoxofest.com/2013/videos/maciej-ceglowski/), and the James Swirsky & Lisanne Pajot (Indie Game: The Movie) one (https://xoxofest.com/2012/videos/james-swirsky-lisanne-pajot...). These are making me nostalgic for the early 2010s.

There's Borgo: https://github.com/borgo-lang/borgo

I've never used it so can't speak from any experience, and unfortunately it doesn't seem particularly active (and doesn't mention a current status anywhere), and doesn't have a license, so shrug. When it's been posted here (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40211891), people seemed pretty excited about it.

Looks like it's explained here: https://github.com/charlotte-os/Catten/blob/main/License/cla...

Specifically, "Users may link this kernel with closed-source binary drivers, including static libraries, for personal, internal, or evaluation use without being required to disclose the source code of the proprietary driver.".

> I think, similar to Preact, Mithril skips the VDOM, which makes it "more immediate" than React.

Both Mithril and Preact use virtual DOMs:

Some of the comments here remind me of online commentary about some place called "the orange site". Always wondered who they were talking about...

Ha, I kind of agree with you, and I'm a little embarrassed it's as upvoted as it is. I just love the silly little video of him saying it and then cracking up. It pops into my head a lot and gives me a laugh. I just felt like sharing it to be goofy. Didn't imagine it would end up at the top of the thread!

> Technically the engines could be optimizing it when no eval used is detected or when in strict mode (which blocks eval),

I just learned about direct vs indirect eval (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Refe...), which I imagine makes this a bit easier. The parent scope is only captured in a direct eval.

Looks nice! I think I'd only get it if I could use it as a monitor though. Displaying more than grayscale colors would be a plus too. Still glad to see it though.

> Occasionally I come across comments that make me think “wait, there’s still developers out there who don’t use AI? Like, not at all?” Not just programmers who think that AI is overhyped, no, but programmers who don’t use AI in any shape or form: no ChatGPT, no Copilot, no Cody, no local models, nothing.

Surely this is feigning surprise. The oldest thing in that list is like 18 months old or something, and he's surprised to find literally any programmers that don't use them? I bet I could find a programmer out there who's never used Google, let alone brand new subscription AI services.

Is the average user mostly using Bluetooth now? Genuinely curious if there's any empirical data.

And regardless of the numbers, I also wonder at what rate people are actively switching to Bluetooth because they want to vs. because that's what their preferred phone line is forcing them into.

OP, the link is doubled up in the URL field. Maybe edit it if you can, otherwise re-submit?

Presumably ATTACH: https://www.sqlite.org/lang_attach.html

SQLite has ATTACH (https://sqlite.org/lang_attach.html) for cross database operations. I've never tried it for foreign key constraints across databases, but I think it would work?

I'm sorry, but suggesting that I move to a no-name chromium fork maintained by one person because I miss a Firefox extension is absurd. Perhaps I should also leave my country because my local grocery store doesn't carry the cereal I like.

> why do you just take it?

Must be my insatiable masochism.

Looks like that's only on Nightly? I'm glad there's a workaround, but I'm not missing Redirector quite that much.

I sympathize with that problem, but I think Redirector may not be the right tool for that job. Redirector is pretty small and flexible - I imagine pinging servers and rotating hosts in a redirect is out of scope. Have you tried a more full-featured privacy service redirector? Google brought up https://github.com/SimonBrazell/privacy-redirect.
