Seems like I get served gibberish bytes in the response body when visiting this site! I promise I’m not a bot :(

Maybe they could ask Gemini to fix their awful website to not crash on my phone!

I definitely enjoyed this writing style more than a lot of the recent cf blog posts. Cool article!

Makes me think of a game like FTL, where “easy” was challenging for quite some time, and now I play normal if I want a challenge!

Really cool, shame that strings can’t be fully indistinguishable like Integer despite their immutability

Very cool! I can’t imagine writing everything in C, I’m currently learning this in OCaml which seems nicer for a project like this.

Interesting story but the AI makes it irritating to read

First time I’ve seen my university mentioned online and it’s the wrong country!

This has got to be my favourite feature of IntelliJ, along with the dumb context actions menu

I sunk the ball, but the game didn’t end so I happily hit it back out of the hole!! Pretty fun though

I haven’t tried this app yet, but my attempts at speaking to ChatGPT in Spanish were pretty dull. Almost every sentence the model replied with “Claro!” and tended to repeat itself often

Reading this on airline wifi right now makes me realise just how unusable some stuff becomes with choppy internet. E.g. I can’t change settings on the LinkedIn app because the request to load the settings page fails :/.

I remember someone saying it looks like a pregnancy announcement, and that’s what I think of every time I see it

Opening this on the class laptop at school was always fun

> Now test your VPS’s IPv4 geolocation using Cloudflare’s /cdn-cgi/trace endpoint (available on any site behind CF)

Interesting, this really does seem to work on any site behind CF. Are there any other endpoints like this?

Reminds me of Foqos, which is definitely one of my favourite apps

I can’t believe lambdas got a 4/10! I’m a student so maybe my opinion will change when I work on “real” code but I really like their conciseness

Can’t you click the “ignore limit” button when trying to open a restricted app though?

I agree, I’ve definitely had a lot of “ahh, that’s why it does that/works that way in Java” when learning C

I’ve in university and the classes have been almost exclusively taught in Java. Learning C/C++ definitely felt like a step backwards, as there’s more you have to implement yourself instead of using the standard library. With that said, I think I learnt a lot more about how systems work under the hood by learning C, so perhaps it’s not as good for learning programming concepts IMO

Safari on ios really hates this, all 3 demos crash upon loading lol

Great stuff lol

I used these frequently during an old job, it was always concerning how the sponge slowly disappeared as you scrubbed with it

Happy new years from a fellow kiwi! I hope everyone’s spent it in good company :)

I found “Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!" - Autobiography about Richard Feynman very interesting
