Alternatively, what's cursed is parsing UTF-16 as octets

@valigoJun 3
I just had a sudden realization that utf-16 strings have two null-terminating bytes, not just a single one. Somehow, I never explicitly thought of it, and this is so cursed.

Replying to @awwscript @tmikov
If an API has particular requirements, it should use HTTP features, or be described in the ToS. Saying "you must use this particular software" is a roundabout way of saying "We have opaque terms of service, changed at any time, without notice or consent."

Category-theory foundational Functional Programming is actually unrelated to state or pure functions; variables and mutation are perfectly compatible with it. Functional Programming means describing your data & I/O so well that it only represents one possible program.

I wish more large open source projects would have a single point of support and an easy way to pay for a support contract... I just want someone to listen to my problems and at least pretend they're important, instead of evaluating 20 support channels for which is the easiest.

Would papers get rejected if they used legal code with variable names instead of Greek laden pseudo code?

"Don't follow the machine-readable (i.e. HTML) instructions, follow the English prose" I don't like these gimmicks

Please Linus Torvalds make a new build script system

It would look similar to a shell script. All commands would be variables that could be redefined, and would implicitly create targets, that in turn depend on the files named in the invocation. (It would know which commands consume and create which files.)

Lines with an undefined variable would implicitly create functions.

You can literally parse JSON as a binary encoding. The finite state machine to parse JSON only has about 40-50 states.

@ChShersh3 Dec 2025
JSON over network was a mistake. We should’ve stuck to binary encoding and just improve the tooling to view binary data in a human-readable format.

As usual Apple started a bad trend so I'm announcing a new versioning system: vibe.breaking.patch - Increment vibe when marketing team says to - Increment breaking whenever you remove a guarantee - Increment patch whenever you add a feature or fix a bug - No resetting to 0

Real code highlighting instead of green would go a long way here.

I have yet to see a good reason for a tokenizer that's not solved with an improved parser. Unless your language isn't context-free for some inexplicable reason, and even then that's usually solvable with only minor adaptations.
Lucretiel 🦀@Lucretiel29 Nov 2025
Just a reminder that the lexer/parser bifurcation is a crutch that actively produces worse languages

High-resolution satellite imagery is incredibly expensive to acquire. But there is a way to turn free, medium-resolution data into high-quality images using AI. ESA just released a framework to make this accessible to everyone:
