We'll see whether the heatwaves and drought have been forgotten or not in May...

"Nobody knows" is not a neutral sign however, Anthropic should be able to provide that visibility

I think Andrew is a big part of it, and the people he surrounded himself with are the other part. What kind of pre-1.0 language hosts conventions? Crazy that they manage to do that. Andrew's vision has always been clear and inspiring to me. I think this got Zig its initial following, and they have capitalized extremely well on it to grow as a community.

How do you even warp these things? Had mine for 3y, sturdy as hell. So sturdy in fact that the only piece I've had to replace is the charger, what's the point in swappable parts now right? /s

Well it sure must seem real for Palestinians. And it's just called life on Earth.

It has a very lego-like feeling, with simple, orthogonal design that lets you build the language and constructs you need. Very elegant.

Kakoune has replaced many features with multicursor, including the sed-like commands (where you just select an area, search for patterns inside it to create the multiple cursors, then perform regular edits (which also means you can perform much more complex than simple replaces). It is really useful for refactors, e.g. even if you don't have any LSP (e.g. for plain text) you can easily rename symbols, reorder/select in log files, etc

Rust has editions for strong stability guarantees, and has had them for nearly a decade i believe. Besides, tech backing has grown way past the risky point.

This one is far from prod-ready however

Who deserves to receive help (and, by contrast, who is undeserving of even basic decency) should never, ever be the decision of a few ploutocrats. The state should decide on such matters, and be the upholder of equality. Else, misery becomes a contest for who can be the most compelling, most attractive miserable to the elites.

> Oxide employees bear responsibility for the artifacts we create, whatever automation we might employ to create them.

Yes, allow the use of LLMs, encourage your employees to use them to move faster by rewarding "performance" regardless of risks, but make sure to place responsibility of failure upon them so that when it happens, the company culture should not be blamed.

The proper reaction when you have a potential issue in your engineering

We have the ecologists we deserve... and boy do we not deserve anything nice... Afaik this is one of the least terrible of them we have...
