I think the intentional part is that you want to print the date and time something's been compiled, and the accidental part is that you suddenly made your build non-reproducible.

But usually the realization follows the initial intent by several weeks, if not months! Your comment shines as the embodiment of hindsight is 20/20.

I don't think it ever has. For a very long time now, the reasoning of Claude has been summarized by Haiku. You can tell because a lot of the times it fails, saying, "I don't see any thought needing to be summarised."

Funny, I have the exact opposite experience! I use Claude to fix Gemini’s mess.

Yes, and the video is available in full right now. That’s my current business model. (I’m the author but I didn’t post the article here — I would expect older articles to show up)

(author here) in which ways does Gleam come short of that? Because I'm also looking for that middle ground and I was very curious to get a look at Gleam.

I mean it's right there in the tags.

Yes, PDF is what I really want, but apparently it didn't get the "<img> tag treatment" so, we have to leave with "SVG with text as paths, and perfect layout" or "SVG with embedded fonts (a subset if you're brave), and selectable text".

I love that take on it, thanks for reconciling me with this saying.

It hasn't been finalized yet, I link to a bloomberg piece in the article from 10 days ago that says it _looks_ like they're going to go back on it but nothing confirmed afaict.

Right, I forgot to mention that — I bought Affinity Designer 2, and I'm really with it, but diagramming in it is an absolute chore. Two completely separate usecases for me.

Ok I know I shouldn't let that get to me, but, re: "Was expecting a lousy post due to some typos in the text"

A) that's... rude/gatekeepy? B) what typos? I simply cannot find what you're talking about

Stylistic choices are not typos, I wonder if there hasn't been some mixup there? Folks usually use the feedback system to report typos, which then get fixed. You're probably not gonna see this so shrug, but, for the record: not cool.

Infamous for discussions of Go.. (vs Rust..) but mostly it's me getting excited about learning & teaching computery stuff like:

ICMP in Making our own ping: https://fasterthanli.me/series/making-our-own-ping ELF in Making our own executable packer: https://fasterthanli.me/series/making-our-own-executable-pac... HTTP 1&2: https://fasterthanli.me/articles/the-http-crash-course-nobod...

Anyway yeah! Some folks hate it some folks love it, we need stuff for everyone.
