The performance difference in that post is due to wasm, not the container runtime, which is also stated at the end of the post.

The useless people you are talking about _are_ the ownership class. They haven't worked a day in their life like you have, they are getting all the loans they want, and they are paying them off with welfare (tax cuts and loopholes).

There's no special URL there either, though. The parent specifically mentioned a protocol with semantics for "web links", hence my question.

Do you know where I can read more about QR code protocols? I was under the impression that a simple URL (with http/s) is common, and I've never had it not on any device.

That sounds like a good strategy! I've dabbled in writing task runner, and relaying logs with preserved colors and formatting without messing up the terminal and interleaving messages from different tasks is a huge hurdle.

I wish there was a standard for telling processes "keep the colored and formatted output, but assume it will be read line by line"... It's possible to just let processes write into pty's and then parse the output, but then you pretty much have to implement an entire nested terminal emulator :-(

How does it deal with escape sequences? Does it just record them verbatim?

Interesting - I've had the opposite experience. I usually prefer rust for personal projects, but when I recently tried to use SQLx with sqlite, lots of very basic patterns presented problems, and I wished I had sqlc back.

So, you barely read one sentence, then went to the comments, read an entire thread, and took the time to post about how the author probably thinks they are superior to you?

I strongly recommend rethinking that approach. You ascribed intentions to the author and then spent more time getting upset about them than you did interacting with the content.

There are actually interesting points in that text, yet here we are getting fussy about the author's supposed lack of decorum. That's really disappointing to me.

Nice work! I can also recommend sphaerophoria on YouTube for people who enjoy watching others rawdog things in zig.

The linked study controls for this.

Most of the time, if you read the headline for a study, and instantly have a thought that would make the entire study's results pointless, it's very very probable the study authors had that thought too and mitigated it. It's their job.

Seems like it's really an infinite loop. It keeps getting more frustrated and snarky.

The solution is arguably not super straightforward, but `2&>1` can be emulated by creating a pipe2 and then passing it to both stderr and stdout for the command.

LLMs are useful to me in a lot of ways, I just found it hilarious that it runs into the same pattern over and over and then just gives up, but _still recognized that it's failing_ - most of the time it just confidently outputs broken rust.

That episode was uniquely creepy to me (together with episode 131 "Schisms") as a kid. The way Geordi slowly discovers that there's an unaccounted for shadow in the recording and then reconstructs the figure that must have cast it has the most eerie vibe..
