Agreed 100%! I got some Steam games that didn't run well (or at all) to run smoothly thanks to AI, after having spent hours trying to figure it out on my own (months prior), fix some issues with HiDPI and external monitor with my laptop, and now I have a tiny shell script that basically runs `checkupdates` (`checkupdates | claude -p`, roughly) and looks online for potential issues. I've been using Linux for many years but still Claude and ChatGPT helped me a ton.

I think Rust (the compiler / borrow checker) kinda finds bugs for you, some of which C/C++ does not.

In that sense, rewriting some code in Rust _may_ be cheaper than fixing the existing code. It may also be more welcoming to newer devs, since Rust can be easier to reason about, which is a long-term investment.

The borrow checker also helps with AI (as long as you don't let the AI use `unsafe`, or completely control what primitives in your codebase are allowed to use unsafe and never vibe-code any of it) — at least, the agent can't stop until `cargo build` passes.

I've also had better experience locally building applications in Rust than in C/C++. `cd ripgrep; cargo install --path .` or `cargo install ripgrep` usually just work, while `make` is usually painful.

Metropolis 1998 looks beautiful! (and addictive!)

Will you do a native Linux release, or has it been tested with Proton?

Also, just from watching the video and screenshots in the Steam page, it seems like a crazy amount of work. Are you doing everything by yourself?

SO was such a great tool when it was created and for a long time, but now we have so many options. Collaboration improved in every front, both due to tech improvements and to becoming the default human behavior in all of IT, rather than minorities. And the whole industry has better standards now.

Yikes, that doesn't sound like fun. Dates seem inoffensive at first sight but turn out to be really hard to do.

Have you tried Luxon?

If your frontend isn't completely critical, you might be ok with the temporal-api polyfill, too. It's a joy to use.

100%. I've tested deno with the feature flag — all it needs is the upstream v8 to unflag it

deno repl --v8-flags=--harmony-temporal

I couldn't test it in bun, but it should be the same thing, except that it depends on JavaScriptCore instead of v8. But basically nodejs, deno and bun don't really need to do anything — just wait for v8 and JSCore.

Browsers are waiting for the proposal to signal that it's ready to be unflagged. Right now it states it must be behind a flag.

Hey everyone! Earlier this week I published this article on the Temporal API (it really is awesome).

It's only the second time I dare share a link to an article I wrote. I find it intimidating, honestly.

I put a ton of effort into writing the article (and creating the no-dependencies runnable-script widget). Would love your feedback / constructive criticism :)

> That said I'm not a vegetarian - my diet is based on industrila logistics - I eat the protein that the supermarket logistics chain provide to our neighbourhood.

Directly associating “protein” with animal products and implicitly assuming protein is something we should be at all worried about when there hasn’t been a report of “protein deficiency” ever are a big part of the problem.

I can’t assume this is your case but I’ve still to meet a person who brings this up and has no access to, for example, beans or lentils. A quick google search will offer many more alternatives, although it’ll also consistently bring up the fact protein is something that should hardly ever be on your mind.

You do have to actively and periodically watch your vitamins though, which we all tend to have less than what we need, and lower-than-healthy vitamins for long periods can do irreparable damage in the long term.

You do have to watch your B12 when switching to a vegetarian diet, not because animals naturally produce it but because they are generally supplemented with it; but low B12 is also pretty common in meat eaters. By the time you feel the symptoms it’s already dangerously low.

I’m not looking to attack you — I just don’t want random people reading unfounded reasons not to go vegetarian and unconsciously believing them.

> Only thing you need is to convince the elites to change to vegetarianism.

Maybe, but what others decide to do or not does not prevent individuals from doing their part. Just by changing your habits and living your life you’ll influence people. You’ll get to patiently answer honest questions, show off amazing recipes that will wipe away preconceived culinary notions, etc. Your friends, after years of seeing you well, will stop thinking “omg they must lack protein” or “they must be rich to be able to afford veggies”

Bottom-up works too, and I’d even think it’s usually the way to go with all society-scale changes. Waiting for someone else to do something generally leads nowhere good. Also, a ton of famous people are already openly vegan or vegetarian.

I've written code in Windows, Mac and Linux (Ubuntu & PopOS) for years, and man, Windows and Mac are so far behind GNOME in every aspect.

Today I think I even prefer Windows + WSL rather than Mac.

Thanks. This is probably the most helpful comment.

"Scientific" articles have such click-bait titles. I understand this is an evil necessity in capitalism, but these titles bias everyone...
