It's pretty straightforward? You can interpolate a variable in scope and apply modifiers to it. You can't interpolate arbitrary expressions (which field access would be). Alternatively, you …

> DoD-like jobs where Claude Code (or other code security concerns) mean they need actual honest programmers without assistance. Then they'll just get a contract to spin up a DoD-secure varian…

> I go in and debug for a while because the app has become fubar, then finally realize it did the whole thing incorrectly and throw it all away. This seems consistent with some of the more precocio…

Anthropic's breakdown is quite good: https://www.anthropic.com/engineering/building-effective-age... …

Much more capable and reliable type system, paired with comparatively sane package management. This is getting better in the Python world (thank you Astral), but it's still not anywhere near the …

Is that a lot for an application that does what it does?

I feel like "solved" is a strong word for what's described here. This works for some - possibly even many - scenarios, but it does not solve memory lifetime in the general case, especia…

Why would they do that when they're doing fine in Spain?

"Great" for the majority of these is a stretch. There's no shortage of complaints about how Spotify treats both artists and customers, and Roblox enjoys yearly controversies from how it…

The lack of accessibility on the web is less an immediate mode problem and more of a problem with eschewing the web's native UI stack and rendering everything yourself. There are ways to signal t…

With eframe, it does not re-render when idle, no. You need to have another thread that forces it to redraw on your own schedule. It will also redraw when an event occurs (mouse movement, keyboard pres…

Here's Armin Ronacher describing his open-source "sloppy XML" parser that he had AI write with his guidance from this week: https://lucumr.pocoo.org/2025/6/21&…

Go's simplifications often introduce complexities elsewhere, however, as this article demonstrates with the complexities of correctness of a stringly-typed DSL. There's no free lunch here, a…

Anthropic's models do not come out looking good in this research. If this is an ad for Anthropic's models, it's not a particularly great one.

Wow. The selection of companies is dire . I can't say I'd want to work for any of the companies I saw within the first ten rounds.

> The bzip2 crate before 0.4.4 They're releasing 0.6.0 today :>

The Wikipedia data dumps [0] are multistream bz2. This makes them relatively easy to partially ingest, and I'm happy to be able to remove the C dependency from the Rust code I have that deals wit…

> Those tasks can take hours, or at least long enough where multiple tasks are running in the background? Maybe not hours, but extended periods of time, yes. Agents are very quick, so they can freq…

I would guess that they're running multiple instances of Claude Code [0] in the background. You can give it arbitrary tasks up to a complexity ceiling that you have to figure out for yourself. It…

Google has never identified the logical error in a block of code for me. I could find what an error code was, yes, but it's of very little help when you don't have a keyword to search.

I'm for equal opportunity screwing: if they lose their jobs, it's only fair my job is at risk too - and given improvements in programming agents, it will be. The only way we're getting …

I'm as much of a Rust advocate as anyone, but what does vibe-coding have to do with any of this?

> Without the appropriate error handling, the null pointer caused the binary to crash. We must be at the trillion dollar mistake by now, right?
