Hello, it’s time (for breakfast)
and as usual if you take a look at the repo, I am not claiming any of it is of particularly high quality. it's just something I mess around with in my spare time for fun.
anyway, #rue-lang is still gonna be "higher level than rust, lower level than Go", but I have a lot of things that I'm still not sure how they're gonna work out
I don't think it's "better than Rust" or something but engaging deeply with some of this design stuff has made me realize why Zig does some of the things that it does, and why some of Rust's choices contribute to the way it is. that's been very gratifying.
the thing i'd mostly talk about in the post is actually how, as I investigate designing this language for myself, I've come to appreciate #ziglang more than I used to. I've always respected andrew a lot, but it wasn't ever for me. But I'm appreciating it more and more.
some of that is due to: 1. me learning things and getting better. i think i'm sequencing features better this time around 2. my design vision being a bit stronger. i have less layers of IRs. 3. models getting better. this is using all latest claude stuff 4. me getting better at agentic dev.
One quick way to lose my respect is to say "we don't know whether AI is gaining consciousness"
WITH A STRAIGHT FACE.
Oh. My. God. Yes we do. Large language models are not intelligent. They are not conscious.
If this is difficult for you (or someone you know) to understand, please read the book AI Snake Oil by Arvind Narayanan and Sayash Kapoor.

우리 강의실에서 페미니즘 얘기하자 - 여성학 강의실을 들여다보다 ⇢ www.snujn.com/news/73453 도현 씨는 “이전에는 군가산점제 폐지에 부정적이었는데, 강의를 듣고 이것을 성별 문제가 아닌 군필자와 미필자 간 문제로 다시 보게 됐다”고 말했다. 남성이 손해를 보고 여성은 이득을 보는 단순한 구도를 넘어, 남성 사이에서도 병역 이행 여부에 따라 군가산점제에 대한 의견이 갈릴 수 있다는 점을 생각하게 된 것이다.
起きるか……始めるぞ今日を。

Short performances on two enigmatic generative-algorithm-via-voltage devices. These kinds of devices are intended to be kind of art objects unto themselves, they have "opinions" and their oblique interfaces are supposed to guide you in surprising directions. In practice they're incredibly hard to get any coherent sound out of at all so I was happy to find a video of FIVE satisfying, distinctive grooves

What an odd (and bad, in my rather uninformed opinion) decision by the Delaware Supreme Court.
Please, people. Stop buying #Tesla. This company is not only broken, it’s literally financing Elon’s evil deeds. The man has starved 600,000 people through DOGE’s destruction of USAID. He’s a white supremacist. He’s a Hitler sympathizer. He’s polluting the sky with junk satellites. He’s poisoning poor people with his data center emissions. What more does he have to do for you to stop sending him your money?

anyway just to be clear I'm not overly negative on rust or anything, that's not why i'm really worried about replies, just that it's a good opportunity for a general "year in review" kind of thing and well, that may get more spicy

I feel like I flubbed an interview because, while I was describing my work with xpaths, the interviewer caught me off guard by asking how I would implement a simple xpath engine. I was caught off guard and answered "I think that's a mistake. I've seen a lot of half-assed xpath implementations. I would rely on the engine optimized by very smart people, as if it were a compiler." Really the interviewer was asking "Do you know about trees and graphs?"
Honestly, if there's anything you want in a senior engineer, it's probably the ability to say "You're about to try something that seems smart but I can tell you from experience that it isn't.'

Happy Caturday!
Our heating isn't working properly at the moment, so I needed to cover my feet.
Willow volunteered unasked to keep my feet really toasty.

Dear to whom it may concern,
My name is Dr. Bernadette “bird” Bowen and I was fired for telling the truth about Charlie Kirk in September. If someone could hire me before I potentially become homeless in a month or two, that would be great LOL

I've tried a few times in the past to build Python bindings for a C library and always gave up pretty quickly. This time I was looking to make Python bindings for https://github.com/fastserial/lite3.
Antigravity + Gemini has gotten everything working over the past hour or so. It's been 20 years since I've done any C, so not sure I'd call any of this production-level code, but it's been fun to play around with it at least.
If you're on a Mastodon server that needs to have the highest level of user safety, you might want to talk to your admin about whether they should activate "limited federation mode".
This mode prioritises safety over connectivity, and means a server manually chooses which servers it allows federation with, while blocking all the rest by default. More info at:
➡️ https://fedi.tips/creating-an-isolated-server
(The main disadvantage of this option is it's a lot harder to find accounts to follow.)

First I did use Opus 4.5 and got nice library and perf results for my CSS parser (compared to ExCSS) but then I run review and optimisations via Codex 5.2 and code is now just so much better perf and quality wise, this is purely vibe coded.
Now that Italian food is protected by UNESCO, can I denunce this establishment for putting cream in carbonara? 🇮🇹
