What? I feel go has one of the best language tooling out there without requiring a bully ide to do stuff. golangci-lint is quite comprehensive. What do you miss otherwise?

(Honestly go's distributing itself has covered a lot of it)

Recently been using emacs' inbuilt debugger. Honestly it is nuts, how good it is.

I use it purely as a search engine. It is pretty good at dehtml/dejs/decss or a distraction free access to articles / docs. I had dabbled with claude for purely writing testcases which I'm very lazy at.

But man, people really oversell LLM's coding capabilities. It is good at pattern matching and replicating elsewhere. That's about it.

I had asked a simple question to opus 4.5.

> Python redis asyncio sample code.

The 3 attempts at generation all failed at the import statement. I verified if such an import structure ever existed in older versions. Never. But it looked convincing enough though!?

Is it because there is not much asyncio code (2014) is available for claude to train on?

New comment by aki237 in "D Programming Language"

aki237 — Thu, 12 Feb 2026 06:49:52 +0000

Genuinely curious as I'm relatively new compared to the time of inception of this language. Can you cite the reasons why people didn't choose D?

This is impressive.

I just tried some sample verses, sounds natural.

But there seems to be a bug maybe? Just for fun, I had asked it to play the Real Slim Shady lyrics. It always seems to add 1 extra "please stand-up" in the chorus. Anyone see that?

New comment by aki237 in "I just want working RCS messaging"

aki237 — Wed, 19 Nov 2025 15:08:12 +0000

+1. I was a strong proponent of RCS earlier. Don't care about Green/Blue bubble nonsense. But Google (an Ad company) started abusing RCS to send garbage ads my way. And there is no way to block that as well except for disabling RCS. I feel this is a loophole Google can abuse where local regulations ban vendors for sending promotional messages.

Whatever it is, Google of all org should not be at the Helm of this.

And the amount of moral policing they did to apple. Disgusting assholes. I hate Apple for a lot of reasons. iMessage is definitely not one of them.

I have no idea what issues folks are talking about. I use vanilla gnome for my work and personal use case (given with well supported GPUs, read: no Nvidia). All the features work. Zoom/screen share/obs etc.,

Multi touch gestures work on laptops as smoothly as they were on a mac. HDR has started working recently even in my browser. VRR has been working for almost a couple of years.

It doesn't break, most mem leaks that gnome was known for all gone. Almost all the cli X specific tools I use (mostly clipboard stuff) are all available. Initially when I switched I did see like a 10~15% increase in battery usage albeit being smooth.

aki237 — Sat, 15 Jun 2024 07:28:07 +0000

I don't fully agree with your statement. We had used Scala around the time the devs were playing around with dotty. I loved many features of the language (compile times were painful, but the language itself was fun). But we had to stay back because a specific db dependency did not resolve well with later versions of Scala (2.13 it broke).

Similar thing recently, there was an obscure Scala version mismatch error when trying to use it with spark. (Not that significant of a problem).

It is definitely a headache trying to cope with the conditions till we get better especially with smaller teams who can't afford to fork and maintain something. A

And here I was thinking emacs had excellent documentation, unlike VimL (neovim not counted)

New comment by aki237 in "Bluetooth remains an 'unusually painful' technology after two decades"

aki237 — Wed, 20 Jul 2022 09:08:15 +0000

But... Does the quality of a phone's DAC matter? I was under the impression that Bluetooth is digital audio. And the quality issue is with the bandwidth mostly or the headset DAC sucks.
