South Korea, Japan, Germany, France, Belgium, Afghanistan (although Biden fucked up and pulled out), and Iraq. That's a pretty impressive list.

Claude code, second attempt, plus some editing of course.

It's mostly that I believe in Mojo having a strong future and I wanted to try it a bit. And after a while it felt like I was committed.

Code at: https://github.com/boxed/turbokod

I've used Claude a TON to build this, I freely admit. It started out as an experiment on how good Claude was at porting the C++ codebase for TurboVision to Mojo (fairly good), and then if I could build a simple editor, then I sort of got carried away and wondered if I could replace my daily driver PyCharm.

I'm now on ~4 days of using this as my daily driver, so it's going well. For Django development I did have to make my own LSP with Django special features too: https://github.com/boxed/iommi_lsp

Maybe. But also, if the regime falls, you know who will become richer and more healthy? ALL CUBANS!

If bad people do the right thing for the wrong reasons, we should be thankful, not angry.

Ok? But it's still like 1/3.

They don't change the on-disk structure all the time though...

Seconded. Coming from MySQL this is a huge regression that makes Postgres look like something from the 80s. I still wonder why this isn't seen as the absolutely highest priority.

Maybe you meant Safari is buggy and crashed? I can easily get Safari to crash by zooming in and out a bit. Reports to Apple go ignored...

General models are very cheap to get started with though. So even if they are less than ideal, you can use them to get a company going and then make something more efficient.

If the design was done with Claude Code/Design it would be a lot better than this imo. Bland, but better.

The most Apple-ish thing would be to produce a great platform, enable third parties to do something on top of it, and take a cut.

I REALLY wish they'd do that with voice assistants.

If you did go at 99.999999% or whatever 10 light years away means basically no time for you. That's how time dilation works. Or, from your subjective experience, the faster you go, the shorter the distance. If you go REALLY fast, the distance shrinks to nothing. Those two perspectives are the same way to think about the same underlying time/distance transformation that happens.

From the comments on the article by the author it looks more like 10% so far and they haven't systematically looked. That means ~10% if a probable floor of how much fraud there is.

Eh? If you go at light speed you can literally go everywhere in the universe subjectively instantly due to time dilation.

It doesn't help that a lot of the suggested policies are mind numbingly stupid. Like "wealth tax" for people who own controlling equity in companies. Someone else values your company more and now you are forced by law to sell it and lose control, probably destroying the company.
