Does it use your tokens when it does this check for malware? or is that part covered by anthropic?

I misread that as "current times" and thought it would sing the news.

It does need more streams for other timezones.

Drop the AI written story, take me straight to the "Explore Your Record" view. That's more interesting.

If they managed to make 3 full movies out of The Hobbit, they'll surely be able to make a movie or 2 out of 6 chapters of LotR.

Regarding runtime overhead, I'd assume you would still need an io implementation, it is just showing it to you explicitly instead of it being hidden behind the std lib.

For simple projects where you don't want to pass it around in function parameters, you can create a global object with one implementation and use it from everywhere.

React Native is Javascript on top of the native toolkit of the platform. No HTML or CSS here.

What's the problem with the mascot? PostgreSQL has an elephant and MySQL a dolphin. Is the bug too detailed for database software?

I wonder, does the important_value function get called and the value discarded or never called at all? Looks like a footgun if it has side-effects.

Upvotes won't fix the problem. Build the future you want, then people will come.

As little code as possible to get the job done without enormous dependencies. Avoiding js and using css and html as much as possible.

New comment by garbagepatch in "Public static void main(String[] args) is dead"

garbagepatch — Tue, 16 Sep 2025 05:44:40 +0000

It makes sense to still have a main function. It doesn't make sense to have a class only to wrap that main function.

There's no scrollbar but scrollback works with alt+page_up or scrolling with the mouse wheel or touchpad. They do mention they'll implement scrollback search and scrollbars in 1.3.

Pressing ' twice places one ' in the search box and then you have to delete it. You can press ' to get the search box empty.
