Isn't it solved with Tool Search? I have not heard people complaining about MCP context bloat for like a quarter already.

My company has an AI leaderboard and ONE ranking to be this, AND OTHER rankings like efficiency (loc merged per token). No one is so stupid that they think any single one of this is to be optimized (gamed) for.

Tech journalists have low opinion of people with actual skills who actually contribute to society, and when their opinions get posted here, it's often selectively echoed by people looking for a reason to feel smarter than the industry.

We're gonna need portable energy storage regardless of energy source, it's battery vs fuel. There is no such things as battery vs atomic core.

what's wrong with bun? And how is this better?

would it have the desktop mode and linux terminal? That's the only reason I'm eyeing a Pixel

Did the last AI bubble even pop? Why would I expect this one, arguably more groundbreaking wave of changes to "pop"?

"displays nicely in-editor" is the whole point of yaml. The snapshots in the article are just yaml with additional useless ASCII characters

for snapshot tests it seems better to diff a data representation such as some yaml string, than to diff UIs

sorry both of the things you said are false, why are they stated so confidently?

New comment by nsonha in "Does anybody like React?"

nsonha — Tue, 26 May 2026 07:50:19 +0000

vanila javascript would not be far off, just replace the tags with function calls. In early versions of react, there were people who wrote code like that. For some reason web devs since collectively agreed that the xml syntax is essential to web technologies

nsonha — Tue, 26 May 2026 06:02:08 +0000

I think mostly people like to have logical component with all the code in one place and not have to think about structuring css/html/js separately. Many people like react for jsx (surprisingly, because initially there was a lot of push back even in early react adoption).

Then they took it to the next level with things like styled-component. Virtual DOM is just an implementation detail and overrated to the success of React.

Any future web framework that solves that component thing and allow people to just write code instead of "web code", they'll win.

(I am aware that the web veterans don't like that view)

they still need to file for permanent residency and you can still reject them.

If the laws need to "wipe away that compromise", better just disqualify them from filing in the first place.

It makes no sense to deport some of the people that you're going to give permanent residency to, while you're giving permanent residency to them.

not just de facto standard and not just in the US, it's a logical way to intepret the laws, in many western countries. The laws should streamline and welcome people who have already established connection and contributed to the success of America. It makes no sense for people to have to leave the country to apply for permanent resident, and be treated like all those to-be immigrants who have never lived in America.

Isn't kotlin a more modern choice coming from java, that's designed propperly instead a series of bolted on decisions?

I see their name mentiod everywere along with Aider, presumably for being among the first agents, but I've never met anyone that actually uses them.

nsonha — Sun, 24 May 2026 11:55:14 +0000

The author was pretty clear about his motivation on the language. It's to make it more sustainable for them to maintain bun (instead of directly making bun safer), but the former can and often will result in the latter.

New comment by nsonha in "Deno 2.8"

nsonha — Sat, 23 May 2026 02:22:48 +0000

"basic permission model" used to be the only thing Deno had going for, and the keyword is "basic". They pivot pretty late to become a drop-in replacement for nodejs (using the term drop-in loosely here).

Bun has a pragmatic approach from the beginning for being a all-in-one toolset (not just a runtime) and node's replacement. They also has gradual adoption paths such as using bun only as package manager and/or test runner.

A classic "native" software with its clunky UI, "conventional" MacOS.
