The only thing intentional in politics is preserving your personal status and wealth. This is bipartisan.

Do people know Codeberg well and migrate to it anyways, or they just don't know? If the former, wondering what gets you to that point.

I get that things are changing with Plex, naturally given it was a steal. But somehow it feels in bad faith when the author got that great deal but puts out this hit piece.

IIUC the main difference with stock is the market prices the items by demand unlike where the treasury effectively prices the items by supply and banks work under that. So the stocks are expected to always be liquid potentially at a lower price while banks have to be bailed out by the government for liquidity if a bank run. This definitely feels different, though I guess the extreme case gets closer, if every single bank needs to be bailed out at once, the currency price will go down like stocks do.

While I have a guess on what elephant everyone is thinking about, I wonder if it's just the stock market - at a higher level capitalism itself. I have felt Android get less stable with pretty much every release for many years now, well before the current boom. I think this is all a long term trend devaluing craftsmanship, with a root cause of why care if you can still make tons of money anyways.

There may be some prompting that can help with this but I suspect there is a fundamental tension between writing working code vs good code in LLMs. Go is popular for being simple, making it easy to jump in and write something fast and stable - minimizing the gap between working and good code probably helps out the LLMs a lot.

Too much muscle memory to change yet but I continue to want to at least try changing my default search engine to Reddit Answers for a trial to see how it compares to Google, probably at least as good.

I've seen LLMs produce terrible code indeed, but I have also seen humans produce terrible code. I haven't dug in to JS runtimes specifically but have read plenty of code in openjdk and cpython - there are many points that could be done better, but there's also no point since it's working, and keeping working code unchanged tends to be a smart decision in software engineering.

So of course the last point brings up whether it was a good idea to rewrite bun if it was working. Apparently the bun team thought the difficulty in getting changes in zig upstream meant it is. I don't intend to hold LLM code to a higher bar than human code - notably if the runtime continues to work, that is as good as I can expect from what is otherwise a huge black box of extreme programming (not that agile kind).

I agree the stdlib is great but the reality is production apps cannot be built using only it.

Most codebases have dependencies. Most accept dependency updates from renovate etc without much thought. Go can remain secure if goproxy has thorough security scans (I think they do but am not sure if it's unbeatable) and if the fact that any attack will be in OSS code itself, rather than packaged just-in-time in a workflow, makes it visible before significant damage. I have no idea if the latter is true but it might be. Of course NPM packages are just as visible as long as someone is scanning them so maybe not.

(Cheeky phrasing, of course this is an anecdote. But for anyone the news is relevant to, definitely recommend a try!)
