If you are doing 1000 commits a day, whats the point of git?

Does the AI ever look back at the shit trail it left behind?

Diffs are no longer diffs, they look like largescale delete and rewrite

How hard is it to do plain search first for crying out loud.

You need help.

Get off the computer and mobile, take a hike, do some gardening or something.

Just out of curiosity, what is the reasonable range of pay for an engineer of your caliber in the UK?

By forcing oil to be bought with dollars, the USD was pegged to oil demand, especially from developing nations whose consumption was growing.

Also SWIFT being a means of control of movement of funds.

New comment by rep_movsd in "Ask HN: Why can't computers copy GIFs at OS level?"

rep_movsd — Tue, 09 Dec 2025 17:23:12 +0000

Copy and paste are handled by applications and the OS shell Any program is free to define the formats it is willing to copy or paste - like mime types.

Software sucks, not because its bad, but because people wont implement things

This article (and entire book) actually posits that US will remain the primary producer and consumer of copium worldwide and thus the #1

rep_movsd — Mon, 22 Sep 2025 16:01:24 +0000

Maybe I'm really dumb, but it should be obvious that replacing a section of rope in one knot with another, is intuitively not going to simply "add the unknotting numbers"

This is why Stallman is so vehement on GPLv3

Commercial entities will always exploit your work - you need to force them to give back, they will never do the positive sum game by default

Wow - I cant think anyone would spend such a long time on how everyone but themselves is wrong.

It started out interesting, but was simply a long rambling text where there seems to be no point

Disagree totally....

The whole point is to be able to convert JS data structures (or often plain JSON) into HTML via JSX

Data and representation are different. I may be using the same array to display different components

New comment by rep_movsd in "Wc2: Investigates optimizing 'wc', the Unix word count program"

rep_movsd — Thu, 20 Jun 2024 15:47:48 +0000

Remember "The Zen of Code Optimization" by Michael Abrash in the 90s?

This word count challenge was the first one he described. The table driven approach was discussed, but was not necessarily the fastest due to the large cache overflowing (on 90s processors) table needed.

I used the same example in a chapter I wrote for a C++ book
