I get dishonest vibes from this post? Jev claims to be cheaper/more efficient, and the post claims just to achieve the same functionality.

Do you have anything to improve remote (SSH?) development? Meaning: the frontend is GPU accelerated, and that is great, but if you are fetching pages from the server instead of caching the buffers and intelligently fetching the LSP (or whatever language backend is used) updates, we are bottlenecked by the SSH connection latency

Why would anyone want .NET on Linux?

No. Code will contain bugs, won't be self-contained (will depend on 3rd party libraries and frameworks), and often will not be complete as TODO features can't possibly be a spec

It's working fine for me.

I'm lucky enough to have upper management not pressuring to use it this or that way, and I'm using mostly to assist with programming languages/frameworks I'm not familiar with. Also, test cases (these sometimes comes wrong and I need to review thoroughly), updating documentation, my rubber duck, and some other repetitive/time consuming tasks.

Sometimes, if I have a simple, self-contained bug scenario where extensive debug won't be required, I ask it to find the reason. I have a high rate of success here.

However, it will not help you with avoiding anti-patterns. If you introduce one, it will indulge instead of pointing the problem out.

I did give it a shot on full vibe-coding a library into production code, and the experience was successful; I'm using the library - https://youtu.be/wRpRFM6dpuc

New comment by zteppenwolf in "Rust's Serde Large Overhead"

Rust's widely used serde library presents a large serialization overhead due to its visitor pattern, that is inefficient when compared to serialization implementations that simply follows the static declarations.

I guess people who continue to use Windows in 2024 arguably deserve this, particularly those utilizing it in a production environment.

No news there. NSA is not to be trusted. It's been a decade since serious cryptographers stopped using primitives researched @ NSA.

zteppenwolf — Tue, 11 Apr 2023 14:47:09 +0000

I'm personally not a big fan of CLion. Too heavy, not as near customizable as (Neo)Vim, this damned `.idea` folder, constant re-caching. I tried to use it a couple of times, but always ended up going back to Vim.

This is very cool! I created this small convenience script without the intent to customize `Termdebug` itself, leaving any preferences to the users. But I can see many nice things you added there that can combine very well with the two!

Oh no, this is just a wrapper for `RR`. Any visualization customization must be done via `~/.rr_gdbinit` and `~/.gdbinit`

I just hope Rust won't end up being forked tho. We had such an amazing community around it...

I don't know about that, but maybe they will try to create a new platform with their own expertise? There is clearly some public for that.
