@AxiomVerge Microsoft is very bad at AI. Don’t fall for the “we use the same models”. AI is more than the model at the backend, bad context, unreliable agents, and bad prompting all ruin the output Make sure to give it acceptance criteria that it can deterministically evaluate at the end

@JimBriton @empire_res66190 We call it ding-dong-ditch. There is a racist version (“n-word knocking”).

@patrickgwsmith I don’t know what that is. I am a high level web developer for 10 years, and this years I started low level with Rust, WASM, and WebGPU. And very happy with the results. Genuinely, give me your best sales pitch for why I should care.

@tuuu28283 @JimSomer1022 It is about $1 per stick. Not cheap, not expensive.

@lauriewired I feel like things converge In our UNIX timeline, UNIX companies did everything to vendor lock to specific hardware, Linux addressed this with portability and relative modularity, etc etc The same broad strokes would have happened. An IBM-like OS would emerge and be like linux

@KDirectorate @waozixyz Thats fair. It would have been better to fork it, but then they would have to maintain twice the code, and have less real world testing. But they did at least start with non-LTS releases to test the water, and they did roll stuff back, so its not completely ham-handed

@jauneclaude @waozixyz It was first tested in ubuntu 22.10, and it joined LTS with 24.04 The fix was just to edit a different config file and use different reload command, but it made me angry because there are no warning messages, just silent failure to take the settings from sshd_config.

@jauneclaude @waozixyz I got pretty angry recently when O discovered that they gave ownership of the SSH socket from SSHD to SystemD. Broke my setup scripts, because you cannot change the ssh port to a non-standard port from the sshd config file.

@KDirectorate @waozixyz It might have more to do with the memory bugs that have plagued systems programming for decades. With that said, these rewrites use so many unsafe blocks that it defeats the point. They are just transferring the C anti-pattern into Rust.

@quarkstuff @karl_zylinski @rfleury That works if you don’t have an in-app theme override, but the linked one does (but uses a query param to store it, oddly). Either way you will need at least the background style to live inline in the html to guarantee to prevent the flash

@rfleury @LukeberryPi Any solution that involves waiting longer for the first content paint would hurt more users than it helps, because the most do not use dark mode. For normal SSR pages i use the the inline script in <head> that reads user preference color, and sets the BG early. For SPA non issue

@kulkalkul @valigo It is not a silver bullet, but at least a bronze bullet. It certainly does a better job than ANY alternative. Unsafe code that does exist is much easier to audit.

@patrickgwsmith @ashirsc @rough__sea Wow. I hadn’t heard of that. Hopefully safari and firefox implements it soon after chrome. I have some webgpu stuff that could benefit.

@patrickgwsmith @ashirsc @rough__sea No, that is an accessibility mistake. Everything from form auto-fill to screen readers will not work with that. And remember, the disabilities act requires public services to be accessible to the disabled. It is mandatory.
