If you've spent half your life not knowing what the sunk-cost fallacy is, it's probably not worth learning it now.
the absolutely instant startup of a native Win32 app feels _beautiful_
Look, if Apple took a hit of $200 on every Mac sold, their $147b reserves could only survive another 58 years at current sales figures.
Maybe it will become trendy again to optimize your software to use less RAM.
JUST IN: Apple $AAPL raises iPads and Macs prices due to memory chip costs: • iPad Air: $599 → $749 • MacBook Neo: $599 → $699 • iPad Pro WiFi: $999 → $1,199 • MacBook Air: $1,099 → $1,299 • MacBook Pro: $1,699 → $1,999

Some programming languages have so much syntactic sugar you get syntax diabetes.
I should add we use an eñe (ñ) instead.
It is unbelievable how much better all software has become in the past 6 months! Like everything is working better! Fewer bugs. New features all the time! The apps I use every day have improved at least 10x from where they were just 6 months ago! Services I depend on never break. Oh wait. None of that happened. Almost everything is actually significantly worse. Not sure how to make sense of that given all the immense productivity gains. Actually I do. Regression to the mean has more gravity than ever. And that is not a good thing.
the biggest problem is that most people in this space talking about model's performance were not good programmers to begin with and don't even know what good is.
I’m tired of useless AI benchmarks. How about we give three people a different model, strand them on an island, and see who survives the longest

1/ We are sharing additional details regarding our investigation into unauthorized access to GitHub's internal repositories. Yesterday we detected and contained a compromise of an employee device involving a poisoned VS Code extension. We removed the malicious extension version, isolated the endpoint, and began incident response immediately.
Quite extraordinary that getting people who don't know what they're doing use robots that get things wrong half the time to hack around company computer systems isn't the great success the tech industry promised us. Who'd have thought...?
Creator of C++, Bjarne Stroustrup: AI-generated code isn't ready — it generates more bugs, more bloat, more security holes, and is nearly impossible to validate "senior developers are already retiring rather than deal with it" The problem is that even a small prompt change can
Can’t wait to watch services go token based and have users run to whoever happens to be subsidized until they give up! They should just rip off the bandaid
GitHub Copilot moves to token based billing on June 1, and its users got a calculator showing their actual monthly token burn - some $39-a-month users have spent $1500 to $5800 in tokens a month. I believe it's indicative of every AI startup. wheresyoured.at/premium-what-i…
Maybe I should review & update the win32 api-based task manager I built with some friends for a school assignment a few years ago. Very basic stuff, i'm sure lots of bugs, but no uwp, winui, or the likes tho.
Just found out an active File Pilot community member @thomasklemenc made a task manager inspired by it! Handmade from scratch, C++, win32, D3D custom renderer, 1.55 MB. More of this in my feed, less AI slopware.
You asked for longer rants, so here are longer rants! After almost 10 years I'm back to blogging. Thanks for the encouragement. Link below in the thread 🔻
I maybe overreacted on the Windows CPU boost solution Perhaps folks like me are frustrated and want to hear about code optimizations over cranking up a CPU even if it’s a legit clever trick. The other thing is, I’m concerned about the damaged Intel Raptor Lake CPUs. I own one.
Let me get this straight Developers couldn't figure out how to make efficient apps, so they made us buy devices with 32GB of RAM Now they can't figure out how to make performant apps, so they're making us pay for more electricity?
Microsoft's hidden Windows 11 trick makes apps launch 70% faster. I tested it on a low-end PC, and early results are promising. Right now, when you click Start, open File Explorer, launch Edge, or right-click for a context menu, and there’s often that tiny micro-stutter before
It's of course not at all exclusive to web frontend, the same thing is starting to happen with Unreal & Unity, or with "AWS glue" style backend / devops jobs. Learning a tool rather than the fundamentals gets you started quicker, but ultimately limits your growth.
I've found UI programming to be very deep and interesting if you're doing it all from scratch (API design, layout, rendering, text handling, focus management, animation, input handling etc). Such a shame we condemned a generation of frontend devs to the browser black box.
Just want to make sure I'm reading this right: Microsoft rewrote the run dialog with performance "top-of-mind", and the best they could manage to do when putting up a single text box was 10fps?
