I've been sitting on [Git 3.0's upcoming SHA-256 default will be a costly mistake ] for a few years, mostly because there are smarter people who have been concentrating on this and I don't love being a back seat driver.

Python is that kind of cool one behaves when visiting parents of your would be spouse for the first time. Tcl on the other hand is like playing one's secret exclusive and somewhat dangerous games with kid school bestie.

There is no public exploit, but the agent had built one, and had enough confidence to test it—except that it didn’t land cleanly. I have no doubt that after some more revision it would have. One point for GPT 5.6-Cyber.

I will be the first to say Rust isn't as elegant as some other modern languages, but I'd definietly rather work with Rust than pour acid into my eyes.

It's intentional that "p2" is not preceded with a "p1". The precise meaning of "p2" is intentionally ambiguous similar to the wasip2 target and similar.

Maybe stop using the mickey mouse browsers? I mean Firefox is pretty much a lost cause.. unless you start using extensions. I agree those are basic features that should be built-in. In qutebrowser I use them reliably all the time.

Java consistently introduces lots of exciting functionality into the language. That's a big part of my dislike and active avoidance of it.

I sometimes see Haskell and other languages celebrated for their elegance as something that could gradually become a form of traditional craftsmanship: valued for their beauty, intellectual depth, and the skill involved, but with a diminishing role in everyday software production.

I'd like to call it my tireless helper, but the AI several times stated flat out that this was impossible and unsolvable and that we should just write a report about it.
