AI programming. I feel like it will get to the point where AI will start writing code that works but nobody can understand or maintain including AI.

If you are able to explain the requirements to an AI so fully that the AI can do it correctly it would have taken shorter time to program by yourself.

AI powered code completion is another story though and I’m looking forward to it.

One of the things LNG has over coal is that it’s very easy to turn off and on in case cheaper sources aren’t producing enough. LNG plays much better with renewables and coal also produces ton of pollution and particulate matter. It’s the lesser of two evils when there are no methane leaks.

Methane leaks will still punch the climate in the gut so any leaks are unacceptable and all methane gas needs to be accounted for.

Both obviously need to be replaced with renewables and large cost efficient energy storage. Hydrogen is attractive since energy doesn’t degrade over time, pumped hydro for weekly to monthly high quantity and power, flywheels/lithium batteries to stabilise the grid frequency, heat storage with district heating for households and redux flow batteries with massive containers for winter/summer differences.

We might live in a strange world where it’ll be easier to run Windows programs on ARM with Linux than on the OS they’re written for.

String/rope. With a couple of knots, loops and tension you can make a lot of things with it.

I think it depends on how you use the OS, Gnome is great until you have a bunch of outdated extensions that break stuff. My impression is that KDE is better for the “advanced” use case and gnome is better for the “default”. I tried gnome recently and I found it very pleasant and easy to use but I prefer KDE since it has more customization.

I’d argue it’s the other way around. Windows is doing the heavy lifting of being like KDE and when they try to do something themselves everybody hates it.

Any distro with KDE, when I was on Windows I thought Linux always looked like Gnome.

People may hate on SOAP but I’ve never had issues with setting up a SOAP client

I don’t mind xml as long as I don’t have to read or write it. The only real thing I hate about xml is that an array of one object can mistaken for a property of the parent instead of a list

Sorry, I mixed those up. Thanks for the correction

System76 is doing that these days. They put extra hardware support for their Linux distro TuxedoOS and I’ve heard good things.

Edit: System76 make PopOS and Tuxedo computers make TuxedoOS

Best is when the API doesn’t match a PDF and says “500: Internal Error”

I like the concept and I think the use case is almost covered by generating API client through generated OpenAPI spec.

It’s needs a bit of setup but a client library can be built whenever a backend server is built.

Probably an OS

I can tell that this guy fucks

I kebab case mine for personal files.

It’s mostly because I don’t have to use a modifier key and it’s doesn’t need url encoding and all in the same lowercase. Dot notation looks nice but I feel like dots are for extensions only. Flat case is horrible to read, screaming case even worse, camel/pascal case to many times ends up as coolFileNAme on first time typing.

I’ve done a couple of different styles because of programming in different languages but now if I have to do anything that’s not kebab case I make a small frown.

Also, even if you think it’s a bug it might be a feature that other people use and “fixing” changing it might break systems.

There’s always going to be pushback on new ideas. He’s basically asking people questions like “Hey how does your thing work? I want to write it in rust.” and gets the answer “I’m not going to learn rust.”.

I think rust is generally a good thing and with a good amount of tests to enforce behavior it’s possible to a functionally equivalent copy of the current code with no memory issues in future maintenance of it. Rewriting things in rust will also force people to clarify the behavior and all possible theoretical paths a software can take.

I’m not gonna lie though, if I would have worked on software for 20 years and people would introduce component that’s written in another language my first reaction would be “this feels like a bad idea and doesn’t seem necessary”.

I really hope that the kernel starts taking rust seriously, it’s a great tool and I think it’s way easier to write correct code in rust than C. C is simple but lacks the guardrails of modern languages which rust has.

The process of moving to rust is happening but it’s going to take a really long time. It’s a timescale current maintainers don’t really need to worry about since they’ll be retired anyway.

Ubuntu installation wizard is really solid.
