Death by a Thousand Slops
I have previously blogged about the relatively new trend of AI slop in vulnerability reports submitted to curl and how it hurts and exhausts us. This trend does not seem to slow down. On the contrary, it seems that we have recently not only received more AI slop but also more human slop. The latter … Continue reading…

Font Comparison: Atkinson Hyperlegible Mono vs. JetBrains Mono and Fira Code
Recently, I modified anthes.is to use my own subsetted versions of Atkinson Hyperlegible Next and Atkinson Hyperlegible Mono. Following the principle of eating your own dog food , I also switched to Atkinson Hyperlegible Mono in my terminal. After a month of daily use, I can now assess this font’s practical advantages…

The Theatre of Pull Requests and Code Review
I recently attended the Goatmire Elixir Conf and one of the standout talks for me was Saša Jurić’s “Tell Me a Story” .

Obvious things C should do
Standard C undergoes regular improvements, now at C23. But there are baffling things that have not been fixed at all. The Dlang community embedded a C compiler in the D programming language compiler so it could compile C. This C compiler (aka ImportC ) was built from scratch. It provided the opportunity to use modern…

Google, Nvidia, and OpenAI
OpenAI and Nvidia are both under threat from Google; I like OpenAI’s chances best, but they need an advertising model to beat Google as an Aggregator.

Things you can do with a debugger but not with print debugging
People do or do not use debuggers for a variety of reasons. For one thing, they are hard to setup in many codebases. Second, you can’t use them when your application is running on remote environments (such as kuberenetes). So, anecdotally, I have seen way more people using Print/ log.Debug compared to a debugger.

Bad Dye Job
It might have made some sense to bring someone from the fashion/brand world to lead software design for Apple Watch, but it sure didn’t seem to make sense for the rest of Apple’s platforms. And the decade of Dye’s HI leadership has proven it.
