I will literally pay $100 a month for open source tab completion model that I can put into doom emacs.
there's lots of oss models. but is anyone working on an open source tab complete model?. i use and love supermaven, cursor tab is better but wondering if anyone is trying to make this open.

Whenever I meet someone I try to be as high energy and excited as possible because there's nothing more boring than meeting someone unexcited and low energy.

Zig made a really good design decision to make the pointer dereferencing operator postfix so it could be easily chained. But for some reason it made `try` prefix (unlike Rusts `?`) which makes not chainable and ugly

I already had 2FA on, and received no e-mail or notice about any suspicious login on my account, so something is really fishy here.

I appreciate their quick response, but this is very sus from github:. They "had reasons to believe" that my account was comprised and suspended my account without even telling me. And they won't tell me their "reasons", so I don't know how to prevent this from happening again
My @github account got deleted for no apparent reason and it deleted all my PRs and issues on the @bunjavascript repo

Reading the React source is harder than reading the webkit codebase or the linux kernel.

I wonder why JS bundlers decided to invent a new name and call it "tree-shaking". I feel like the traditional term, dead-code elimination, is way more descriptive.

Zig will very annoyingly emit compile errors for unused variables, parameters. But it won't for unused imports, which IMO is far worse than unused variables.
zig is such an annoying brat about unused variables, there is a fork to solely add a flag to disable them. seriously wtf is wrong with you andrew

I spent the whole day trying to fix a bug in Bun that @jarredsumner helped me fix in 5 minutes of explaining the problem to him.

Sometimes I miss Rust's iterators so much. I feel like a caveman when I have to write a for-loop by hand.

TIL C++ lets you put return types in both directions (why?).

This is 100% a skill and tooling issue. The real speed and productivity boost comes from running and orchestrating multiple coding agents at once. Claude Code enables this (Cursor doesn't) and I don't think most developers really know yet how to micro >1 concurrent agents
We ran a randomized controlled trial to see how much AI coding tools speed up experienced open-source developers. The results surprised us: Developers thought they were 20% faster with AI tools, but they were actually 19% slower when they had access to AI than when they didn't.
