At least they're shipping a million lines of code per month per engineer. That's what counts.

it is so annoying when Jonathan Blow says batshit unhinged shit about "the collapse of civilization" and he is kind of right.

I can't judge the severity but his basic point is absolutely correct

If you mean his conference talk by that title, what was batshit unhinged in it? I remember thinking he was spot on. (Then again, if you called me “batshit unhinged”, you wouldn’t be the first to do it, and you may well be right.)

JSX is a convenient notation for structuring HTML that is created with React and similar frameworks. You are imposing a markup hierarchy on attributes that are not inherently hierarchical while giving examples of deceptive weight loss scam slop.

In the past I would say you should be ashamed of yourself but now I don't bother.

The entry for Theranos does not mention the massive fraud that occurred. All of this bullshit is AI-generated, isn't it?

People might want to use RSS to check on your site for updates whether you write it by hand or use some kind of CMS to generate it for you.

WordPress was a technical mess before their founder had a psychotic break and their company posted features advocating for business owners to put bait-and-switch AI slop on their websites.

Do you think that bookmarks serve the same purpose as a RSS feed?

Maybe <1% of visitors might. They're not worth wasting any time satisfying.

I also never met anyone who uses RSS

I forgot where I was writing that. Of course everyone on HN uses RSS.

Yep, lots of different ways to get jacked. That means if you couldn't care less about strength, you can do pretty much any decent exercise that targets the muscle(s) you want to grow in a very wide rep range. Most people want a combination of both size and strength, so you can just do some sets of 5-10 if you aren't already. If you want to have a strong deadlift or squat or whatever, you should train that movement. Not as complicated as fitness social media people want to make it seem: train for what you want.

I don't think this is true. I've been following a fairly standard progression on several of the standard exercises over the last year and half. I've seen steady progression on leg press, which is a strongly stabilized and isolated exercise. I saw the same rate of initial progression on squats but then it dropped off and I haven't really seen any progression for six months.

The issue is stability. I have to provide the stability for squats. The machine gives me stability for leg press. I won't get the stability I need for further progression, at least not at an optimal rate, just from squatting. I need to do complementary exercises.

Stability is not that important or else research would show machines give better results than free weights, and they don't.

It is vital if you are no longer in your twenties and care about health into old age more than simply results. Lack of stability will cause injury very quickly.

Luckily these aren't exclusive! You can do all of those things with a strong type system as well, and get the benefits of all of them.

100%. Types don’t replace fuzzing, property tests, chaos, or adversarial thinking. They just move one slice of bugs from runtime to compile time and make refactors safer.

In hindsight I should have positioned types/ADTs as one layer in the reliability toolbox, not the toolbox.

And as things fell apart / Nobody paid much attention

Some implementations seem vectorization-friendly like the C one that uses a bit-twiddling trick to avoid the `x = -x` line that the Odin implementation and others have.

When you put these programs into Godbolt to see what's going on with them, so much of the code is just the I/O part that it's annoying to analyze

He explicitly endorsed JD Vance in a past stream. Buying his games directly fuels authoritarianism.
