@mjk@hachyderm.io > I would have made fewer changes to a human PR, because I'm sensitive to completely ripping up someone's work. I too find that's a huge difference from the way I approach regular PRs. If someone comes with a LLM-assisted PR and there's anything in it that makes my life harder as a reviewer or maintainer, I respond without regard for churn or seemingly gratuitous changes. These things don't have feelings or memory.

@bradlarsen@infosec.exchange Back in the dark ages, linked list of arrays were a classic way to implement file buffers in editors, and there were two kinds of people: some who thought we should use fancier data structures with better asymptotics, and others who decreed long lines were user error.

@TomF@mastodon.gamedev.place @sol_hsa@mastodon.gamedev.place @ocornut@mastodon.gamedev.place you can delete unit tests when they become irrelevant. unless i have clear properties, I see them more as automatically invalidated documentation of what happens for a small set of inputs.

@gvwilson@mastodon.social duckdb's python api might work, if you're looking for polars-like DB querying? But also, write lock around rename(2) overwrites of a tiny parquet file sounds reasonable to me!

@joe@f.duriansoftware.com @zwarich@hachyderm.io i while back, i sketched multi-shot continuations in SPMD C with just logging + replaying nondeterministic choices :/ [because sometimes that's easier than serialising closures]

@csgordon yeah… i definitely type faster than LLMs spit out tokens. but i can only use one keyboard at a time. FWIW, my kid's school is trying to teach them touch typing… on ipads.

@regehr @csgordon i have more faith in her book88 and mavis.exe

@cancel @lritter an extraordinary claim.

@cks @regehr grid style hard memory reservations + retry with a larger reservation on OOM :)

@pervognsen can't be too far… i've already had to do that when clang cleverly detected that my inline asm wasn't supported by the -march on the build line… sometimes I just don't want *the compiler* to use fancy stuff, even though it's available.

@demofox@mastodon.gamedev.place like enforce a specific (low) fps instead of just vsync. I'm also looking at the missing key input on linux

@zwol@masto.hackers.town @Loosf@yiff.life they studied a cohort of junior programmers with not necessarily a lot of python exposure (at least once a week), and no prior exposure to a complex library (Trio).

@csgordon@types.pl @regehr@mastodon.social @krismicinski@types.pl From here (with an in-house design team), it feels like fragmentation is treated as feature… and you wouldn't be surprised by my evaluation of the SIMD extensions.

@csgordon@types.pl @regehr@mastodon.social @krismicinski@types.pl ISA extensions for sure.

@demofox@mastodon.gamedev.place I'll try to introduce the kid to that. Are you open to an fps target functionality?
