An LLM solved a coding problem that I had last night in a really elegant way I was not going to think of, and I was mad about it. Then I spent the rest of the evening asking it how to solve all the other problems I had, and it didn't work at all, so now I'm feeling better.

I think every sign in should use passkeys by default with a link emailed to you as a fallback. No option for passwords. Then the factors are having your device, and the once-per-session password or biometric to access your passkeys.

Now available: View dependents of projects! Quite possibly *the* most highly requested feature for many years now, you can now browse for projects that depend on other projects. Also, browse for modpacks that contain the mods you're most interested in playing!

In the "More options" menu on project pages there are two new options, "View dependents" and "View modpacks"

A new "Depends on" filter category in search, which lets you select a project and type of dependency you're looking for.

A new "Included content" filter category in Modpack search, which lets you search for modpacks that contain selected projects.

Tried out the Unplugged AFK mod as demonstrated by Xisuma - game changer. TBH a huge benefit is that I need the first thing I do in the morning to be thinking about my day and what to do that day, not minecraft. And when I wake up and see minecraft open, my whole day becomes minecraft by default.

Why are we making Conway's Game of Life this complicated? Full disclosure, I haven't tested my version yet but dang if I don't feel like I did this right Simply the most confusing match statement possible. The catch-all "otherwise" in the example code will always evaluate to Cell:Dead🤨 #rustlang

Screenshot of two rust language match statements, labeled "my code" and "the tutorial's code". They both calculate the next state of a cell in Conway's Game of Life given the current alive/dead status of the cell. The one labeled "my code" has two match patterns that are both very clear and concise. The match statement labeled "the tutorial's code" has five match patterns that are a mess.

If you're really interested in a technical difference, up until Dall-E was released in 2021, a lot of things passed as AI. Since then, the "AI" everyone thinks of, including text and image generation, have all, to my knowledge, been built on top of a technology called "Neural Networks".

Saying Microsoft "open-sourced" it implies they wrote it and it is now under an open source license. Microsoft didn't write that code. That open source project has been in the works for ages, slowly creeping up toward passing the full test suite. The news is that Microsoft published an .exe fork.

I've gotten more excited about working in the shell since I was recently exposed to the unix philosophy (according to Peter Salus): - Write programs that do one thing and do it well. - Write programs to work together. - Write programs to handle text streams, because that is a universal interface.

When I was a kid learning to code, I immediately figured out that no one around me would see how cool a program was unless it generated a cool visual (they weren't coders). Now if I need a status display on a program, I've got nuanced preferences and the practice to implement it😅 This looks great!
