That still involves downloading shit you don’t want just to get ratio. Which is kinda stupid IMO
I’m running 24/7, I’ve got one torrent running for 2 years with a ratio of 10 (and not even a small one) while most things get 0 kB up in even a year.
Who’s also anti-union
And refuses to provide a proper warranty on his expensive merch, saying “we’ll figure it out on a case by case basis”
and so on. Those are things I knew about LTT before the GN coverage.
Well I think it’s different for scientific discoveries where something is either found or not. Software and other products… There are niche things that may never exist without the author, and there are generic things that would be created in one form or another anyway. Once programming languages were a thing, general purpose high level languages were bound to happen IMO and there are infinite possible languages.
That emoji is incidentally how I feel about this whole thing being possible
Oh wow I didn’t realize Pascal was even older than C, thought it showed up in like mid-70s or early 80s. To be fair I’ve ever only interacted with Delphi, not OG Pascal.
While I don’t necessarily like C, I am happy for C-style syntax over Pascal-style, which I’ve also worked with. Give me braces over begin and end any day of the week.
Seems you’re too reserved to ever become a konqueror.
Not to downplay dmr’s importance here because he quite literally is the father of modern computing, but without him we’d just have something else and perhaps it would’ve been a bit later. A different systems programming language and a different operating system everything else is modeled after. High-level programming languages weren’t a new concept when he wrote C. Before B they already had Fortran. Funny to call any of those High-level in 2026, but that’s the whole importance of C, isn’t it? It made writing complex systems easy compared to assembly languages or even fortran.
I’m not gonna bother doing a writeup about Jobs, we all here know he made precisely Jack shit.
Completely vibe-coded project it seems, even documentation. And yet:
Human-Origin Source License
Also love this:
You may not, without prior written permission from the Author:
- ship or maintain a modified version outside the contribution-purpose
rules;
- maintain a divergent private or internal fork;
- port, clone, rebrand, or recreate the Covered Software;
- create an API-compatible replacement, behavioral clone, competing
implementation, or Derivative Implementation; or
- use AI-assisted implementation mining to create, improve, test,
document, or validate a Derivative Implementation.
Look, I use AI too (mostly to speed things up by working on multiple items in parallel), but I’m not gonna stuff “human-origin source license” on anything I use it for, nor do I think creating API-compatible replacements, competing implementations, etc, should reasonably be possible to block with a license… Also, quite literally, he’s creating tools for reverse engineering, which in itself is generally in breach of the license of whatever software is being reverse engineered. Fuck off and use a FOSS license, whether it be permissive or copyleft…
This is… uh…
It reads like the author doesn’t know what containers are. Because this is actually a great use case for containers unless I’m missing something.
Now, do I want reverse engineering software from someone who in 2026 doesn’t know of a better way to manage dependencies than “tell AI to install everything”? Not particularly lol
Also:
Install Eclipse Adoptium 21: https://adoptium.net/temurin/releases/?version=21
It’s Eclipse Temurin not Eclipse Adoptium. And why not install from distro repo?
Install from https://cmake.org/download/
Also why not from distro repo?
Install Visual Studio 2022, or apt install build-essential / xcode-select --install
NOW distro repo is fine, but only if you use an APT based distro?
and then 3 more dependencies it tells the agent to install from websites.
The weirdest thing is you can get much better results from AI. I’m 99% sure this person gave the AI particularly bad instructions to generate the install instructions, or used a cheap, crappy model.
Script needs to be updated, Rust wasn’t particularly popular back then (if it existed. I don’t know how old this one is, but it’s pretty old)
World runs on them though. I don’t mean business to consumer shit, all that can rot in hell. I mean business to business. There’s shit out there that’s incredibly niche, takes a ton of effort to develop, and there’s no way it would ever be achieved without a huge financial incentive (because it’s just so niche and it turns out paying tens or hundreds of people takes money). And someone’s gotta pay the people writing all your open source code so most of them need day jobs anyway, which will be difficult to have without any commercial software existing. Sometimes the “all our code is GPL, but you can pay us to host it for you” model works, but a lot of the time it doesn’t.
No, libraries should remain permissive IMO. Applications can be restrictive if they want to. I just don’t see any point in a copyleft library or framework.
I’ve never heard the left 2 ones used IRL tbh
I’m assuming they were hoping you don’t actually believe it to be possible, not hoping that it’s impossible.
As far as I know, there’s no viable way to get water out of energy. All the different hydrocarbons we burn tend to produce water as a result of the burning process (CO2 and H2O being the results of a clean burning hydrocarbon).
The trouble is, you need energy to break bonds between atoms, and energy gets released as bonds are created. H2O has some pretty strong bonds and there’s nothing you can easily make it react with to get more or stronger bonds in there.
Water can be used in internal combustion engines to cool down the combustion chambers if you’re running super high performance, but that doesn’t meant water injection is adding energy from water, you’d still be burning more fuel to get more power.
It in fact doesn’t matter much which one you buy from, they all sell the same product and the product they sell is the problem.
Yes, it’s impossible to effect change as a single person so government action is needed… But the necessary consequence of that is that we also stop consuming as much fuel.
I’m from neither there nor there, but given that there are two signs that can be called pound sign, it’s IMO less confusing if you use “pound sterling” sign for the pound sterling, and “pound” sign for the other pound sign
Also the word pound has lost all meaning to me now, it look weird to read or write the word pound
£ is pound sterling sign, not pound sign. # is pound sign.
Well yes… If you get that far.
I literally can’t stay on a project long enough unless it’s work where money motivates me. I’ll think of a new cool project and start on that instead of the previous one.
I do also have ADHD to be fair.
It’s unsurprising.
Normal development: Start work on new project, design it really well, start work, get bored after a week. Project 10% towards first release. Oh well.
Vibe coding: Have a buggy mess ready in a few hours, spend the next few days improving it somewhat, get bored after a week, app was already released by the time you quit.
Huh? If you have .692 on a 4 year old torrent, that’s a very good torrent to be seeding by my standards. I recently deleted a bunch of torrents added in 2024-2025 that were on 0.000-0.005 ratio. Almost nobody has downloaded them after me.
Of the ones I’ve downloaded this year, only one 2026 movie has been doing well. All the older stuff is super well seeded AND nobody’s downloading.
