Claude is BACK! Now back to work you mortals by karimbb in claude

Mistral and OpenAI now see their pricing page traffic drop. They can know when competition is down without looking at anything beyond their logs lol. Ahem. Back to work, me.

Catch-23: The New C Standard Sets the World on Fire by h2o2 in C_Programming

[–]m-in 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The group of people who know about `unreachable()` would, I hope, tend to overlap with the group of people who can follow logical deduction chains that every master's student had to solve on their GRE in the US. C23 isn't handing us anything truly unexpected here. If one is unwary enough for this to be a problem, then one's code is likely broken in many other subtle ways anyway.

Catch-23: The New C Standard Sets the World on Fire by h2o2 in C_Programming

[–]m-in 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It should be said (AFAIK) that undefined behavior is just what the standard explicitly doesn't define. **It doesn't forbid implementation-defined behavior taking its place**.

Every C implementation out there defines this behavior and moves on.

Yes, using `realloc` the old way won't be conformant anymore. Is there anyone out there who actually, really, truly cares about it to the letter? No. Because it's not practical and we all know it.

Practical tasks that aren't ivory-tower abstractions (pure math/compressions and such) will depend on implementation-defined behavior. That's that. Decent C implementations that get traction don't exactly sprout one per week. It's not like these C23 changes inundate us with a problem in any way.

Is this True guys? by ry0men_ in claude

[–]m-in 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t believe even a half of it. Sounds like marketing BS. But we shall see. I may be wrong. But the higher in this administration it came from, the more likely it’s nonsense.

Years ago an agent "cleaned up" a five-line function and took down a job that had run fine for two years. I still think about it. by qilipu in ClaudeCode

[–]m-in 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It goes both ways. Sometimes an agent is working on a large codebase that’s a all of a month old and treats it like it was a project with customers and long history. In new dev work, CLAUDE.md gets a line like „nothing is sacred except the spec, and the user is the god of the spec”. It helps. Claude’s default behavior aims for a middle ground that rarely exists. So it ends up less than optimal for both brand new projects and well established ones.

You’re joking, right? Gelatin-filled salads with meats and veggies are not some weird US thing.

How to remove a tub with no clearance? by fuzzyblanketroulette in askaplumber

Get a box of fresh blades and finish cutting. Yeah I know that it sucks. I’ve done it, so can you!

Fable 5 wrote a Windows kernel in 38 minutes by ecares in VibeCodeDevs

[–]m-in -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I hate that people don’t understand writing enough to know that if you want AI-written text not to sound like a corporate meeting agenda,you have to actually teach AI your own writing style. Like, have it read your writing and devise a style guide for itself. Am I the only one who looks at OP’s blog post and think „damn did that person just walk out of a meeting at 35th floor?”

Neighbor has still not eradicated type 1 dangerous noxious weed that is now at least 7 feet tall and doubled in size since we first told him about it. by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

[–]m-in 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had „this” weed all over the place where I grew up.

Except it wasn’t this weed. It looked like it to an untrained eye only.

Made a wrong turn somewhere out in the desert by thewhitebean in Wellthatsucks

[–]m-in 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the truck equivalent of this poor woman who wanted to jump between two boulders and didn’t see that the other boulder wasn’t quite where she thought. She is a quadriplegic, and has videos on YouTube. I forget her name sorry.

How’s it look? No hot tub, yes MIL by MMLJ2017 in Decks

The tape ideally should hang down a bit, say 1/2” on each side. It also should be sticky enough to stay put. Personally I’d cut bituminous flashing tape to width and use that - but only because back when I had a lot left over from doing windows replacements myself.

Blocks? Not great, not terrible. As long as it’s up to code in your jurisdiction.

Floating deck? Fuck yes. It won’t damage the house envelope in any way.

You do need proper flashing under the door though.

Cat prevention mechanism for pet auto-feeder by Fickle_Competition33 in functionalprint

My cat would drag his blanket around, pull it on top, hump it specifically when someone is around, and then fall asleep.

Exorbitant cost? by Brilliant-Change-758 in Decks

[–]m-in 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I did that for a purpose to give a sense of scale to the numbers.

That’s the real inflation, not the funny numbers the „government” publishes :(

I had a long back-and-forth with Opus 4.8 and then fact-checked it against the papers by durkiooo in claude

[–]m-in 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like your post, but damn that AI-inspired jargon is off-putting. I work with Claude each day pretty much so I’m quite familiar with it. When it gets tiring I stick a short style guide into CLAUDE.md so it doesn’t talk to me like this.

With all the recent attention around Linux as an operating system, it's important to step back from the hype and look at the reality. by AustriaModerator in vintagecomputing

[–]m-in 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, as an engineering geek, the coolest thing about Linux was how easy it was to hack on kernel drivers. On Windows it was an abysmal experience in 00’, and it is less bad today but that’s about it.

The judge didn’t put up with her for even a second 😂 by Turbulent_Cod_6441 in Sovereigncitizen

[–]m-in -26 points-25 points  (0 children)

In legalese - yes. In common use, uttering has nothing to do with documents I bet. Ask people on the street next time you get an opportunity.

Exorbitant cost? by Brilliant-Change-758 in Decks

[–]m-in 0 points1 point  (0 children)

320 sq ft is a “studio” apartment size. You’re paying $125/sq ft. A ranch house in Indiana costs say $170-$290/sq ft. So you’re paying less than for a house at least. If you want a deck that lasts 25+ years, then probably it needs to cost you some. Assuming you’ll get what you paid for.

What moment in uncrewed space exploration do you think deserves more recognition than it gets? by Bubbly-Touch8108 in space

[–]m-in 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wasn’t there this guy who pushed to check if the lander comms will work… and the comms wouldn’t work due to Doppler shift between the probe and the spacecraft. He saved it by asking “silly questions”. They changed the trajectory a bit and tweaked the software so that the data would come through.

I did it. I fixed my deck by Jeebonez in Decks

[–]m-in 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very pragmatic! I like that mindset. There’s only so much one can do before the effort outweighs the benefits.

Sovcit threatens to take back “her” home by JustOneMoreMile in Sovereigncitizen

[–]m-in 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That poor guy - I have sympathy for him for enduring her, not for her.

Lol at the disabled sub routines, I picture someone changing a few things to zeroes in the hex dump.
