Wouldn’t this like kill performance? I love this error handling in Go, but in JS you’re adding a bunch of if statements in the happy path and I don’t know if the JS engines are optimised to do this. Do you have insights on this by chance? Don’t know if I love this style in JS or prefer the Swift way

So you set git.sign-on-push and set signing.behaviour to drop. This way you don’t resign commits while doing operations and only do it when you commit

Even better you can configure jj so it signs commits just before it pushes them to git (and fail the push otherwise). This way you do not need to resign when jj makes it shenanigans

Compiler Options Hardening Guide for C and C++ The Best Practices for OSS Developers working group is dedicated to raising awareness and education of secure code best practices for open source developers.

Teaching my best friend how to use (modern) C as preparation for his university course. It’s super fun and I got to share some good resources like this compiler hardening guide

But even 20-30$ a month is an insane amount of money. That’s 240-360€ a year. That’s literally Ableton Live 12 Standard kind of money and more people spend to finance FOSS projects they rely on.

I drew a comic about self-efficacy and building things. It might also be about AI.

It's too for this post, though.

Here is one of the dumbest things about vibe coding that I don't see a lot of people talking about

Imagine you're an open source maintainer and someone opens up a pull request against your repository that they vibe coded. They may or may not tell you they vibe coded it; it doesn't really matter… 🧡

Base UI An overview of BaseΒ UI, providing information on its history, team, and goals.

are any of lustre's production users interesting in sponsoring some work to produce something like base-ui but for lustre?

this would be beneficial for everyone but particularly for prod users because building this kind of thing takes time away from product development

The spirit of this saying is no AI/LLMs whatsoever where used to generate code/docs/whatever. I would even go sp far and argue that one shouldn’t use AI for the whole process, i.e. as a search engine replacement

Not to forget Thunderbird that gained a lot of funding after introducing a support popup in their app.

Afaik it works well for all the mentioned projects, just don’t overdo it and become nagware lol

For Gnomes case, they have a popup that appears in the desktop shell… triggered by certain conditions? KDE has a support message in their welcome / quickstart after installing KDE plasma

Which ChatGPT death was it where ChatGPT kept saying the conversation triggered a safety mechanism where OpenAI employees are alerted and will intervene, but it was just a hallucinated feature that a responsible company should have?
