That link is paywalled.

This might be a better one.

This post attempts a formal refutation.

I don't think this guy's blog tries to sell me on a subscription enough. Maybe he could add even more pop-ups or inline pleas for funding. I'm sure he's got a newsletter he's desperate to monetize.

> Rewrite this Python code to use match/case instead of if/elif/else chains

Is this a real example of something people use AI to do? If so, I don't understand why that's difficult, because prompting the AI to do stuff with ASTs etc. seems a bit over the top.

Why?

Are people actually using AI to do programmatic refactors over million line codebases directly? That is far more insane.

Using AI to write ruff rules or clang-tidy rules with fixes is literally the same thing and obviously best practice over running AI in a pre-commit hook to do those checks and refactors...

Same. I had VMS running on an AS200 next to a beautiful X terminal, just like the computer lab at school. But my dad wasn't sitting next to me, hunting and pecking away at his old C.Itoh terminal. None of the usual suspects were across the table, locked into their favorite MUDD. And so on. I miss them all so much.

Whenever the nostalgia kicks in hard, I fire up OpenVMS 7.2 on the virtual 11/780 in my cheap Motorola phone, then SSH in.

I love OpenSimH and Termux.

Cluster that sucker. I got a pair of MicroVAX 3900s in a VMScluster, actually using the same disk image, just like they'd use the same physical disk in the old days. ALLOCLASS, bb.

Somewhere, the OpenSimH docs say it'll corrupt the image, so ymmv.

Comedy is dead. I can't believe so many folks didn't clock this post.

(Also, the word is "cue", as in "signal". English sucks.)

Don't concurrency. forget about

Every time I click in the window, the menu disappears. I tried both Firefox and Chrome.

Thanks for that report! It is hopefully fixed now.

> Tree-sitter that just works

Hallelujah and thank you, sweet little baby Jesus. Now I can get rid of this bullshit from my dotfiles:

    rm -rf ~/.emacs.d/tree-sitter
    mkdir -p ~/.emacs.d/tree-sitter
    set _plat = windows
    if ( `uname` == Linux ) set _plat = linux
    if ( `uname` == Darwin ) set _plat = apple
    set _arch = x86
    if ( `arch` == arm64) set _arch = aarch64
    gh release -R emacs-tree-sitter/tree-sitter-langs download -p "*${_arch}*${_plat}*"
    tar -C ~/.emacs.d/tree-sitter --transform 's/^\(.*\.\(so\|dylib\|dll\)\)/libtree-sitter-\1/' -xzf tree-sitter-grammars*.tar.gz
    rm tree-sitter-grammars*.tar.gz

That's csh, BTW, just like the Founding Fathers intended.
