Funny timing. I’ve been building an LSP for a niche DSL I use at work. I’ve been using tree-sitter to build out the AST of sorts for the LSP functions, but just yesterday it dawned on me that the syntax highlighting my LSP does is all just TS queries and encoding them properly for the protocol. So I was looking into if that can be done in the vscode extension that provides the LSP hookup instead. Kinda nice that the same tree-sitter grammar can be used across the extension and LSP, even tho they’re in different languages.

I wonder what happens if you open the repo in VSCode Online through GitHub?

When I saw the trailer in my YouTube feed I immediately thought it was an ad for those trash mobile games. Watching it didn’t really change my opinion either. I don’t actually want that to come across in a disparaging way - but it was just the vibes it gave off.


I’d save a lot of time from not choosing to smugly telling the AI how wrong it was just for my own reassurances that at least for now I’m still more useful than it is.


“Here’s the thing” “The best part?”


"It's not just X, it's Y"

I find it really hard to read articles that use AI slop aphorisms. Please use your own words, it matters.


What if I no good in English?

Jokes aside, my English is passable and I'm fine with it when writing comments but I'm very aware that some of it doesn't sound native due to me, well, not being native speaker.

I use AI to make it sound more fluent when writing for my blog.


As long as your bullet points+prompt are shorter than the output, couldn't you post that instead? The only time I think an LLM might be ethically acceptable for something a human has to read is if you ask it to make it shorter.


I write the full article in my Czenglish (English influenced by Czech sentence structure). Then I let it rewrite it in proper English.

So it's me doing the writing and GPT making it sound more English.


> What if I no good in English?

It would still sound more human coming from you.


Yeah it’s hard to keep interest when there’s no voice, just the same AI feel that you see everywhere else.


Well, actually, what if my own words make me come across as a raging pedantic asshole, you feckless moron!? I don't actually think you're a feckless moron, but sometimes I'll get emotional about this or that, and run my words through an LLM to reword it so that "it's not assholey, it's nice". I may know better than to use the phrase "well actually" seriously these days, but when the point is effective communication, yeah I don't want my readers to be put off by AI-isms, but I also don't want them to get put off by my words being assholey or condescending or too snarky or smug or any number of things that detract from my point. And fwiw, I didn't run this comment through an LLM.


Is GitHub deployed using GitHub Actions?


I was talking with some GH sales/marketing engineers last month and they said it deploys with actions, but they have a custom deploy queue


It is a fun bootstrapping problem. How do you firewall enough dedicated resources to stand up your infrastructure if you dogfood your own product. Probably insidiously easy to have a dependency on the production service.


An Azure outage took out Office365 the day before CrowdStrike happened. I would not trust Microsoft to get this balance right.


LaurieWired is an awesome follow on YouTube!


Her ARM assembly tutorial series is really excellent


Terminals are the next bubble to burst


I’m pretty sure I had an xterm in the 90s that had a gl-accelerated burst for screen clear.


The CLIpocalypse is coming!


Fares end up being a trade off between service area and ridership. Eliminating fares tends to mean cuts to service for the same budget, so your service area would drop. Alternatively, having fares will allow for some more service, to cover more area but some people might not ride. Becomes dependent then on the goals of the transit system.


This went away years ago


And one reason it went away was because "fareless square" became a synonym for rather extreme levels of drug abuse.
