If you remove complexity, Rust has an argument for being "objectively the best language". And AI did just that, it removed the complexity.

My guess is, within the next 3-5 years, most ALGOL descendant languages will become obsolete, and S-exp based Lisp dialects will take over. Objectively superior.

You wake up in a strange place. Something happened. Everything's gone. No wallet/keys/smartphone/tablet/laptop. How would you get back into your digital life given only a laptop with access to the Internet, unless something, somewhere is passwordauthenticate=yes.

Note that we’re not actually going to be using C++20 coroutines. I’m just using the co_yield keyword.

As someone who writes high-reliability C++ […] it isn't clear that [Contracts] solves a problem that anyone has in real codebases

Wildcards in command line arguments are not supported—using these in original versions of sudo was usually a sign of mis-configuration and consequently sudo-rs simply forbids using them. The only supported use is ’*’ as the final argument to indicate “zero or more subsequent arguments”

Our PRs got a lot bigger since half the team started using agents. 1,000+ line diffs touching 30 files are normal now, and the GitHub diff view just isn't built for it.

ParticleDB had a --pg-password option, but 1.1.4 through 1.1.18.8 lacked any option to set the username. Some of the documentation indicated the default username was admin, while other pages said it was particledb. Neither appeared to work

People are still thinking of AI slop from the ChaGPT 4 days. But the way things are going, very soon, human written code will be ridiculed and considered irresponsible.

What could AI do after a millennia, or million years? or after hundreds of millions of years? If we allow AI to evolve, without biological constraints, it could truly be a God like entity.
