Met the awesome @lauriewired yesterday. Couldn't resist to get a photo together.

Had a small chat with Fabian (@LiveOverflow) at DEFCON today.

@kshvbgde quit college early and focus on my skills more? build more real projects than submitting handwritten coding assignments.

@BckyrdBandwidth why limit at one lifetime. Again double it or give it to next person so it's two lifetimes, then four then 8 and so on... until we have free VPN for all atoms in the universe :-)

Opinion :

AI as it is right now should work, given the data it is trained on is switchable. Some people like OOP in their code, some don't!

If you give someone an AI that is biased towards writing OOP, because it's trained more on that data, the generated code will be flagged!

@LubaRaphael That's why you use the browser version only of these electron based apps. So they don't spawn a new headless browser to run every time.

@Vinz_DG @cursor_ai I've stopped using it. AI starts writing shit code after some time, and I realized I'd write code faster than AI, given how much time it takes to debug and fix it's code.

I spent around $100 experimenting with it, but now I'm done!

[Siddharth Mishra @brightprogramer]

@cursor_ai I recently purchased a pro plan. There used to be a progress bar showing how much of 500 requests I've used, but I see you've removed that already.

Now I'm getting emails that payment of $ X amount failed! I'm glad I've disabled auto-payments for these cases!

Giving up on C, gonna try either rust or ziglang. Not because of language, but because of my over expectations about compilers and my style of coding.
Used to think C is freedom because you define your programming style. It is still true until MSVC enters the room
Standards help!

@ankurdubey521 Setup your workspace/workflow so that during gym time everything else is harder to do and going to gym is the among the easier ones.

@mboehme_ A system is only as secure as the assumptions about system holding up.

Software security can only go so far. Proving a system is secure means proving all assumptions (hardware and software) will hold up.

@sama @grok what does he not mean?

Rust style format string in C.

@DotSlashTX can I get some samples if anyone gets one, I'd love to reverse these

[Siddharth Mishra @brightprogramer]

I just am absolutely in love with macros, lately been experimenting a lot with C macros. This is an example of a small JSON parser I wrote that directly reads from a given string without creating any intermediary structures. Image shows JR_.. macros, meaning JSON READ. Next `JR_`

@zack_overflow something tells me its B because of integer overflow

💁‍♂️ Open source tip: Before making your first Pull Request to a project, spend a few minutes browsing through recently merged PRs to see what a good PR looks like for the project. This will save everyone time and unnecessary frustration, most of all you! 🤓👍

@rfleury I do like apple products in this way though. They have small apps that do have some bugs but are snappy.

[Siddharth Mishra @brightprogramer]

@rfleury Every app comes heavily based on browser tech instead of using an existing (slightly harder, but way faster) tech.
