I think it's like CMS and page builders enabling people to build their own websites without html and server knowledge. They're not making web developers disappear, instead there are more web developers now because those some of those people would eventually outgrow their page builders and need to hire web developers.

This is the optimistic view that I see around. I go back and forth. I've had some work that was the result of "vibe coders" hitting a wall with its capabilities.

Rethink DNS on fdroid is great. Way better than the official wireguard android app: https://github.com/celzero/rethink-app

"vibe merging"

I don't notice any major issue yet, except for that freezing on wayland which seems to be fixed already.

It's great that Zed adding this very useful feature, but isn't this effectively cannibalize their own AI subscription plans? Why pay zed $20 when you already pay for claude code and can use it in the assistant panel? You might still want the edit prediction feature, but then why pay zed $20 when you can pay $10 github copilot and can use it to power zed's edit prediction feature?

It’s also great that they’re willing to risk that, in the name of a potentially better user experience. That’s what gets them to win in the long run, not building another walled garden.

Could be cheaper, maybe?

I have been using zed a fair bit with clause api and the 50 free prompts a month that zed provide on the free plan works out to roughly $8 for an equivalent amount of code using the claude api.

But no idea how it compares to the subscription plan.

No need to invade when all China have to do is to help the opposition party in Taiwan win: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cn8185e19l4o

This is the strategy for decades but it’s failed to produce results

The demographic situation in Taiwan is collapsing. Taiwan is basically fully dependent on trade with China and so on. The Chinese are masters of long term strategy and patience and would rather use deception than a sword if possible.

On Gnome user interface, the Nokia Sans Wide is off-centered. Especially visible in buttons and list. I wonder if there is a way to adjust it.

Oh, now I can't unsee it :D

I wonder if it's something in the font that's deliberate, or if there is a bug somewhere.

Give Lato a try. I've been using it as the default UI font / sans-serif in Xfce for years and it worked well for me.

There is: use a FontForge script to modify the font.

Well, there is https://www.registry.google/

And MS is increasingly dropping the .com: https://cloud.microsoft/

Old browsers without crypto support would fall back to pure js sha256 implementation, which I imagine would be slow on an old iPad.

> In retrospect implementing the proof of work challenge may have been a mistake and it's likely to be supplanted by things like Proof of React or other methods that have yet to be developed.

> ... a challenge method that requires the client to do a single round of SHA-256 hashing deeply nested into a Preact hook in order to prove that the client is running JavaScript.

Why a single round? Doing the whole proof of work challenge inside the proof of react would be even more effective, right?

It wouldn't be any more effective at determining that javascript is executing, and it would use a lot more resources on the client

Can someone explain how this prove that JS is executing? Why couldn't someone simply fake the JS bit and execute the SHA round in their own code?

Yes, but this requires work on the part of the bad guys. As far as I can tell nothing in anubis is exactly hard to get around. The point isn't to be hard to get around. The point is to be annoying enough for people to largely not bother.
