I thought we were finally agreeing fully! My understanding of the question is “what is the difference between a third (of a pizza, say) and a half?”

1/2 - 1/3 = 1/6
1/2 = 1/3 + 1/6
a half is one sixth more than a third.

btw, I fixed my Kagi screenshot since I’d missed a word from the question (reading comprehension’s clearly not my strong point today)

Ah, you’re right - I misunderstood jbrain’s point to just be about the “relative to the original” understanding. Guess I’m no smarter than Google’s AI.

Yes, and the Google AI response is correct (and quite clear) in what it says. edit: Thanks Batman. I mean that Google’s understanding of the question is logical (although still the maths is wrong as you say (now I’ve re-read you)) and its answer explained the angle it was answering from.

However, I think the reasonable assumption for the intention behind the question is relative to a whole. I had third of a pizza, and now I have an extra sixth of a pizza. It’s subtle, but that’s the kind of thing AI falls down on.

If programming.dev is down, it’s helpful to be able to see @meta@programming.dev from other instances and check for planned downtime, etc.

Google’s AI seems dumber than the rest, for example here’s Kagi answering the same (using Claude):

edit: typoed question originally

Perhaps Google’s tried to make it run too cheaply - Kagi’s one doesn’t run unless you ask for it, and as a paid product it’ll have different priorities.

While I don’t disagree, this article is pretty bad and unconvincing. Is it a draft or something dashed out to collect referral fees?

I like that they used Microsoft Office WordArt for the image.

I think there’s a lot of people who would be happy with a Chromebook in computer form, and those are also the market for Linux.

It shows the top line, so you just read top to bottom (and can scroll if you want).

You can set it to show what you want; if I’m doing TDD I’ll set it to show the test output, and then it’ll show the warnings beneath it.

You can switch between the views with a key (T for tests (or N for nextest), C for clippy, etc

But yes, it’s pretty similar to using watch.

My hope is that something like Servo gets good enough to be included, especially if it’s tree-shakable so you can only include a subset of the codebase. I don’t know if that’s a goal for either projects, but it would be cool - the default webviews can be quite lacking so currently you need to use a restricted set of HTML/CSS/JS to guarantee compatibility.

My (ISO) keyboards do, under the Esc key. I guess you’re in North America (or Australia) and have an ANSI layout.

100% the second one. It’s the idiomatic way to do this in Rust, and it leaves you with an immutable object.

I personally like to move the short declarations together (i.e. body down with language_id (or both at the top)) but that’s a minor quibble.

Token-based string distances looks like exactly what I need for my current side project - I’m using Levenshtein but I should be comparing based on words, not characters.

I just need to figure out which (if any) of these does what I need.

Edit: looks like the Python version has that information: https://github.com/life4/textdistance?tab=readme-ov-file#algorithms

How did you find Leptos to work with? I never got further than the tutorial so I have yet to form a real opinion on it.

It’s a subtle difference between that and path::exists().

• path::exists() == false might just mean you can’t use it (if path::exists() cannot access a file due to e.g. permissions, it’ll return false)
• fs::exists() == Ok(false) means it’s definitely not there (permissions error will cause an Err to be returned)

Bad wording on my part, I wasn’t disagreeing. My file server has a /files directory because it saves me a few key strokes and because I can.

Is Gobo case-insensitive by default? Typing those seems annoying.

That’s an old image, though - Windows has a C:\Users\youruser setup like /home/youruser for a while now.

I find the %APPDATA% thing way less convenient than ~/.config and I’m quite happy when programs have the “bug” that they still use ~/.config on Windows.

I like that idea of using the different fonts for e.g. Copilot suggestions - reminds me of reading Asterix comics as a kid when they’d use gothic black for the Goth’s speech, etc.
