Anyone could build a search engine too, and many did, but none could dethrone Google in the end.

This is radically different.

This is the Zerg rush era.

VibeOS? It's been done! It's hilarious: https://youtu.be/7NfyZhV1dKM?is=Y8LwTbY_stLPilqR

The description of vibeOS in that video is half way between what I thought I was replying to and what I suggested.

Doing it in a way that isn't described as "hilarious" is probably also possible in the time since that video came out. Doing it in a way which isn't described as "a security nightmare" or "liable to lose all your data", probably not yet. Not as vibe-coding, at least.

I mean for sure, this isn't an OS that _stores data_. It'll pull up any data you ask for, though!

I wanted to set up a Cloudflare static page and all the tooling is completely designed around Github. If you want any other service, you have to roll it yourself.

Cloudflare has official support for Cursor Origin. I migrated all of my repos from GitHub to Cursor Origin and am still able to easily use Cloudflare Workers and Pages with all of its features, including preview builds from PRs in Origin.

The official Cloudflare CLI can ship static site content with one command: "wrangler pages deploy"

Easy enough to run from another CI or automated system.

Interesting! I should investigate that. I was following their docs and GitHub was 100% the happy path, and I was actually hoping to avoid it (downtime woes).

Yeah, the GitHub integration is definitely "click button, sign in to GitHub, automation sets everything up" which is simple and hands-off.

But, the wrangler CLI isn't that much of a step up. Biggest items are installing the CLI and having the CloudFlare API token available in a secure manner.

Does it? I am pretty sure the entire Carbon stack is retired now.

Yeah I think you are right, I should say that some of that code was ported and still survives today in 26 uses some of the same APIs and naming, but isn’t necessarily the same code from classic Mac OS. One example is RegisterEventHotKey.

RegisterEventHotKey didn't actually exist in OS 9. It was added in CarbonLib only.

Agner Fog is also discussing CPU architecture, not high-level language. The whole point is that the optimizer _already_ takes knows these things and rewrites your code automatically. If you write a zero-to-100 loop in C, that doesn’t mean the assembly will literally show a value going from zero to 100; it may unroll, or reverse the loop order, or any weird combination of things that the optimizer has decided will be equivalent and fast.

Optimizers eat stuff like this up. It'll restructure your loop however it wants.

You should always check the compiled assembly with Compiler Explorer because compilers sometimes avoid certain optimizations for convoluted reasons, which are hard to predict.

It's just spacing. X-- > 0 and X --> 0 are the same thing in C.

Do LLMs really care?

"They" has been a gender-neutral singular or plural pronoun for hundreds of years.

Maybe, but default masculine was way more common. That was still taught as proper usage in the 80s here in the US. He/she was its most common replacement until fairly recently.

"They" is so much easier.

I always felt like saying if "he or she" took too much time and was unnecessary.

"They" will replace Him and Her! It might even be you! (If I ever refer to you in 3rd person)

I agree that it's easier. Eventually "they" will probably replace "him/her." Language drift takes time, though, which was my original point.

A lot of people don't accept it as such, including myself

Its use in this function predates you and the culture wars you may be involved into.

It has nothing to do with culture wars, I'm just a stickler for grammatical precision and not overloading the meanings of words.

No, I'm afraid you really are stuck in a culture war. As the above poster said, "they" truly has been a gender-neutral singular or plural pronoun for hundreds of years.

For example, someone two blocks down the street is doing something weird. "What are they doing?" is a perfectly grammatically normal reaction to seeing this.

No it hasn't, it still isn't even accepted in most of Academia.

"You might be not interested in the war, but the war is interested in you."

No kidding! About twelve years ago, I outfitted a house with LED bulbs for about $5 a pop (a bargain at the time!) and those lasted for six years, until I moved. In the new house, LEDs were all less expensive but now they also fail quickly. I'd HAPPILY pay $5 for eternal bulbs again.
