>The SOTA isn't capable of using a code diff as a jumping off point.

The low quality of HN comments has been blowing my mind.

I have quite literally been doing what you describe every working day for the last 6+ months.


>the slippery slope fallacy

I see the slippery slope fallacy-fallacy more than the base fallacy.


Swift 6 is only painful if you wrote a ton of terrible Swift 5, and even then Swift 5 has had modes where you could gracefully adopt the Swift 6 safety mechanisms for a long time (years?)

~130k LoC Swift app was converted from 5 -> 6 for us in about 3 days.


Yes and no, our app is considerably larger than 130k LoC. While we’ve migrated some modules there are some parts that do a lot of multithreaded work that we probably will never migrate because they’d need to essentially be rewritten and the tradeoff isn’t really worth it for us.


It's also painful if you wrote good Swift 5 code but now suddenly you need to closely follow Apple's progress on porting their own frameworks, filling your code base with #if and control flow just to make the compiler happy.


We need to apply sanctions, and end all intelligence sharing with the UK until they stop this nonsense.


How do you expect to spy on US citizens if you don't get the five eyes to help out?


Or we need to do a tiny bit more research before jumping to conclusions.

UK law in this regard is far from perfect but this thread is mainly uninformed knee-jerking.


I think Trump has guaranteed that European countries have ended all real intelligence sharing pretty much unilaterally.


HN hasn't been a good place for technical discussion in at least 5-6 years, maybe longer.

X is much better for this kind of stuff these days (just follow the right people and stick to the following tab)


X? But then you have to follow people, and inherently that backs you into a syncopation bubble. I value HN for the diversity of well considered opinions and ideas… but sadly that is dying.


Not in most of the US, but the ones in Alaska can mummify a water buffalo in under 5 minutes.

Running joke is that the mosquito is "Alaska's state bird"


There are no native water buffalo in Alaska. Are you perhaps thinking of American bison?


> There are no native water buffalo in Alaska.

yea, that just shows you how vicious those mosquitos are!


Only 1500 miles? Obviously they didn't measure it precisely.


Nothing MB has is anywhere close to FXD 13.2.x

So if the SAE standards don't reflect that, they are poor standards


Today I saw a diesel truck roll coal on anti-tesla protestors.

We've gone full circle.


I'm curious if that's plausibly an act of criminal assault.


It would be if anyone cared to do anything about it. It's not even legal to modify trucks to fart out black smoke like that to begin with but it's never stopped them from doing it. Cops do not care about that issue.


There's no laws any more


>I'm not sure why you want 4k resolution with a 14 inch screen

You do realize we had 1440p phones in 2015-2016 right?

HiDPI is not new, and it's clarity amazing. Stop buying huge low res screens for ripoff prices in 2025


You do realize your battery is dying faster right?

Laptops have had 120hz screens since 2011. Stop limiting yourself to 60hz in 2025

(See how that sounds?)
