when you call malloc(100 MB), the kernel does not give you 100 MB of RAM it gives you a promise physical pages are allocated as you touch them this is why processes can use more virtual memory than physical RAM, and why free() doesn't always return memory to the OS

Bricked MSI installers on my main windows install the other night. Tried multiple things to try repair it but looked like I needed to reinstall windows again. Took this as a sign to switch to Linux. So far everything is working as expected. No I didn't choose omarchy.

Why is this me?
Greenfield means the manager gets to say "same stack" and the engineer gets to ignore it.

I'm full stack and hate writing both SQL and CSS.

I'm always going to be against AI for coding (ironic as I'm quite lazy) but if it ever gets to the point I could let it do a data migration on a database then I'd let it go wild. However, the last time I attempted that it trashed a live database.

I slag off vibe coding quite often. Decided to give it a try again last night building a simple section of an app in Kotlin. Couldn't get it to build at all. I'm happy to be left behind if this becomes standard practice and will just become a hacker as that will be easier.

True story
Programming is understanding. If you don't understand what you are doing, you are not programming. You are generating text.

If you follow advice like this then you're a fucking idiot and have too much money to burn.
Here’s your monthly reminder that you shouldn’t be prompting coding agents anymore. You should be designing loops that prompt your agents.

Just had a moment with a Logitech G502 mouse where it was stuttering and very slow to respond. Had to install the memory manager and revert it to get it to reset itself. Thought I was going to have to finish my work shift using vim for the rest of the day.

So many people posting about the copilot pricing changes. Like you couldn't see that was going to happen? It's a company trying to make money, not really help you.

Can we go back to the "affordable RAM" era instead ?

I always find the posts about ORMs Vs pure SQL completely pointless. Every ORM I have ever used gives you a function to write pure SQL if you cant figure out how to do it.
