  21. <description>&#x3C;html&#x3E;&#x3C;body&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;Got some jicama with the leaves still on it from Lola&#x27;s, and... yeah, that&#x27;s the way I&#x27;m buying jicama in the future. Love that I&#x27;m being exposed to not just new produce, but better versions of existing produce.&#x3C;/p&#x3E;
  22.  
  23. &#x3C;p&#x3E;And now I need to learn Spanish to communicate with the cashiers.

Their site doesn&#x27;t work with Firefox, they list a product that may or may not be the one that I want, even the online version doesn&#x27;t have it in stock...

  48. <title>An (almost) catastrophic OpenZFS bug and the humans that made it (and Rust is here too)</title>
  49. <link>https://www.flutterby.com/archives/comments/34213.html</link>
  50. <description>&#x3C;html&#x3E;&#x3C;body&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;Okay, now I&#x27;m beginning to see some of the idioms that make Rust really cool: &#x3C;a href=&#x22;https://despairlabs.com/blog/posts/2025-07-10-an-openzfs-bug-and-the-humans-that-made-it/&#x22;&#x3E;An (almost) catastrophic OpenZFS bug and the humans that made it (and Rust is here too)&#x3C;/a&#x3E;.&#x3C;/p&#x3E;
  51.  
  52. &#x3C;p&#x3E;In particular, the function that had the bug had 3 different sizes, a &#x22;logical&#x22; (user visible) size, a &#x22;physical&#x22; size (the size for the logical data after compression or other transforms) and the &#x22;allocated&#x22; size (physical plus metadata, checksums, etc), and got them confused.&#x3C;/p&#x3E;
  53.  
  54. &#x3C;p&#x3E;The solution in Rust is to declare your types like &#x3C;code&#x3E;struct PhysicalSize(u64);&#x3C;/code&#x3E; and use the &#x3C;code&#x3E;.0&#x3C;/code&#x3E; from them when you need the actual number, and... this is a really cool language feature and I need to write more Rust.
  55. &#x3C;/p&#x3E;

Way to convince me that I should roll over and leave Petaluma to the &#x22;real Petalumans&#x22;, guys.&#x3C;/p&#x3E;

  116.  
  117. &#x3C;p&#x3E;When developers are allowed to use AI tools, they take 19% longer to complete issues&#x26;#8212;a significant slowdown that goes against developer beliefs and expert forecasts. This gap between perception and reality is striking: developers expected AI to speed them up by 24%, and even after experiencing the slowdown, they still believed AI had sped them up by 20%.&#x3C;/p&#x3E;

  146. <description>&#x3C;html&#x3E;&#x3C;body&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;The experiments on my blog with providing automatic Wayback Machine links have me thinking about archives and ways to manage resources. Because we can&#x27;t continue to trust the cloud and centralization to the Internet Archive folks, and we need to be building knowledge structures that augment our recall and access outside of the SEO/AI slop that&#x27;s flooding search engines.

  175. &#x3C;blockquote&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;I&#x27;m witnessing professionals spending hours to engineer prompts for Copilot to do basic things like find a line in a file that has a string in it, or figure out who committed most frequently to a sub-path in a repository, or generate boiler plate code for classes.. None of these things require #AI. `grep`, `git log..`, and editor snippets have existed for a long time. They are quick. They are EXACT. They are FREE. They do not boil the oceans. They do not displace the workforce. They are more efficient and productive.&#x3C;/p&#x3E;
  176.  
  177. &#x3C;p&#x3E;Learn the tools of your trade. If all you&#x27;re doing is using AI, that means AI can and will replace you.&#x3C;/p&#x3E;

  183. <title>New Feature</title>
  184. <link>https://www.flutterby.com/archives/comments/34202.html</link>
  185. <description>&#x3C;html&#x3E;&#x3C;body&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;At the request of a reader, I&#x27;ve added a new feature. On the upper right of Flutterby pages, there&#x27;s now an &#x22;Add Wayback Links&#x22; checkbox. If you check it, you&#x27;ll get a little Internet Archive icon that&#x27;s a link at the end of external links, to take you to the Wayback Machine for that link. It sets a little cookie (hopefully). Might be some wonkiness on it remembering the state and rendering from the state.&#x3C;/p&#x3E;
  186.  
  187. &#x3C;p&#x3E;Additional ideas coming, I should probably try to get a notion of when the entry happened into the link, maybe I&#x27;ll turn it on automagically for older links...&#x3C;/p&#x3E;
