This is kind cool. Closer than the Reflex thing to what I think would be cool. I wonder if anybody has made any kind of Python/Django system that lets you just write the front-end stuff in React but handles all the state synchronizat

The pull out fridge doesn't even seem that great, I just think of shit sliding off the back or you push them in and then you push everything off the front.

I do, yes. It'd also be nice to know things like state of charge/how much gas I got, whats the car temperature now - tell me when it reaches X, look at my car's cameras. There are plenty of compelling use-cases.

"Authorized parts" and "Authorized repair centers only" would be allow them to extract massive profits while providing no consumer benefit. That then incentivizes them to create even more fragile, unreliable vehicles.

There is no simple and secure technical reason car makers can't do this, they just want to fight it because they make tons of money off making fragile cars, charging exorbitant fees at their dealers service department and for parts, an

Because people want things like remote start, remote climate control, etc. that they can control from phone apps.

They couldn't care less about being the ones developing games, but they DO care very much about being the ones driving productivity apps which opens a whole corporate world for them to control.

It sounds crass, but this really would be the make-or-break use-case just like it was for the VHS and DVD formats.

But they're very closely related. A complex item is going to have a more complex manufacturing process than a simple item. Have you ever seen how big an aircraft factory is?

Yeah he had funny delivery but the COVID conspiracy shit just made me think "is this guy actually saying anything useful or is he just saying it in a funny way?" Was pretty clear it was just the latter.

Yeah there are people who are talking about blah blah blah cloud complexity and how on-prem is some panacea. What they're really getting at is "why go through all this trouble to setup autoscaling groups and load balancers when I

Chef and Puppet are configuration management systems, not really Infrastructure as Code.

I love glorifying doing things the hard way as much as the next guy, but the fact is dependencies are a way of life. We build on the shoulders of giants. We pull in other peoples code because we don't want to duplicate work, ours is l

I don't think using GitHub is a prerequisite for using Copilot but I could be wrong.

But it has to use your code for inferencing, doesn't it? So it is sending it to someone. I see this being a blocker at a lot of places. I know in my workplace the infosec people are apoplectic about it and we supposedly have a '

Cars are pretty much the defacto status item in the US, so it makes sense for people to want to "fake it til they make it."

geeksforgeeks.org is really dark pattern-y, and has been extremely high ranking for python related questions that seemed to come out of nowhere.

Every few years I go through the exercise of thinking "Oh <some IDE> has some cool features, maybe I'll try using it" and that ends quickly when I get annoyed by the clutter and lack of efficiency in operations and go b

Out of curiosity what did you use to write the graphical part of this game?

Every programming language had its own version of jars, dependency management, etc. that you then need to reproduce everywhere you want those things to run. Containers mostly abstract that away - you just have a container image filled with

You can see a trail of half-baked and forgotten features, like Runbooks.

That seems like pretty much the perfect way to go about things. Kudos on that work!
