A bit ago a semi-retired guy came back to help with some stuff including debugging serial ports. It was very cool to see him fiddle with the knobs and be like "oh those squiggles look good" "no that doesn't look right&qu

Admin inefficiencies between orgs definitely exist and maybe better interoperability and standards is the solution, but wouldn't there also be less of a problem in the first place if there were fewer different orgs all complicating wor

For what it's worth I know you've worked on FHIR and probably know a lot of details I don't. Actually I'd be interested in talking to you about FHIR. That said! 1) In the big picture isn't the US clearly paying more

there is a fork of zed against ai: https://gram-editor.com/ I am happy about even though I've never tried gram, because if zed goes to shit there will be an alternative, which hopefully pressures zed to stay sane

I agree with you but an alternative view, "Why are gradual static types so great?" https://www.benkuhn.net/gradual/

If you don't want to then fair enough :) that said if your problem is just installation, some of the gleam people realized it can be tricky and made a nice guide for various operating systems and package managers: https://gl

Is your issue something with the runtime itself, or just the difficulty of installing it?

Eh, idk if a totally new internet is either feasible or needed. I also feel like if you're going to invent a new internet from first principles, how are you going to not end up with the current one? (or a shitty version of it) The answ

Probably a lot of comments will bounce off the title to discuss the XY problem in general, and especially stackoverflow. The article does claim to go further than XY though! "Diagnosing the ask" and "When they’re missing the

For sure, I'm doing something very similar, asking an AI to make a boring but working web app using an API I'm working on. The API is the interesting part and the web app is basically just to test it. I do think though if I were t

You're absolutely right (as they say) - https://www.folklore.org/Round_Rects_Are_Everywhere.html I don't think it's just the base rate of rounded corners though, these posts feel like the AI tends to spit out

Nice list of design patterns, but imo a big unmentioned one is a grid of rounded rects https://correctarity.com/roundedrects (maybe what this post calls "Icon-topped feature card grid." ...that might be the offici

Ah makes sense, personally I wouldn't consider reserved but unused words as keywords in the sense that you don't need to know them to read the language (even though they're keywords in some other technical sense). I was curio

Idk, while system architecture diagrams look cool and feel informative, I generally don't feel like they actually help you get started working somewhere on a project. Mistake #3 in this article, putting too much in, is part of this. So
