If you take your idea and add some web ui to manage the creation of apps and connect the pieces, I believe that there's great potential! A couple years back I had a similar idea, but with a postgres+deno, and using .md files as the spe

I remember having this issue back in 2014... maybe the tech is not there yet.

If those demands made any sense they would be enforced by the languages themselves. It's mostly a way of claiming to be productive by renaming constants and moving code around.

Last month I worked on some new features (like unlocking units) and some fixes to my browser autobattler https://lfarroco.itch.io/mana-battle . I've been working on adding an async PVP mode to it (using Supabase db

There are some quantum effects in the brain (for some people, that's a possible source of consciousness). We can simulate quantum effects, but here comes the tricky part: even if our simulation matches the probability, say 70/30 o

Even worse, as we are part of the universe, we would need to simulate ourselves and the very simulation that we are creating. You would also need to replicate the simulation of the simulation, leading to an eternal loop that would demand in

The idea of my argument is that I notice that people project some "ethereal" properties over computations that happen in the... computer. Probably because electricity is involved, making things show up as "magic" from ou

You can replicate all calculations done by LLMs with pen and paper. It would take ages to calculate anything, but it's possible. I don't think that pen and paper will ever "think", regardless of how complex the calculati

well, promises' computations start as soon as they are created, so they are not composable. and there' no cancellation/resource control as well. so I guess that the criticism is valid

The model that google is using to handle requests in their search page is probably dumber than the other ones for cost savings. Not sure if this would be a smart move, as search with ads is their flagship product. It would be better having

that might be possible by asking it to create an 3d model with animations (based on a template) and then capture the sprites. but then again, not sure if building it would be worthwhile because 1) openai might add that as a native product (

It's the kind of commit that you get from someone that wants to look productive but is just renaming variables in their IDE.

I don't know why people take UB seriously. He never provided proof of any work experience - he claims to have worked for just a single company that... never shipped any code into production. Even his code examples on GitHub are just sn

My headcanon is that Pokemon Go is a bad game on purpose. Intelligence agencies get the geolocation data (that has been proved already) and Nintendo gets the rights to publish regular games - this way they are not competing directly with th

This is part of a Brazilian test - those are common for enrolling in free higher education or working in public positions. IMO one of the most vile ways of wasting the young generation's potential, as you need to be really smart to pas

that's the source of some cheesy anime clichés like having every character react and say something while an arrow is still mid-flight - in a manga it makes sense but when animating it makes it feel slow (looking at you Saint Seya)

the initial idea was a general-purpose language, but obviously the scope for that would be too big. I think that having "natural language frameworks" for some application types can work: REST APIs, CLI apps, React components... .
