Pretty cool video. I would love to know more about the internal design of the as400 platform and how people thought and designed user interfaces. I can't shake the feeling that these interfaces are so lean they're satisfying. Also

Isn't that why we created models and graphs before ? Maybe now the uml to source roundtrip can be solved with LLMs. Back in 2010s that's where it was stuck. Note: I wonder how many people reified their codebase as logical facts to

I'm a keyboard based UI lover, but I wonder if the supportive crowd is, and will ever, be too small. Even crude AS400 days keyboard UIs were beyond nice. But then if people want to try and replicate emacs keymaps or vi command composit

Even as a naive teen, I always found the mechanical forces required to clamp cpu heatsinks and fans brutally high considering the small ceramic package underneath.

It would strange if just when a lot of articles mention computing / social networks are detrimental, governments start passing laws to forbid platforms and/or phones for kids, and now price gouging flares up everywhere, this would

last year i mis-bought a ssd on amazon (wrong size or model i can't recall) so I asked for a return, surprisingly amazon wanted to save on transport that they offered to pay me to keep it (i don't want to spread stupid claim but m

The "language model" aspect shows IMO, at least for someone who grew up with the material of 90s and 2000s where we describe things more in mechanical, engineering terms. When gpt4 landed it was somehow amazing to see the output,

I'd extend the advice with "put yourself into a reading friendly context" so you wonder less and dive in more easily.

I've seen a subtler variant of that. Since 2025 winter model improvements, low quality developers can now commit somehow decent stuff more regularly, but as before, they still don't own the solution space independently. LLM output

It seems there are many projects trying to find idioms and languages to describe distributed concurrent logic without programming the data transport and synchronization.

It's a great MOOC. Learned a lot how culture influence ideas there.

In the early 80s, computers also came with technical informations. Even consumers oriented things like digital typewriters had programming and electronics booklets in the box. That didn't last :)

It would be worth writing examples of the resource ownership model (especially network wise), this is the rare feature here it seems. ps: were you looking at efforts such as clojure electric ( https://github.com/hyperfiddle&#

When NLP is the interface the natural reflex is to cut the visual interface.

> "The choice of Haskell has also led to a high quality and low volume of contributors" I find this mindset very refreshing in the era of availability often implying noise over signal.

Fair point, I wasn't thinking about making everybody a civil engineer but you can clean some walkway, fix a simple bolt, a bench. that sort of thing.

ah yeah pretty common and pretty annoying.. either they had to avoid false issues or maybe there was a regulation forcing the use of a more beefy system (or maybe someone thought it's "better" to use the latest shiny thing)

That is true, that said reporting is not the same (imo) as having a global map of problems and proposals to fix some of them. To me it's a lot more engaging (again, imo) as you see the distance to a goal.

Are there other similar apps to stimulate soft "crowdfixing" ? I'm sure there are plenty of other aspect of society that would benefit from a light way to know where someone can contribute or notify so other can fix things (f

Corporate emails asking why are you not using the <insert-llm> paid plan ??? came very very rapidly. So naturally, everybody started to use it blindly so that the dashboard metrics are all high. It's astonishing how society forge

I ask myself the same questions. And I see other people discussing this on HN or other websites (old video games culture for instance). I too feel that the computing aesthetic has vanished, somehow on purpose, a lot of efforts were aimed at

Hehe yeah we all have our own tastes based on time. But I'm also interested about the perception of computers. I too was enamoured with the creative possibilities of it. But nowadays I see a detrimental trend in how aesthetics are born
