This, exactly this, is what worries me about this industry.

Does anyone have a list of these HN ask-resource threads?

Good point. But I think current approach of large scale generative AI models is not sufficient for this.

Yeah you have wifi. Not everyone has. In rural India, for example, mobile data is predominant way of getting internet.

A. Direct solution vs choosing from 4-5 stack overflow answers. Gives an illusion of doing your work for you. B. AI can slightly manipulate existing code according to your prose. But I have also seen it fail hilariously to follow basic inst

I have made the same point elsewhere to AI enthusiasts friends of mine. The fact that defining the same task in natural language to an AI is easier than writing it in formal language, means the formal language lacks expressiveness [0], voca

On the other hand having to download all app details at once takes many MBs, not always fast. You can instead cache details of some applications. I think homebrew moved away from repository approach too.

I think GP meant development complexity.

It's funny because at least where I live, critical thinking is (rightly) associated with STEM. STEM is also harder for affluent people to get in without putting in work.

That's not an analogy. It's a polemic.

In India we usually call it "Computer Science & Engineering". But name is the only thing we get right in CS education.

We are all docker containers running on a kubernetes cluster. Can be upscaled or downscaled as needed.

Last time I used flutter for desktop, setting custom window size required an external package. I think it's a significant use case for many people.

> besides: that rule is entirely pointless in reality I think it means: a library author cannot name some type epoch_t, because POSIX may introduce an epoch_t in the next revision, and suddenly some code may fail to compile.

If you have a password manager synced across browsers, like chrome or firefox's builtin ones, it should be fairly simple, right?

There's also `termux-distro` so you can run in a sandbox popular distros like Debian and Arch.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, they all work pretty seemlessly on 1-2year old hardware, which I presume developers are using as well. On an old laptop I had, with a low end dual core AMD processor, low-end SSD and 4 Gigs of RAM, vim with LSP plugi

Outlook/Proton is easier because they don't ask for phone number while GMail does. (At least in my country). There's also number of throwaway temp mail providers, and 33mail (If I recall correctly, gives a subdomain and all e

I have also done this many times but I think GP has a point. This model needs more code, and a hassle when you're just trying to get something working.
