It is very hard work and with multilayer boards and surface mount components it is not really a hobby for me anymore, maybe with AI it can be again?

good luck, nice idea, agents are fun and a bit scary sometimes!

Gambling feeds on human misery, it should never be normalized, they made the right decision.

I am using the older version of raspberry pi 3 B+ to host mail and web services locally behind firewalls. There is a use case here for developing for remote areas that have unreliable internet and power. Still a way to go but there is somet

Any suggestions for an ancient Chromebook? Have one that is managed by a school from 10 years ago and they failed to release the device. I am a fan of alpine Linux which i think may work well on an old Chromebook. Any suggestions/links

I have mixed feelings about this, I hate the loss of slow "discovery" and the warm fuzzy feeling when you understand something that used to be Greek to you (unless of course you are Greek) The piles of programming books, sadly man

Absolutely, I give my agents access to MCP/API and they can check logs and setup checks for potential problems and whatever else

It is a really interesting debate, it seems to be a type of abstraction at least, with an interface as a natural language instead of a typed schema.

Neither really solved the problem, reality is too nuanced, AI fills the gap.

wow this is murky water, I love the abstraction of AI, I feel like the director of an orchestra creating beautiful music in code. I always resented having to write the same code over and over, now automated by AI but also support free and o

I got a bill for about R900 for just having a look at some of their services? I will never use them again, they are huge so probably dont really care about small users I have actually replaced most of what they do with Raspberry Pi's u

I love Go but am not a fan of .NET Have to ask what is the point of .NET is it even needed being the navel gazing MS fraternity?

It is a great analogy. Also quite like Linus Torvalds likening of AI to a compiler. He argues that calling AI the "author" of code is the equivalent of saying a compiler wrote your code. He views AI as an incredibly powerful produ

I have made boards but never actually used them (the delay between need and supply is too long for me) I wish I could 3d print a board with all its components - instant gratification (which incidentally was one of my half baked projects)

The real test of a programming language is its readabilty. I looked at lisp many times and it just doesn't do it for me.
