This type of arguments come up often here on HN, and I would guess many developers including myself will agree that things are bloated and bloated is not good. But the solution to this problem has to be in small actionable steps, not built

LOL, I'm reading Njal's saga right now and this was exactly what I needed.

It's a cool example and I guess there are or will be very convenient apps that will stream the last X min of screen recording and offer help with what you see. But it just hurts my programmer soul that it is somehow more effective to r

Not directly related to Dorkly, but we've implemented feature flags (with our own system) and found them not super-useful and was hoping for more - but we may be doing it wrong. I can certainly see feature flags working well for us whe

I wish there was a way to syn from Apple Notes to Obsidian (or maybe there is?) Apple Notes is just faster and more convenient for daily notes, but I want Obsidian to be my repository, so I want some mechanism of automatically syncing certa

This doesn't seem to be it, but I always wondered if it would make sense to have an extension to the IDE that uses the aggregated data from Sentry to highlight lines of code that have caused errors or slowdowns.

Nice! JSON schemas are really useful, we use them a lot for code generation. Another library that does this for multiple languages is https://quicktype.io/ . It's great, but not so actively developed.

Something like this: location ~ ^/([a-z0-9_-]+)/ { proxy_pass http://internal-$1:8000; } We pickup the service name from the URL and use it to select where to proxy_pass to. So /service1 would route to

I use Nginx as reverse proxy, and each service runs on the same internal port. There is a way to configure Nginx natively to dynamically route to the container with the same name. If I need multiple services up locally for development, I br

For validating the actual values and types in config files, I've been planning to use JSON Schema to define the configuration data and then validate files against it. But I haven't seen others talk about that a lot - is it somethi

Should run it with bun instead of Node.js for that extra speed!

Upcoming Citities Skylines 2 seems to have improved a lot on the simulation parts. Removing "pocket cars", giving more agency to agents, more types of zoning, hopefully more challenging economy, trading of resources with external

It seems to me that most city councils will operate similar services and therefore have similar needs from their software. Therefore it doesn't make sense for each council to buy and customize their own system. Even better, they could

Am I hallucinating or didn't several of the examples have background audio artifacts, like it's been trained on speech with noisy backgrounds, I'm guessing audio from movies paired with subtitles? Having random background aud

This is fantastic but it also clearly points on how deep a rabbit hole it is to try and do 100% simulation - a fractal challenge? There are so many tiny details that give it away, and I realize how technically complex it can be to solve eac

I've used ChatGPT a lot lately when developing some half-advanced Python code with async, websockets, etc. And I've been a bit underwhelmed to be honest. It will always output plausible code, but almost every time it will hallucin

I would love to see this getting bigger, not just for package managers but in general. With AIs it will be easier than ever to produce spam or just poor content. We need some better way to rank and accept content, and apart from having larg

For what it's worth my Macbook Retina has survived mostly unscathed since 2012 with heavy daily use. Two battery replacements, fraying charging cables and some worn out key faces, that's about it. Then again, I'm sure later M

Choosing ID strategy is one of those early architecture decisions that has to be done upfront and that can give a lot of headache later if the choice was wrong. So I wouldn't call it procrastination if it's made before starting de

LosslessCut is great, but I needed something quick when I cleaned up old GoPro videos. Just open an mp4/mov in QuickTime Player, trim it and save under a new name. It will create a lossless cut. If you need several from same video, you

Some very valid points in this article, but we need to remember that ChatGPT is still "just" a language model and not an intelligent entity, and it's trained on massive amounts of texts containing the average of human knowled

I've also wondered about the more speculative future of CAPTCHas - e.g. how to prove you are human when ML get better and better. Would be fun to add to the near future sci-fi I'm sometimes writing. I'd imagine CAPTCHAs could

I can only agree, sitting with this right now and it's all so brittle. Of course, it's not just YAML, it's Javascript, Powershell and Bash embedded into strings plus various hacky methods of escaping, templating and sending v

I can echo this, while doing its job most of the time, Omnisharp has been one of the least stable parts of my VS Code C# experience (the least stable as usual being anything relating to Unity ;) ). Issues like runaway compiler threads, slow
