Yeah I recommend reading “JavaScript the good parts” and don’t use anything far beyond those. Instead of “compile-time safety guarantees” by these vendor-lock-ins-masquerading-as-open-source, just use the language as it was designed: dynami

There’s no such thing as stateless, and there’s no such thing as serverless. The universe is a stateful organism in constant flux. Put another way: brushing-it-under-the-rug as a service.

Yeah I’m just saying in general. I probably shouldn’t have replied to anyone in particular—just jumping in the conversation. =)

Another way to think of this is not making a “game engine” but just “making a game”. Get rid of all the generic stuff and use some common patterns that fit the game exactly. No need to over-abstract!

I think one can consider what AI will bring to the field of physics. Merit is quite deserving of math and science of building tools which will unlock potential discoveries from here into the future. Despite all of the talk surrounding AI in

Im thinking a lot of those issues might be related to “smart” scraping which parses JavaScript. Could lean in to the bot and just make it easier for them to scrape by removing JavaScript from the websites. I realize this is somewhat off-top

The fact that everyone still calls it twitter answers your question. =) Maybe if he reverts the name.

Yeah it’s tough. Could get the people to curate the content. Bookmarks used to be a sacred thing. I’m sure if we band together, the best sites are already known to someone, somewhere. But yeah, read a book. Practice poetry. Go analog. It’s

Yeah I agree—they should use the AGPL as that’s the one that protects on the server side.

Yeah when I go to WPEngine site it feels like they copy-pasted it. This is the thing about open source is MOST people do not contribute anything. And we’re seeing this trend with the whole Continue.dev situation too. Copy-paste, rebrand, ma

Another parallel is type foundries and printing presses. At one point people operated these linotype machines which used molten lead. Of course this transitioned to photo typesetting which, to the dismay of everyone had poor results. Along

JetBrains built a business on top of IDEs long before AI was mainstream. GitHub built their business on top of Git and collaborative coding. Microsoft (who owns GitHub) built part of their business on Visual Studio (also IDEs) long before A

I watched the video promoting Continue.dev and just think to myself, these AI editors don’t actually add much value. EMacs and Treesitter is much faster way to “find all references to X” in the codebase. Other questions can be answered with

You “just” need a more vivid imagination if that’s as far as your comment stretches. I mean seriously, people on here. I’m just spitballing ideas not intended to write some kind of dissertation on brain-machine interaction. That’s Elon musk

The something special about biology is it uses much less energy than a network of power-hungry graphics cards!

Well, I mean to say, not exactly human brains. Consider an extremely large brain modified to add/remove sections to increase its capabilities. They already model neural networks on the human brain, even though they currently use orders

I think it will be an organoid brain bio-machine. We can already grow organs—just need to grow a brain and connect it to a machine.

I’ve recently discovered Tcl and absolutely love it! It’s such a fun language. The starpacks/starkits for packaging apps together are really nice. For anyone interested there’s a fork of the Tcl Dev Kit at: https://github.co

This to me seems not a problem with remote vs. office, but a particular company culture. Meeting notes aren’t difficult to create. The problem with chat-based solutions is people get lazy in articulation. So instead of a cohesive idea it’s

ChatGPT is really good at answering specific questions. Just like asking a co-worker, it will do the best to its knowledge , but expect you to know how to integrate that knowledge. It’s a very useful tool to see how to do something a diffe

Makes sense. Instead of having a flat back, it might be kind of neat to have it slope like a “wedge” shape. It would actually make the phone more comfortable in the hands too because they could improve the weight balance.

My biggest complaint is that the lenses aren’t flush with the back. I hate having cases on my phone, and their design makes wireless charging somewhat useless because it’s not flush with the charging mat.
