Yet we have gcc and clang navigating that mess. From which Opus 4.6 was able to take inspiration.

Github Actions is a cobbled together mess. It is mainly based on Azure DevOps Pipelines and still has some glaring bugs and wildly inefficient parts. If it works for you, great. But it is far from being good.

My main takeaway was that I had no clue how large Krill can get. To think that Antarctic Krill is as long as the Bee Hummingbird is tall is absurd to me.

I really enjoyed building small apps with wails. Even though people would prefer that we all used native UI frameworks, the DX is simply incomparable to that of web technologies. And for most apps using browser based rendering won't b

That was my interpretation of the title when I first clicked it. Still interesting but easy to misunderstand nevertheless.

If you write your code such that you are hard to replace, because noone else would be able to understand what you were doing, I would consider that to be "bad taste" and "bad form".

I may be misunderstanding what you're trying to say, but I feel like this still suffers from one of the mentioned issues - situationality. Even the best actionable principles can be incorrect given a certain set of circumstances. If in

True, but I think its worth noting that inferring what a parameter could be is much easier if its something other than a boolean. You could of course store the boolean in a variable and have the variable name speak for its meaning but at th

Asking GPT 4o seems like an odd choice. I know this is not quite comparable to what they were doing, but asking different LLMs the following question > answer only with the name nothing more norting less.what currently available LLM do y

> Most developers don't want to use Linux at all. I don't know if this is necessarily true. Many of the develops I know prefer GUI applications to cli tooling, which I can get behind. That has nothing to do with Linux vs Window

When the message you push out through that websocket are something that server knows about intrinsically, as in, the message contents are produced by the server there is nothing wrong with the approach. When your server facilitates a commun

This is something that I have noticed as well. As soon as you venture into somewhat obscure fields, the output quality of LLMs drastically drops in my experience. Side note, reverse engineering SAP ABAP sounds torturous.

I have thought about this and I'm not sure that Electron really is to blame here. It makes building an application accessibile, which means that there will be lots of apps built with it, many of which won't be any good. Just like

I have tried Flutter and liked it for mobile development. Maybe I should give it a shot for desktop. Though I believe those that dislike Electron and the likes for not being native would also have a bone to pick with Flutter.

Cool, I didn't know that. I agree that this is, at least often, a case of where your roots lie. Whats most shocking to me is that the likes of Apple and Mircosoft don't seem to be interested in/capable of building an actuall

I think the popularity of Electron is merely a testament to the fact that native UI libraries need to step up their game in terms of approachability.

I like and understand the paradigm of using web technologies to build GUI apps. I have yet to find any desktop framework that even comes close to the DX of using web tech. I recently explored both Tauri [1] and Wails [2]. Especially Wails

Whilst I'm generally not against piracy - I think there are valid reasons as to why it's a thing - I can't help but feel like disguising pirating content under the veil of fair use is a bit far fetched and disingenuous. Using

The generated images have an interesting surrealist feeling to them. This also makes me think that, for now atleast, including mirrors in photos/videos would be pretty potent to help prove that something is not AI generated.

I guess somone will have to create one. Same thing happened pretty quickly after FluentAssertions went paid. It then becomes a question if someone is willing to put in the work to actually maintain that project.

I doubt that Microsoft would by it. From what I remeber they were working on their own framework doing a similar thing, which was originally meant to release in .NET 9 but got pushed back. Unless they want to throw all of that away I doubt

by 8-prime 2y ago
Yeah, with all the recent libraries going paid its looking pretty grim. Microsoft building their own version of many of the large libraries rather than just supporting them isn't helping either.

Although not the most elegant solution I like the idea of it, both from a batterylife standpoint, as well as a legibility perspective. Building a custom solution with some microcontroller a gps module and a small E-Ink display sounds doable

Mitochondria are so absurdly more complex and interesting than what is mostly taught in schools. Awesome video!
