But if the talent is globally available, thanks to the remote work, what difference does it (location) make? I know that it's still not 100% true, but I think we're moving in this direction

Well, interesting idea, but can you trust that it generates it properly? Because if it doesn't, then your understanding of the code will be incorrect, even worse than lack of knowledge; and if you do need to check all the things it has

That + OpenAI planning to lose money until at least 2030 might put into question the perspective of whether these LLMs business can sustain themselves in the long-run; increasing prices is one thing, but you will lose lots of customers toge

As a European, I don't think we need one; I would argue that location is becoming less and less relevant, especially for building digital project. Finding your market niche and fit is another thing, but building the thing can be done f

Yeah, but just also the overall feel of the article is kind of LLM-y and not human in some hard to articulate way

Interesting, a few questions: 1. How hard/easy is it to make responses dynamic, i.e. to use something from the request data like query/path param or a body to execute function instead of hardcoding the response 2. What's the

Interesting, although something about the language makes me think it was written by a LLM; I like the ending though: "The key insight is to treat container images not as opaque black boxes, but as structured, manipulable archives. Deep

SQLite has its quirks, but in this particular case all you need is set PRAGMA busy_timeout=<a few seconds> and the problem is solved; and if you google it, it's widely known issue with described (this) solution. It's just we

Exactly - it's also strange that they didn't find a simple solution of setting PRAGMA busy_timeout=N; if you google/search SQLITE_BUSY: database is locked there are plenty of solid results describing the problem and solutio

Also worth mentioning - it happens more often when you set journal_mode=WAL, which is not a default. The default is DELETE mode, where the rollback journal is deleted at the conclusion of each transaction. What's more - in this mode (n

You should definitely be able to entertain all kinds of weird ideas - having open mind and always be willing to accept that you might be wrong - but also reject most of them, if they do not pass a smell test; after all, most weird ideas are

Interesting perspective, agreed 100%; having UDP available in the browser would open up a plethora of interesting new use cases - games, video/audio calls without WebRTC overhead - and techniques to use. Ohh wait - we will soon have it

Interesting analogy; are physical keys random then? Probably every company have a different strategy for it!

by BinaryIgor 11mo ago
True; that's why we have companies with paid product who devote a lot of their time - arguably majority - to make the exact interfaces people want and understand:) it's a ton, a ton of difficult work, for which there is little to

What's wrong with that? No engineering is 100% strict; there is always ambiguity at the edges

by BinaryIgor 11mo ago
True, but you have to have a really intensive workload to hit its limits; something in the order of tens of thousands writes per second; and even then, you can shard to a few instances. So yes, there is a limit - but in practice, not for mo

That's golden: "2. The other camp chases common sense This camp is far more pragmatic. They strip away unnecessary complexity and steer clear of overengineered solutions. They reason from first principles before making technology

I would partially agree. Speaking from experience, I can say that if you're naturally good at something, you can learn it pretty well even if resources are of poor quality. Obviously it makes all the difference if they're good, bu

True! But it feels like that if you find something that you're both naturaly good at and interested in - you're unstoppable

by BinaryIgor 1y ago
True; and the best case scenario is to discover something that you do have a natural, above average talent/aptitude for and you're interested/obsessive about it as well. This very thing is possibly your biggest leverage in li
