What worries me about those kind of job roles is the missing or very slow feedback loop. As a programmer I can learn quickly and get better, because I have very quick feedback loops when I do something wrong (compiler, CI/CD, continous

A lot of good arguments which I think are often under looked. "We need to go into the cloud" often feels more like a peer pressure thing. It might be difficult to get a Hetzner server through the ordering processes of your company

There is one simple trick that helped me a lot with writing code and gives me clearly better ergonomics. Maybe a bit caused by the issue of German keyboard layout not working very well for this purpose. For Windows devices you can download

Wouldn't a vector DB be nice to have, so you can use it directly for search? I understand the argumentation of the article. But I can imagine that waiting so long for a LLM to react that I would actually prefer to do a search instead o

As someone who plays instruments via audio interface: I'm really confused by their definition of low-latency. For me, everything above 10ms is not low latency and I can -feel- that things get sluggish and a little less responsive. And

I've build a few Semantic MediaWikis in my past and share the concern about scalability. But also be aware that in many cases you might not need such a scalability like managing semantic data for all of Wikimedias major wikis in differ

My guess it that there is some cross-pollination and benefits from and to both sides. Machine Learning / LLMs benefit from having higher quality data that they can be trained from or that you can use to automatically add more relevant

I really wondered why this is not an explicit thing in most task / issue trackers. There should be some semantic relations between issues which are standardized and come with special feature support. If we know the dependencies and the

How would you ever be able to trust such a trustless, decentralized database? Wouldn't all the same problems that you addressed with Google appear again? With google, the most notable difference seems to be that it is big enough (due i

This free and open source software synth really blows me away. It's better than most paid alternatives and I really love how visual interactive and well laid out this synth is. Due to it being free, there's a huge community growin

The simplest solution here would be to use JSON5 ( https://json5.org/ ) if you're after comments. It still doesn't support / standardize dates, though. But realistically, it's also all about the ecosystem.

Ok, yes I see your point - I should have be more differentiated here. I can see that there are games which could also force you to keep focus. What I had in mind were more of the "almost instant reward" game mechanics.

So I come from where you come from. However, I have mostly (60-80%?) retained my ability to focus on reading without distraction. But there has been something lost and sometimes it feels like an uphill battle to retain your ability to conce

Just to add an aspect that I haven't seen so far. TypeScript makes your interfaces and their documentation much more explicit than with vanilla JS. If you work on your code in a team, you actually want to very clearly document the inpu

This will only happen if ECMAScript adopts types, which does not seem to be planned in the near future, afaik. Otherwise I can't see how it would supersede TypeScript, because that's the core reason to use it.

I do a agree with you, but we should also keep in mind that there's a distinction between dependencies and dev dependencies. Building and bundling for the web platform (where you have multiple browser, environments, users on different

Thanks to your feedback, I've added a new option to display "dateAdded" for bookmarks and two new options how the recentness of dateAdded affects the score. By default this is very low. (It will take a while until this is pub

by Fannon 5y ago
Yes, sorting sounds like a good option. I've just built in some additional scoring that increases points if last visited was recently. This only works for very recent visits (history/lastVisited), within the time frame that histor

by Fannon 5y ago
Yes. that's interesting. dateAdded is actually part of what the bookmark API returns, so this one would be rather easy to handle. Last date visited is more complicated. This extension only has it because it merges the results from hist

by Fannon 5y ago
Thanks for the feedback! How would you define age here? Last time visited? I have thought about introducing a way to increase score based on "recentness". There is one problem with the history in general, though: It's quite e

Thanks! What permission exactly does trouble you? I guess the tab permission is a bit unusual. However, with the Manifest V3, the extension couldn't make any outside calls anyway without explicit permission to do so (and this isn&#x27

YAML (and JSON of course) has the big advantage, that you can use JSON Schema to validate it and to provide realtime code intelligence in many Editors (VScode, IntelliJ, Monaco Editor in the web, many Web IDEs. Allthough you might need a pl
