It's just hard launching a project in general - especially a B2C app. Someone could write the best software imaginable and never get a single user. I've actually been turning it over in my head recently about whether or not it&#x2

Gitea has artifact support?! We are truly blessed.

Mmm, this is for an Etsy-lite website ( https://plukio.com ) though honestly I've used Gitea for YEARS - even back when it was Gogs.

I personally just self-host. The project that I'm working on right now uses Gitea internally with an action runner. I use Digital Ocean and run a Nomad cluster on top of that. Gitea and its action runner builds container images and the

I don't know if this falls under good ethical behavior but the one time I needed to mass scrape sites was to build an affordable housing directory for the Bay Area. Whether or not a unit of housing was under rent control was only avail

I tried out NixOS a few years ago but recently transitioned back to Rocky Linux and Ansible. I know that Nix is treasured by some but it always came across as an esoteric tool for functional programming idealists. I found the community to b

I'm working on https://plukio.com . A lightweight alternative to Etsy built in Elixir. I saw a lot of people on the Internet (and a couple of people in real life) complaining about how there really is no equivalent for &quot

Oh, the alt tab developer! I actually love your product.

I'm pretty smitten with Phoenix as a framework. A lot is built into the BEAM by default and the Elixir ecosystem is quite lovely. I've been building an Etsy-lite replacement in my free time with it: https://plukio.com&#

I've caught Claude Code generating some pretty egregious security vulnerabilities. I'm using it to build an AI RPG site and the goal is to use web assembly as a bridge between author submitted code and LLMs in order to help shore

> So far Opus 4.5 has been the one LLM that keeps mostly coding in a, how to say, predictable way even with a existing code base. I find this to be true only if you have very explicit rules in CLAUDE.md and even then it still messes up.

> AI is pretty bad at Python and Go as well I disagree with this. At least for Go.

I have something similar that I built a long while ago. It's a large Do Not Disturb sign. There is a raspberry pi mini that controls power going to it. There is a corresponding daemon running on a PC that checks Discord call status. In

What do you feel is a good approach to licensing user generated content?

by OhSoHumble 10mo ago
I ended up building out a "spec" for Opus 4.5 to consume. I just copy-pasted all of the documentation into a markdown file and added it to the context window. Did fine after that. I also had the LLM write any "gotchas" t

That simplicity can lead to more complex and hard to read/support code. For example, to encode a JSON structure with a dynamic top-level key you need to write a custom marshaller OR marshal twice. That's... awful. Like bonkers lev

I'm currently an American who might move to the Netherlands if my interview goes well enough. The projected salary that I'll have is 105k euros. Reading around, this seems like a relatively okay rate given cost of living. I'l

I have been running NixOS on my laptop and on my homelab. I would not use it for a production system. Currently trying to migrate off of it to, I dunno, something else and Ansible. Nix has eaten hours of my life and upstream packages brea

I've commented on this before in a different k8s thread (one about a k8s outage) but something that bears repeating is that the entire job market is Kubernetes. My personal experience is that it is very, very hard to find a job right n

What's really unfortunate is that it feels like not choosing k8s is career suicide for SREs/DevOps/platform engineering. I chose Nomad for my current role and it works fantastic. I used ECS in my last role and it was also fan

Dota players have ears that are trained for keywords. For example, the game has a minimap. Players can buy items to keep the minimap revealed and to see the movement of enemy players. The enemy team can buy an item to make it so that they a

I'm at one the companies that issued layoffs. It was dictated by VCs that there had to be a significant reduction in cost before they gave out additional funding.

I use home-manager, yeah. I think the trouble is this: Nix (or NixOS, really), on the surface, looks like a configuration management system and a packaging specification had a functional programming baby. Now, I'm a systems engineer wh
