I understand Codeberg's standpoint. From their point of view I think it is only reasonable to sticking to your guns as well as mentioning, that at the end of the day there is no free lunch and LLM coding may be bloat to them. I know th

I agree with you. Victimhood par excellence: "My brain is a 200+ IQ machine desperately waiting for input. However, I cannot feed it! It is the walls, I guess." It should be legally enforced to place every author's smartphone

Wow, you couldn't be more wrong here. Math is something humans invented and is a model, nothing else. There is no logic per se, but a model that works quite well for us. I studied Math and CS as a very highly gifted and quickly found o

Hm, I use Facebook twice a year, to thank folks for my b-day greetings and for checking my account. Some with Insta. I am not the least addicted to it. I suspended TikTok, because it is of low value. YouTube is useful - only with the subscr

I’m with you on this, though I feel a conflict within myself: on one hand, the nostalgic attachment to that raw, "in-the-trenches" coding culture; on the other, the realization that building a proprietary engine is often completel

I had a glimpse at your posting. What exactly were you looking for? APIs? Here is a hint: quite many companies need a certificated provider who not only is certified but also has - 99,999% overlook this fact because of ignorance - enough in

If you have a large important financial service to maintain and develop, and such a code basis is part of your backend, I guarantee you that you won't think twice to simply rely on deterministic linters. The reason is quite obvious if

I think that over long developers will desperately be needed to handle AI. In my experience, within weeks now concepts written in stone get shattered and the next paradigm has to be used in order to max out AI in an development environment.

As someone who worked as forum member and even hosted his own very successful forum during the 2000-2015 years - it is so much work in a one sided system. It is a one to many relationship, where success in terms of forum quality and loyal m

I side with you and can share another crazy story: Between 2018 and 2020, I lived in a newly built, 90-square-meter rental apartment in Germany. It was luxurious, had a fire-rated door, and was very well soundproofed as well as equipped wit

To put it mildly: the reasons why I consider leaving the continent for good are growing and counting - not over decades, but rapidly over years and month. A/C is one reason. I bought one for my condo two years ago after experiencing 35

I cannot remember when I started using is, but I remember that at first there was only IntelliJ which could be modified via Plugins to be used for PHP and HTML, JavaScript anyway. It felt better then Adobe Dreamweaver at the time. I remembe

I disagree. I think you are contradicting yourself. If a previous work has been copy and pasted, and a novel reader doesn't know, wouldn't the reader benefit from the option to actually read the previous work as a whole? All credi

Then the old Sony Ericssons would be her best option I think. They were the ultimate in to small for my fingers, couldn't stand it. Still the best form factor has the iPhone 4 in my opinion. And here comes the revelation: the iPhone 17

Exactly. Noise cancelling is a treasure. And what I really like about them is the ease of use. The moment I start talking to someone, automagically the NC is paused as well as any audio you were listening to. It sounds so easy but is really

Yahoo has its moment. Maybe this is new to folks not being active in the internet during the 90th, but essentially search engines were partly simply link catalogs, curated mostly like Yahoo, CompuServe, AOL. Excite, Lycos. Web rings were a

You made my day. Everything is said and explained there. Ok, sometimes a more vivid and visually explanatory style would help, but here still Google is your friend for individual concepts. One of the best resources there is. git is a hell o

I think that the smartphone is the single worst thing to happen, not so much AI. AI will hopefully help deal with reckless people typing in their smartphones while driving etc. Make no mistake: I am as much perpetrator as victim. While I am

I totally agree. BW got thrown under the buss for taking a stance, his stance. He is a nonconformist and really, he puts in his comics a one of a kind mixture of childish silliness, questions, statements, and philosophical topics. There is

I am annoyed by 90% of the AI content. Even good AI content has always two disadvantages, which are so huge, that I consider them flaws: - bloat - selliness The peak cringe is the mixture of both: convolutes of texts massing buzzwords, link

I am mixed here. On the one hand there is the decision part from a game publisher, on the other hand the player. Subscription businesses is simply a usage over time. That's the troubling thing here. You don't really own games phys

Fun fact for C64 guys: The underlying mechanics of Carmack's technique is very similar to the full screen smooth scrolling effect on C64 at any speed and distance. It is nowadays referred to as DMA delay. ELIF: You trick the CPU to dis

I disagree. It is not the model alone. It needs a system which capitalizes on it. And this is very complex. Hardware, software, architecture - it takes a lot to get it right. Try running the latest OS models on a normal Mac or PC. Claude Fa

Same here. Good old 386/486 days in the scene. (Turbo) Pascal was a thing back then in conjunction with inline assembler. C was not really a big deal. Visual C++ came many years later. Even the legendary Triton relied on the combinatio

JavaScript is the new assembler layer so to say. Every compiler as per definition translates human readable code into machine language. The benefit of JavaScript is, that, after Google really pushed it to its limit with V8 and of course Nod

The crux of open source: per definition it is opened for the public to use it. I see it as a chance. Many OS projects themselves offer LLM readable websites, their docs. This way the project at least not only gets ingested but receives refe

The trouble I have is, that unlike the Cobol and Assembler era of the Mainframes, React, JavaScript and Python are beginner technology for AI. In other words: AI doesn't have a blind spot no matter whether AI will ever "get"
