   Whats wrong with just spinning up a server on hetzner. At most you need to setup nginx and a systemctl service

   I found a big part of what makes doing an activity enjoyable is the time spent thinking/planning involed to make it happen. For example if I spent a week looking at exactly how to plan my trip, and then finally going out to accomplish

   Ok agreed. But you can also just use any scripting language of your choice. Now you have a completely open development platform for your APIs. I guess parsing cmd line outputs would be annoying. Would be a worth while library to write

   Also mentioned in the article. Put it in scripts and pit them on git, and you have version control now too. users/create.sh, users/delete.sh, etc

   I use Postman a lot but this article was rather convincing. Just save your requests in separate script and organize them. And now you can run them from anywhere, including other scripts

   You can do all that in a shell script though

    I think it goes beyond that no, because you can do meta programming with Forth

    What do you find difficult about writing MCPs? I havent worked much with them but it seems easy enough. I made an MCP that integrates with jenkins so I can deploy code from claude (not totally useful cause can just make a few cli commands),

    Being able to integrate LLMs with the rest of the software/physical world is pretty cool, and its all powered through natural language. Were also at the point where the LLMs can generate MCP servers so you can pretty much generate com

    Oh jesus. I think AI is useful, but I figure 95%+ of it used on complete nonsense.

    You can literally write "Add a feature on the UI where we get a live update of new posts using a websocket connection in the backend server at /app/backend." And it will it will integrate websockets in your UI, backend a

    And even a java program may need a system wide install of ffmpeg or opencv or libgtk or VC runtime 2019 but not 2025 or some other dependency. And sometimes you want to ship multiple services together. In any case 'docker run x' i

    Also primarily java/intellij hser but for any non static languages like Js/Python or even simple text editor VS code is lovely. It's very simple to use, looks nice, full of features and the plugin system is beautiful anddd it

    But there really is no difference in difficulty in setting it up? Besides I don't get this argument considering you're setting up an arduino/esp32 to program/learn to program a microcontroller...

    Yup, youre right I remember that

    I don't quite remember, but I don't think I installed anything extra for ESP32. But PlatformIo with VSCode has it and was extremely easy to setup.

    by andoando 1y ago

    What's hard about programming an ESP32? I plug the USB in and its the same as an Arudino, can even use Arduino IDE, but I prefer VS Code with the PlatformIo extension. You can even use the Arduino Library (#import <Arduino.h> And

    I am really confused here. 1. Implementing a linked list is a one and done deal and should be included in a (standard) library. 2. Would a classic pointer based implementation of a linked list in C really be a cause of security vulnerabilit

    I got a dumb phone. Been messing around with setting a phone number to call to get SMS directions and things of that sort. Then I wanted to build my own phone so I got a LTE module and been messing around with that.

    Thats not a logical flaw, that's throwing out the premise of living in a logical world and saying "but if things worked completely differently, your argument makes no sense"
