I used webUSB to make an NFC login system and it was awesome, what’s the problem?

The Dall-e API sucks so much right now, I’ve been experimenting with it the past few days and it produces a lot of horrors. I even used the Dall-e prompt book as a guide but still so many more misses than hits. Even when it gives a non horr

Thats like asking why must a movie director give actors direction, they should just be able to read the script and act! You need to give the LLM some direction before asking questions sometimes because it will make random assumptions on its

It’s the work of Google’s PR team, there’s no competition if everyone thinks making a browser is impossible, so don’t even try, ~wink wink I’m only half joking but I’m pretty sure there are some PR companies pushing “trends” on the behalf o

The app sucks, I have been using the web interface exclusively even on mobile.

The definition of simulation is: imitation of a situation or process. "simulation of blood flowing through arteries and veins" I love the game of life but I don't really consider it a simulation, it's a toy that with the

by archerx 4y ago
I wouldn't call that a simulation though, it's just a looping process with rules. A simulation implies imitation, so if it's not imitating anything is it a simulation?

by archerx 4y ago
If it is a simulation, what is it simulating? There would have to be a "real" reference to compare against?

Yes, it does.

All I want is to be able to sandbox Windows from all of Microsoft's crap. I don't leave my computers awake while windows is running anymore because the moment it detects inactivity it starts loading up a bunch of unsolicited proce

CBD is not equal to THC, its not psychoactive at all. So no it is not “just try weed bro” and the fact you are so confident about something you know nothing about is quite shocking to be honest. Also opiates are over prescribed for many thi

I used azure at a previous job and it was awful, I even convinced the company to ditch it and buy a cheap local server. The end result is it was faster, they saved money and things worked better. If microsoft is really betting all its cards

If you get a CS degree and end up doing UIs/forms in React then something along the way went very very wrong.
647.
by archerx 4y ago
I have no issues with frameworks and libs but the fact I know I’m on site built with react because everything gets laggy and my laptops fans start spinning is not a great selling point.
648.
by archerx 4y ago
That’s strange, I thought the point of React was to make websites slow and laggy so you can save on server costs by just serving json after the initial payload.

I think they just wanted to deface the site for hacker cred. This was a long time ago.

I don’t know but when I blocked Turkey all the script kiddy attacks stopped. Honestly I don’t care about turkey, I just wanted the attacks to stop.

Constantly trying to get to the backend of the site and occasional ddos. Once one of them managed to deface the front page I had enough and just banned all of Turkey.

by archerx 4y ago
I would add Turkey to that list. Many many years ago I had a kind of popular podcast about computer graphics and all of my grief was coming from Turkey. After I banned all of Turkey‘s IPs my drama was over. Occasionally I would get an email

Should we take design advice from some one who puts light grey text on a white background for the main article text?

I wonder if these people have investments in battery tech. If you want answers follow the money.

This is why I stopped posting on the internet people will twist and turn stuff for reasons beyond me. It’s like pulling teeth.

In the front end you have no choice but in the backend you have all the choice into the world. No you’re not always locked in the backend if you have a decentralized system where each service can be based on a different language but yea, I

Why would anyone in 2023 use Java or choose to be locked into Microsoft?

It’s funny because when I think of “fractal of bad design”, Javascript is the first thing that comes to mind. I love Javascript but it makes me ask “why?” a lot.
