But why should we care? It's obvious Cursor's IDE is VSCode, I cannot think of a single reason why I should be against executing whatever the hell I want on my computer. It's not Cursor doing this, it's me doing th

Functionally all any of these companies want is faster work for a fraction of the cost, and since they are dependent on conforming to this plan for the sake of investment you should start considering your future employment. The lack of road

I think it's amazing working with Cursor. Sometimes it's dumb as shit but I can keep it focused and on track and working so fast I feel like the bottleneck is my 100+ WPM typing speed. I am looking forward to making software lik

Not just OpenAI's image gen, but I've been building this little RTS game almost entirely with AI, really just doing the coding myself and a whole lot of schlep work to get generated assets usable. https://store.steampow

Fundamentally I guess it feels like they have ground to a halt or even quietly retired the DSM line. Let's look at your NAS for an example (it's actually worse for mine cause I always loved the Slims lmao). DS1821 has no GPU trans

TBH the only reason anyone talks about transcoding is Synology's absolute dog-shit hardware options make it a problem. Most Intel CPUs and most AMD CPUs and many ARM CPUs and all the discrete GPUs are absolutely fine with munging vide

Basically an archaic idea that a NAS has to be only good at one thing which is just file sharing. It's hard to actually buy a computer that bad these days, although Synology still makes it easy lol.

I mean their prices have never been great, but the sadness is because they should have WON - Heroku should have been the standard for deploying and managing hosting instances and databases and stuff on any cloud.

Writing good software takes a good amount of time - you can catch bugs like this in so many ways but ultimately they should be being caught, tests should be failing in their deploys or their commits or whatever, but they will only be caught

I think the way other very similar sites have gained popularity is through widgets that other websites can embed - I've never been to CodePen to create something, yet I've used it dozens of times. I think lack of AI is probably

I think a lot of the (very real) pain just comes down to being a public private git server. Using a hosted platform is probably better in those circumstances. But you're really just swapping one problem for another: your bill was

They went from leading / pioneering horizontal scalability and database deploying and scaling and orchestration to "quiet-quitting" 15 years ago and doing almost nothing ever since - today they're barely worthy of mentio

Shed a tear for Heroku, they made all this go away such a long time ago but ultimately squandered their innovation and the ~decade lead they had on other thinking in this fashion.

You could use a separate, limited user account for each project. You could also confine them to containers pretty easily, VSCode has some solid extensions for SSH and container-based development.

If Synology is not interested in your use-case it doesn't really matter if you'd pay them to support it. But also they suck at most of what you're claiming anyway IMHO. Even their docker version is six years out of date .

Might make sense if you're an app developer but outside of that, even within that TBH, it's pretty niche.

Keep your servers stateless so you can distribute traffic between many instances. It's a very easy model to wrap your head around, I think pioneered by a YC startup a very long time ago called Heroku. All it really means in practice i

I have always wished TypeScript would just be built-in because it would eliminate build steps and processes and a massive chain of fluff that makes building and rebuilding and starting and restarting so much slower. It's hard to belie

Really what it means is there is one entity entitled to monetize the project, so it will probably just die if their monetization ideas or execution are lacking or their enthusiasm wanes. GitHub is full of dead projects like this because mo
