It's not a zero sum game. Working on space tech does not preclude working on earth tech. I mean how many smart engineers in tech right now are working on improving advertising? And you're upset about a relative handful of engineer

Maybe AI will result in technology that will allow us to make that shit dehydrator for $100,000 instead of a billion. That's what I mean when I say as technology increases, resources required decreases.

Technology is inversely proportional to resources. If we can't get to Mars yet, that just means our technology isn't there. We need to work on that. Just like working a few days at a job can afford may people a magical global comm

That gives you a list of all the commands, no something short and sweet about exactly what the command you have written will do. If --explain is part of the argument parser then it would be relatively easy to implement.

by bottlepalm 4y ago
That's why I added --explain, so no matter what it is perfectly clear what the suggested command will do.

I'd be cool to type something like `// spin up a lamp stack docker image`, and have below it the ghosted auto-completed command powered by chat gpt or something. I'd go so far as to say all command line apps should have

You mean the car-oriented suburbs?

Hah yes, certain devs shouldn't travel together either.

by bottlepalm 4y ago
Well not exactly, each dev knows their piece of the system. Impossible to understand it all.

Anyone else work at a large company with a massively complex system that basically controls everything, and a skeleton crew of devs that know how it all works?

Always use myClassMethod = () => { ... } style syntax in classes, and stop worrying about 'this'

Yes we know how it works. What we’re saying is that it is a cryptic design. Just like the function returned from useEffect is used for unmounting the component. Not intuitive at all.

It’s kind of funny how cryptic react can be. Very easy to miss that having an empty [] as a second parameter will result in completely different functionality. React is pretty nice overall, just why do we design things to be so unintuitive.

Blah copy cat crimes. Every meter of infrastructure can’t be predicted. Society working comes down to the people themselves. If they can’t be trusted then we end up in a situation like many other countries where we have to surround our hous

It’s a death to the part of the web with information to drive ads. It’s a rebirth of a web before everything was crazy ad driven.

To be fair, WinForms is the spiritual successor to VB6, a lot more powerful, and just as productive.

OpenAI needs to feed all of Wikipedia, Reddit comments, stack overflow, GitHub, textbooks, IMDb, hacker news, books, news, yelp, etc.. into ChatGPT. That’s pretty much the next step to out googling google unless google does it first.

I'm also surprised that the top post is about the ordering of some words, it never even crossed my mind, and really emphasizes how no matter what people will find something to be upset about. Like we can't have comments like, &#x2

Wow can definitely relate to this being in a high level IC position, but not having enough influence on management to change the direction of the company. You sit on the sidelines knowing a decision is wrong, and after having said your piec

It’s the government not putting money into R&D across the board. Oh and it’s ridiculously dangerous to the point everything around it must be super protected and over engineered.
861.
by bottlepalm 4y ago
They have been talking about that for 30 years. It could be done in a very short period of time if real R&D was put into it. Look at submarine nuclear reactors for example.
862.
by bottlepalm 4y ago
You could argue if it weren’t war we wouldn’t have nuclear power or have landed in the moon, and many other things. There are many technologies out there completely obtainable, but without the investment of billions it won’t happen. Commerc

I guess people don’t like abandoning entire cities for decades when an accident happens.

by bottlepalm 4y ago
The ‘new’ reactors are barely more advanced than the old ones and even more complicated. Nuclear is pretty high end technology, it needs real investment to move forward. The government has shown little interest. Few reactors are built, what

Maybe if they’ve been maturing that experimental design for 36 years then you’d have a point, but they haven’t so you don’t.

by bottlepalm 4y ago
Nuclear power is a half baked technology that hasn’t had any real advancement since the Cold War ended. Unfortunately advancing the technology is beyond us. Like going to the moon, the costs are too high. Nuclear can and is commercialized,

I'm using prisma with postgres. It's pretty nice. You define all your tables in their custom schema format which has VS Code integration and lots of type checks so it will tell you if there's a problem with the schema. You c

If anything the model layer in Next.js is superior because you can use the same model layer to build the page SSR, and then Next.js will gracefully transfer the entire model layer over to the client where your app can continue to work again

For local development do you run two servers, next and asp and then for dynamic api calls by the client do you proxy the request through next or go directly to the asp server by its port number? Similarly in production do you use a reverse

People who don’t go to college also often live with others and don’t pay 30k for the privilege.
