This seems like a glaring bug in the scripts run by that `npx` command. The author is correct, the scripts should 100%: - Choose the lowest cost resource (it's a tutorial!) - Cleanup resources when the `delete` subscript is run I don&#

I love rogue games and recently spent an unreasonable amount of time trying to beat Angband (and failing). This is refreshingly simple, very playable on mobile too. Good luck!

But what is Cloudflare's KV? That seems to be stateful?

Absolutely on point and matches my experience (20+ years in software). The hard part is not software delivery; the hard part is stopping all the unnecessary technology and process and people inexorably creeping into everything everywhere.

I think the argument is supposed to be about ROI but it didn't really drive the point home: They don't want to invest in integrating their product in Gitlab, because it's 1/4 the size of Github and they see trends pointi

I'm still copy/pasting between VS.Code and ChatGPT. I just don't want to invest/commit yet because this workflow is good enough for me. It lets me chat design, architecture, UX, product in the same context as the code

When she deliberately chose not to go on Joe Rogan was where I started to seriously doubt her chances. It was all Beyonce, Michelle Obama and Taylor Swift. You can say everything you want about Rogan, but I still really, really wish she&#x2

If you read on the methodology of some of these 'election models', you'll understand there's a lot of narrative chasing that goes on (or even just "herding towards the least controversial number"). For example,

As someone who's done a lot of interviews on both sides: I get where you're coming from but don't really think it's as universal as you think. Some people gain understanding through doing; and there's nothing wrong

Python’s Cambrian explosion of dependency management continues. Maybe one day via some strange machine form of genetic algorithms a canonical system will emerge.

Probably the "English is a dual language with lots of words that mean the same thing because half are from French and the other half are Anglo Saxon" thing again. There are loads of words like this, there was an article about it o

I asked it to do its own DCF model of Paypal using current data and it did, using inputs from three different financial data sources. This is incredible and a direct threat to Google’s core biz.

Transformers were proposed in 2017. A decade ago none of this was predictable.

I'm working on a CRM with a flexible data model, and ChatGPT has written most of the code. I don't use the IDE integrations because I find them too "low level" - I work with GPT more in a sort of "pair programming&q

Yeah when I implemented a RAG myself I wondered why people were storing the text separately, it doesn't make any sense to me! It's not that "vector databases are the wrong abstraction", it's that "vector data i

From a "learning the basics" perspective I think it's fine? It could maybe have more emphasis on transformers I suppose. I think to get somewhere in the AI space you usually need to work somewhere that's solving real pro

I'd probably pay more for Spotify if they raised prices, I use it way more than any other streaming service like Netflix and get a ton of enjoyment from it. Maybe they should do that, or offer a premium tier with discounted concert tic

But wait how do you write code if the services are all in docker like that? What about my strongly typed monorepo? (I prefer a variation of this where all artefacts like databases are in docker compose, but my monorepo services run outs

How on Earth did FP "lose"? Most systems I work on these days use TypeScript, it's taken over huge parts of the industry, and OOP in TS is like an after thought that most people forget is even there at all. All the TS codebas

That kind of thing really depends on the language. Some of the stronger functional languages like Haskell have lazy evaluation, so that operation won't be as bad as it looks. But then you really need to fully understand the tradeoffs o
