I don't use Vite though. Aside from typescript, I'm trying to be as vanilla/unopinionated as possible, using Web Components for example. And there are hundreds of Jest tests I don't want to port.

I'm going to keep hitting reload on this page until someone solves some of the worst problems of my work life right now; getting a npm monorepo with typescript, eslint and jest working smoothly. Thank you to whoever(s) that is. I'

I tried to use Bun but it doesn't support some low level Node APIs properly, in my case for Playwright. Keeping an eye on it though, what I saw seeemed promising.

The problem is they are chasing a 1990s vision of computing, office suites in particular. They're just creating more silos. By this point, they should be working with data and schemas, not documents. Documents are just a by product. Op

Apple Silicon made x86 silicon look bad, but what has it really upended? Macs are taking over more of the personal computer market, but hard to say what the factor is there. I think it's mostly network effects, partially due to their s

In my experience, it leads to slow, expensive solutions. It might be really helpful if it provided special purpose small, fast handler models that could be run locally so openai would only be used when really called for.

I don't know who this mysterious person who would want to see my photos in 50 years is, but I keep photos for myself. Storage is cheap enough that I really don't worry about paying for it, and I don't think that's going

I don't understand why more people don't care about round-tripping. Yes it was over ambitious and far too heavyweight in the 90s, but today you should be able to generate OpenAPI and its data and component equivalents from the vis

Thank you for this, but I guess it's out of date, for Canada at least it's now https://articles.alpha.canada.ca/forms-formulaires/ It went from DIY open source to something more like the UK's model; in f

That might be part of their calculation. After five years or so, most people aren't going to want them. So they might run poorly, but at least they're not abandoning them. Anyway, it was mostly Qualcomm that was preventing longer

I like the change from "master" to "main" and a lot of other changes of our times. And I have found it very often says something about a person when they dig in their heels and make a lot of noise about it. Many words ar

I don't know why they don't mention the excellent WebPilot plugin, which has been able to search the web (on any browser natch) for a while. It has all kinds of nice open source abilities.

Yes it is useful as a deflection against early hype, but I don't think the headline is fair.

I've learned the Register isn't a very good rag, they push the cattiness so much, you can only get information from between the lines. The reality is "AI" is an important part of the future, local AI if it's going t

This reminded me of the syndrome of descriptions of software that assume knowledge of the last system. eg "well-known Linux facilities." Pretty sure the number of people who know what network namespaces are is smaller than those f

I'm not sure about unnerving. Psychologically, I know I'm looking at a recording. But when they're not looking at the viewer, it looks like they've got better things to do. I see this being used all the time recently, i

Nearly totally unrelated, but what is with the recent trend of showing people talking to but not look at the camera? Do they save money that way? It drives me bananas and is just a distraction from the content being conveyed.. Altogether, w

The number of people who disable Javascript is probably less than people who refuse to or can't upgrade from really old browsers, where all the current HTML and CSS is going to break. I don't get the HN hysteria over Javascript. Y

When are we going to get away from all the YAGNI engineering that has sold short the promise of the Web for more rented silos, and get to something more like HATEOAS?

I find this video discussion of Orwell and his works to be illuminating: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Gz0I_X_nfo Asimov's critiques of his work, for example.

Do you mean you don't use NVLink or just use one that works? I am under the impression it is being phased out ("PCIe 5 is fast enough") and some kits don't use it.

I didn't mean "but" we need that, I meant "and" we need that. In case there's any doubt, I am 100% for immigration.

People are living longer and healthier and more independantly, which means they want to stay in their city homes in their 60s - 80s. What do you want to do, put them in warehouses? Plus there is a lot of immigration, but we need that. There

Huh! I hadn't seen dataview before (I think mdld predates it), I'm more than happy to use another work if it's a supported superset. mdld is sort of inspired by Semantic Mediawiki, dataview uses SMW's :: notation, which

It (or maybe a new version of it) is the future. But people got bored and justiably frustrated in how clunky it is, because it can be and do everything. As often happens, people started abandoning it just as it was getting really interestin

I don't think people should be making tables, they should be making data, which they put into a table via a query. I ran with this for my own note taking system, mdld. https://github.com/vid/mdld , which works wit

Yes, based on the NeXTSTEP roots, everything should be object oriented. Think of it like visual copy/paste. Pretty much every on screen item should have a meaning and relationship to everything else. For example, in https:/&#x2F
