I’m not arguing for or against those policies. My comment is about how most anti-socialists don’t know what socialism is or what their policies entail. If shown many socialist ideas without saying where they’re from they’d support them and

That is definitely the opposing argument. Trotsky certainly realizes that it would mean the death of capitalism, which is the whole point of his socialist revolution. He's not really looking to maintain the status quo. I was just point

There is no risk of going to prison. It just doesn’t happen, never have and never will, no matter how unfair that is. Board members and CEOs are not held accountable, ever.

If you take a look at the Linkedin resume it seems his last technical job was 12 years ago and in an unrelated area to what he's currently trying to build. All in all his on-hands professional software engineering work seems to be limi

300k is 300k and the people receiving it won’t care if that’s chump change to the donor. Probably one of or the biggest donations the zigs foundation ever got. I don’t think it’s worth it making equivalences, I just commend it.

While I prefer remote it’s undeniable the vast majority of an adult’s socializing is done at work. Can you do it outside of it? Maybe, but probably not. Most of your friends will also work or they’ll have families and not be able to come ou

OP is talking about substituting a Kubernetes setup. FreeBSD was never in the cards. 99% of companies in the cloud don’t run or care about anything other than Linux.

Even if society is kinda collapsing that way people are still less likely to listen to a random influencer's review of biochemistry than a Professor in Biochemistry. These LLMs know just as much about the topic they're summarizing
223.
by dlisboa 2y ago
One problem I see with this is legitimizing LLM-extracted content as canon. The realistic human speech masks the fact that the LLM might be hallucinating or highlighting the wrong parts of a book/paper as important.

The query builder is yet another mini language that you have to learn and they change for each ORM so learning one is mostly wasted time. Many times I’ve been stuck in a place where I knew exactly how to write the SQL for it but had to spen

Maybe a cofounder of GitHub has the reach and network to ask for the e-mail of someone who worked on the Google Code team. A journalist might not, that's true. Just flat out saying they had no taste in product development, however, is

A lot of the code written in math, physics or data analysis settings is really written for the authors alone to understand. They benefit from tens of pages of documentation (papers) plus decades of previous experience from the readers. None

One thing is that in many cases recruiters cast a very wide net and can't distinguish competent from incompetent developers. This low signal-to-noise ratio means companies create increasingly more difficult interview processes to basic

Not speaking on whether the language should make this easier without an external library, but wouldn't https://github.com/sourcegraph/conc help in that scenario? It has context-aware and error-aware goroutine pool

I’ve found that junior devs can be incredibly creative and produce seemingly high-level code that they don’t fully understand. Results are often bad because they didn’t consider tradeoffs but still, pretty interesting code. Even before LLMs

Can you expand on it not being great for sites with long sessions? Why does that play into it at all, wouldn’t the tab just sit there and do nothing? Do you mean if you need interactivity when the user goes in and out of the page?

Frontend code can be easily bypassed or changed so you can't trust it to keep the state of your application in good condition. Nothing prevents me from picking the same username as someone else if there is no server-side code stopping
236.
by dlisboa 2y ago
Most likely that code already existed server-side and was duplicated client-side. It's what usually happens since frontend code can't enforce invariants.

Turso ( https://turso.tech/ ) offers a solution in that scenario. The advantage with SQLite being that each machine has a local copy of the database (optionally I think) for reads so it’ll be extremely fast, and writes happen

Yes, the idea is to send HTML on the wire. HTMX sends some headers that help you identify the context, this way you can render just a portion of the HTML (e.g. just the partial of the "Todo" list in your "Todo App" homep

That's pretty much all it does. It reacts to an event, fetches from an URL, swaps the result from that URL in some part of the DOM.

You can absolutely do it with HTMX. It'll feel SPA-smooth without all of the complexity. Some companies have rich and responsive UIs using plain HTML and an HTMX-like lib on top of it (like Hey.com). Pretty smooth and can be even react
