Back in the day when I was a kid, I was dreaming of my game too and I stumbled upon GameMaker. I don't know the state of it now but from my experience it was really easy to grasp even at a fairly young age without help of any adult. I

For sure, you have productive members who can execute unlimited violence in the name of law, why not using them to displace the poor and ill away from the streets completely? Clean em up from scum eh. A brilliant idea of a mindful reaction

Quality article – for years of developing software, I have the bingo – heard and got used to every smell as long as there was air to breathe. I'm always in the end of this chain, doing the dirty work :)

Yes, but there are 15000 forks of the electron by individuals, even with contributions being not equal, it is still a community project owned and used by individuals and smaller groups all around the globe, not only Google or Microsoft. The

Why would everyone start using MAUI if there is a more robust community alternative around? They only develop this because they have resources to do so but no one really needs it. It is a classical Microsoft theme to have their own not-used

Not sure if this is trolling but Electron is a big open-source community project NOT "maintained by few people at Slack and one or two at Microsoft", you can easily check that by going into repository insights and seeing the corre

In this specific use case though it sucks the most since one will be answering more questions than code needed in sheer volume. Because the code is already straightmost clarification to the initial question. We will never be closer than loo

In a macbook pro build it certainly feels like this. I have an old 2015 mbp with A connectors serving for almost ten years now. When I plug something in it is tight and solid and feels right. On my latest mbp with C connectors, they are loo

Fun fact - putin's palace in Gelendzhik has a very similar pool - a much more tasteless one of course. He probably visited a Berlin pool like this during his bureau work and dreamt of owning one alike. his pool: https://imag

Not that I like the way Apple does business, but these days, phones are really used for distraction. So, it is a bit more logical to put a news aggregator there. At least you have to swipe right, and it is not doing it for you. At least it

I admire Signal and everything they do. Basically Software-as-Charity, for the greater cause. Now knowing this charity is actually millions drives me nuts. I hope the less expensive solution can be achieved in decentralization of the whole

Me too. I am seeing people seriously using the "Please write an expression for me which adds 2 and 2" prompt in order to get the "2+2" expression they need – advocating that they got it with magical efficiency. In all ho

So funny SQL query example, do you realize you could describe your exact query to the engine itself in the more precise and short terms? Writing "select X from Y where Z join XX" seems much more practical and rational than using

What I'm trying to say is that the problem is not approachable this way at all – efficiently generating code by describing what you want, since when you compress what you want into a prompt you lose the details, and in order to restore

Where is the evidence for that? Any real-world application made and running by describing software concepts to an LLM? It is what it is – a novel search engine, lossy and non-credible. Effectively useless on codebases that extend beyond its

I agree it is a great tool for learning, but I don't believe anything more complex or of real use can be made AND maintained with it.

+100 to that. My biggest scepticism is people actually creating a new problem while thinking they are solving problem. Don't get me wrong, translating natural language ideas into code is fun and all, the truth it is also code, yet in a

This whole thing is set-up to earn your money under the cover of protecting somebody from something, so all the prices you see are random manager thoughts on how much they want to get. There is no reasoning behind this price really and it i

The certificate process at Microsoft is an absolute hell designed for their "authorized" sales people to generate money out of thin air. As a result – most people now skip the "SmartScreen" warning at the level of habit.
