   Huh, I've never actually looked too hard at Kotlin. That is a lot more syntactically flexible than I thought it was! That HTML builder reminds me of Ruby DSLs a lot.

   I think one common feature of those rounding procedures is that they are only done for cash payments, rather than plastic, so rather than representing a monetary value, it would have to represent a payment specifically. (With knowledge of p

   Oh neat! I stand corrected then! That's really cool! Definitely get that showcase up, I think it just helps to confirm this isn't one of those stealth-mode "solves everything" dev tools that disappears along with it&#x27

   Edit: This IS being used to build a product, see reply below One thing I always find weird about these sorts of projects is I get the feeling this is a framework built up from scratch. I've always had really bad luck doing that. Extrac

   I mean, if you squint your eyes a bit, that could be SQL! So even if it's not COBOL, there's people out there writing in a vaguely english business programming language.

   That's a fair point I hadn't considered! If intelligence is valuable in humans, and some cost factor of advancing human intelligence can be surpassed digitally like this, (I don't know how you'd measure intellect efficie

   I think the best argument I have against AGI's inevitability, is the fact it's not required for ML tools to be useful. Very few things are improved with a generalist behind the wheel. "AGI" has sci-fi vibes around it, wh

   Oh... and only for 750$ a month. The other sponsors pay more, but have to appear alongside those.

    From the codebase you extracted this from, how are you sending these prompt strings onward? I feel like it would really benefit from being inspired by all of ActionMailer, not just ActionMailer:::Preview. Being able to just fire these off i

    The cover of the book has an Addison Wesley logo on it, and the hard cover also has a Pearson logo on it. So that name has some textbook companies backing up PragProg as well. https://pragprog.com/titles/tpp20/the-

    There's a little visualizer tool listed in the External Links section! No clue what I'm doing but the flower diagrams it generates from floral formula parameters are pretty https://kvetnidiagram.8u.cz/index_en.php

    This is really opaque to understand, but it has that feeling of a REALLY cool personal project. My best guess is this is a dashboard platform and builder, that uses clojure under the hood for the content shown in each one of these cards. Th

    All of the organization suggestions are great, but maybe an accountability buddy would be helpful as well? (I need one for self managed projects at least) There’s tons of people out there also working on a solo project. Just having someone

    Neat! At first glance, I was a little worried this was a "make me a hinge, Hestus!" sort of AI integration. This seems very logical! Coming from CAD from the purely hobbyist 3D-printing side of things, I'm pretty familiar wit

    I think CSS's own internal logic prevents this sort of syntax from working, since you could be talking about any element matching `red-box`. There's no good way to refer to a specific match of a selector, unless you enforce that t

    I really like how a lot of software built to run amongst other GNOME applications, usually looks really GNOME-y. I know it's mostly just an effect of the system GTK components looking the way that they do, but it seems like people keep

    I think maybe a good middle ground is write an interpreter for an already spec'd esoteric language like brainfuck. [0] It's really fun. Brainfuck specifically is great because there's a lot to optimize with only 6 total opera

    I don't think I believe this as an accurate prediction of the future, but if anything like this comes to be, I think I'll probably just keep doing what I'm doing now, for fun. The predictions here sound pretty bleak. I don&#x

    Totally fair! I do think it leads people down a more interesting path though, transform matrices and processing big bitmaps lead folks to shaders! Though a DIY-with-a-scripting-language-and-iteration would definitely be a fun follow up vide

    The animation by Jordan West referenced near the end of the article is included in a really good video by him too! https://youtu.be/04oQ2jOUjkU It’s worth a watch! I personally prefer Jordan’s approach, which is more focuse

    To be fair, <a> tags can't send out non-GET requests. Which yes, can be interpreted as "logout controls should be buttons in forms, not links", but I would really like native htmx-like attributes for intractable html el

    Same here! Most of my life is in Omnifocus specifically (GTD-focused todo app), and I structure the projects like the quests this author mentions. I have to make them gut-feeling boolean checks if that makes sense. "Declutter the house

    Quick look around, this is absolutely adorable! I really like all the art you've done for this. The show me around thing is a nice touch! I guess it's a service that lets you display a figma (?) prototype in a little web view? Sma

    I would've thought some sort of cryptographic signature would be used here, though maybe that's something done in a wrapper around this XML documents? Neat none-the-less! I always like this sort of actually-it's-simpler-than-

    I just got back from a furry convention. Guess what? There was tons of people. People who mostly know each other online made the expensive and tedious choice to book a room at a hotel and a train/flight and get to Ottawa to go and see
