Any serverless FaaS offering should have a Timer trigger, which is essentially a cronjob.

Why not use ClojureScript and transpile it to TypeScript/JavaScript? That's part of my point. It's usually not worth it.

Maybe a better classification would be "amazing languages" vs "good enough ubiquitous languages" :)

I'm an experienced developer and I'm getting the feeling that advanced languages are getting less relevant for most applications, since you usually just need a little glue code to glue together mainstream solutions or managed serv

A lot of good advise here, especially "go see a therapist", but don't underestimate the simple stuff that might get you in this mood. Long periods of bad nutrition, sedentarism and sunlight deprivation have been linked as cau

On a side note, I'd be afraid to expose a GPT-3 based product on hacker news, since the hug of death might be an explosive billing from OpenAI.

Personally, I prefer CoffeeScript. The code gets more concise, it stimulates a coding style that's more objective and less "enterprisy" than TypeScript with all the excessive OO stuff. A simpler and more concise language attr

I've used Linux and Windows for more than a decade each. I know about desktop Linux' shortcomings and I was using Windows 10 in the last few years because it worked better than Linux for me. There is just too much stuff going on a

I've gone this route before and debugging your system can become problematic, especially when using adapters to format tables as JSON. But it works and the dev speed is unparalleled.

How's the experience of developing in F# for .NET Core? When I look into .NET C# code, it relies heavily on dependency injection and magic imports. This seems to be completely the opposite of what you would want in a functional languag

ChatGPT is really annoying. It answers with "I'm sorry blablabla" 80% of the time. It feels like a lawyer or a compliance expert.

Although it's not AGI and it says a lot of bullshit, this could be game changer for voice-based assistants (assuming the hardware needed to run these models will be commodity eventually).

Thanks! Perhaps I'm not good at prompt engineering, but I could barely get anything useful out of it.

What does this mean? Can I download the trained model and run it on my machines? Assuming I won't need a supercomputer to run it.

Forth is an important skill for a zombie apocalypse. You can create a simple computer, with a simple instruction set, and get a high level programming language in a short time :)

I was an avid user and it's amazing how it's able to port abstractions between its various modes. For example, you can use an auto complete plugin that replaces text with regexes to rename a batch of files. But nowadays I tend to

> All information for building a program is contained within the source code of the program. Thus there is no need for a make command or project files to build a Jai program. Ok, now I'm curious. Will have to check it out.

I don't know why, but the design of Squoosh's page is very appealing to me. Must be some design witchcraft :)

Can Cobalt be driven by Puppeteer, Playwright or Selenium?

I think it was a slab allocator made in house. It was a long time ago.

I felt like I could never find the docs for what I wanted to do. I had a constant feeling that I was doing stupid stuff that's not considered best practices. I've also tried to use it to manage my home dir with some third party to

Can't remember, so if I did, it was a long time ago. This story happened around 2010.

There was computer vision stuff in the missile's head (for target tracking), which is where the code was used.

I've coded the firmware for a CAN-based communication bus for a medical device with lots of different boards talking to each other. This same company had a war industry department and they used this code in a missile project. It left a

Do you use NixOS? I've found it a little too clunky for my taste, as a Gentoo Linux user. But maybe Nix is still worthwhile for me as a standalone tool.

What if Twitter actually succeeds after this? I'm not saying that it's likely, but what if? Let's imagine it as a thought exercise. What will this say about the current state of software engineering in startups and big techs?

Version control is probably the easiest thing to self host for both individuals and enterprises, but that's still very different from Copilot. A Git service provider will have access only to what I choose to push, but Copilot gets acce

I haven't used it yet. I believe when people say that it's the future of development and that every dev will have to use it or be left behind, but I can't fathom how people are comfortable sending every iteration of their cod

I think it must be much more fun creating an AI to be the dungeon master in NetHack. The vanilla monster AI is very crude.
