I have a 6k monitor. why are you embedding a 1400 px image I can view fine into a little 640px column which makes it hard to read?

I automatically don't want to use this database because the number of third party dependencies are an unfixable, never-ending source of security vulnerabilities.

2025 is going to be the year the metaverse really takes off. I can feel it. People definitely want Zuck's shitty VR 3D walled garden with worse graphics than a Nintendo Wii.

This says as much about the kind of tasks these people are being given and the whole organization of the company as it does AI's capabilities. This does not make rat penis implant recipient Mark Zuckerberg look as good as he probably t

Like all AI simps, your blanket response to pointing out flaws is to tell me to do more prompt engineering and then dismiss the issue entirely. In the time it takes me to coax the model to do the thing I was told it knows how to do, I coul

Spookily good at writing code? LLMs frequently hallucinate broken nonsense shit when I use them. Recognize what they do well (generate simple code in popular languages) while acknowledging where they are weak (non-trivial algorithms, any no

The author could first reproduce models and results from papers before trying to extend that work. Starting with something working helps.

They are handy for implementing simple ad-hoc hot reloading systems as well. E.g. you can have whatever file watcher you are using call an API when a file of interest changes that sends an event to listening clients on the frontend. You can

While there may be challenges, caring about frontend performance is still worth it. When I click the Create button in JIRA and start typing, the text field lags behind my typing. I use a 2019 MacBook Pro. Unforgivable. Whether one alternate

Grey on black text, cookie shit in the corner, their stupid menu overlaid over the text, their stupid announcement banner, giant quotes about the company larger than the actual press release. I fucking hate web design in 2024.

Why can't you just show a simple embedded video of the product instead of parallax embedded background video that scrolls badly even on decent hardware and gets all distorted depending on display resolution?

Zero evidence, just stating the same unproven argument as fact over and over. Also directly countered by how much commercially successful/widely adopted software has fucking awful dogshit code. Worse than useless.

So behind the scenes, every one of those statements will make a whole new user object with a whole new address object so that it remains immutable? And whether that will actually have any real-world performance impact is I guess entirely si

In a complex, mature system, a high impact bug could have a very small fix that is highly non-obvious. Your metric assumes that the person shitting out 1000 lines of a new feature no one wants is equally as productive as a distributed syste

by henning 2y ago
You are describing a feature factory where people ship features just to ship features. Shitloads of code gets shipped and yet there's no real forward momentum because none of it has any impact. It is a bad place to be.

That assumes all or almost all the work is writing the code, with no time allotted to actually using the app with that code written, benchmarking or other measurements, research about possible alternatives, etc.

As soon as people know how the metric is calculated, they will game that metric and it will cease to be useful.

Look at the fastest linting/build tools/runtimes for JavaScript. They are mostly not written in JavaScript, because JavaScript is slow and no amount of hotspot profiling/optimization will fix that. This is also why Python&#x2

Trump is not skilled at becoming rich. He is skilled at losing money and getting bailed out by his rich father over and over. If you're rich enough, you can be a total loser and it doesn't matter.
