Chatting with vibe coders on reddit, I can definitely tell.. although my hunch is that a lot of people "not smart" enough to learn to program will be entering the field calling themselves programmers. I think maybe they are projec

To be frank someone who picks python is not doing it because they want the best performance. Its either because its the only language they know or they just don't really care about performance and want to finish the project fast.

Same. Feels like it's a lure into a vendor lock Better use something else

Pretty cool. I am a fan of everything Erlang. Managing large clusters of IOT devices running Beam sounds like a good idea not just because of fault tolerance but for hot swapping code.

Well luckily its illegal to do this in Europe due to the Digital Markets Act, so maybe the tiny minority can win .

That is understandable, most people are not technical but the few who has a need for it should have an option for it. As a developer I write apps for myself and I side-load them. Why take away my right to do so, just because other people ca

Eu has the Digital Markets Act and what google is doing is illegal in Eu. Gatekeepers must allow people to side-load software by regulation. Makes me think that google did this now since trump has been criticizing the DMA, so now they feel

As a digital nomad without permanent address I am happy to not have to change bank accounts every time I move. Thats it.

I don't think they spy on me more than a normal website does and I really don't have the need to use a web interface. Its not a problem as far as UX goes. Also as I wrote they do have a website, just not as feature rich.

The cache service is a database of sorts that usually stores key value pairs. The difference is in persistence and scaling and read/write permissions

My bank is revolut and Im very happy with them. Im a digital nomad and I can't keep making new bank accounts when I move to a new country. Their website is very limited and for account recovery only.

I need them for my bank and public transport. It sucks but I am locked in. Its a national security issue for Europe to rely on google or apple but seems politicians don't care

Well git was not really an attempt at decentralization so there is that.

I would like to know how many people visit the blog and from which countries. It can be used to measure it reaches people at all.

Nothing yet. Probably a new kind of model needs to be trained that can find injected prompts, sort if like an immune system for LLMs. Then the sanitized data can be passed to the LLM after. No real solution for it yet. I would be intereste

The more I read about google removing sideloading the more I feel like the internet has become an animal farm from George Orvell, and we are on one side of the fence. Are we on the farm or outside looking in?

So proof of work checks everywhere?

Should use a public blockchain for this? Its good for it, store public keys, verify signatures etc.. none of that token stuff tho

by hoppp 1y ago
I like that parsable signature in the http message however I dont quite understand how the system differentiates between human users and an llm agent controlling a browser

by hoppp 1y ago
Its fine, once institutions gobble up all the coins and the block reward disappears the blockchain can just stop. Bitcoin got eaten up by institutions.

Its great that the difficulty of rust actually helps refactor large codebases.

by hoppp 1y ago
So what is the price?
533.
by hoppp 1y ago
Yea but then you need need to commit each iteration of each file right away, even if its not working. Its fine if you just rebase at the end manually, but not good if you don't, your history will be cluttered and as hard to read as the

It takes a while to get into, just like with everything determination is key Also there are libraries that abstract away most if not all the things, so you don't have to know everything

Yup, Js can't be avoided. I was just doing a desktop app in golang.. and the best way to have cross platform ui? Webview. I tried all the frameworks in go and nothing comes close. I could choose another language to write my business lo

So fakeness inception all the way down?

These startups are just scams? I would not charge double, I would refuse to work with them. Let them fail and the founder go to jail for lying to investors. Or they should get hacked and collapse
538.
by hoppp 1y ago
Yup. When digging into vibe coded apps I get brainfuck. Its not organized for a human brain to process and full of weird things
539.
by hoppp 1y ago
Well that is true sadly but desktops and servers are still a different subject

I don't think a fan spinning is negative. The cooling is functioning effectively. Apple often lets the device throttle before it turns on the fans for "better ux" linux plays no such mind games.
