I'd be curious to hear more. I presume you're using some kind of semantic search? Any other kinds of semantic technology? What kinds of insights into your journaling has it offered you/users?

Tangentially, I am glad to see this thread again, I was worried the idea was scrapped since I hadn't seen it in the last few months. For whatever it counts for, I like this idea and hope to see it continue.

A parser combinator library. I'm writing a tool that will do static analysis of SQL (in a very limited fashion, it's a build tool and not a static analyzer, but I need to understand dependency relationships between statements). I

This makes sense if the computer was programmed that way accidentally . If the computer is a cut out to create plausible deniability, then reprogramming it won't actually work. The people responsible will find a way to reintroduce a b

The choice and design of algorithm can itself be an aesthetic decision. Eg, OP generated some layouts, and spotted something that wasn't to their taste; the edges frequently overlap. So, we might approach the problem like this: 1. Choo

Rather than emulating the behavior of Flash Player, you could write an implementation against the ActionScript language reference. https://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actions... And/or t

An emulator seeks to be bug-compatible with a specific language implementation, rather than to implement a language in the abstract. The reference implementation is the spec. But it isn't entirely cut and dry, and I see where your poin

I don't mean to indict or attack OP. To the extent that I come across that way, I've failed in my editing. I respect them for taking this as a learning experience and for being open about it.

The takeaway should be, "I should understand the system I'm deploying, regardless of the tool I'm using for search." You relied on ChatGPT to design your deployment strategy and to understand it for you. And consequently

You're probably not losing out on anything if that's comfortable for you. The primary advantage to me is avoiding context switching between a GUI and terminal mental model. But that probably just doesn't bother you.

by maxbond 2y ago
A programming language is a good abstraction for interacting with the computer. It's a metaphor for how a computer works. Graphical tools usually provide metaphors for how a certain set of tasks are done. The terminal is a REPL for a p

It's not one or the other. I learned CSS by learning Tailwind and using my IDE's preview feature to see what each class did (as well as reading articles, listening to podcasts, etc, but Tailwind was the foundation of my learning).

That talk had a big impact on my coding style. But citing a 99 line script written as an example for a blog post doesn't really support your argument. 99 lines is short, and verbosity is expected in such example code. Consider FastAPI.
