Everything ends. Even things you used for a long time.

Not really. Only thing you can guarantee is things change.

I'm guessing using AI will fundamentally change how IDE even works. Maybe everything IDE's offer right now is not needed when you have a copilot you tell what to do. I'm a long term vim user. I find all the IDE stuff distract

This is not an issue. Technology moves forward. You don't adapt, you fall behind. There were other editors and IDE's before the one you use. New devs will use it. Anyway, I don't use them either. I prefer to use ChatGPT and C

It doesn't matter how advanced debugging gets. At the end we always use print. Only reliable thing to do.

I did hear rumours that CIA/NSA used them. It meant no one could steal a computer and take data. Only thin clients everywhere. There were thin client "laptops" too.

Citrix was different remote desktop software. The way the sunrays worked was seamless. Thin clients and servers. Alas, that's not needed anymore.

I worked for Sun Microsystems as a placement year. The first time I saw Sun Rays, I couldn't believe it wasn't already used everywhere. We had badges that let us go from desk to desk, from one building to another, and even to our

Teaching is a terrible example. Teaching is actually more efficient when it is decentralised as the teachers can adapt to local environment and changes. With centralisation you have bad feedback loop.

Your dev setting up the local environment and getting it running is a great filter. Get rid of them if they can't.

Why didn't they send out new relays as Voyager travelled out.

This could be a nice UI to let you create the test visually.

Aren't the LLM's already trained on the whole web? no need to RAG, in theory.

I've been getting annoyed with Neovim and now trying out Zed.

Could we not just count the pixels and group hex values to certain colour words? DL doesn't seem its needed.

You should repeat to avoid coupling code that are contextually different. You want to avoid too many abstraction. There's no black and white rule. You'll get a feel for when to repeat and when to not.

Is it good journalism to watch YouTube interviews and report on that? I would expect they'd go first-hand to various people who know him and dig up stories from the past.

Its actually crazy that they released this app. Did they even try and use it?

I'll add my 2 pence for why Rails is still suitable for startups. Rails is still the best framework for building web forms quickly. Web apps are mostly web forms. It helps you get going with everything ready for you (validations, style

Not that bad metric if you consider they had to start from something. The argument on "rails dont scale" is that eventually you need to rewrite it. Which isn't actually true as there are many companies that continue to use it

by mooktakim 3y ago
Looking at big companies is a good indicator of whether "it can scale". If you want to know what scales better, thats when benchmark would be useful.

Could cause a mess. You don't want every member of team to potentially have different repository.

UUID does a lot of that for you already and you know its URL friendly. Its good enough for hiding things behind a URL and being unguessable. Good enough.

This is what they call a "desktop application"

I'm talking about 100 years ago when cars were invented. We didn't stop and wait for the infrastructure to be ready. We built it, got it out there. Everything else will come when and as we need it.

How did we get petrol cars without already having petrol stations everywhere??
