Its not evident to me what this does... It says that it "prints per query and average metrics", but it seems to just output some extremely generic stats. Does "query" actually mean request here? I see there's a word

They've DEFINITELY spent at least a million euros since the start. The fact that no one has any accurate figures is just one of many issues with this project and plea for help.

Why are community and competence mutually exclusive? Also, again, the main criticism was that the machines are simply not useful, practical or accessible - especially for those who live in areas that most need recycling initiatives. Rather

They're pleading for funds for version 5... Details of which they'll only work on and share IF they get more money... If you don't see an issue here, they we can safely preclude you from a future in any sort of investment or

The Ocean Cleanup immediately comes to mind. I very much doubt that they're even slightly "sustainable" in a financial sense, but their engineering and logistics efforts seem to be serious, and outcomes meaningful. And I&#x27

There's definitely some people here who are against the entire concept of recycling plastic. But the topic and difference of this thread is that football fans don't ask you to feed and house them for over a decade, while they do p

If you'll re-read my comment, you'll see that the lack of financial sustainability was only one of many significant criticisms. The strongest is simply that the machines/educational materials they produce are simply not pract

Yes, I should have properly cited and linked to it. It's "Project Kamp" and, again, appears to have been a hipster commune more than anything. https://www.onearmy.earth/project/project-kamp Why was there

I hope no one is against people living and working this way. But they're begging for money, after over a decade of complete mismanagement - and not just in a financial sense.

you're right, 'con' was far too strong and unfair of a word. They seem like decent enough people, but completely incapable of running a project like this. Which is what a significant portion of the non-profit world is made up

It's useful for people who don't want to make a bicycle-powered shredder and instead want to source local laser-cut specialized alloys and all sorts of electronics, so they can produce a few kg of shredded plastic per day, and the

I was super excited about Precious Plastic when I discovered them 8 years ago. But it didn't take long to realize that they didn't have a clue. The machines are all FAR too small and fancy/expensive to really make much sense.

Perhaps it would be useful for you to shift your perspective. Consider your writing to be just notes, a journal, a scratchpad, etc... Its just a place for you to identify, refine and articulate your ideas. It doesn't have to be for any

I cant help but think this article was published as a direct response to Cline's (arguably superior) fork, Roo Code, releasing an experimental Codebase Indexer in the past week... https://docs.roocode.com/features/

Genuine question: If Duolingo was being started today by a solo developer, and they essentially just created some sort of wrapper over [insert LLM] to be a language tutor, would there be outrage? I suspect not. So, this seems to be more abo

False. Could I ask ChatGPT to just "teach me spanish"? Surely not. But if you've got even a slight idea of what to do (learn present tense and vocab, then progressive, future and past, then some conditional, hypothetical etc.

I'm at a fairly high level in learning spanish, which mostly came from actually speaking the language and just studying the dictionary etc... Duolingo was absolutely useless - and that was 6 years ago. I can only imagine how terrible i

Ive read most of the comments here, and this is one of the only actually insightful ones. Communication is very hard - we have to first translate some scattered notions into a coherent idea, then find the right words to express that idea, t

I see nothing wrong at all with asking people for feedback on an essay that will be broadly published and read. That just seems prudent. What is more concerning is that I don't think many people who have read widely would consider Paul

I'm VERY curious as to what your prompt was. Because I just did the same thing, simply asking "do you think this is an example of good writing?" and it responded with this Yes, this is an example of good writing—in terms of c

You nailed it. Its incredible how many dunces here are lamenting how Deno abandoned everything, when all they really did was add a compatibility layer.

by nchmy 1y ago
Deno created JSR, and it already has TS (node may take a while to implement that) and plenty more.

by nchmy 1y ago
Evidently people didn't sufficiently value the technical promise of Deno and just wanted a (MUCH) better node. But, it also has plenty of new, bold, extra things (a sibling comment elaborates on it much better than I can). I, for one,

Have you considered that its a much larger job than someone can just bootstrap? Also, Node itself was initially sponsored by a corporate entity, and it lead to considerable problems as well. Now it has backing in many other ways. Also, are

I was objecting to your definition of effort vs expertise. It's quite obviously expertise vs time/experience. This is described in this wiki article that was linked in another comment. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki

by nchmy 1y ago
Could it be that they added node compatibility because people wanted node compatibility. If investors pushed for it as well, then they were just being sensible... I started working with JS/TS just before Deno 2 came out and having, ess
