Agree. What Rails actually lacks is thousands of ready-made boilerplates that everyone and their grandma can use to spin a chat interface. Any programmer worth his salt should be able to write his own.

Well chatgpt & friends will definitely read it.

Cloudflare has essentially broken the internet. Blocking or restricting access of even residential IPs running in a real, common browser is evil. And just like that, we handed over the internet to a handful of companies, like it was never o

Yes, definitely. It's still the sanest choice imo.

What's even worse is that some won't even let you take a damn screenshot. "Disabled by your administrator." If that doesn't scream the fact that my device is in fact owned by someone else, I don't know what is.

Programming, mostly. Perhaps I'm not following enough people, though. > The only time I saw stuff about Trump and Musk was when I didn't follow enough people or didn't subscribed to feeds. Yeah, that pretty much sums up th

I'm really giving Bluesky a shot and I want it to succeed, but it really needs to be something more than a stronghold for the left. Maybe I've been put into some bubble already, but the vast majority of posts there are political.

He should start his own, have Grok write it and his worshipping Doge<whatever> accounts on X moderate it.

Why do people write like this? This is no way to write. Every time I read something. Written like this. I expect a sales pitch for a course at the end. /rant Perhaps it's just a personal preference, but I prefer reading fully-form

Of course they can, it takes one to know one.

> API isn't free. It never has been free, but they string along developers for as long as it's convenient and then turn against them. It's a pretty obvious pattern, yet devs fall for it every time.

APIs that don't put money on the table are being phased out. Musk did it with twitter and it didn't die (I'm not debating quality/financials). Then reddit did it (and even blocked VPNs) and it didn't die. Sure, it m

Good, Google's browser monopoly is a threat to the open web.

Rewrite it in any framework that _doesn't_ make you dependent on platforms waiting to milk you dry when usage takes off.

HN is mostly developers. Why is there no palpable backlash against this? Security?! Have we fallen for that crap again? If there's one place on the whole internet where it should begin taking shape, it's here. It's kinda sad.

But if twitter != free speech, then what's the alternative? It was ripe with misinformation even before Musk's takeover. It wasn't balanced before, it was left-leaning, with arbitrary definitions of what counted as misinforma

Didn't tumblr kinda die the day they banned porn?

Banning a company from doing business in your country is one thing, free speech be damned. But immediately threatening your own people with ungodly fines is authoritarianism pure and simple. Love or hate Musk, it's still not justified.

Misinformation has been rampant ever since social media has gained momentum, on both sides of the political aisle. The sad part is that some folks on the left would happily have a site banned now that Musk is a right-wing nut. They don&#x27

Not the best redesign, but probably the most upvotes and comments on a Ruby related post lately, so yay?

It might not prove to be that effective. I think common knowledge has been reinforced by hundreds of other sources that it's hard to pollute it. Specific, expert-level knowledge deriving from one's experience is more scarce and th

I can't put my finger on it just yet, but I have a feeling the average content creator isn't going to benefit from all this deal-making.
