The trouble I have is that when I see a headline like this on hackernews my first thought is always "huh.. so what are netlify and vercel?" Maybe most people on here already use those daily but not being in web development I usual

Reminds me of in the show "The Good Place", in the afterlife they are not able to utter expletives, and so when they try to swear, a replacement word comes out of their mouth instead, leading to the line "Somebody royally for

It's all about balance. Private venues want their customers to have the best experience they can so they will want to come back. The purple lanyard solution MIGHT work, depending on the ratio of people wearing them and the number of pe

Funnily enough I use nextcloud to upload my photos and then immich with the external dir pointed to my nextcloud directory to actually view them. Mostly came about because I installed nextcloud first. But it means I get to keep both immich

The venues for these things are private and so they can set their own rules. The author proposes a rule: A simple purple lanyard indicating that you don't wish to be included in the published film. This doesn't necessarily need to

This is why for learning Chinese I use Pleco, which is a dictionary that allow has a button to instantly add any word to your flashcard list. So when I encounter a new word I just look it up and then add it to flashcards which I review each

Why can youtube not just give a micropayments backed API? Just charge a few cents per video download and be done with it.

Honestly I made similar mistakes back before AI as a junior developer, by just copy/pasting code or confusing two things.

This is a big part of why Android was developed in the first place. The operating system and application architecture that makes sense on desktop just doesn't make sense on mobile. Despite the many problems Google's restrictive AP

My current best guess is that people are finding stablecoins valuable because they are effectively barer assets issued by an entity in another jurisdiction that has no requirement to surveil or control how those tokens are moved around betw

It's interesting because usually correctly collecting requirements and specifying a program is more difficult than actually coding it. Especially when you get into things like building secure, maintainable, extendable applications, tha

Not any different to losing your job to someone who knows the next JS framework though. And we know the standard ways of protecting yourself from that.

While you have a point there is another aspect to this: If our current situation were already different, netflix and banks would not be able to pull these things in the first place. E.g. if using open free platforms was already the norm, ne

On the other hand, that extra money can be used to expand the business in other ways, plus most kids coming out of college these days are going to be experts in getting jobs done with AI (although they will need a lot of training in writing

If you oppose it then the right will say you support criminals and illegal immigrants and the left will say you harbor racist desires to express hatred under the guise of free speech and privacy.

LLMs are famously bad at producing rust code. I'm not sure how much of it is the lesser amount of Rust code in the training data, or just the fact that Rust has a very large number of pitfalls, and a large standard library with many ed

Hmm I can imagine that while LLMs are good at producing working code in Go they might not be as good at structuring larger applications, compared to building on opinionated frameworks. I imagine there could be some presets out there that gu

It's mostly a convenience, so that you don't have to look for coins or remember to tip online later. Uber here even tells you that the driver doesn't get informed about the tip until an hour after delivery, so you can still e

So in the hands of someone whose main expertise is in writing the secure login and data protection part of an application, maybe it is a bit better? At least they could eliminate much of the low hanging fruit. Of course anything put togethe

What happens if you just point it at its own source and ask it to add the feature?

A better analogy would be a balaclava. Lots of legitimate uses but it's uncommon to see people wearing them day to day and is very popular with criminals. But we don't imagine we could ban balaclavas to prevent crime.

There are very few unbanked people in western countries, and so its natural that it would be unusual to come across those use cases there. There are in fact services that will act as a glue between the bitcoin ecosystem and "fiat"

It's not the how but the why. If you know you need bitcoin you know. If everything seems fine without it why would you bother?

by sharperguy 1y ago
Explaining bitcoin to someone who has no interest in it is like trying to explain to your mother in law that she should remove windows and switch to linux. From their perspective it just seems unneccesarry and overcomplicated.

Is it really cloudflare doing this or endless bot attacks making these kind of tools necessary?

They should just distribute it in some kind of bytecode compiled language with JIT VM like java. Then at least it will be cross platform.
