I do a lot of OCaml and I found 5.5 to be much better, but that's kind of an esoteric language thing

There's an interesting distinction here where one approach is to build sandboxes that limit exposure, while the other is just allowing the program to be more secure. One approach is "Trust No Code" and the other is "Trus

Everybody here is complaining about how this isn't as good as airdrop, and that may be true. I have not really used airdrop, and this app is super useful to me.

Right now, I'm finding a decent rhythm in running 10-20 prompts and then kind of checking the results a few different ways. I'll ask the agent to review the code, I'll go through myself, I'll do some usability and gut ch

I did the same thing, and had the same experience, but it also gave more of an appreciation for Beads' architecture. I think the weird redundancies actually made a lot of sense when I began to understand some of the edge cases where ag

There's an axiom here which is that the better your overall user experience is, the less hardware support you are going to have. The more accessible software becomes the more infra is required to support it, and the more complex and co

Yes, but these things like easy exposure of metrics, having a simple editable back end, these used to be table stakes for this sort of thing

This is a great project, very cool, but it is actually insane to me that CRUD is so apparently hard that Google Sheets is the best solution

This makes sense and it's really that last step. It's one thing to do pattern matching or bit flipping routines. It's a whole different ballgame to build a game engine. Maybe if I knew gamedev better I wouldn't be as int

by sroerick 7mo ago
One thing I really don't understand would be the ergonomics of game dev. I mean, I guess it's just an isometric drawing library, and routines for each object (though this obviously isn't OOP game Dev). But like, for example,

I had always heard about how RCT was built in Assembly, and thought it was very impressive. The more I actually started digging into assembly, the more this task seems monumental and impossible. I didn't know there was a fork and I&#x2

It is weird. I've had maintainable solutions on non-trivial code, but it does kind of require babysitting. Planning documents and detailed specs help. You get a feel for where the agent will want to take a shortcut and can devise ways

In my experience, I've worked with a number of people in non-tech industries who tried to pivot their company into software, and a huge obstacle was that ultimately the code became unmaintainable. Maybe they didn't have the expert

XMPP is working pretty well for me

Thanks for reading it! I didn't use an LLM, lol. On documentation, I agree with you, and have gone done the same road. I actually built out a little chat app which acts as a wrapper around the codex app which does exactly this. Unfortu

by sroerick 7mo ago
I don't have the prompt, but I used codex. I probably wrote a medium sized paragraph explaining the architecture. It scaffolded out the app, and I think I prompted it twice more with some very small bugfixes. That got me to an MVP whic

I was just wondering what HN thought of this. I've been using it for a bit and I like the ergonomics. I'm posting it here in the hopes that some people will come in and tell me all the dumb things the code is doing.

Here's one success I had - https://github.com/sroerick/pakkun It's git for ETL. I haven't looked at the code, but I've been using it pretty effectively for the last week or two. I wouldn't feel

I'm developing on a $270 refurbished Dell, which has an i7 and 16 gigs of RAM. The Apple processor might be competitive, but the rest of the machine is not. 600 dollars is fine and not unreasonable, but there is certainly an Apple tax.

I feel like it was less than a year ago that Typescript was basically the only game in town and if you liked anything else you were a loon. I have been an anti Typescript guy for a long time but I wouldn't deny for a moment that it&#x2

So, hypothetically, if P9 had won, would it be better? I don't see any reason why it wouldn't be a perfectly capable interface. Is there a technical limitation here? I don't know much about graphics, but having tried to get g

I like Peertube a lot, and I didn't realize until just now that they had a form of P2P distributed distribution which uses WebRTC. But it would be great to be able to do that with a static site, without deploying a whole framework. Jus

What I'm suggesting is more in the context of self hosting - a JS wrapper which would make it easy to host a video with plain HTML while preventing bandwith issues.

This is a great point. One issue I've had with IPFS is that there's nothing baked into the protocol to maintain peer health, which really limits the ability to keep the swarm connected and healthy.

This is pretty interesting! I think serving video is a particularly interesting use of Webtorrent. I think it would be good if you could add this as a front end to basically make sites DDOS proof. So you host like a regular site, but with a

Plan 9 was interesting for me because I was just at the point of deciding "maybe everything being a file is a mistake". Then I learned about plan 9 and it blew my mind. Really a very neat system.

I would actually assume a little more sophistication. For each user, a measure of "Are they convinced that AI is great". Then, you weaponize your compute to have the maximum social impact. If somebody has a large following (many e
