You tend to see it a lot in "Enterprise" software (.Net and Java shops in particular). A lot of Enterprise Software Architects will reach for their favored abstractions out of practice as opposed to if they fit. Custom solution

Pretty much live by these in practice... I've had a lot of arguments over #3 though... yes nested loops can cause problems... but when you're dealing with < 100 or so items in each nested loop and outer loop, it's not a b

Maybe, but it's probably the size of momentjs for Temporal and likely still not quite right. It's also not fun at all to have to target a bunch of fills/shims for a specific browser subset, though if you're targeting mo

From articles I've seen, it's mostly Facebook lobbying to "pass the buck" upstream to the OS level to actually inquire... this of course will blead into the OS provided "store" interfaces most likely. And whil

I wonder how this will mix wit federal laws saying you aren't allowed to track users under the age of 13yo? Will this then be forced as a browser API/header passed to every server/request?
606.
by tracker1 7mo ago
What do you think comes after this? This is just a first step towards exactly requiring age verification at the OS/Store level... Then comes ever more restrictive and intrusive tracking and eliminating all anonymity as a final goal.

TBF, most of the AI code I've reviewed isn't significantly different than code I've seen from people... in fact, I've seen significantly worse from real people. The fact is, it's useful as a tool, but you still shou

In the end, nothing is a perfect, complete solution for anything... there are always trade offs and additional pieces to consider in an ecosystem as a whole. That said, I think there's less and less reason for business operations, espe

Hard to imagine 385TB of games... Even an offline server with that much storage would be prohibitively expensive for most people to even begin thinking about. Let alone backup and have available online. Not sure about legalities, but migh

Ai emphatically doesn't know when to reach for A vs B in terms of the options on the table. At least understanding some of the characteristic trade offs will go a long way. Especially if you are inclined to favor simplicity over unne

I guess "Western Arabic" would have been more precise.

Maybe a silly question, but why Java? As a C# guy, my experience with AI is it hasn't been great with it, and I'd suspect similar for Java. I'd probably go with Rust, which my own efforts with AI has done really well with,

If anything, I'd have guessed that the size of an 8-track in a car stereo was probably a larger influence on potential form factors for CD audio. Since car stereos were at least somewhat normalized in the early 80's. Not speakin

No mentioned are the PC terminal apps from BBS era dialup connections that tended to use one of the 80x25 lines as a status bar, leaving 24 lines for the remote display... not to mention avoiding or embracing wrap issues that sometimes left

Definitely a lot of one-shot scripts for a given environment... I've started using a run/ directory for shell scripts that will do things like spin up a set of containers defined in a compose file.. build and test certain sub-proj

I'm somewhat optimistic... I think a lot of companies and managers are in a wait and see mode. The AI tooling can be genuinely helpful, but IMO definitely needs manual review and testing for function and security. Personally, mostly j

I've been using Claude Code within VS Code for the most part... it's funny, but from time to time, I forget to click the Claude icon, and start interacting with the default GitHub copilot on the side. I tend to find myself quickl

I think the implications of limited to no instructions are a little to way off depending on what you're doing... CRUD APIs, sure... especially if you have a well defined DB schema and API surface/approach. Anything that might get

Yeah, the more time I spend in planning and working through design/api documentation for how I want something to work, the better it does... Similar for testing against your specifications, not the code... once you have a defined API

I'm relatively forgiving on bugs that I kind of expect to have happen... just from experience working with developers... a lot of the bugs I catch in LLMs are exactly the same as those I have seen from real people. The real difference

I've built my career in web based apps... Depending on what you're doing, your exponentially increasing you bug surface in a web based app vs a TUI over a remote shell/ssh. It's not a matter of if you can do much as if

Where did I say you couldn't create it use a web application? That said, it's not a their GUI, it's a local UI as part of a thick client. You can definitely connect aWeb.UI to a remote system and over web sockets be really c

I get it... FWIW, you can run a telnet/ssh based BBS today over relatively modest hardware, though self-hosting at home given common blocking of regular server ports is a pain. I've got a nas and a relatively powerful mini-pc for

Even if it's motion comic level animation, it'd still be nice to see combined with the audio recordings.

Probably, but I'm guessing it's as big as moment.js ...

IIRC, it's not that secure though.. I'm really surprised people didn't do more things like send animated skulls to people's desktops.

That's fair... I feel that way about GUIs too in general though. Everything should be keyboard navigable and reasonable control flows. Tab and arrows, etc. Should be able to control focus and selection (enter). I admit I don't

I've been juggling some BBS related projects myself that involve some TUI work over raw and web sockets that I've been working on... It's definitely a fascinating space and there's been a lot of relatively recent activit

It makes far more sense in the context of effectively a remote session or dumb terminal serial connection. Your "terminal" application is only emulating a text mode environment inside a gui, typically... you can ctrl+alt+F2 - F5

Half surprised there's no raratui export with the other options. That said, probably lends itself more to Ink and @opentui/react. Also slightly disappointed at the lack of a direct Linux build for AppImage and/or Flathub.
