Since it is mainly for ease of development for your proprietary apps, you could immediately create/develop the gem in a separate repo and create a symbolic link to your apps vendor folders.

This looks cool! Congrats on releasing. The Linux installation steps look a bit funky to me: Downloading a zip file from the internet and unzipping directly to "/". It's not very different from piping curl output to bash

These kinds of posts are interesting to learn more about the architectures and failure modes at play. I agree that HN should not be a down detector but for a high profile service with infrequent outages like Wikipedia in this instance, a po

Why is that funny? I think it is normal that a hobby team working in a silo on an alternative client with a low amount of users move faster than a full engineering organization working on a mass rolled out product used in corporate environm

What sets this project apart from the MS Graph API? Are there any API features that Graph does not have? I have built an alternative Teams client for smart glasses using only MS Graph and Azure Communication Services and it can already do m

Kotlin's features are amazing for designing DSLs but I think your code sample uses more than just the 3 points you mentioned. Specifically the `call.respondText(..)` part. I assume that in this example the second argument to the `get`

I agree, which is why I'm not advocating writing or designing your own toolkit. Instead we as a developer community should focus on the "next generation" of toolkits for the modern cross-platform world. Take all that we have

It's a tough story indeed, but every existing toolkit had to start from scratch at some point. If I'm not mistaken Druid had its start in 2017 (I personally contributed some stuff on the GTK bits around 2019) and it is far from re

I think, now in 2022 it is time to let go of this idea (for cross-platform applications). What you propose means that any app that wants to be available on "all" desktop platforms has to be written at least 4 times (macOS, Windows

In my (limited) experience it seems to perform even better for typed languages (for example Kotlin/Java/Swift) compared to Python. The Python code it provided often had subtle type issues when working with dates. While the Kotlin

They are indeed based on similar code in the training dataset, but it also takes into account the context of the code in the conversation thread. While the initial code it generates is already impressive and pretty accurate. To me, the real

I was skeptic about AI's writing code but after playing with ChatGPT for a bit I have to adjust my views. I think tools like this can be great for generating skeletons and draft implementations for simple CRUD-like things. For example

I'm not saying it will reach Carmack levels of proficiency any time soon but have you tried pasting a non-trivial method into ChatGPT and ask the AI what the method does and how the code can be improved? I was very impressed about the

I think we are really close to a situation Neil Stephenson described in his book "Fall, or Dodge in Hell" where the internet/social media is swarmed with APEs. Bots that spread so much misinformation in various directions abo

This reminds me of a time 10 years ago when the company IRC channel had a bot that was able to interpret python and output the result. We got nerd-sniped for a few hours trying to make the bot interpret its own output as input again. Fun ti

That sounds plausible as well and I don't think both theories are mutually exclusive. The Get Inflow LTD was incorporated in May 2020 which loosely fits the above COVID-induced mental health crisis narrative. A worldwide event like tha

I have noticed the same thing lately. I don't think it's Baader-Meinhof as I've seen my personal BM-uptick in ADHD content 2 years ago after my own diagnosis. My theory is that it is a general increase of awareness around bot

Yes, I would and if you want to use the TIOBE index as a guide you can use the following reasoning to justify the choice: Rust is the spiritual successor for #2 (C) and #4 (C++), while Kotlin is that for #3 (Java). All three of those are sh

I would go for either Rust or Kotlin. Rust because it's a systems/native language and seems to be the go-to language for new projects that would have been started in C++ some years ago. Kotlin because it's a nice modern langu

I would not be surprised if the free WA messaging is implemented by whitelisting the signaling ports and domains (XMPP or similar) which only handle text content and small inline attachments. While larger images are uploaded and fetched out

Unfortunately that tweet is pretty accurate for a lot of fields. Although there are examples that show it can be done. Look at email and Git for example, or HTTP, WebRTC and browser js/css in general. I think it is up to us OSS nerds t

This would be the ideal solution for collaboration. A shared *DAV server as a datastore where everyone can bring their own client. Unfortunately this breaks down rather quickly as the various calDAV and cardDAV implementations vary wildly f

The way I get around that is by opening multiple workspaces so I can alt-backtick between them. At least on my setup the ideavim copy buffers are shared between workspaces so I can easily yank from one and paste in the other. It requires a

IMAP works out of the box with O365/Exchange and it supports oauth login which MS requires for most new accounts I believe. Calendar sync needs a plugin as far as I know.

Why would they pay users for this? They can just force a rename and take the path if they need it. Their house, their rules.

Around 2012-2013 (I think) I had an app where I had reverse engineered the Omnifocus sync protocol so you could "use Omnifocus" on an Android phone. After experimenting with pricing a bit I think I left it at $20 and consistently
