What are some examples of this?

You should have it also review the cards too! /s

Have you discovered any unusual or unexpected type of resistances? What's the furthest back in history you've been able to find something like this?

It's just not. I have done all these things. Maintenance is a piece of cake. Sorry that you struggled with this.

You can achieve a great deal of interactivity with pure get/post requests, along with a sprinkling of javascript one-liners and maybe alpine.js if client interactivity is important…

This is a mix of specious, and just outright incorrect. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gish_gallop Here are a few brief replies: popups/tiling - use ` ` real-time chat - use websock…

> If web interface is an application backed by a remote state What does that mean?

Or, utilitarianism

I didn't realize maximizing money is the way to achieve moral excellence. It's interesting how Puritanical the EA folks are

This isn't a good example - people were completing 6-month bootcamps and getting $100k offers to do web development not too long ago, decades after the web and HTML took off. After…

Where is the quote from? A web search revealed only your comment

Thanks, that's a good insight into my value system then. I understand that code doesn't have to be human-readable to be correct. I don't want to work on a codebase filled with unre…

I re-read your comment a few times, but don't understand what you're saying unfortunately. You can write code that works (for some definition of "works") with LLMs without doing it…

It's appropriate for the commenter I was replying to, who asked how they can understand things, "while having never even read most of their code." I like AI-assisted programming, b…

Hot take: you can't have your cake and eat it too. If you aren't writing code, designing the system, creating architecture, or even writing the prompt, then you're not understandin…

Why?

Yes. BankGPT uses bank-grade encryption, access controls, and compliance with global data standards (GDPR, SOC 2, etc.) to ensure sensitive financial data is fully protected. Just …

I had this very thought recently at a concert. Tickets were $20, great. A clever shirt that ripped off an Office joke with the band’s name plastered on the front was $35. The music…

Vividness can be modified easily by adjusting the contrast, changing the black/white point, or changing the color temperature of an image.

Great read. In a similar (but not identical) vein, I have been reading "Leisure: The Basis of Culture" (1952) by Josef Pieper, which discusses the concept of "total work" - where e…

I have never read whatever farmers write, but I am almost certain it is miles better than the average tech writing drivel

I want to do this too, and have a feeling that it's not as hard or time-consuming as it seems. 15 years ago, all my music lived in a /Music folder and I could play anything in ther…
