I did a similar thing but with backend-heavy code, and I agree with this assessment: > In particular, I asked ChatGPT to write a function by knowing precisely how I would have impl…

Speaking of keyboard shortcuts, I miss BSD's Ctrl-T and SIGINFO. It often helped to see if a process was hung.

Oh, that's easy: "founder mode" means the founder is hyperfocused (or in the oldspeak, obsessed) on his work (with his company) and optimizes (micromanages) everything. We know tha…

Encrypted Notepad II is my experiment in combining Open Source with a business model. The source code in its entirety is on GitHub, but the binaries are not. If you want to build t…

Does it support multiple brokers within the same projects? As in can I use both Kafka and RabbitMQ with it?

It's curious to see how times have changed. Soft-updates are indeed a very clever solution to the problem of file system consistency in the face of possible failures like OS crashe…

Doesn't plain old Duplicity ( https://duplicity.us/ ) do that already? (except for de-duplication)

Yeah, but... - Row-level anything introduces write alignment and fsync alignment problems; pages are easier to align than arbitrary-sized rows - PostgreSQL is very conservative (ma…

Does the generational reference approach do something similar to MVCC in databases (e.g. PostgreSQL)?

Heh, doesn't fully support the furlong-firking-forthinght system :( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FFF_system

Or is this another instance of "UFOs appear when we are close to a nuclear crysis"?

Early HTTP even provided bits and pieces of a mechanism to pay for content, and browser extensions with integrated with crypto wallets have shown that it's feasible to do reasonabl…

Neat but... Someone will make a crummier version of this in a language which doesn't feature parts looking like Unicode white noise and the original authors will be frustrated why …

A colleague said it best: Looks like freedom-loving tax-hating tough-love VCs have found communism this weekend.

Yes, it's interesting. This has been known and ocassionally touted for AGES. I've attempted to start a couple of such projects and have been following the progress of other project…

This is a beautiful example of the biggest current problem with DAOs and all (and I do mean ALL) crypto projects which aim to interface with the real world (i.e. all projects not d…

Yeah, it sucks and the teams has acquired the reputation of sellouts, but in practical terms, does it really matter? It looks like there's a new team with equally good or better mo…

Heh... (of course) it still needs to be tuned for some particular mindset or personal view. I've asked Marcus Aurelius' book "What is man?" expecting to get "A little breath, a lit…
