YouTubers monetize fair use all the time. Is that significantly different?

Maybe you’re implying that message passing makes compile-time validation of messages difficult? The types themselves are a solved problem, as long as you allow actors to fail when …

What kind of codebase do you work on (number of lines?). How many tokens does your local context support? Maybe your statement is true for smaller codebases and shorter conversatio…

Has Kimi found a way to vastly reduce the amount of VRAM required without running at 3 tokens per second? That’s the real concern.

This is a ridiculous analogy. Test the app. Read its source code. Developers could always write toxic instruction in your tools. AI may write inefficient or messy code, but it’s fa…

JMESPath is what I wish jq was. Consistent grammar. It only issue is it lacks the ability to convert JSON to other formats like CSV.

Yes, it is true that companies are always hungry for more. But once again, those same companies never cared about beautiful code. They wanted us to build something that works as qu…

The people outside of us didn’t care about your beautiful code before. Now we can quickly build their boring applications and spend more time building beautiful things for our comm…

Don’t Erlang/Elixir model all concurrency as actors, to some level of success. I was under the impression that it allows for quite a bit of deployment flexibility. Actors are addre…

This reminds of me calorie tracking: you cannot perfectly capture the number of calories or macronutrients, but measuring does seem to help people loose weight. There are probably …

> You upgrade the libraries your website depends on, or add a dependency, and this new code happens to depend on that native prototype. Only you replaced it with your custom method…

This is basically a wrapper around Docker compose. The main advantage is that it takes care of GH action configuration and caching of images.

I couldn’t help but think this as well. I understand wanting software that feels snappy, but this is hardly a problem. Instead of trying to convince the reader that we should care …

Author here . If you'd like an intro to FoundationDB, you can take a look at this blog post I wrote. This CI framework was created during the writing of this post. https://jander.l…

Perhaps it’s a bug in the VS code terminal? I don’t see anything like this in Kitty.

It depends on what you mean by "sucks". I don't think anyone here is denying that it's often the best tool for the job. You SHOULD learn CSS if you want to be an effective UI progr…

Good suggestion. I take serializability for granted.

This seems like a lack of experience. The more I work with LLMs, the better I get at predicting what they’ll get wrong. I then shape my prompts to avoid the mistakes.

Calling psychedelics and “escape” is debatable. While you do leave reality, the alternative reality you enter is often difficult, uncomfortable, and challenging, at least in my exp…

I rather have my configuration centralized. Instead of configuring two things, this allows me to configure one. I’d take that trade off here.

Are we going to outlaw fruity cocktails as well? There has to be better ways of allowing adults to indulge than outright bans.

There’s always someone online who will assume the worst interpretation. It’s unfortunate.
