An FPV youtuber that never coded before tries to vibe code an fpv drone simulator.

They will sell "training data slots". So that when I'm looking for a butter cookie recipe, ChatGPT says I'll have to use 100g of "Brand (TM) Butter" instead of just "Butter". Ask i…

They do but we have for instance education to reduce their hallucinations in narrow fields of expertise. And a system of guardrails to only let educated people work in those fields…

No, Dresden was a big garrison city, manufacturing and transportation hub. Bombing it, as cruel at is was, served a purpose for the Allies to remove safe retreats for the Germans. …

Another quite common headline technique is "Car hits pedestrian/bicycle/other-car". As if the car was driving itself. It somehow shifts the blame away from the driver to the object…

Reading "Let me try to explain using analogies.", I was worried someone would come up with another car anology. Seeing orgs as people with characters, oh my, my eyes are opened now…

Fascinating, like watching a Bob Ross video but he is drawing with SDF formulas as his palette. Very chilling and pleasant to watch.

BTW, does anyone know a good migration library for nodejs/typescript? I was looking for one some months ago and kind of settled with Typeorm migrations but I don't like them that m…

When using raw SQL in strings, I really miss the automatic formatting that is provided for HTML, TSX and TS with prettier. Raw SQL query strings also do not compose well and I miss…

Writing literal SQL in JS would IMO need more tools than just a preprocessor like you describe. The few times I tried it (mostly in tests to check that the ORM is working properly)…

Tide + https://github.com/jscheid/prettier.el + projectile + helm work wonders. Been using this for +3 years now and its one of the bigger productivity improvements in my recent ye…

Agreed. I personally had never any problems with packages overwriting each other. Everybody knows that you have to namespace all the functions and it works, just like it works in C…

While elisp has lots of warts and weirdnesses stemming from ages long ago, I find it quite suited for its task as an editor scripting language. For instance, the global namespace i…

I did use MySQL/MariaDB in production for a couple of years, and now I'm using Postgres. PG sure seems to have better foundations and generally a more engineered approach to everyt…

Thanks for sharing these projects. So far I only knew tsql. I'm in the avoid code generation camp as well as typically my build processes are complex enough and don't need another …

Not getting warm with any query/ORM library out there. My own take of interfacing with an SQL database with Typescript: a query generator that uses mapped types a lot to infer resu…

Well, if Elixir had a Typesystem like Javascript has, I'd instantly switch to it. But atm I'm staying with Node because of Typescript.

Right, only querying a few fields seems not to be a builtin feature. Looks like you have to create the partial selectable type yourself and there is no support to typecheck that th…

Wow this is great! Very well written README. What just blew me away is the thing with the `JOIN` and the `to_jsonb(authors)`, all with complete typing support for the nested author…

I agree, kind of. My projection for a future with stricter copyright laws is a rise of or at least stronger development of subcultures that produce their own content which slips un…

Never having used C# myself but I sometimes play https://github.com/OpenRA/OpenRA (an open source Command & Conquer clone) which is written in C#, runs on all major OSes and uses M…

I tried mytaxi during a vacation in Italy. Went through the whole onboarding, including checking the trips expected fare and entering CC details only to get told after pressing the…

Well, comparing these two countries infrastructure-wise to a software project, then China is a greenfield project which is able to pick whatever is the hippest technology at the mo…
