> Code becomes only one representation of thought among many overlapping ones. This is wrong, code is the concrete "truth" being executed, the rest (plans, prompts, agent instructi…

It's like if class-based society materialized within the IT. And the manager class collectively pushes the narrative of AI replacing ICs. Note that it has beaten capitalism, making…

Yes I'm using Sonnet 4.5. Thanks for the tip, will try Opus 4.5, although costs might become an issue.

Hmm, your comment gave me the idea that maybe we should invent "What You Describe Is What You Get|. To replace HTML+Tailwind spaghetti with prompts generating it.

I don't see the AI capacity jump in the recent months at all. For me it's more the opposite, CC works worse than a few months ago. Keeps forgetting the rules from CLAUDE.md, halluc…

Found something here: https://github.com/bccp/covid-19-data

I'm trying to find raw, recent data on the number of deaths (from all causes) by country. Essentialy the source data for a chart like https://www.ft.com/__origami/service/image/v2/…

The problem I experienced multiple times in 50-200 KLOC projects is not the time needed to import the modules, but the memory consumption caused by the imports. Moving some imports…

That's very nice code and Python is non-functional. I love its generators. That's my version to make it more "functional": from itertools import cycle, islice from operator import …

Yes, this also seems weird to me. And I think it might be a cultural thing, I noticed that in Europe renting dedicated servers is far more popular than in the US.

I ride a bicycle daily and vape e-cigs. If anything I notice an increased performance immediately after vaping, I feel like I'm less tired and have more energy. Overall this is an …

But even for fully on-site teams the preferred format of a "knowledge base" is digital (wiki, Google Docs, etc.), because it's something that lasts, can be improved over time and i…

You must be more active when working remotely wrt. seeking social interactions. When working on-site, you get some of the interactions for free. When working remotely, you must act…

Quite nice presentation about remote work from PyCon 2019: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CTWgKyLk6mo This is generally pro-remote but it includes research results.

So where should I look up the definition of a DSL?

> That's an unjustified qualification. I could throw together a spreadsheet format that is all text. The spreadsheet GUI then becomes a advanced text editor that, when editing that…

I think these are examples of a https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_programming_language , while https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain-specific_language#Examp... are purely text-ba…

Are such successful DSLs described somewhere? Generally my feeling is somehow similar to the one expressed in the blog post, ie. that DSLs don't work for non-technical people. If s…

I think DSLs are about defining a 100% textual format. And spreadsheets are GUI apps. There's a DSL for defining a cell formula but in total it's a small part of the experience of …

I skimmed over it but it's again mostly about internal design. The high level use case I see is "publish-subscribe" which is handled by RabbitMQ and a dozen of other solutions. One…

Can someone provide actual high-level use cases for using Kafka? Prefereably use-cases not handled by RabbitMQ. I've seen a few talks about Kafka but they focused on the internals.…
