I'm gonna use this as an opportunity to get some feedback on mine: https://ayman.eldidi.org/articles/unicode-identifiers/
I've had better experience with LLMs translating than any bespoke translation tool, oddly enough. LLMs seemingly have a very good handle on regional varieties. As an example, I've never found a good translator for…
The withpersona.com URL seems to return 404.
The Acid2 test is the benchmark you’re thinking of, for anyone not aware: acid2.acidtests.org
> The C compiler that Anthropic created or whatever verb your want to use should prove that Claude is capable of doing reasonably complex level of making software. I don't doubt that an LLM would theoretically be…
There's an odd trend with these sorts of posts where the author claims to have had some transformative change in their workflow brought upon by LLM coding tools, but also seemingly has nothing to show for it. To me,…
I'm becoming concerned with the rate at which major software systems seem to be failing as of late. For context, last year I only logged four outages that actually disrupted my work; this quarter alone I'm already on my…
Yep, this sums it up perfectly for me. I tend to stay away from the extra stuff since the quality is hit or miss (more often hit than miss to be fair), but really there’s something special about having something like it…
That sounds really promising, maybe my family would be better suited to something like that. I will say though, Nextcloud is almost painless when it comes to management. I’ve had one or two issues in the past, but their…
I use my Nextcloud as a general file storage thing, I just emphasized the photo aspect because that’s my family’s main use case. I have heard of Immich though, perhaps I owe it an honest try someday.
Nextcloud is something I have a somewhat love-hate relationship with. On one hand, I've used Nextcloud for ~7 years to backup and provide access to all of my family's photos. We can look at our family pictures and…
There's some truth to this too honestly. At $JOB we prototyped one of our projects in Rust to evaluate the language for use, and only started using Docker once we chose to move to .NET, since the Rust deployment story…
Yeah that's becoming increasingly true. I guess it really depends on what your setup is.
There's another idea too, that docker is essentially a userspace service manager. It makes things like sandboxing, logging, restarting, etc the same everywhere, which makes having that multi-line build script more…
This is a really nice insight. I think years of linux have kind of numbed me to this. I've spent so much time on systems which use systemd now that going back to an Alpine Linux box always takes me a second to adjust,…
That's really interesting, I might actually use that for mine too. Thanks for sharing.
It has downsides and risks involved, for sure. I think the security part is perhaps a bit overblown, though. In any environment, the developers either care about staying on top of security or they don't. In my…
I think the "local maximum" we've gotten stuck at for application hosting is having a docker container as the canonical environment/deliverable, and injecting secrets when needed. That makes it easy to run and test…
I read it again and understand what you mean. I apologize for commenting like that so quickly, I was on my phone and typed that comment out before I really had time to digest the contents.
EDIT: I’m leaving the comment up so the replies make sense, but I completely missed the point here. That’s what I get for writing dismissive hacker news comments on my lunch break! I find it kind of hard to take this…
No kidding. I work with an API at my job that does the following: 1. Instead of omitting optional values or at least setting them to null, optional values are set to an empty string when not present (This is including…
No he did say he doesn’t want rust in Linux at all. Now I understand that he didn’t say “I won’t allow rust to be in Linux”, which is a useful distinction to make. But let’s not pretend like he didn’t say “rust…
It’s important to note that it’s not a matter of effort for Firefox. They’ve decided that the it’s not something they want to implement[1]. The reasoning is that they think it allows low enough level access to…
That seems like a good litmus test question since it has a single correct answer, but a lot of potentially incorrect ones which sound like they might be right (North America has a lot of Hamiltons after all).
They just mean service managers like SystemD and OpenRC prefer to handle daemonizing themselves, and thus would prefer that your program stay in the foreground and let them put it in the background. From OpenRC’s…
