Your `$foo` example confused me at first because I thought the backticks are part of the example.

I’m happy to report that I work for ones that do. Privately owned company with decades-long history, no VC, no profit maximization mindset.

That isn’t necessarily true. LLMs could be good at finding issues that human miss when coding, while being bad at catching issues that they themselves miss while generating code.

And like non-EU companies create EU subsidiaries for that reason, non-US companies would create US ones.

It’s certainly only the US, because the alternative would effectively mean binding yourself to US providers, which isn’t attractive for anyone outside the US, in the present world-political climate.

They should register bitch.at, it seems to be available.

Yeah, I was thinking that the name will be prone to scunthorping.

GDPR compliance. Not in the US, of course.

It’s definitely been too long, since around 15 years ago.

You should be doing that anyway, no external hoster can be a replacement for having your own backup.

I can’t conceive of any system that couldn’t be gamed. The better bet, in my opinion, is gauging the quality of the writing, as we already do.

While that’s true, it’s still uncomfortable and hard to read, so I don’t know what WCAG is smoking: https://webaim.org/resources/contrastchecker/?fcolor=202958&... …

The web site is seven years old, and the project nine and a half years. So this isn’t anything new.

It’s still “only” at 30%, and “fluid intelligence” isn’t very well-defined. The models are getting more capable, but what that means in absolute terms is anyone’s guess, because we don’t have a thorou…

“Proportionally”? In proportion to what?

The answer is actually from 2009. As long as HTML/XML doesn’t suddenly become a regular language, I think it’s pretty timeless.

Uncle Bob already became part of the problem by some of the stuff he wrote in Clean Code (like using mutable instance fields instead of method parameters). Luckily he isn’t perceived as very relevant …

It’s probably the lack of distinguishing between a window obtaining focus because the application just launched and the window of a running application requesting focus for some other reason. Neverthe…

I disagree that it’s a common aging symptom, unless we are talking 70+. How do you know it’s your age instead of a sign of the times?

I have been self-hosting Gitea since long before Forgejo existed, but I understood the parent to be talking about third-party hosting with a FOSS community around it.

What are these plentiful alternatives? SourceHut also comes with “personal baggage”.

My interpretation is that the resource usage should be roughly proportional to the human activity involved. That wouldn’t restrict resource usage by any individual project, which might be a popular pr…

> Java lacks the expressiveness to make it much better than this. That's not really true. You can have a Java library providing: Json.writeTo(System.out) .object() .a…

Dynamically typed languages by their nature always have an easier time with (de)serialization.

Except that there is typically a feedback loop between the implementation and the module interfaces. While implementing, you discover aspect that makes you adjust, and sometimes completely alter, the …
