Unfortunately often the problem seems to be how a government can do more evil.

Absolutely love the fact that they reference a "real package manager" like npm, which has been used in countless supply chain attacks, and brew, which can also run arbitrary scripts (though less likely in the mainline brew stuff, which many packages aren't able to be in).

Avoiding curlbashing is masking a deeper problem.

Why can they simply not add more computer?

I just go with Claude recommends at this point.

:/

Well perhaps consider this before speaking my dude.

DHH has already written a bunch of pretty horrific stuff and this post was kind of the icing on the cake.

There might have been a wee lil' bit of context there.

>I get that some people feel strongly about fairness and justice,

Yes, as is common for anyone with a shred of decency.

> just as much about efficacy and being effective

And spoken like a god damn sociopath.

As a European and Londoner we absolutely have to speak up and be upset if companies support someone who’s said a whole load of awful shit and got away with it.

It’s not particularly complicated, actually.

I mean he bitched publicly that an llm wouldn’t translate his shitty racist article.

I go with rust/datastar.

I actually think JSX is better, but I am bored of it because we don't need state in JS no more.

The comment situation is really bad. I generally don't see a lot of complaints people have about it, but the fact that it references random transient stuff, will delete a line and _leave a comment about the deleted line instead of just deleting the comment_, writes multiple paragraphs for the simplest stuff. It is absurd.

Are we either in a dangerous time where we'll run out of people that have weeks to months, and the resolution/boredom/ability to figure this sort of thing out?

Or are we in a really cool time where we've solved everything so much so many times we can focus on other things?

Tertiary question: If answer two, what the fuck is that?

I think the issue is that while ORMs etc, stuff like ecto…whilst they’re never going to be database native like actual SQL, the value in the abstraction isn’t making querying easier, but making more robust and useful the integration into the host language. It brings it out of database domain and into application domain so that doesn’t have to to constantly reinvented.

You can always be more expressive and portable in raw SQL, that’s obvious, but the things you’re doing have to be used somewhere, so at some point the things you are doing have to cross a barrier. For the 90% use case, ORMs are a pragmatic choice because the good abstractions aren’t about the syntax, they’re about allowing you to talk about and mutate data within the language paradigms that everything else is written in.

Also don't you entirely lose typing?

My favourite thing about TSX is that it is typechecked. How do you do that with random strings of HTML?

I wonder if the smarter thing to do would be to quietly nuke it as soon as it becomes clear that you'll be detained, so they can't really know that it wasn't already blank (IE you aren't nuking it in their presence).

It would be cool if there's a third PIN that can wipe the unpatriotic profile whilst showing the patriotic one.

So you use 1st pin for normal use, 2nd for downloading your flight details on patriot mode, and 3rd for unlocking to patriot mode whilst silently nuking unpatriotic data.

Or a PIN that just nukes the data for certain apps (Signal, Telegram, WhatsApp, E-mail) etc. Feds can read my Slack messages all day.

I've just found having TSX on the server and TSX on the client to be a fairly trusty abstraction, and also typesafe way to update the DOM.

The thing that is frustrating me about HTMX so far is: How do I build typesafe templates on the server? I'm trying out Aksama and it seems ok, is there something similar for JS?

Also the SPA abstraction of "your website is just a client that connects to a an API" is nice.

I was against it for ages but having have claude use it in a simple project and being frankly sick/bored of React, it seems nice.

I think the OP was talking about humans parking weirdly in the garage the robot picks them up from, not the car park itself—the car park itself is robot only (so they can jam cars together).

Our org has a really nicely set up review bot which has access to a repo of really strict standards to check new code against. It means that the reviews are much more useful and catch a lot of things that a plain bot wouldn’t. I think that’s a huge factor in being able to trust the reviews to catch more. You can also check the repo out locally.

I’ve genuinely found that context switching is a skill like any other. When I first started using LLMs and context switching doing 5-10 different work streams at once I was utterly, utterly exhausted at the end of each day.

Now many months in, it doesn’t feel nearly as taxing.

Maybe this is in no small part due to LLMs improving enough you don’t have to spend as much mental energy reviewing their output and them being better at managing worktrees and other tedium, but the idea of doing lots of things at once feels like a mental muscle that was previously weak and has gained in strength in ways I never though possible for me.

Ahh, I started my freelance career on a Portege R100 running Arch back in the day. The amount of times I missed meetings because of X11 failing to run or wpa_supplicant shitting the bed...

There's also Usenet.

Broot (br -w) can also do this (not with the big rectangles)

Ah so a little more serious than gang rape, I guess. https://www.bbc.com/news/live/cd0m38xndp3t

The margins/padding on stuff and the sizing is very haphazard.

Neat, could it leverage https://github.com/apple/container

Doesn’t Eastern Ukraine have more resources and more ethnic Russians?

Israel wants the Palestinian land. Many of them would be happy to raze Gaza to nothing and rebuild it.
