A product person can quickly validate an idea and, once the project is a bit more concrete you can bring in the engineering team and start caring about security, maintenability, scaling and so. A rewrite is almost always the best thing, you can start with a solid foundation instead of spaghetti vibe coded stuff
It means you can replace a whole team of developers alone.
I can believe that some tasks are speed up by 10x or even 20x, but I find very hard to believe it's the average of your productivity (maintaining good code quality)
The interesting part is that grok uses Elon's tweets as the source of truth for its opinions, and the prompt shows that
You create the form / survey without touching code and without provisioning or setup any infrastructure.
They are particular useful to companies wanting to do surveys without involving a development team
More and more logic moved to the client (and JS) to handle the additional interactivity, creating new frameworks to solve the increasing problems.
At some point, the bottleneck became the context switching and data passing between the server and the client.
SPAs and tools like Astro propose themselves as a way to improve DX in this context, either by creating complete separation between the two words (SPAs) or by making it transparent (Astro)
Just compare the two cases, assuming 100ms for the initial HTML loading and 200ms for JS loading and processing.
With full JS, you don't see anything for 300ms, the form does not exists (300ms is a noticeable delay for the human eye).
With frameworks such as Astro, after 100ms you already see the form. By the time you move the mouse and/or start interacting with it, the JS will probably be ready (because 200ms is almost instant in the context of starting an interaction).
This is not new at all, old school server side processing always did this. The advantage is writing the component only once, in one framework (React/vue/whatev). The server-client passage is transparent for the developer, and that wasn't the case at all in old school frameworks.
Note that I'm not seeing this is good! but this is the value proposition of Astro and similar frameworks: transparent server-client context switching, with better performance perceived by the user.
MCP servers are very new, they may be starting to looking into it now (when it's clear that they are here to stay for a while and not just a buzz), no way they did it immediately
Even though the enrolled people are completely trustworthy, doing this prevents untrustworthy people to simulate interest in the program just to be able to contact the external world for illegal activities.
How did you reach this conclusion? The main problem is that it works way better than traditional marketing medium.
It's the reason Google and Facebook are so massive, why would publishers choose to pay them if it doesn't work?
I was experimenting with something similar for a custom local-first app with multi device support.
Would it be possible to add optional E2E encryption to this? While reading the docs, by adding encryption to the event payload you would be almost there already, even though it would prevent log compaction on the server
How is "have" the correct verb here? Shouldn't it be "has"? Like, the crew is the subject, and it has 35 seconds.
I'm trying to understand what I'm missing here, because I'm sure BBC did not make a mistake
I think those are the main points for the above comment
So GraphQL?
There is a ton of content with dark jokes, black humor, very provocative content and even "nazi" memes and people send it to each other to laugh about it.
Those reels usually have very few likes / comments but A TON of sends. I personally am on multiple group chats where we only send each other those kind of memes.
The thing is, instagram being a huge echo chamber. Before you have no idea those exists, and once you are in you see a ton of those
TL;DR: They derive an identifier from IP address and User Agent using an hash, allowing them to have a tracking identifier without storing Personal identifiers (the IP address)
Of course in a real life program, it may be lost in other code logic and, most importantly, the function performing the clone may not be so explicit about it (e.g. an "update" function that returns a different copy of the object).
The reality is that you can create a great product that engages with users, using transparent processes that can be tinkered by and with a ton of free customization features, you will lose a huge amount of market share to a competitor with a more simple interface (and probably a less efficient and more complex machinery behind it).
> As someone who is constantly learning new things to try and stay current, fights for the right to repair and uses FOSS whenever possible, I just can't get behind the thinking that brings is to the conclusion that marketers should be making these kinds of decisions based on convenience.
You and marketers have very different priorities and targets, of course they don't reach your same conclusion
There is not much of a difference in considering it deterministic or not, because we can't determine it.
In Europe iOS has a big market share, but Android is still the most used.
After acquiring Evernote in 2023 and Filming in 2022, this year already acquired Issuu, StreamYard and was into talks about acquiring Vimeo
