gcoda··on GPT-3 APIs are now in public beta
I know about gpt-j, can you name worthy clones/alternatives?
gcoda··on Ribbon filter: Practically smaller than Bloom and Xor
there is also sources used for benchmark, mentioned in paper. https://github.com/pdillinger/fastfilter_cpp/tree/dev/src/ri...
gcoda··on Excessive line breaks are bad
After missing some errors in long lines during code review, i feel like <60 should be the target. side by side diffs are most common view for me in 'github flow'
gcoda··on Syntax Highlighting Is Backwards (2018)
For a few month i am using minimal, black on white theme, some keywords are bold, strings a bit grayish, comments are bold and blue. When i opened a JSX file, i really wanted one more color, still considering.
gcoda··on Lesser Known Coding Fonts
i used it for long time, got exposed to go-mono from this list, serif for code, giving it a try
gcoda··on Show HN: Stack – Use all your apps at the same time on 1 screen
how about gnome with paperwm extension?
gcoda··on Show HN: GraphQL Zeus – Autocomplete GraphQL Queries in JavaScript and TS
Can babel plugin transpile this to whatever ApolloClient.query consumes?
gcoda··on A Navy veteran refused to accept a ‘no’ to his battery invention
If it is not possible to manufacture those cells on site, at home or at charging/swapping station he should probably give up. But entropy... more energy you pack, more it wants to get out.

if you can pack 10x more energy in the same size as lithium cells and they wont explode on damage, maybe there will be some benefit to making whole delivery network for aluminum cells

gcoda··on Older Americans are alone half their waking hours, on average
i bet you are not alone if you consider online messaging.
gcoda··on DeepMind’s StarCraft II agent will play anonymously on battle.net
Effective APM limits is not enough.

No human can maximize target firing before each shot like AlphaStar did. Not a lot of people even talked about it

gcoda··on Desktop Neo – rethinking the desktop interface for productivity
Yeah kinda, after years on tiling WMs i feel almost comfortable with gnome+paperwm
gcoda··on WebAssembly on the Server: How System Calls Work
after tying wasm in cloudflare workers i started experimenting with isolated-vm and v8env from superfly(fly.io)

it really feels like future of lambda\cloud functions

gcoda··on Syntax highlighters are wrong (2014)
There is awesome plugin for VSCode, Better Comments. I disabled most of highlighting in syntax, rainbow brackets and better comments is more than enough
gcoda··on Show HN: EdgeDB – Next generation database
This is really good to hear. Thank you
gcoda··on Show HN: EdgeDB – Next generation database
I got lots of question, got bit excited while glancing thru docs.

What is the minimal system requirements? And what about partitioning, replication, event log, etc.

Is there a native way hook to graphql resolvers? I really like it either way, there some tools for composing and stitching schemas.

plans for hosted and managed solution?

Did you consider "pageInfo" type, maybe it is just me, but it proved very useful on frontend.

instead of `Movies: [Movie]`

    Movies {
      pageInfo: PageInfo # { hasNextPage, endCursor }
      nodes: [Movie]
    }
gcoda··on Hacking your face to dodge the rise of facial recognition tech
i am sure that in a few years most of people will hide face behind AR mask anyway.

but there is lots of ways to recognize people against their will, combination of height walking style, radio signals from wearables, and maybe even odor

gcoda··on Write good git commit messages
"if applied, this commit will" Works like code comments, and i feel how it helps daily when using gitlens vscode plugin.
gcoda··on Show HN: DomTerm – a web-based rich terminal emulator and console
It is either my isp, or this site got some malicious js that reidirects me to wierd places from my android device
gcoda··on Why Kubernetes Is the New Application Server
Why wait for future? You can deploy openfaas on kubernetes, i belive there is more serverless projects you can deploy on k8s cluster
gcoda··on Please Stop Using Adblock (But Not Why You Think)
Where? I am using it on android and linux, with js disabled by default. Aside from brave tokens notifications, they are monthly, i see no interruptions
gcoda··on Ask HN: Best development laptop?
I have msi phantom. Not the best Linux support. It works, and I can have some fun with GPU. Depends on what you developing, having some fun with CUDA is beneficial for me.

2kg. 14inch. Not nerfed CPU with lots of RAM and small battery.

I am thinking now of getting Microsoft Surface, to have a more portable alternative, But Termux on Android is enough for now

gcoda··on When I use classes, when I don’t, what I do instead and why
I feel you, but sometimes, I am using

    var that = this
just to be sure
gcoda··on Ask HN: What tech stack is in demand, and why?
Current form of "server less" is not that useful to most people. Not talking about proprietary tech, AWS is good, but considering Amazon web services as a profession sounds really distopian
gcoda··on Self-Control Relies on Glucose as a Limited Energy Source (2007)
Liver can manufacture glucose to negate some of points you make. But i am skeptical too, this might be withdrawal symptoms.

Since i started no sugar, no carbs diet my self control improved a lot, but that maybe self-deception

gcoda··on Termux: terminal emulator and Debian-style userland as an Android app
how about running OpenSSH inside docker with bind mounts?
gcoda··on Termux: terminal emulator and Debian-style userland as an Android app
nodejs, vuejs and webpack, android splitscreen, live development on my phone like a charm, also got neet colors, and widgets to launch scripts. Awesome project, i was surprised that it worked 'out of the box'
gcoda··on MNT Reform: DIY portable computer
Grid is a bit more intuitive for me, i am not sure how curves and arcs will do for me, grid is really easy mental map, befor this grid keyboard i was not 10-finger typist, now i am, even on regular keyboards.

Biggest downside of regular keyboard - spacebar lots of useless space, put 5 buttons instead of one, your thumb can push a lot of buttons while other fingers do not leave home row, make 2 of them space, shift, ctrl, backspace buttons under your thumb. This is main reason ErgoDox or Kinesis are good, and regular backspace and return key position sucks, keeping index finger on J while pressing Backspace with pinky is a challenge that moves your palm.

gcoda··on MNT Reform: DIY portable computer
i have DIY ortholinear keyboard. 1x1 spacebar, and lots of usefull buttons under my thumb, i was thinking about making it low powered portable device which can work as a regular keyboard, onion or raspberry with small powerbank an 7" screen. I really hate modern laptop keyboards, we can make them so much more usefull and convenient, but yet, all fancy new devices come with ancient typewriter layout which was result compromise resulted from engineering and mechanical challenges. We have no mechanical challenges now, but still using misaligned, less usable keyboards, why?

Pure opensource device would be really nice, i am not willing to waste money on MS Surface(it can run linux well, and i can use my keyboard with it) or experiment with low powered cheap raspberry, should be enough for typing notes, communication, and vim, something more powerful with proper keyboard, or just a tablet would be perfect for me

gcoda··on What is Nix and why you should try it
For my practical reasons I can not use pure GNU distributions, I am not aware of easy community way to re use packages for other distro or something hacky like that. Not everyone have brainpower and time to build custom packages for rare distro, it is a shame, I really like Guix. NixOS got some recepies for using not 100% libre software.
gcoda··on Finish your stuff
That is how market works, people not satisfied with sitting experience and constantly trying to improve on that, yet QWERTY layout is still in use by 99.9%, it is enough to satisfy typing needs and good enough experience so nothing changes for ages.
