hotpocket777··on Show HN: I wanted better book recommendations – so I made Lorekeep
This seems, at least at the surface, to be strictly worse than going to chatgpt

Do you mean activities like driving a car?
hotpocket777··on Exposing a web service with Cloudflare Tunnel (2022)
I was personally using tailscale funnel (similar?) because my isp didn’t give me a static ip moreso than for any security reason.

Has negative connotations

hotpocket777··on Brut: A New Web Framework for Ruby
> This is just about the most bizarre take on unit testing I've seen in my 25-year career.

Lol ok

> you are entirely defeating the point of testing

We will disagree here

> only assert that the current implementation is equal to the current implementation

I didn’t state that I do this

hotpocket777··on Brut: A New Web Framework for Ruby
_in your opinion_

My opinion is, _my unit tests_ are to protect my code against unwanted changes. To that end, unit tests test a single unit. And everything is mocked. If I have to rewrite a method, usually I rewrite all of its unit tests. Which is fine. They’re easy to write or rewrite.

Fully mocked unit tests are then supplemented with fewer “full stack” tests higher up the pyramid.

More than a little
hotpocket777··on NASA's Voyager Found a 30k-50k Kelvin "Wall" at the Edge of Solar System
Well, not a surprise. They predicted it before measuring it.
hotpocket777··on WhatsApp introduces ads in its app
On iPhone, it is. Can set “limited access” for contacts just as you can for photos.
hotpocket777··on Ruby on Rails Audit Complete
> Also, it seems like every Ruby programmer I know only ever uses other dynamic languages like Python. It’s never like they’re experts in C++ or something and then decided to start programming in Ruby.

Can you expand on what you’re saying here or why you’re raising this is as an issue with ruby the language or rails the library?

So it wasn’t really implemented correctly then.
hotpocket777··on Show HN: Zli – A Batteries-Included CLI Framework for Zig
What is a “CLI framework”?
hotpocket777··on Show HN: Visual flow-based programming for Erlang, inspired by Node-RED
That is not true at all. Concurrency is a way of writing programs and is an orthogonal concern to how the program gets executed.
hotpocket777··on GPT-4.5
It’s not a quote. It is an interpretation or reading of a quote.

hotpocket777··on Fair Pricing
On iOS at least, Apple does not allow custom search engines in Safari and does not list kagi. So the kagi app redirects requests to a different one. Feels gross and dumb.

hotpocket777··on Htmx 2.0.4 Released
Not guaranteed, no. Thankfully.

Chrome does, however, if the “resume where i left off” setting is enabled.

hotpocket777··on Running Durable Workflows in Postgres Using DBOS
Does DBOS offer a way to get messages in or data out of running workflows? (Similar to signals/queries in Temporal) Interested in long-running workflows, and this particular area seemed to be lacking last time I looked into it.

I don’t want to just sleep; I want a workflow to be able to respond to an event.

hotpocket777··on My second year without a job
I don’t know if I follow. So starving yourself alone in a van is a better use of time and money than going on adventures with friends? To what end?
hotpocket777··on Speeding up Ruby by rewriting C in Ruby
Is it possible that those two statements taken together means truffleruby can run rails 8?
