Aren't RSS feeds a pull mechanism for end users? With social media, it ends up acting like a push to the user so that they get notifications in "near-realtime", which would be important for events like flash floods.
idmontie··on Anytype – local-first, P2P Notion alternative
"There's no browser version of the app. Anytype is a stand-alone software, that works on desktop or mobile devices. There are many points of vulnerability in-browser apps that would compromise our commitment to data security and encryption."

What does this even mean? How does having a mobile app mean more security than a web app?

Are they worried about browser extensions? Or is this just an excuse not to host on the web?

It's just a method definition using a globally defined symbol instead of your own method name which may clash with existing "dispose" implementations.

Agreed it's a little weird if you haven't been using variables as method names before though.

idmontie··on Show HN: No more copy-pasting – a ChatGPT plugin to read code from your computer
Reminds me of a little vscode extension I wrote for myself to integrate ChatGPT into my projects. I didn't do a great job with documentation, but you can reference other files within comments to send them as context. So something like

/* Write tests for [xyz/(./xyz.ts) using [abc tests](./abc.spec.ts) as an example to reference

@ChatGPT */

Reference: https://github.com/CapsuleCat/sora-by-capsule-cat

I'll have to check out how your version pulls in the project as context.

Thankfully these cats do not exist. I'm just seeing nightmare floofs.
idmontie··on Ask HN: How do you deploy your weekend project in 2022?
I usually just use terraform to deploy to AWS with some additional scripts to rsync files from the CI/CD pipeline.

At this point I just have a template to do it and reuse it in my various projects.

If I don't need a server, I usually just use the Serverless framework.

Does the name have any special meaning?
idmontie··on Tell HN: Interviewed with Triplebyte? Your profile is about to become public
Thanks, I could not find this link when I logged into the app. I would have assumed this option would be under the profile page.
