mcdirty··on Phoenix.new – Remote AI Runtime for Phoenix
Is the site down?
mcdirty··on Phoenix.new – Remote AI Runtime for Phoenix
This is great. I had to back out of a phoenix project and rewrite it in Django because I couldn't get good AI assistance. I'm pretty inexperienced with Elixir and Phoenix but understand the benefits enough to want to make projects in it. So this is really cool.
mcdirty··on Plain – a web framework for building products with Python
Tbh why should I use this over Django? Less docs and knowledge around it. Less maintainers. Idk seems like a business risk to invest real time in it for me
mcdirty··on What's the case for naturally mined diamonds anymore?
Thank you. So many pay wall links these days.
mcdirty··on Blockbench – A low-poly 3D model editor
Currently incompatible from the main repo for blender 3.x, there are forks but YMMV.

I had high hopes for Sprytile, but it seems to have not kept up with the 3.x transition. https://jeiel.itch.io/sprytile
mcdirty··on Ask HN: Where to meet people who are interested in building a company together?
Idk, I've been dumb enough to do this twice now.
mcdirty··on I built an open-source, AI-powered solar panel that's 95% optimal
I'll just leave this here...

mcdirty··on AI training method exceeds GPT-3 performance with fewer parameters
I just wish I had the vocabulary to truly appreciate what's going on here.
mcdirty··on CRDTs are the future
I literally closed the article after reading the first blurb, because it wasn't explained. Just started googling.

I'm sure folks are going to pay their rents on time... Just sure of it /sic

This shit is scary

Snoozefest
mcdirty··on Chime, a Go Editor for macOS – v1.0 Now Available
Disappointing this is only for macOS. For the time being I'm stuck with Goland from Jetbrains or VSCode. I applaud the effort though. The ecosystem could use far more options.
mcdirty··on Don’t buy the MacBook Pros even on sale, in my opinion
I can't believe the amount of people who don't realize the Lenovo X1 Carbon (version 6) is the powerhouse computer they've all been looking for. It's linux compatible for devs. The only reason most devs are tied to OSX is because of tooling. Mainly brew.

I bought the new x1 carbon and am never looking back to Apple.

mcdirty··on Real-time updates without JavaScript
And someone wrote a script to overload it. ~Nice Try~ :D
mcdirty··on TerrariaClone – An incomprehensible hellscape of spaghetti code
I did a 3 month contract working on porting Terraria (the actual game) from XNA to Unity and updating things like UI from sprite batching etc.

Coincidentally and fwiw, the actual source code to Terraria was also a hellscape of spaghetti code.

mcdirty··on New Distros Coming to Bash/WSL via Windows Store
I initially had problems with max character length for paths. When npm installed dependencies really deep down, Windows became unable to move or delete such files. I think it's been fixed with Yarn's flat dependency structure, which I think npm has also gone or is going to in the near future.
