Sure you gotta put some AI for the executives.

But there's nice stuff under performance and security.

Ctrl+F gemini returns only 2.

@dang change this clickbait headline. original title is " Android 17 is here". I suggest "Android 17 is here - Android Developers Blog" since its a dev focused post.

I find that most arguments are endlessly rehashed. I would be like if most AI related discussion limited to maximum 2 / 3 most important news per day.

you can? that's why go.sum exists. you can also use the replace directive for more advanced scenarios.

Yeah; I have a minimal vimrc with cursorline, wrap, line number, some other option to make arrow keys jump to next line from end. I set a different colorscheme on each machine when I have to deal with multiple machines. That's it.

Or you know, you can architect around testability from the beginning, where multiple branches / instances of same application can run in the same cluster - in different namespaces.

I am fine with them training on my open source code (which is pretty bad but not the point, because they're providing the service for free). I will be super pissed if I pay for enterprise and they train on it though. I believe this is the opinion of majority programmers.

never_inline··on Show HN: Ithihāsas – a character explorer for Hindu epics, built in a few hours
Dude, that sort of transmission is only applicable to the four vedas (and even they exist in rescensions, some have later insertions eg: Maitrayani samhita, and the meter is generally lost due to language shifts). When you say "Vedic" those are the texts which count. Rāmāyana and Mahabhārata are not really "vedic" nor subject to such accurate transmission rules.

So they exist in many rescensions across India each with their own edits and interpolations. Some attempt has been made to create "critical" editions by taking the intersection of existing manuscripts but since there's no expectation of fidelity in transmission, we will never know what the original stories were.

So you can get even the western indologists to agree the battle of 10 kings mentioned in Rigveda very likely happened, and a Vasishtha and a Vishwamitra and a Trasadasyu existed in real life. However the epics leave out or conflict in many details with the aforementioned Vedic texts. Eg: a shantanu finds mention in Rigveda, a Parikshit and Janamejaya are mentioned in later samhitas. However there's no mention of pāndavas, kāuravas or a grand scale war. Neither there is a mention of a vyāsa / krishna dvaipayana in vasishtha's lineage in the accurately transmitted texts. It's very difficult to take Mahābhārata as an accurate historical document.

1. Is this actually based on any textual analysis or just AI generated? The popular understanding of the epic material is rather poor and the AI is stupid on it.

Eg: Indra would have a much larger role in original versions of mahābhārata and rāmāyana compared to Hindu popular conscience. In Ramayana he defeated kabandha, lent weapons to Rāma, and the hero is frequently compared to him as "Indra among men" - making him technically the most mentioned God in Valmiki's text (https://manasataramgini.wordpress.com/2017/02/12/the-ramaya%...).

In Mahabharata he fights equally with the krishna-arjuna in the burning of khandava episode until a truce is reached (and for reasons beyond the present redactions of the epic and owing to his prominence as ārya national god, the new capital of pāndavas is named.... Indraprastha!).

This kind of stuff is virtually unknown to AI, which reinforces the present pop understanding of the epics, which is to say super shallow and not very interesting.

You might want to try this, one step ahead of Ctrl+K

Define the interface and functions and let the AI fill in the blanks.

Eg: I want XYZ class with methodFoo and methodBar which connects to APIabcd and fetch details. Define classes for response types based on API documentation at ...., use localLibraryXYZ for ABCD.

This is the way I found to work well for me. I maintain a tight grip over the architecture, even the low level architecture, and LLM writes code I can't be bothered to write.

I find tab completions very irritating. They're "almost" correct but miss some detail. I'd rather review all of that at once rather than when writing code.

I don't know what you meant by pausable background threads in IPython, but if anyone is trying out - I have had some success with VSCode + IPython: https://mahesh-hegde.github.io/posts/vscode-ipython-debuggin... -

(you can theoretically pass "reload": true (or similar option) in launch.json for auto reload, tho I haven't felt the need to use that in my workflows.)

I am no web developer but whenever I built the UIs, re-rendering a page by doing some big DOM change through JS as always led to stutter. So maybe its just inefficient and can't be optimised.

I fix it by micromanaging it. Which class, method, function, module - I dictate the low level structure and features. I dump my all my hard earned coding opinions in a profoundly crafted markdown file.

UBO also let's you limit attachment size. Eg you can configure it to block anything larger than 100KB. Not sure what it does without Content-Length header though.
never_inline··on Java 26 is here
> Unlike in (say) Python, where annotations are effectively functions wrapping the function they annotate, in java they're more akin to a customisable preprocessor.

I find that Python decorators can do as much magic as an annotation processor - due to the dynamism of Python. Annotation processors, in most cases, produce a new class based on annotations on existing class / interface. The injection of that class is done by the DI container (unless it's a standalone annotation processor like mapstruct).

> And using any modern framework relies on these a lot.

To be fair to language designers, it's hard to avoid code generators. And they're a compelling thing compared to building proxy objects / DI / decorator / dataclass etc.. kind of functionality in language and getting it wrong.

> ... then you have to dig into source to figure out

Agree. It's not a "boring technology" yet.

> For all it's called micronaut, the produced packages are pretty huge.

How huge? And jlink or graal vm? Just curious.

> A lot of this seems to be down to hibernate,

With micronaut atleast, I remember using Micronaut Data JDBC. Anything is better than hibernate.

> In general I think that serverless is such a different paradigm from a long-running server.

Agreed.

never_inline··on Java 26 is here
It was a while back (when I was a worse programmer) I found both Micronaut and Quarkus dev experience more palatable than spring.

what did you dislike? Pervasive DI? Annotations? configuration mess?

never_inline··on Show HN: Oxyde – Pydantic-native async ORM with a Rust core
1. AI Slop Post

2. """You define Pydantic models for your API, then define separate ORM models for your database, then write converters between them.""" So you could've written something that let you convert between two. That would not warrant a whole new ORM.

3. """But infrastructure stuff like SQL generation, connection pooling, and row serialization is where a systems language makes sense."""

This makes no sense to me (except row serialization - maybe, but you're incurring a messagepack overhead instead). Unnecessary native dependency.
