Blogger from Google.

Elon can be quite the polarizing individual but the hate and pessimism is just too much and frankly down right embarrassing.
sourcecodeplz··on I don’t want to sign up for your newsletter (2018)
They do it because it works. Many people on the internet are not tech savvy and they just assume that in order to view the content they must input their email. It doesn't help that the close button is sometimes barely visible.
sourcecodeplz··on Hetzner’s New AX102 Dedicated Server with AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D
For me, the best value prop from Hetzner are their managed servers.

That's because of Wordpress, but still.

Amazing website.

Dynamic is what you build with PHP.
sourcecodeplz··on How to become a “designer who codes” (2019)
This guy frucks!
sourcecodeplz··on PHP Popularity: Is it decreasing and what to do about it?
PHP is still what I use for my personal projects. Sublime + SFTP plugin & any shared hosting (all also give at least 1 MySQL). Phpmyadmin I know with my eyes closed but can also default to a static db like SQLite.

It is very fast for me to start, test & itterate.

I've also tried Node but idk sometimes it can hugg memory and even crash, which just never happened with PHP.

It is a little sad but I don't really care anymore because I am not doing client work anymore.

Edit: just to add that I also never really could stand promises in async execution. Such a headache.

Edit 2: also can you believe it that with Node, the script is also the server??? Who in their right mind thought this was a good idea? Like when the script crashed, it crashed the whole app for everyone.

sourcecodeplz··on Stephen King hasn't subscribed to Twitter Blue
I feel this is turning more and more into that Straisand effect.
sourcecodeplz··on Saving Instagram images automatically every hour with Node.js or PHP
Thanks for this. I'm on mobile but how does it work? I see your service there, do you use proxies or have access to the API?
sourcecodeplz··on SpaceX Starship rocket explodes minutes after launch from Texas
It definitely wasn't a failure. Have you people even watched the stream? That thing was huge, it barely got off the ground.

Congrats to the SpaceX team and to America really, whole world was watching.

sourcecodeplz··on Philly cheesesteaks became big in Lahore
Hypocritical much? The entitlement is strong in this one. Unbelievable really!
sourcecodeplz··on $11,000 EV unveiled by BYD
For city use sure, otherwise looks like a death-trap when compared with standard US vehicle sizes and mass...
sourcecodeplz··on NSO developed 3 new ways to hack iPhones, Citizen Lab says
If anyone is this concerned there is always the option to downgrade to a dumb phone. Or the classical landline.
sourcecodeplz··on Microsoft is using illegal bribes in the Middle East and Africa
> illegal bribes

Are there also legal bribes?

sourcecodeplz··on New NASA Director Swears Oath on Carl Sagan’s ‘Pale Blue Dot’ Instead of Bible
I don't get it. The point on swearing on the bible is that God (karma, the universe, a higher power) will judge/punish you if you act evil.

This is just silly / virtue signaling.

sourcecodeplz··on Substack Notes Launched
But teh videoz need be shoorts
sourcecodeplz··on Legs and knobs for IKEA and other furniture
There is no worse quality furniture than IKEA. There is no real wood, just sawdust and glue. It just "looks" nice. But even those looks don't compare with the shine of real wood.
sourcecodeplz··on The best kimchi is made in earthenware pots
Just boil some water, add some vinegar and some spices, and pour over the cabbage. That's it. Will it taste the same as kimchi? About 90%.
sourcecodeplz··on Ask Wirecutter: Can you recommend a not-smart TV for me?
This is so silly lmao. You are wirecutting but now you want non-smart?

Cable WAS non-smart. Wirecutting and streaming by definition is smart bwahaha :))

sourcecodeplz··on Are Chainless Digital Drive Bicycles the Future of Cycling?
50% is actually not that bad tbh, was expecting something like 20%.

I expect this to be a tool for training rather than transportation.

sourcecodeplz··on I’m a doctor: Here’s what I found when I asked ChatGPT to diagnose my patients
Omg stop with this ridiculousness ffs. I get and love AI but some areas should be off limits: doctors, judges, airplane pilots, train conductors...

Soon enough no one will even know how to write, just read, because ChatGPT will write everything.

sourcecodeplz··on Neural Networks: Zero to Hero
I am at graphwiz now and it is getting better and better.

Also using ChatGTP to ask questions where I don't get something.

Wow what a time we live in to learn things.

sourcecodeplz··on Neural Networks: Zero to Hero
This is really cool and I am so glad my math teacher was a hard ball and I still remember some Calculus.

edit: Python really was/is made for this numbers/calculation/visualization thing. Kinda kicking myself now for not investing more in it and sticking with PHP, although PHP has its merits when building different things, Python is a beast with numbers.

sourcecodeplz··on Our Approach to AI Safety
> Our large language models are trained on a broad corpus of text that includes publicly available, licensed content

I wonder how they licensed all those websites that had no license information, making them by default copyrighted.

sourcecodeplz··on CAN Injection: Keyless car theft
You could use a basic flat-head screwdriver for both the door and ignition ... Unreal really
sourcecodeplz··on Using Wake on LAN (WOL) Across the Internet (2010)
There was also a time where seconds after installing Windows XP and plugging the Ethernet, your PC would get infected. No browsing, no nothing.
