There are no tools that you use at work that are open source and that you wish had just _this_ feature or _that_ feature?

most of programming languages and tooling are open-source these days, even the more enterprisey stuff. Or, at least, they have Open Source alternatives.

The other thing to do is to find a girlfriend, marry her and have kids. THAT will take a LOT of your time.

Google tells me there is something called ProcessMaker, I have never used it personally

In banking, Camunda is increadibly popular.

You model state changes visually. The model - the diagram with boxes and arrows - IS the code. And then the boxes can have additional code logic in them.

It's a giant pain to work in and debug. But the execs love it because they want to see the diagrams.

Don't hate on the author.

He heard a hype (sqlite), decided to try it to see what is it about, found out it's not for him really, wrote a bit blurb about it on his blog.

I don't follow e-girls so I don't know Alex Hormozi but yeah it seems like that.

The whole site seems very... off to me. The basic functionality makes sense (have a forum with paid component, sort of like substack merged with reddit? ok); but all the top communities look like borderline scam/mlm

Does it depend on linux functionality or can I use it on macos?

Well I can just try :)

What is Skool? Is Skool the thing that you built? Or is it just a forum? I don't understand what I am looking at sorry

edit:

ok for everyone else:

skool seems like a community forum, where everyone can create their own community, sort of like reddit (?), except the top communities all seems a little... scammy and off

https://www.skool.com/

IndieHackers was some forum for ... indie hackers. That closed.

This is someone opening a new forum on skool that is named IndieHackers, but is otherwise un-affiliated with the old indiehackers.

They have an effective monopoly.

Chromium is basically everything important anyway; Chrome is some sprinkle on top (I think some DRM stuff?)

This is a textbook definition of bikeshedding though

Huh I didn't know that Mozilla Ventures exist.

Well, okay

The talk about correctness gets me thinking.

If there is a difference between how specs define something, and how browsers behave (and website expect them to behave), will you choose technical correctness or websites actually functioning?

Technically this has been the big problem of HTML5 vs XHTML, and "technical correctness" lost to actual usability.

The guy used to work for Apple at WebKit team.

So he knows that corporations can take open source browsers and make it proprietary.

I hate vimscript. vimscript is a horrible language.

One of my colleagues was using dvorak and arguing that because he types faster with it, he's a better programmer.

i never thought typing speed is all that important when you code. But he DID write crazy fast.

And it's fine. Do what works for you. I just don't think playing with editor endlessly is a well spent time. It makes you feel like you do actual work when you don't. In my opinion.

The one thing I disagree is the thing about editors.

When I began coding I spent hours tweaking my vimrc file and learning all the essentially random shortcuts, and dealing with the absurdities of vimscript. (and debugging vim plugins that broke each other.) It felt like actual work while I was producing nothing.

Now I just open vscode with default settings and I am productive right away. Who cares about editors, vscode is good enough.

But maybe just vim sucks and I should have been playing with emacs all along, I don't know.

I have to say I forgot that one. All I remember from Numbers is the numbers. All right

That's just to make them fall asleep

Just read them Leviticus and Deuteronomy

Can he now go join Snowden in Moscow?

I'm always somewhat scared - not sure if rationally or irrationally - about cosmopolitan.

It's a cool hack but I somehow feel like it should not work.

The VHS were pretty underwhelming, which I could tell even as a kid

I still have amazing memories of playing with Dorling Kindersley CD ROMs as a kid

The Way Things Work.

Encyclopedia of Space and Universe.

Encyclopedia of Nature.

And looking back at those on YouTube, they were pretty great! There is nothing like that in iPad era for kids. What comes close are those interactive iBooks that Apple tried to push when iBooks were new, but they never really caught on

I think you missed the point of the article.

It's not meant as a criticism of ChatGPT and some LLMs, more like a criticism of corporate drones and "thought leaders" that latch on latest hype instead of fixing their core problems.

They live in the house and help with the children. The woman then have more time and can have another job.

It's not a new concept, it was common in Europe too. The concept of children leaving at 20-ish and then just being away the rest of their life is what is new.

Lidl is a non-profit too btw, funny how it works

The random mention of AI is a bit comical, but it's 2024 so we need that.

Simplifying engineering effort and merging the stacks, that I can understand.

Huh, didn't they JUST shoved it to people's faces with that thing that saves everything you do forever?

Why don't the affected brands - who are being hurt by this - sue Google?

End-users might sue them too, but Google is more afraid of Disney suing them than random nobody
