I disagree. What I could hack over a weekend starting a project, I can do in a couple hours with AI, because starting a project is where the typing bottleneck is, due to all of the boilerplate. I can’t type faster than an LLM.
Also, because there are hundreds of similar projects out there and I won’t get to the parts that make mine unique in a weekend, that’s the perfect use case for “vibe coding”.
what are sections, chapters, indices? Who’s the librarian?
we don’t need to go all the way into a metaphor
you haven’t seen my frontend code
potentially relevant: paperless recently merged some opt-in LLM features, like chatting with documents and automated title generation based on the OCR context extracted.
Python stack traces give you all files involved in the error, with their lines. I don’t know what you’re talking about
how’s that the same thing as in the picture?
The waste of power is often associated to the proof of work consensus, but that’s not a requirement of blockchain. There are other ways to create consensus.
The bandwidth requirements really depend on what’s being stored, but it’s usually very manageable for a server. And clients not running validation don’t need to store or transfer that much data.
git itself is really not far from a blockhain. Blockchain is fine, it only has a bad rep because of ponzi schemes that use it to create crypto, but the technology and trustless consensus mechanisms are interesting.
but seriously, we need project management features that are decentralized: issue tracking, kanban, code reviews w/ comments, and ways to extend functionality without relying on a git forge.
it’s fine to prefer less colors, but man, that (2025) blog post is all over the place…
Sometimes it gets so bad one can’t see the base text color: everything is highlighted. What’s the base text color here?
why does the base color matter at all? What is “base” anyway when every word has a syntactic meaning?
Here’s a quick test. Try to find the function definition here:
It’s funny to see how this test backfired depending on the person in hacker news, lobster, and lemmy threads. Clearly a personal preference phrased as absolute truth.
But the crux of why the post doesn’t make sense is assuming this would matter at all:
Here’s another test. Close your eyes (not yet! Finish this sentence first) and try to remember what color your color theme uses for class names?
Can you?
If the answer for both questions is “no”, then your color theme is not functional.
No, it doesn’t. And it boggles my mind why someone would think that failing to recall colors-to-syntax pairs would mean the theme has failed you. Visualizing colors, more often than not, is not even a conscious effort. Colors are a subtle aid to guide your attention to the parts that matter.
Can you see it? I misspelled return for retunr and its color switched from red to purple.
This would/should be better caught by a static checker anyway.
But the best part is that the post contradicts itself: the suggested minimal theme doesn’t even address that typo use case mentioned above, because it doesn’t feature a distinct color for special keywords. So if one were to follow the post’s advice, return and retunr would look exactly the same, making it worse than the colorful theme it criticizes.
it’s larger than one, also likely larger than nvidia Jetson and some firewalls out there. The record is for the smallest PC capable of running a 100B model LLM locally.
The specs are impressive tbh, but the record is a bit… specific
no problem. I can see that, at the same time, the directory of the place I work at has 20x that number and finding someone is never an issue, so I also don’t bother cleaning up my local list.
of course most are not used, that is fine, I don’t understand why anyone would bother deleting “unused” contacts
I have over 800 and I’m not even a salesperson or anything like that; that’s mostly from exchanged emails over the years
my bad, I thought this was a wendy’s
I’m not complaining, I’m stating an observation. You seem the one bothered
any language that allows ternary conditionals
