  • It's interesting that LLMs emotionally saved them, allowing them to bounce back from a destructive to a constructive mindset.

    Reading another post of theirs, they seem to really love AI. Albeit in that post, it feels to me like they took AI responses too literally, with too much meaning (as if sentient, or ignoring potential training bias, etc).

  • Do you mean self-host on your own hardware and infrastructure? At home? Otherwise you'd still be dependent on the server or infrastructure providers.

  • However, we believe that by concentrating our resources, we can provide users with more professional, stable, and comprehensive commercial-grade services and support."

    I found this formulation a bit funny. When you suddenly have to pay, it becomes “commercial-grade” by definition.

  • That subheadline though…

    Headline: "x or y?"Subheadline: "Spoiler: Yes."

    🤨

    Why even add a subheadline when it only makes sense with the content.

  • Do you see downsides to learning it?

    If you can, do it. It's common enough to be [potentially] useful. If you don't have a concrete need, then it's not necessary, though.

  • 1 C

    2 Pascal

    When you add a dot after the number it becomes a numbered lists and you don't have use a paragraph for each line.

    Alternatively, you can use a backslash (\) or two spaces ( ) at the end of a line to use a line-break so you can but one line after the other instead of requiring paragraphs.

  • Discuss with your team management how to handle this.

    • Guard and test against breakage of the interfacing (it's an investment, but necessary without other solutions)
    • Define requirements and actions you can stand by and reject for and and revert by
    • Whether they want to tackle it on their management level (talking to the other teams or up etc); agree on timelines, requirements, milestones, and failure conditions regarding this

    For this discussion collecting the impacts, in terms of labor cost, labor motivation, short and long term cost, repeated helping-out cost to your teams tasks, etc can underline significance.

  • Why is it called toll booth simulator (primary title) when most of it is not toll booth handling/gameplay?

    • excited to share
    • to the Developer Portal (as if it were only a dev portal interface and not subscription or established flow changes)
    • designed to elevate YOUR experience
    • designed to ensure YOU get the most from them
    • to better support YOUR development needs
    • more powerful platform
    • more streamlined platform
    • to suit every stage of YOUR journey
    • Discontinuation of Free Limited Trial Packages

    Yep, completely dishonest corporate double-speak - and not just in the word “excited”.

  • What makes this URL an API?

    Do they disclose it as free use anywhere?

  • Funny how three comments that follow, by other people, do not get such a comment by the bot.

    It also seems like the comment addresses a commenter, not the PR creator, so saying "you may resubmit after fixing" makes no sense. Post the comment again?

  • Forgejo will now transform fediverse handles (ex. @forgejo@floss.social and !forgejo@programming.dev) into links to https://fedirect.toolforge.org/, a website hosted by Wikimedia, to redirect fediverse handles to their respective URLs via Webfinger. Forgejo is working on implementing proper federated mentions that will also notify users on other federated services, which the redirection does not do.

  • OpenGL is an API standard. It defines data structures, operation interfaces, and behavior.

    Mesa 3D is an implementation of OpenGL. It can be used so users of OpenGL can call it to draw stuff.

    Vulkan is a newer API standard. It is newer and was designed with a lot of new hardware and hardware capabilities in mind, and significantly reduced what the job of the API is supposed to do compared to OpenGL. Essentially giving API users many more opportunities to control graphics pipeline behavior for better efficiency and performance. Libraries and frameworks exist that provide more convenience and prepared setup or opinionated usage patterns on top of Vulkan.

    DirectX had a similar shift with DirectX version 12, which also implemented closer-to-hardware APIs similar to Vulkan vs OpenGL.

    /edit: Noteworthy are also OpenGL and Vulkan extensions. They extend the core API with additional APIs. An app can check if they are supported, and if the driver supports it, can use them.

  • I value choosing between two styles by feel for improving readability and conciseness.

    For example, allowing one-liner early-returns if they are concise enough. If they are not, they must be multi-line with a block with curly braces. There's no linter rule that defines what "simple enough" is, and most linters don't do rules with condition either.

  • It's not OpenAI putting their AI into products though. It's other companies and CEOs.

  • Web is just one kind of frontend though. And there's more ways to target web with JavaScript interfacing than transpiling to JavaScript.

  • Why is single line comments listed when it's green for all of them? Do they not have multi-line comments?
