  I really hope Cloudflare doesn’t eventually evolve into a shitty ass company, so far I like them very much, and all this massive L for AI only improves my opinion on them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anyone else guilty of this?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Correct, it’s about giving them a wider perspective. Also I’m teaching them that scummy games that push micro transactions on you with manipulative shit should be avoided, or at least being conscious about their manipulative shit. In the end you can’t make them not play Minecraft, but there is a difference between Java and Bedrock

  This is the closer humans get to being kicked off the nest to learn to fly lol.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Rockstar Games Working Closely With Remedy Entertainment on Max Payne 1 & 2 Remake⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, Rockstar did Max Payne 3 dirty on this, but AFAIK Remedy and Sam Lake weren’t involved. Remedy did use Sam likeness in Alan Wake, so you might be right.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Rockstar Games Working Closely With Remedy Entertainment on Max Payne 1 & 2 Remake⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Unless they make Max Payne in the likeness of Sam Lake, I don’t want it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨GitHub is no longer independent at Microsoft after CEO resignation⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is the most infuriating, heartbreaking and lame thing ever. AI bros are just a bunch of losers ruining stuff for everyone.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨GitHub is no longer independent at Microsoft after CEO resignation⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m in the process of moving mine to self host, I’ll put a guide with the steps I’m following so others can follow them. It’s really good that git basically provides the thing out of the box. This is ok for most of my use cases which are private repos, or shared with small groups of friends. For public projects, I think we still need a way for projects to be easily found, like a directory. Sadly GitHub filled that space, it was ubiquitous. Not even gitlab or bitbucket approached the massive adoption github has. Even some fediverse version of it would probably have a hard time being that massive.

  I can picture some random band from the 2000 with these lyrics

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google Gemini struggles to write code, calls itself “a disgrace to my species”⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s my inner monologue when programming, they just need another layer on top of that and it’s ready.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google Gemini struggles to write code, calls itself “a disgrace to my species”⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, usually comes hand to hand with that mental state. Probably you know only healthy devs

  Like, really? God I feel stupid if it’s that easy

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Creative writing⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Did something similar when I was 11. We had to take inspiration from a picture. The picture in question was that “optical illusion” with the old lady face that kinda looks like a young lady in a dress. I wrote about an old lady that was alone, old her friends and husband dead, all her child far away. She basically contemplated her existence, waiting for her death. Teacher made us read it out loud, when I was done reading, I remember raisin my head an everyone including the teacher had this somber stare, pondering life. It was cool.

  Hear me out, what if we take that LAN idea, but make it wider than just a Local thing? It could be of Metropolitan size, even the whole World. And machines there would be interconnected in a very big network. We could distribute our porn there without uploading our ids. We could even make the fediverse work there.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨KDE Plasma Bigscreen (Android TV alternative) is back from dead⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The thing is without this, if you somehow exit steam, you are toast and need to plug a keyboard or access via ssh. Having a DE with controller support like this would indeed rock, as I stop depending on steam for launching things.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can a Russian pls confirm⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  “Quien te dió vela en este entierro?”, en Argentina. Se puede asumir que es algo de hispanoamerica al menos. Also, maybe it’s better to translate it like “you don’t have a candle in this funeral” maybe? I don’t know if english hold a vigil for the dead like we do. Burial while is a more direct translation, I don’t think it really represents the spirit of the adage.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does vibe coding sort of work at all?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Great summary. I would add not using LLMs to learn something new. As OP mentioned, when you know your stuff, you are aware of how much it bullshits. What happens when you don’t know? You eat all the bullshit because it sounds good. Or you will end up with a vibed codebase you can’t fully understand because you didn’t reason to produce it. It’s like driving a car and having a shitty copilot that sometimes hallucinates roads, and if you don’t know where you are supposed to be, wherever that copilot takes you would look good. You lack the context to judge the results or advice.

  I basically use it now days as a semantic search engine of documentation. Talking with documentation is the coolest. If the response doesn’t come with a doc link, it’s probably not worth it. Make it point to the human input, make it help you find things you don’t know the name of, but never trust the output without judging. In my experience, making it generate code that you end up correcting it’s more cognitive heavy load than to write it yourself from scratch.
