I really wish Google's Wave went somewhere. It was the real solution.

That was the hardest part of learning PHP, all the code examples online were just awful.

I think that is the role speculative fiction, like sci-fi, takes.

In first read I thought this was an operator for k8s, but it is just comparing itself.to k8s as an orchestration system.

Given the water needs of data centers and the ongoing and upcoming water scarcity, I imagine the problem of heat dissipation seems easier to solve, long term, in space.

I had a similar issue recently and was able to convince the AI agent to give me a phone number to talk to a support representative. They manually fixed my accout and key and gtg in a few minutes.

What a PITA it took until I got a human though.

Not a big fan of this kind of promo article that just links to several of their own learning resources instead of giving some actual examples inline.

I've worked in Mongo enough to know that whatever decision I make will end up being wrong.

What i will never understand is why mongo doesn't have some simple means of document referencing that automatically updates documents a doc is embedded in. If it's such an important pattern that every app needs to reinvent for itself, just add it to the system.

I think there is confusion because coding is easy, software engineering is hard.

One of the most important jobs in an institution is knowing things. "Who do I talk to about ...?", "Why is X like this?"

There's a reason Musk brought in younglings to do the illegal stuff. To ignorant to know that in a few years they will be in jail.

New comment by dariusj18 in "Show HN: Python with do..end in place of strict indentation"

dariusj18 — Tue, 14 Jan 2025 01:24:46 +0000

My problem with indentation as significant is when I paste a chunk of code inside some chunk that is indented differently. Some may say that a good text editor will deal with that for you, but it's rarely been the case for me. The most is when the code is longer than my screen height and I have to scroll down and figure out where the pasted chunk ends and indentation it all who knows how many times without scrolling back up to the top of the chunk.

IMO it would be great if fields could have annotations for types that fall back as strings. Datetimes could be annotated for easier parsing.

I don't have any context, but I do have trouble imagining that any of your projects have scale/complexity above brochure-ware if you haven't run into this.

> I've built plenty of interactive apps with JavaScript without using frameworks

And once you reach sufficient project complexity, you will end up with just another homegrown framework, with all the lessons learned by mature frameworks, left to be fixed over the next 5 years.

The dream has long been to have code distributed to thin clients while allowing intensive tasks to be run on servers.

> And this is the biggest difference with architecture. Nobody starts building a house without knowing final design

I must disagree based on the number of residential homes turned into businesses, large scale remodeling, or tearing a house down to rebuild. All these fit well into the analogy.
