It's genuinely hilarious how the same leadership pushing for RTO because getting people together creates magic, seems to have no issues trading those same people out for LLM's churning at specs.

n=1 but i don't really discover new projects via github, it's mainly here, reddit, or via colleagues. then again, i selfhost forgejo so don't have a real presence on github

Same - also installed a forgejo runner via docker so i've got CI. Forgejo has it's own artifactory/registry so the apps I make get a docker image and I just run that docker image. All on my own hardware.

I'm in my happy space selfhosting forgejo and having a runner on my own hardware

It's just abhorrently slow, it does a lot but I always thouhgt TUI were fast but the amount of times it doesn't register my input is way too much.

This and the idea of creating some sort of english-adjacent programming language for LLM's is fun, I guess, but what problem is it solving. Do we really need to go an abstraction higher?

> which prevents the government from bringing a case

Genuinely, from outside, it seems like your government doesn't give a damn on what they are and aren't allowed to do.

To be fair, VS Code git implementation is really off-putting if you've used something good.

Renovate (dependabot equiv I think) creates PRs, I usually walk through them every morning or when there's a bit of downtime. Playing with the idea to automerge patches and maybe even minor updates but up until now it's not that hard to keep up.

My dad uses Gemini because it's the default thingy on his android phone - I asked him if he used ChatGPT and he said yes and navigated to Gemini. Most people really don't care that much I think.

Quitting smoking was the best decision I made and I wish I did it earlier. If you feel ready Allen Carr's book worked for me. I wasted so much time smoking.

It's a bit odd to claim both sides do something but not elaborate when asked for more info. Seems disingenuous.

Being based in Europa is a massive USP for European companies - the USA being harder and harder to trust each day. It's difficult to build business on shaky ground.

There's no way to catch up really - if they keep innovating like they are it's not possible to bridge that gap.

As disappointing as my national government (NL) has been and still is, at least our MEPs oppose this dragon of a proposal.

Damn dude. I'm just having fun most of the time. The field is so insanely broad that if you've got an ounce of affinity there's a corner that would fit you snugly AND you'd make a decent living. Take a look around.

New comment by midasz in "NIH is cheaper than the wrong dependency"

midasz — Fri, 18 Jul 2025 09:05:32 +0000

Either way you wrap each thing that acts as a dependency, even if it's internal. I treat dependencies another team in my company delivers the same as any other third party dependency. Never use the classes but always just wrap around them in a service or component.

When my 'task' is to publish things on a Kafka bus I create a publishing service that takes in an object that I control, only inside that service is there actual talk about the dependency and preferably even that's a bit wrapped. It's easy to go too far with this but a little bit of wrapping keeps you safe.

She was being filmed by a camera crew, it was obvious she was from the press. Media vest - it's not Afghanistan - though deployment of military may give that impression. Really going for the 'she was asking' for it defense?

I saw the one where a journalist was shot with rubber bullets. What does the flag have to do with anything? Aren't you guys supposed to have freedom of expression?
