This post is discussing more specialized databases, but why would people choose Oracle/Microsoft DB instead of Postgres? Your own experience is welcome.

I thought it’s about Lynx Browser, a text based browser that lives in terminal

I don't mind low stakes vibe-coded applications per se, but the readme is LLM slop that I couldn't bring myself to keep reading.
It’s funny that almost all vibe coded software have this detailed tree project structure in README. If I recall correctly, this was not common in pre-LLM era. It was too much burden to maintain.
Being at the beach (in summer) for a half an hour will produce 10,000 and 25,000 IU for the average european.

Could you cite that claim from the paper?
Not gonna lie, I cringed when it asked to insert citations.
Like, what's the point?
You cite stuff because you literally talk about it in the paper. The expectation is that you read that and that it has influenced your work.
As someone who's been a researcher in the past, with 3 papers published in high impact journals (in chemistry), I'm beyond appalled.
Let me explain how scientific publishing works to people out of the loop:
- science is an insanely huge domain. Basically as soon as you drift in any topic the number of reviewers with the capability to understand what you're talking about drops quickly to near zero. Want to speak about properties of helicoidal peptides in the context of electricity transmission? Small club. Want to talk about some advanced math involving fourier transforms in the context of ml? Bigger, but still small club. When I mean small, I mean less than a dozen people on the planet likely less with the expertise to properly judge. It doesn't matter what the topic is, at elite level required to really understand what's going on and catch errors or bs, it's very small clubs.
2. The people in those small clubs are already stretched thin. Virtually all of them run labs so they are already bogged down following their own research, fundraising, and coping with teaching duties (which they generally despise, very few good scientist are barely more than mediocre professors and have already huge backlogs).
3. With AI this is a disaster. If having to review slop for your bs internal tool at your software job was already bad, imagine having to review slop in highly technical scientific papers.
4. The good? People pushing slop, due to these clubs being relatively small, will quickly find their academic opportunities even more limited. So the incentives for proper work are hopefully there. But if asian researchers (yes, no offense), were already spamming half the world papers with cheated slop (non reproducible experiments) in the desperate bid of publishing before, I can't imagine now.
It’s like not only the technology is to blame, but the culture and incentives of modern world.
The urge to cheat in order to get a job, promotion, approval. The urge to do stuff you are not even interested in, to look good in the resume. And to some extent I feel sorry for these people. At the end of the day you have to pay your bills.

> "My iPhone 14 Pro has 35Gb of "system data" which has basically filled up the entire storage I had left"
I occasionally use a macbook pro at £WORK for a few apple specific processes, and it currently has 188.67gb of "system data" that I have no idea how to clean up or remove. It's marked separately from the 11.01gb of macOS in the storage settings, and it constantly complains about the disk almost being full. Updating and restarting don't clear it, I wish I could just rm -rf it all. Does anyone know how I can at least see what it is, and potentially even clean it up?
EDIT: Thanks for the CleanMyMac recommendations, the 57.6gb of xcode caches that didn't show up in the "developer" section of the storage settings might have had something to do with it
Dot folders contribute to the „System Data” section. Maven/Gradle caches can take a lot of space. Take a look at your home folder first and press CMD + SHIFT + . to reveal hidden folders. You might not need 3rd party software.

Flutter re-generates the entire layout every tick and diffs it (immediate-mode), like a game engine. If your device isn't quite fast enough it'll lag, yep. RN is retained mode (but written in immediate-mode style and the diffing only happens when it has to).
Interesting, I didn’t know that it was immediate mode. According to the article [1] though, it now uses rendering engine with Retained Mode due to performance issues.
