Personally the solution to faster build times in Gradle, is to keep using Maven.

I never touch Gradle unless there is no way around it, like Android.

However, this looks like an interesting idea.

Exactly, gradle is so slow that I ditch it into the ground. Just starting a blank project is so a bad experience. Nothing beat maven and a couple of shell script.

I’m still waiting for the first compelling piece of computer generated literature or cinema.

I’d say art but for many, generated pictures are amazing so I’ll accept that.

But creating compelling narratives seems impossible right now. I wonder why is that. Are the models missing something?

The videos here are short clips. They can’t be made into a full movie or even a full YouTube video.

I was looking a documentary in Netflix (night stalker) and men all transitions between scene were Ai generated.

Instead of creating a tag, you could add the time in your commit message as a footer key following the conventional commit spec.

How do you define a framework if React is not one?

It is one of more clear examples of a framework:

- calls your code

- heavily affects how the code is written

- requires significant build configuration (could even be argued it is something more than a framework, but definitely not a library)

gerardnico · 9 months ago

A framework is declarative. You declare what you want. Generally in a configuration file and you get an app.

A library does not impose any configuration. I don’t see any required configuration with React. You can use it wherever you want in your code as an addition.

I made a direnv extension for that purposes.

It loads env files and call hashicorp vault if the value is a secret.

I find it pretty neat to have an env file that describes all environments variables.

gerardnico commented on Ask HN: Did you personal website help you get hired? Tell about it · Posted by u/throwaway844535

I got involved in the oracle forum in 2005. I was just tired to answer always the same questions. I posted them online and got first for whatever reason on Google Search. That’s how datacadamia has started.

I got my second job because of the forum, my third one because of my website. Not that they contacted me directly but during the technical interview, my interviewer was a reader and pretty excited to get me on the team. With an Ai era, it would have been more difficult I guess. The good side is that writing allows you to make connection in your brain and in the outside world.

All the best

Don’t forget that happy people have a far more chance to get and stay married.

Marriage is not the cause of happiness.
