uberswe commented on Goravel: A Go framework inspired by Laravel goravel.dev... · Posted by u/cgg1

homebrewer · 6 months ago

Same reason IDEs — when you really know them — allow for quicker development compared to using primitive text editors with a bunch of third-party plugins duck-taped together. When you understand the framework, everything is written to the same standard, behaves in similar ways, and is where you expect it to be. Adding things like background job processing requires changing one line of config.

Also, one major thing I'm missing personally is automatically generated OpenAPI specifications + API documentation & API clients autogenerated from it. Last time I checked Go, you had to write the spec manually, which is just ridiculous — the code already has all the necessary info, and duplicating that effort is time-consuming and error-prone (the spec says one thing, the code does another). This may be out of date, but if it still isn't, it is enough to disqualify the stack completely for me.

Also, I don't think there anything similar in the Go world to these administration panels:

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/5.1/ref/contrib/admin/

https://activeadmin.info

https://nova.laravel.com

which are just fantastic for intranet projects and/or quick prototyping.

For quick prototyping I really like https://pocketbase.io/

I am actually using this for a production site that gets 1 million requests per day.

For all those believers in the power of AI who tested it in modifying their front-ends and writing a Python script, I have a test: ask AI to write an operating system kernel or a database. Of course, something simple.

I never seen AI being used in writing system software. Perhaps there is a reason behind it?

uberswe · 10 months ago

From experience no AI solution is consistently making fault free code of any kind when you need more than a snippet.

Personally I have been making Velocity Proxy plugins for Minecraft where ChatGPT generates the bulk of the plugin and I fix all the incorrect imports, this is Java. My latest project was a whitelist plugin that uses Discord roles to allow/deny players to join.

You still have some that control, but in a much more indirect way.

There are three kinds of data now, synthetic, pre-2022 and current. Everything pre-2022 is definitely written by humans, synthetic data is still synthetic, and post-2022 is a mix of both.

I wouldn't be surprised if "AI detectors" work somewhat for this use case. They're biased, far from accurate and a terrible idea if you need to make important decisions (like whether to expel a student for cheating), but there's quite a large room for errors here.

> Everything pre-2022 is definitely written by humans

I'm not sure if methods like article spinning counts as written by humans. This is something you could automate before AI and it would take a human written article and randomly swap words with similar meaning throughout to make it seem original.

Somehow when I read the title I thought article was going to describe how to use Minecraft to visualize JFR profiles which I thought could be pretty cool…

uberswe · 2 years ago

I'm not sure how much of the built in JFR a mod for Minecraft called Spark uses but it is a fairly common tool for debugging and visualising lag on modded servers https://spark.lucko.me/

uberswe commented on It costs $110k to fully gear up in Diablo Immortal gamerant.com/diablo-immor... · Posted by u/ddtaylor

matwood · 3 years ago

I've played to around level 30 or so also and it feels just like any other recent Diablo. So far it seems like I can pay to speed things up/improve the drop rate, or just keep playing without just fine. Is there some spot I'm going to hit that I can't progress without paying?

uberswe · 3 years ago

The article mentions that you can get the best gear for free but it will take you about 10 years. So I'm sure you can play it and have fun. If you try PVP however then you would be at a great advantage if you pay money for upgrades.

Most scammers targeting your retired parents know how: play store or other vouchers you can buy in the super market. In Europe a standard free IBAN money transfer probably does not lead to much spying either. The biggest use case for this kind of privacy crypto privides is the 'freedom' to do things not legal in your country. I am actually happy to live in a world with limited freedom at times although there is certainly room for improvement ( I do not consider crypto currency as one )

uberswe · 3 years ago

I disagree with your statement about cryptos biggest use case. However I also want to point out that legal can vary a lot between countries. There is at least one third world country where a woman can't even get an abortion without risking life in prison. If cryptocurrencies can help people who don't have equal rights with more privacy in such situations then I am all for it.

uberswe commented on I'm “still afraid to use spaces in file names” years old twitter.com/TheIdOfAlan/s... · Posted by u/dario_satu

pimterry · 4 years ago

I work on a complex desktop application, and it's been astounding the number of bugs that have appeared over the years triggered by spaces and other unusual characters in file names. If you do anything with subprocesses or path processing, it's absurdly easy to hit in a thousand different ways, over and over again.

Pro tip: rename your development directory (or even better: the workspace path in CI) to put a space and/or special characters in it.

Forces you to deal with this properly, and immediately ensures that every automated test checks this case without you having to remember every time. Hasn't been particularly inconvenient, since I'm autocompleting it 99% of the time anyway, and I haven't shipped a single path parsing bug since.

uberswe · 4 years ago

I did something similar on accident. I used to keep all my development work synced with Dropbox and I had a work and a personal account. So any of my own projects would have /Dropbox (Personal)/ in the path which did catch some bugs. Dropbox renamed my folder to "Dropbox (Personal)" automatically when connecting a work account.

How far could you have walked in the four hours instead of waiting? In case of good weather, no rain, or snowstorm, or such?

uberswe · 4 years ago

It would have taken a little over an hour to walk home and I would have had walking/biking paths and sidewalks most of the way. Close to where I live I would have had to walk on the side of the road but it was very low traffic

Yes, Helsinki. A capital city. Which is where most of these comparisons end. In most European countries, people have trouble even affording a place close to a larger or capital city unless they inherited money or already live there, at which point the quality of transport rapidly diminishes (same goes for a place in that city with good connections). That includes young professionals working in tech.

When you have to go home by midnight as a student / young professional living outside the city because public transport service ends (or even before that because you don't want to get stranded), or you live somewhere off the beaten path, or even the other party lives off the beaten path a little, getting a car to drive at least a part of that becomes more and more enticing.

I say this knowing that improving public transport to reduce the number of roads and cars on the road has been a topic for a few decades now, and even the most obvious national lines aren't being funded in my country, whereas there is money to create more roads and maintain older roads. I don't doubt The Netherlands is far better than the US, but while possible, there are still tons of hurdles to overcome in going car-less. Japan is another example, where the cities do it much better than we do, but the outskirts arguably do it worse.

I live in a smaller city called Västerås in Sweden and although you will always find problems if you look hard enough. Don’t compare Europe vs US. Compare cities instead and see what they do differently.

In Västerås i lived in the rural outskirts when I was younger and missing the 2am bus meant I had to wait until 6am but I think it only happened once to me.

I also lived in Houston, Texas. I never took the bus because it would take 45 min to walk to the nearest stop. Biking was fun though because I lived near a large reserve but there was always the fear of getting hit by a boar or bit by something poisonous.

In Västerås walking or biking was always easy and felt integrated to the planning of the city. In Houston you had to seek out special areas where it would be nice to walk or ride your bike.
