I think the main barriers are context length (useful context. GPT-4o has “128k context” but it’s mostly sensitive to the beginning and end of the context and blurry in the middle. This is consistent with other LLMs), and just data not really existing. How many large scale, well written, well maintained projects are really out there? Orders of magnitude less than there are examples of “how to split a string in bash” or “how to set up validation in spring boot”. We might “get there”, but it’ll take a whole lot of well written projects first, written by real humans, maybe with the help of AI here and there. Unless, that is, we build it with the ability to somehow learn and understand faster than humans.

People seem to disagree but I like this. This is AI code used responsibly. You’re using it to do more, without outsourcing all your work to it and you’re actively still trying to learn as you go. You may not be “good at coding” right now but with that mindset you’ll progress fast.

Nah I’m an innovator! I’ll just innovate a better chip that’ll never fail and software that has no bugs!

is-sorted and a handful of about 300 other npm packages. Cloning the repo and installing takes about 16 hours but after that you’re pretty much good for the rest of eternity

It’s a bit hacky but I suppose there’s always the option of using a separate WebDAV server on the directory where frappe drive stores its files. I haven’t tried something like that, though. Unfortunately I don’t know of any integration within frappe drive itself. Seems they’re accepting contributions now so it’s possible these will be implemented in the future. WebDAV is a bit of its own beast, though, so that’ll be a huge undertaking in my opinion.

And then their non standard file format turns out to just be a zip file or gzipped JSON data 😂

I assume that word also means something else than what I’m thinking…

But it’s good that viable alternatives exist in case Microsoft ever considers shutting down the Java edition.

I had never even considered that as a possibility but now it seems all too possible and I’m gonna have to sit with that for a while…

I’ve actually used this to my advantage. I bought some cheap speaker/light combos which basically made the lights dance to the music. The only power connector was a wire that comes straight out of the device and into an outlet. But it did have a USB port for loading music from a USB stick. So naturally I plugged one side of a USB A into the port and the other side into a power bank and it just straight up worked.

How does the math work out on that? Both are fairly mature, I don’t believe that either application takes a considerable amount of development effort to maintain. And taking features from Wordpad and putting them into Notepad has a time and effort cost.

What’s a sane, dynamically typed language?

I prefer a hybrid approach. A document explaining some common things to do and generally the idea behind why the API is structured that way (shows me you actually thought about it, and makes it more logical to find different parts of it without necessarily looking it up), and then an API spec showing all the parameters.

Not to rub it in, but in my forties could be read as almost the entirety of the modern web was developed during my adulthood.

Absolutely nothing… This article literally just says that somebody on an internet forum pointed out that what might happen is that if your account has been around longer than the average lifespan then they’ll investigate and maybe terminate it after determining it’s no longer owned by the original account owner. Valve today doesn’t have the support capacity to perform this kind of investigation. Valve in 50-60 years will be an entirely different beast. This speculation means nothing.

From the stories I’ve heard from corporate software employees, this does sound like exactly the kind of thing you gotta do to show some manager the guy is buddy-buddy with that they’re actually not doing their job. And even then they didn’t listen.

We have to work under the assumption that most development is done by inexperienced or, to put it bluntly, bad programmers. I would MUCH rather have bad JS code than bad assembly. One may crash a single tab in my browser, the other may crash my entire computer.
