Crying. I’m stealing this.

I would argue that not having a male role model in your life is way worse than seeing the consequences enacted on another.

This even if their was a gain from watching others suffer, the lack of discipline, guidance, sternness, is way more detrimental than the positives of fearing the consequences

I find this very very much depends on the model and instructions you give the llm. Also you can use other instructions to check the output and have it try again. Definitely with larger codebases it struggles but the power is there.

My favorite instruction is using component A as an example make component B

That codebase definitely leaves much to be desired, I’ve already had to fork it for work in order to fix some bugs.

1 such bug, find a foreign language with commas in between numbers instead of periods, like Dutch(I think), and a lot of prices on the page. It’ll think all the numbers are relevant text.

And of course I tried to open a pr and get it merged, but they require tests, and of course the tests don’t work on the page Im testing. It’s just very snafu imho

This seems to be https://github.com/mozilla/readability/pull/853#issuecomment... and I think their expectations are pretty reasonable.

Meh, maybe I'm standing too close to the problem, Idk. It is always frustrating trying to use a tool, and it not work though. I know it's free and all, but then I feel like helping people make good contributions is paramount in maintaining and fixing bugs.

Clearly the comma thing is a bug, it's the lack of wanting to fix it actually that is a bit disheartening, and why I think it is a deadish repo

I don't know how you can interpret "we'd really like to make sure that the patch works and that we don't break it in the future" as "lack of wanting to fix it", but you do you.

Im not OP, but this sounds like the garmin instinct.

I own both the original Insticnt and the Instinct 2. OP is not talking about the Instinct.

The Instinct does not have touchscreen, instead it has a monocolor LCD that's always on. It also has an intuitive UI with just 5 buttons on the side.

This is to me a non starter. Why does the server care what that im incrementing the local data? None of that is likely important until I am done.

This is just one more layer on top, and one more possible point of failure/frustration, as illustrated by this parent comment.

Because you're incrementing server side data, not local.

Which doesn't matter for trivial counter examples but the same technique is something I've used (not with ludic, but with HTMX) to trigger actions in physical space.

I’ve been writing JavaScript for 15 years professionally, and I must say this comment seems to be made by someone not as familiar with the context here. Moving away from React and frameworks like it would require a radical rethinking of what we expect to do with web apps. Building something like google maps, google docs, figma, are definitely doable with some of these tools, but it is almost impossible to maintain. This comment truly ignore the context of why frameworks like react took off. Jquery is great if you need a slideshow on a page, and maybe just some tracking, and even then, I’ve recently opted to just use vanilla js, with things like webpack build targeting whatever versions I would need. JavaScript programming is complex because making great ux can be a non trivial task.

Please excuse any typos, written on the phone

How many React apps actually have an interface approaching the complexity of Figma or even Facebook?

No one is arguing that complex web applications don’t benefit from React and friends. It’s completely overkill for most of the web.

why does everyone have this impression that people are using react to render a website that is 5 divs and some images, like where is this perception coming from? do you have any examples at all?

any website that has any sort of meaningful functionality and communication with a server is mostly likely using some sort of framework.

Agreed. There is a _lot_ of naivety around how these frameworks are perceived, from people who have never used them, or who come from different programming backgrounds (i.e. not frontend). It's amusing.

Yeah, there's this whole meme on HN where React competes with hand-writing the HTML of your three-page brochure website, a website virtually nobody is building.

A lot of marketing agency development is this sort of brochureware, and to your point they usually aren't using react.

These crazy libraries might make sense to you because you've been a JS dev for 15 years. JS is supposed to be a basic building block of the web. React places a learning curve in front of the everyday developer that is effectively impossible. It's fine if it's helpful in edge cases, but it shouldn't be the norm. Basic technology should be accessible.

It doesn’t? I’m confused I mean no one used pure HTML anymore everyone has at least some JavaScript GA is a JavaScript file that can be used to track people pretty reliably. Pure html nowadays is paradoxically harder to maintain though.

What I believe they’re trying to say is that it already has not been a meritocracy, and because of human nature that stain will always be there somewhat at least this is a attempted washing of the stain

I specifically wrote “less meritocratic” to imply that meritocracy is a spectrum. Obviously, humans are currently unable to achieve perfectly meritocratic institutions, but it is a spectrum where we can attempt to be more meritocratic than less.

Plex really just needs to host instances of their servers at something reasonable that I can upload easily to. Add a torrent client for good measure. Just make stream boxes.

Plex is explicitly trying to move away from being associated with piracy, so that won’t ever happen.

But what you’re looking for already exists - search for “seedbox” on Reddit.
