Even programming jobs are like excel sheets with extra steps.

My first smartphone is HTC and it looked like yours, but with android.

Oh yeah… The Fall, American Gods, Sex Education. She just kept getting more and more gorgeous.

Indie games. Tremendous respect for indie devs.

Ecologically that’s pretty much what humans are…

Have you been reading three body problem?

Also, there’s this one guy who’s auto-uploading auto generated videos of stackoverflow questions and answers on youtube, like every few seconds. I think I saw it on one of DistroTube videos.

If you haven’t done any Clojure, may be Elixir?

We’re like oompa loompas to their willy wonka complex.

There are huge economic advantages to their inner circles that only come with them being in complete control. These people are uses to… a certain way of doing “business”, if you can call it that. It’s all basically corruption and abuse of their position for monetary gain. A lot of cronies also prefer them over a democratic government because they can just bribe their way to get their work done. I had even heard a bit of whining even from average business owners over difficulty in procuring licenses and permissions during the demographic government rule. Granted most of them want demographics governments but some still wanna bribe their way in like before.

Turning my web app for Burmese song lyrics with guitar chords into an open source PWA songbook app. I’ll try to turn it into some kind of offline available song book that you can host on github pages.

Not and AI expert but I’ve never been convinced by AI that’s trained on human provided data. It’s just gonna be garbage in, garbage out. To get something substantially useful from AI, it needs to be… axiomatic, I guess. A few years ago, there was Alpha Zero learning only the rules of chess but within just a few hours, it learned all the chess openings/theories that took human chess masters centuries to formulate. It even has it’s own effective opening lines that used to be considered wasteful/unsound before. Granted chess game rules and win conditions are relatively simple compared to real life problems. So may be, it’s too early for general purpose AI research to billions into.

Don’t give up!

I’m thinking more along the line of ubiquitous offline first PWAs. Imagine google doc running offline in a browser and being able to edit local docs directly. I guess secure file system access is one of the major road blocks, though I’m not sure of the challenges associated with coming up with a standard for this.

I started my career as C# dev and thought highly of Java because it’s what C# is ripping off of. Then I actually tried writing Java and had a new found appreciation for C#. This was over 10 years ago though.

I’m still hoping for browsers to become some kind of open standard application environments and web apps to become actual apps running on this environment.

What do you think of zig?

I think elixir/erlang is also in the same class of languages as clojure in that sense. A lot of lisp-like languages tend to go into that trend, I guess. I love working in it.

May be my headspace was a bit too much in systems that benefit from rapid prototyping. Other class of systems might benefit greatly from type safety and unit tests. Even though, I still felt a bit iffy about unit tests and almost ideological spouting points of it. I struggled with unit testing for a few years and now I just use them for automation of bigger picture behaviour testing. Call them integration tests or whatever.

Watching it now. So far he’d been describing exactly what I had in mind. Thanks for this!

Oh, I completely forgot about smalltalk. Better look into again.

It’s the same with elixir and it’s interactive REPL! I really love working with it.
