lobocode, 1 month ago to Java

One of the biggest advantages of #Java has always been the #JVM (which allows for absurd portability and also facilitates the configuration and scalability of #software #developed in Java).

In #C, until now, I wasn't aware of any interesting tool that could take on that role. But look at the surprise:

Trying to get my head around the GenAI APIs popping up all over lately. What's a good use-case for wrapping calls to ChatGPT in your own application?

For instance, the Spring AI's for calling various LLMs. Seems like you could make cool party tricks of creating poems, maybe creating content for your marketing, maybe images based off your data... But is any of it useful?

WTF, is #Tumblr really trying to burn all its goodwill in a single go? Sure seems like it. https://hachyderm.io/@thisismissem/112017182949290205

Sorting through and giving away/recycling my dead tree tech books. So many things that I have no idea about any more

I'm looking for a tool I swear I've seen but cannot find. When running a load of #microservices locally, it caught all the Docker logs and made them nicely searchable, graphable etc without being a stinking great ElkStack. What was it? #devops #developerexperience

What I would give to hear the screams of a dot matrix printer on a cash register being operated by a store employee. And the receipt just has the details of my transaction.

I don't have a therapist, where do I go to disclose the thoughts that make me a bad person, but not get block/muted/ridiculed?

every time i open google search now it pops up a big interstial asking if i want to try their new ai garbage, even though i always say “no thanks”.

and microsoft’s relentless insertion of “copilot” into bing and windows and github isn’t much better.

i refuse to use duck duck go on principle. what am i even left with?

It never will cease to amaze that there’s a maker of smartphones emphasizing privacy and pushing end-to-end encryption and features like device lockdown, running on an open source OS…

…and open source tech people keep dunking on Apple and dissing it and then turn around and praise Google, the shadiest advertising company in the world that would sell their grandmother for a quick profit (they probably do).

There is no word in English for the feeling you get when your brain has extra cycles and you desperately want to fill it with another project/performance/job, but you need to stop because those are the extra cycles you need in an emergency.

As a #software #developer, I fight coupling every day. It has gotten to the point now that I only drive cars with automatic transmission, because then THERE IS NO COUPLING!

mikestreety, 7 months ago to Spotify

Thinking of switching to #Spotify for my podcasts as my current service doesn't offer an API or anyway of extracting data.

Alternatively, recommendations for an Android podcast player which does offer API/a way to get my listened-to data?

@vertigo random thing. Before VSCode came along I used to use Sublime. It was a little rougher around the edges in some areas of the experience but it was practically the same. Including the command palette keybindings. Only difference was that it wasn’t built on electron and was a tiny (relative) C++ app from memory. Maybe need to go back to that…

kellogh, 9 months ago to python

hot take: dynamic languages like #python and #javascript would benefit a lot by a little type checking around async/await constructs — simply emitting a compiler error (or even a warning) when you don’t await an async function call would save massive amounts of time

Its actually insane how out of control companies are with implementing #AI just to say that they have AI. #ChatGPT is all over the place, no matter how dumb the implementation. Watching literally everyone under the sun trip over themselves to implement it just because.
