I’m not a mod of the feddit.uk equivalent so it’s not up to me, but I’d be cautious about doing so. I have lemmy.ml blocked so I can’t see their posts or comments, but I’m a bit wary about their users, it would be like redirecting a unitedkingdom community from hexbear or grad.

!UKCasual@lemmy.world

Yeah we can reach out to the mods there and see if they’d want to redirect to us.

I think it’s more to do with phones - people are just more likely to do most tasks on a phone rather than a laptop.

NASA+ remains available for free, with no ads, through the NASA app and on the agency’s website.

It could be that Netflix can promote it on the platform to garner more interest.

With high ceilings, a decent sized balcony and extremely good sound proofing so you can’t hear the neighbours fish fart, or be anxious about making too much noise yourself.

Also bake in some services such as daily laundry services and cleaners as an incentive, maybe a shop on the ground floor.

In my mind a simple unit test should have caught this. Mock out the call to the service that sends the message and verify that it’s been called with the correct message, and cover the possible failure scenarios. That said I hate loosely typed languages lol.

This isn’t the languages fault, it’s the developers.

Trains could do it better.

I’m honestly struggling to see how it could. I dunno what it is with people on Lemmy getting so hyper fixated on trains and thinking they’re the solution to nearly every transport solution.

Trains are great for moving large amounts of people between big urban areas, but terrible for more point to point travel. Busses make more sense than trains in rural areas but cars will always be way more practical.

I think Oxford Street only allows busses and taxis, so private cars aren’t going down there anyway. Still a good move though.

Do American suburbs not have the concept of a “corner shop”? Somewhere you can grab some basics by walking there in 5 to 10 minutes?

It is really not a big change to the way we work unless you work in a language that has very low expressiveness like Java or Go

If we include languages like C#, javascript/typescript, python etc then that’s a huge portion of the landscape.

Personally I wouldn’t use it to generate entire features as it will generally produce working, but garbage code, but it’s useful to get boilerplate stuff done or query why something isn’t working as expected. For example, asking it to write tests for a React component, it’ll get about 80-90% of it right, with all the imports, mocks etc, you just need to write the actual assertions yourself (which we should be doing anyway).

I gave Claude a try last week at building some AWS infrastructure in Terraform based off a prompt for a feature set and it was pretty bang on. Obviously it required some tweaks but it saved a tonne of time vs writing it all out manually.

I feel like it’s more the sudden overnight hype about it rather than the technology itself. CEOs all around the world suddenly went “you all must use AI and shoe horn it into our product!”. People are fatigued about constantly hearing about it.

But I think people, especially devs, don’t like big changes (me included), which causes anxiety and then backlash. LLMs have caused quite a big change with the way we go about our day jobs. It’s been such a big change that people are likely worried about what their career will look like in 5 or 10 years.

Personally I find it useful as a pairing buddy, it can generate some of the boilerplate bullshit and help you through problems, which might have taken longer to understand by trawling through various sites.

It’s not functionally identical, the function of the right lane is to move traffic in the opposite direction to the left. It would be absolute carnage if every other vehicle decided to disregard the rules of the road and use any lane they want because it would make it theirs.

Of course the traffic in their own lane has to stop when others are breaking the rules of the road as you don’t want to hurt anyone, but it’s still dangerous and stupid to ride a bike into oncoming traffic.

She definitely should have either stopped or gone a different route, but it is incredibly dangerous to cycle head onto incoming motor traffic. Not really a great look for the cyclists.

Better off staying in the correct lane but hogging it so vehicles had no choice but to stay behind.

Well yeah strictly you don’t, but the idea of having a single machine under someone’s desk as a build server managed by one person where you have multiple dev teams fills me with horror! If that one person is off and the build server is down you’re potentially dead in the water for a long time. Fine for small businesses that only have a handful of devs but problematic where you’ve multiple teams.

Bottom line for most business though: As long as the cost makes sense, why bother self-hosting anything. That’s really what it comes down to. A bonus too, as most companies like being able to blame other companies for their problems. Microsoft knows that, and profited greatly with Windows Server/Office/etc. for that very reason.

Yup, exactly this. Why waste resources internally when you can free up your own resources to do more productive work. There’s also going to be some kind of SLA on an enterprise plan where you can get compensation if there’s a service outage that lasts a long time. Can’t really do that if it’s self managed.

I’m talking about in a professional environment. You basically need a team to manage them and have a backlog of updates and fixes and requests from multiple dev teams. If you offload that to something cloud based that pretty much evaporates, apart from providing some shared workflows. And it’s just generally a better experience as a dev team, at least in my experience it has been.

It’s not like internal build servers are 100% reliable, scaleable and cheap though. Personally I’ve found cloud based build tools to be just a better experience as a dev.

I mean after that, once the server is shut down and hosting bills are paid.

What will happen to the remaining donated funds once everything has been settled (assuming there’s funds left over)?

Sounds like it’s not the technical side that’s too difficult, but managing the users.
