Motivations behind the tool

I'm already familiar with and enjoy using the GitHub Copilot extension (yes, I know there are other awesome extensions, such as Continue.).

Copilot may not always utilize the latest GPT models. It currently use models like gpt-4-0125-preview, gpt-3.5-turbo and others.

Transferring code from the editor to ChatGPT to use GPT-4o is inconvenient.

I'm interested in using alternative models such as Llama3, DeepSeek-Coder, StarCoder, and Claude 3.5 Sonnet, etc.

I have subscriptions to both ChatGPT and Copilot but would like to cancel my Copilot subscription.

That's true of code developed in the absence of a working agreement. What GP meant, I assume, was that in _most_ cases, when you freelance or contract with a business with a MSA or other contract, that contract is going to specify that the work performed is WFH. Default ownership of copyright and code doesn't apply in this case.

But, if for some reason the agreement didn't specifically note the work performed as WFH then yes, the developer still owns the copyright to code they worked on. Where it gets muddy as hell is when you work with a team, some of whom may be other contractors and some of whom may be employees of the client.
Something happens when you tune your business only to the things you can measure.

I still (or at least try to still) have this naive opinion that if you make a good product, the money will come.

We sometimes spend too much time counting the beans and not enough time growing them. Not saying you don't need to count the beans, you do, but when your whole team is counting, they may forget to water them.

Also - to be on topic - don't forget to protect the beans!
The point of platform isn't just that someone else hosts it. It's that it's a consistent target for your teams & different projects, with a well defined set of capabilities.

Having patterns to deploy & ship software, that also can bring up & manage other resources along the way (databases, load balancers, geo-reicatikn, etc etc).
This sounds very stupidly dangerous. I’m amazed this is legal, and that people would do it in the first place.

People are alway going to make bad decisions. Sometimes that is out of a lack of experience or knowledge which can be fixed by better training (which also requires money). Other times it is out of apathy, laziness, or something else that can't be easily fixed. Either way, time and money can provide extra sets of eyes to find and fix those mistakes before they lead to a breach.

There were definitely many issues with Win32 that HTML has fixed, but the controls available in Windows 98 were significantly more numerous and featureful than what HTML5 offers, even today. You could certainly react to mouse hovers. It also had:

• Tree view controls

• Table views, with draggable, resizable and sortable headers

• Image list views

• Menu bars (something HTML will probably never have!)

• Context menus

• Embeddable file explorer views

• A rich text editor control that wasn't plagued with weird formatting and cursor movement bugs

• Embeddable Word/Excel/PowerPoint if you needed more than that

• Date/time pickers (something HTML didn't get until 2014 and I never see any real app use it)

• A calendar widget

• Tab views

• Toolbars

• Wizards/task dialogs

There's some docs here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/controls/ind...

To get these many of these on the web you need to import large third party frameworks, because HTML5 doesn't offer them out of the box. So apps are all very inconsistent.

Ah I see, I had heard about people filling motors themselves and figured that was normal with hobby motors. That certainly makes it much easier for teens to get into it.
DVDs have never been appealing to me - having to manage a physical collection of fragile storage media, each of which comes with a bunch of unwanted fluff in one form or another - I never understood the appeal of that kind of thing, when you could just have a nice neat directory full of video files on your hard drive (and, of course, a backup.)

No need to fiddle with buying additional devices to hook up to your tv - anything with an hdmi cable will play an mp4 directly on your display of choice. You already have a desktop, or a laptop, or a tablet, or something. No worrying about scratched discs. No worrying about regions or whatever.

DVDs were a stopgap and they deserve to die, in my book. “DVDs vs streaming” is a false dichotomy when “local file playback versus streaming” already exists.
I had a job in 2006 where the sysadmin ran the entire shop on a single OpenVMS server with two 500Mhz Alpha CPUs. It was our file server, AD server (somehow), DB server, web server, everything.

I just looked it up and that CPU came out in 1996, at the same time Intel released their 200Mhz Pentium. Alpha was way ahead of their time.

If we're going all in on the unix lore here, I'd suggest kernnighghan's book "Unix: A Memoir" as an optional add-on. Lots of good lore and history as to "how and why" things work in such a such way. Some commands in there you may not use or maybe heard of but not fully understand, such as grep, why the word grep, why the other types of grep such as egrep. And on the topic of grep, clearly a very popular command early on, so you also get a sense of "what were seen as the core commands commonly used initially" (and whether those may be useful to you today)
I don't know what it is about cycling that seems to concentrate some of the most insane physiological manipulation (not sure if that's the right phrase tbh).

Other sports like baseball/tennis/etc seem to have some issues with like general steroids. But the level that cyclists go to always seems to exceed them by orders of magnitude.

I don't know how true it is, but I've heard that some cyclists had/have to set alarms throughout the night so they wake up to do jumping jacks to get their heart rates back up above the "artificial" 15bpm that their training + cocktail of drugs has caused.
...There is a reason why those crazies that tell you to build everything from source you personally audit, and to read everything exist.

Y'all want the convenience of "can't someone else just gimme something that works"? Which is fine, but you have to verify the thing is what the other person claims it is. It's the curse of high-trust systems. They are only as trustworthy as the least trustworthy member.

We've done everything we can to rope in everybody. Everybody includes people who are actively malicious to the ecosystem as a whole. Thus the high-trust system has raced to the bottom in transitioning through a low-trust system, to eventually zero-trust; as computer networks in all their forms are just too juicy a set of targets to leave untapped by malicious/selfish actors. The only defense is everyone looking out for themselves on top of everyone else. It's fcking hard. It's a slog. It makes the act of maintaining computing systems that much less sexy. It's also what keeps you* safe from the wolves in sheep's clothing.

My journey in computing has branched out far and wide, only to crunch back to a narrow set of tools that I can vouch for personally. My trust of the denizens of the Net has plummeted, if only because the spaces in the cracks where belief rather than knowledge lie are just such fertile ground for skulduggery now.
You are absolutely insane. Bravo!
And people ask me why I like CLIs, TUIs, Vim, Tmux and so. I’m so tired of these ever changing bullshit visual designs that sacrifice functionality in favour of form just so they can appeal to the “dumb” audience. Stop treating me like them. The same has been happening in video games too that handhold you all the way through. Just put some effort into making things discoverable and let the users do their thing.
Hey there! Thanks a bunch for your input—it really helps to think through where this project is headed. Right now, I'm still in between a couple ideas on how to shape the project.

One thing I'm personally keen on is using it to peek at webapps like Teams or Slack without falling down the rabbit hole of distractions. e.g responding to a message without getting sidetracked by unread notifications. But to make that work right, I’d need to handle logins and authenticated sessions, which I know from experience is hard to get right.

Another scenario I’m looking at is for stuff like MX validator tools. When you tweak MX server settings, it takes a good day or two to take effect globally, and it’s crucial not to send out new emails until those new configuration changes are fully propagated.

I’ve also heard from a friend who works at an Amazon agency. They’re constantly refreshing product pages they manage waiting for updates to show up. They’ve tried existing tools, but reliability is often a toss-up. But even at $50 a seat, it feels like a bargain to them!

You're totally right about detecting changes-- making the app capable of reliably spotting updates and notifying users could really be key. I’m thinking about something like to a git commit history for the web. What's your opinion on a viable UI/UX for the notifications? Maybe a desktop notification that shows the new change?

Also really appreciate the tip about using GitHub releases for distribution! I was really overthinking it, but I'll get on that ASAP.

Let me know what you think, I'd love to hear more about the use case if the app could detect changes and signal the user from the background.
Are there any plans to integrate with other marketing tools or CRMs?
Most businesses just take care of that with a security guard. I'd think an $84 billion company can afford a $25/hr guard at some of these locations. McDonalds has figured out how to deal with the issue without ripping out their interiors.

Maybe they meant that the office is open on Saturdays in case anyone wants to take a weekday off instead?

100% this. These problems were solved in the 90's. The people who solved them moved on to other things, retired, etc.

Designers and PMs don't get promoted for keeping things the same. So they went ahead and broke usability and gave each other high fives for making the UI "modern".

There are many variations of this theme. Look at Google Maps. It was solved a decade ago. Whoever built it has presumably moved on. New people are in charge and they won't get promoted if they leave it untouched. With every change, usability gets worse.
> Is Cree considered higher quality?

They were, for sure. However, in 2019 they were sold to another company and I do not know what may have changed since. All of my Cree lights pre-date that.

> I had one of their CFLs

Cree was founded entirely on the premise of creating LED lighting, I am pretty sure they have never done CFLs.
Built in Wi-Fi router. Can you bring your own router? Is this the direction starlink is going?

I've noticed it getting harder to use my own router. Starlinks DHCP does not like it and it causes issues, including taking several minutes to connect.

> Why didn't they push this instead of the very limited MS-DOS?

Hardware requirements.

For a (quite long) while the plan was to keep DOS for microcomputers and Xenix for the serious stuff. DOS gained some extensions that made it very Xenix/UNIX-like (like subdirectories, pipes, "-" as command line switch char, device files in "\dev" instead of a global namespace, etc.).
I'm always amazed how many games in the early years have no credits at all. And it would bum me out because I wanted to know who coded this? Who's music is it? Did the coder do the graphics too?

I like your take on this. I think K8s offers a _lot_ and it has a bad reputation because of its early days. Kubernetes has room to improve, like everything else, but the API now are becoming a lot easier to work with and the Custom Resources allows folks to extend Kubernetes.

I still think that projects like this one come from necessity. Folks want to have an alternative for vendor lock-in.

I'm building something like that too (https://github.com/pier-oliviert/sequencer) for Kubernetes, and it's also out of necessity.

Vercel, Heroku and others have a lot of helpful tools that are empower developers, and I think people want to have those without being locked-in.

It goes without saying that I'm totally bias :)

I understand inhaling carbon monoxide to be common practice for road cyclists.
Also, events which are not "just" data-leaks but also interruptions or degradation in regular operations. I suspect investors may be more sensitive to those events and their fallout, and such events more likely to either be caused by bad-practice or to be somehow connected to data-leaks.

The thing is that Qubes OS uses child Xorg servers per application to make it so that applications can't read the screen or the keyboard from other applications, whereas Wayland simply builds that into the protocol level so that you don't need that horrible hack. Likewise, it needs VMs to isolate each application or environment from each other and the host, and to make the host immutable and reset on reboot. And we can do all of that now with containers and sandboxes and immutable image-based distros. Not as securely, but at great benefit to performance and interoperability. So personally, I think while Qubes is still the gold standard if all you care about is security, if you want a good balance of security and everyday usability, Fedora Silverblue with distrobox and Flatpaks and a Wayland DE/WM is acceptable enough, as long as you harden the polkit permissions and a few other things like that. And yes, yes, I know the FUD about Flatpak *not being a sandbox" lol

> I don't know how true it is, but I've heard that some cyclists had/have to set alarms throughout the night so they wake up to do jumping jacks to get their heart rates back up above the "artificial" 15bpm that their training + cocktail of drugs has caused.

Even as a casual runner (top 20% in a marathon, def not competitive), I have had to silence low heart rate alarms on my apple watch because my heart rate regularly drops below 40bpm at night. When I’m in peak condition for a race, I’ve seen it drop as low as 30.

Professional cyclists have the highest VO2max of any athlete. Even without drugs I would be completely unsurprised if their heart rate gets to 20bpm in deep sleep.
