Same here, although most of my UI work is on the Web nowadays, I miss the days when the browser was only for hypertext documents, and everything else was done natively with networking protocols, and standards.

Hence why my hobby coding has nothing to do with Web technologies, Web pays the bills, other stuff is for fun.
Right. Apparently they also claim it's more than that:

> - when having non trivial ecosystem one cannot selectively deprecate and get errors, this has to be a human process (remember to replace…)

Apart from some statically typed languages (and even then), most languages have this. Very rarely in any ecosystem does a dependency upgrade not also require manual changing of stuff.

> - when doing umbrella tests on non compiled code seed influences order of compilation
> - this order of compilation influences outcome and can lead to buggy code

I've never seen compilation produce odd artifacts, especially not as a result of compilation order. If the code has the proper compile-time deps, then the result seems stable.

> - documentation is hard to use - searching shows random versions and there isn’t even a link to „open newest”

Isn't this the fault of the search engine not having the latest version indexed? There's also a version selector on the top-left of hexdocs. Navigating to hexdocs.pm/<LIBRARY_NAME> also opens the latest version. This seems like a non-issue to me.

> - a lot of knowledge is implicit (try checking if you can dynamically add children to a Supervisor)

Already covered by another commenter, but also:
https://hexdocs.pm/elixir/DynamicSupervisor.html
I don't think the knowledge is necessarily implicit, it's just that learning Elixir deeply also means learning the BEAM/Erlang deeply, and there's a lot of Erlang docs.

> - sidebar with new ExDocs break for some reason so there is no navigation

Not a universal problem. Perhaps look into why it's broken on your device and report it as a bug?

> - there is no way to browse navigation outside this broken ExDocs which outputs only HTML and LSP

There's iex. For example `h String.codepoint`. Aside from that, I sometimes just open the relevant library in my deps/ directory and search there.

> - Squiggly arrow works weird (i.e. ~0.3 might catch 0.99)

I genuinely don't understand what you mean by this. There's no tilde operator and ~0.3 is invalid syntax. Can you give a code sample?

> - dependency compilation is not parallelized

I think this might be related to the common pattern of code you see in libraries:

if Code.ensure_loaded?(SomeModuleFromAnotherLib) do
# Some lib is loaded, add code to integrate with it.
end

I think that could only be solved if that integration were extracted into another lib with properly setup deps, but due to how common this pattern is I don't think it's ever possible to switch to parallel dep compilation.

> - Dialyzer/dialyxyr typespecs are useless most of the time

A type system is being worked on, and each release lately has added more checks.

I agree that compilation is slow & editor integration is meh, but the rest I don't agree with.
Yes. But we haven't heard from them what they did with it.
I read that book cover to cover when it came out and it was pretty cool. It won’t get us back to advanced semiconductors because there is just too much to reinvent to get there but it would get us back to 1930s type lifestyle with modern niceties on top.
If you record a video game, I find that anything much lower really messes with the visual quality, especially if it portrays a forest scene or something with lots of detail like snow. Admittedly, you have to zoom in to notice and it's more apparent during fast movement, though VBR and other options seem to help.

The H265 encoder is also lovely, from what I've seen! Bigger file sizes, but a bit more software support in some places.

There are two things i don't want to miss with ansible: mitogen and the netbox inventory plugin.

Mitogen vastly improves ansible by using various techniques to improve the speed. With small runs it doesn't save much, but in bigger playbooks it it can improve it by factor 10 or more

Netbox is an inventory for hardware. It stores all the data that would require a ton of yaml/toml/ini files. you want a new server in the virt cluster? Save it in netbox and once ansible is done it can even update netbox so that its displayed as fully operational instead of planed.

I think a way to maintain agency as well as avoiding overly restrictive regulations is an AI 'guardian' app that uses coherent extrapolated volition to nudge you toward your ideal self. Blocking sites, pushing productive content (aligned with what you deem productive of course). You can't stop digital drugs from being made, you can only stop yourself from accessing them. And you must find ways to do that for you and the people you care about. AI guardian aligned with your best interests would make this a lot easier.

Not really new is it? First cars just had to be approaching horse and cart levels of speed. Comfort, ease of use etc. were non-factors as this was "cool new technology".

In that light, even a 20 year old almost broken down crappy dinger is amazing: it has a radio, heating, shock absorbers, it can go over 500km on a tank of fuel! But are we fawning over it?

It really depends on the suburb. American ones are mostly garbage for social interaction, but I just moved to one (Houten, NL) that is really good for this.

The key, of course, is to get cars away from people so that the streets (or bike paths and gardens in my case) are a place for humans, where it's comfortable to chat, let your kids run around, etc.

I use Deep Research the one from OpenAI is amazing for comparison shopping.

E.g. I use it for stuff like "find me the best air cleaner available in Europe", or "List all WCS events in Europe in upcoming 2 months", or "find me a class doing xx in city xx that has the best teacher", "find me a presence sensor for home automation that does xxx".

I usually only care about quality - and it's amazing in finding good stuff. I bet if I asked it to optimize for price, it would save me a lot of money finding good value items.

Similarly with other optimisation tasks - e.g. "I like to eat here and here, and do this and this. Find solutions that are just as good, but way cheaper".

I mention Deep Research from OpenAI (not from Google, and not just chatGPT with search), because that's the only model I found that does a good enough job for me - I'd say comparable to me spending a day on researching.
>You can ask 4o about this yourself. Here's what it said to me:

Yes, but one is involving hundred thousand lives on a land invasion by a military general, another is about long range bombing being less effective by warning the target hours in advanced by a civilian/politician.

The level of potential impact, expectations and repercussions are very very different between the two. He should absolutely get fired because you cant do that sort of thing at that position - but equating the two is disingenuous. The general should have been court-martialed in that situation.

Isn’t the Dewey decimal system universal so that the same book will have the same reference no matter which library it’s in? So all it would take is one analog index somewhere and it would apply to every library.

Even without it, there are sections that are labeled in libraries that require no index.
100% agree. FWIW I use ctrl-r all day every day in emacs and also in the shell and its... fine.

Michael Pettis on China's consumption paradox and the pitfalls of a trade war
No. If that interstitial is working, it's only working due to obscurity, and the moment this system becomes even slightly popular it'll become worthless.

Proof of work is not a viable defense -- it's basically impossible to tune the parameters such that the cost is prohibitive or even meaningful to the scrapers but doesn't become an obstacle to users.

It's pretty much just a check for whether the client can run JavaScript. But that's table stakes to a scraper. Trying to discriminate between a real browser, a real browser running in headless mode, or something trying to fake being a real browser requires far more invasive probing of the browser properties (pretty much indistinguishable from browser fingerprinting) and obfuscating what properties are being collected and checked.

That's already what any commercial bot protection product would be doing. Replicating that kind of product as an on-prem open source project would be challenging.

First, this is an adversarial abuse problem. There is actual value in keeping things hidden, which an open source project can't do. Doing bot detection is already hard enough when you can keep your signals and heuristics secret, doing it in the open would be really hard mode. (And no, "security by obscurity is no security at all" doesn't apply here. If you think it does, it just means you haven't actually worked on adversarial engineering problems.)

Second, it's an endless cat and mouse game. There's no product that's done. There's only a product that's good enough right now, but as the attackers adapt it'll very quickly become worthless. For a product like this to be useful it needs constant work. It's one thing to do that work when you're being paid for it, it's totally another for it to be uncompensated open source work. It'd just chew through volunteers like nobody's business.

Third, you'll very quickly find yourself working only in the gray area of bots that are almost but not quite indistinguishable from humans. When working in that gray area, you need access to fresh data about both bot and real user activities, and you need the ability to run and evaluate a lot of experiments. Not a good fit for on-prem open source.
Plus, am I the only one who is disgusted by the idea of Shell/Exxon/... using OSS in their operations?

If only the US had of had a real choice other than shite and shite-lite: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-oxQ5fmiI9M
What I'm currently doing is caveman: I ask the LLM to attach a unique id= to every element, and I gave it an attribute (data-use-cached) it can use to mark "the contents of this element should be loaded from the preivous frame": https://github.com/snickell/universal/blob/47c5b5920db5b2082...

For example, this specifies that #my-div should be replaced with the value from the previous frame (which itself might have been cached):
<div id="my-div" data-use-cached></div>

This lowers the render time /substantially/, for simple changes like "clicked here, pop-open a menu" it can do it in 10s, vs a full frame render which might be 2 minutes (obviously varies on how much is on the screen!).

I think using HAML etc is an interesting idea, thanks for suggesting it, that might be something I'll experiment with.

The challenge I'm finding is that "fancy" also has a way of confusing the LLM. E.g. I originally had the LLM produce literal unified diffs between frames. I reasoned it had seem plenty of diffs of HTML in its training data set. It could actually do this, BUT image quality and intelligence were notably affected.

Part of the problem is that at the moment (well 1mo ago when I last benchmarked), only Claude is "past the bar" for being able to do this particular task, for whatever reason. Gemini Flash is the second closest. Everything else (including 4o, 4.5, o1, deepseek, etc) are total wipeouts.

What would be really amazing is if say Llama 4 turns out to be good in the visual domain the way claude is, and you can run it on one of the LLM-on-silicon vendors (cerebrus.ai, grok, etc) to get 10x the token rate.

LMK if you have other ideas, thanks for thinking about this and taking a look!
Some of your points are valid (like the LSP) but for our company I've found Elixir has been a great developer experience if you take the good with the bad.

I'm curious what you're working on with Elixir because my experience overall has not been the same.

For example our releases take 10 minutes to cut.

Or when I ask questions on Discord I tend to get answers pretty quickly.
It is about both, and nothing about performance, rather geopolitics of being the only design free from US export restrictions, that will surely come with the way things are going.

I have actually read it and agree it is impressive. I will not comment much on the style of the writing, since this is very much subjective, but I would rate it as the "typical" modern fantasy style, which aims at filling as much pages as possible: very "flowery" language, lots of adjectives/adverbs, lots of details, lots of high-school prose ("Panic was a luxury they couldn't afford"). Not a big fan of that since I really miss the time where authors could write single, self-contained books instead of a sprawling series over thousands of pages, but I know of course that this kind of thing is very successful and people seem to enjoy it. If someone would give me this I would advise them to get a good copy editor.

There are some logical inconsistencies, though. For instance, when they both enter the cellar through a trapdoor, Kael goes first, but the innkeeper instructs him to close the trapdoor behind them, which makes no sense. Also, Kael goes down the stairs and "risks a quick look back up" and can somehow see the front door bulging and the chaos outside through the windows, which obviously is impossible when you look up through a trapdoor, not to mention that previously it was said this entry is behind the bar counter, surely blocking the sight. Kael lights an oily rag which somehow becomes a torch. There's more generic things, like somehow these Eldertides being these mythical things no one has ever seen, yet they seem to be pretty common occurrences? The dimensions of the cellar are completely unclear, at first it seems to be very small but yet they move around it quite a bit. There's other issues, like people using the same words as the narrator ("the ooze"), like they listen to him. The inkeeper suddenly calling Kael by his name like they already know each other.

Anyway, I would rate it "first draft". Of course, it is unclear whether the LLM would manage to write a consistent book, but I can fully believe that it would manage. I probably wouldn't want to read it.
I think what you're referring to isn't actually "raising".
