I write a lot of Go. It’s great. CGo is also good. But Crystal is even more easily interoperable with C libs and has a slimmer runtime. It’s also even faster in my real world testing. Down sides vs Go are compiler speed and general ecosystem is much smaller. But I’ve written several things in Crystal in prod and it has been very good.

Launch Your Online Marketplace with an Amazon Clone Script
In conclusion, building your online shopping marketplace is no longer a far-fetched idea. With a powerful ecommerce script, you can jumpstart your eCommerce journey and build a platform that serves both buyers and sellers effectively. Leverage the power of multi-vendor platforms, modern tech stacks, and flexible monetization strategies to turn your business dream into a real-world digital marketplace.
Test what exactly? If your test is "The page renders how I expect when using the browser's default styling" then that's a terrible test, because that can change at any time without your control. You just have to accept what that is. There isn't a valid test for it.

The fix for this is to define your own H1 margin and font size and then to test that the site looks correct with those values. Your test is should be that your styling works, not that Firefox's styling works. That'd be like testing a dependency. You shouldn't be doing that.

Glass bottles are ubiquitous as is Public drinking in Germany. They have a pfand program that gives money for recycling bottles where the bottles are literally cleaned and refilled not melted down.

So either, you return the bottles for some pocket money or you leave the bottle by a trashcan for someone (usually a homeless person) to collect all the bottles and make a few bucks for food and a shower.

It's actually a bit taboo to smash a bottle because of this.

The algorithm changed the visuals of headers used in semantics, that is, H1's in lower sections. But software beyond browsers like screen readers would need to add support for this logic too, so that H1's in a section were semantically treated as a H2.

Yup, this way you can skip the shebang line for your scripts in some arbitrary language.

I have it set up for Haskell (it's somewhat hackish): there is preconfigured haskell project in a certain location with desired dependencies, imports, etc., so when executing a .hs file this file is copied into that as Main and ran. A similar setup will work for any language.

Edit: `cabal` and `stack` both have script commands now, so these would be an alternative to the above, downside being that every such script would need the shebang intro with dependencies, etc.

Fine, I'll take the 4 byte hit for security and safety critical software then.

Have been using it in production for years for small projects. But also have a current, larger project in it that is going well. A few years ago I built a high throughput (20k shortens/s) link shortener for work, in Go. I later rewrote the main path in Crystal to test it for performance. It was a bit faster than the Go version (22k/s) on the same infrastructure… but running on a single core! We did not finish/ ship it, but it was revealing.
Trump's Trade War Is Strengthening China's Soft Power
There's another way to do it. Here's a teardown of a classic Nokia "brick" phone.[1] That's designed for automated low-cost vertical assembly. The case provides the basic structure, and everything can be put into the case with a vertical push. There are no internal wires to connect. There are simple machines for that kind of assembly. Then everything gets squeezed together, and you have a hard block of an object that's hard to damage.

If you can design something which can be assembled in that simple way, high-volume manufacturing can be automated cheaply. Smartphones are not built from parts intended to be assembled in that way, but that's a decision based on cheap labor, not one that's inherent in smartphone design.

Design for assembly was more of a thing when manufacturing was in the US. The Macintosh IIci was designed for vertical assembly. Everything installed with a straight-down move. The power supply outputs were stakes that engaged clips on the motherboard. No internal wiring.

Then Apple gave up on US manufacturing.

I don't find that very funny. It's interesting to see what AI can do, but wait a month or two and watch it again.

Compare that to the parodies made by someone like "Weird Al" Yankovic. And I get that these tools will get better, but the best parodies work due to the human performer. They are funny because they aren't fake.

This goes for other art forms. People mention photography a lot, comparing it with painting. Photography works because it captures a real moment in time and space; it works because it's not fake. Painting also works because it shows what human imagination and skill with brushes can do. When it's fake (e.g., not made by a human painting with brushes on canvas, but by a Photoshop filter), it's meaningless.

That kinda blew my mind too, I'd expect the complaint to be about needing to use some online review tool. Editing the asciidoc source directly sounds archaic, and I was expecting the authoring / editing world to have had 'code review' style software years before the software development world did.

Cross-platform frameworks are inevitably crap. If you really need to run an application on multiple platforms, write a cross-platform core and implement the human interface atop it for each platform using each platform’s native frameworks and languages.

The result is always a better product with happier users. If you don’t want to invest in that, you should at minimum be willing to admit to yourself that you’re OK with giving your users something subpar because it’s to your advantage to do so.

As someone who's been involved with radio and occasionally podcasts for about 20 years... I'm struggling to see the benefit of this one. Yes, prep services have existed in the past and I'm sure continue to exist today. Xtrax rings a bell from years gone by.

But honestly, if you're going to be interviewing someone and the content is going to be engaging, you can't just fly from some LLM output. Talking to a politician you're going to need knowledge of their past actions, figures to challenge them on, etc. For music guests, a bit of knowledge about the band, key figures and moments throughout their story. I'd hope anyone using the LLM crib sheet is also being reactive to what their guests say (e.g. "you touched on X but when you were Chief of X...").

Interviews aren't my strength but I'd be wary of such a service. Combined with the usual AI hallucinations it could be quite the entertaining car crash.

> the physical reality hasn't really changed that much

It sure has. We've lost a significant proportion of the other species on earth in the span of a few decades. For just one example of many, "69% decline in vertebrate populations globally since 1970." (WWF Living Planet Report, 2022 [0])

The current extinction rate is 100 to 1,000 times the natural background rate.

Half of all coral reefs have died since 1950, and entire marine food chains are collapsing.

There's been a 75% decline in flying insect biomass in parts of Europe over 30 years
(Krefeld Study, 2017). 1 in 6 bee species have gone regionally extinct.

1.3 million sq km of forest have been destroyed since 1990; the size of South Africa. Now Trump is talking about logging National Parks and cutting down a California sized amount of trees.

96% of all mammal biomass on Earth today is humans and livestock.

Gcc is the flagship of the GNU Project - allowing an endrun of the the spirit of the GPL in gcc was never going to happen. The project paid more attention than you give them credit for because allowing closed source plugins and improvements that use gcc as a frontend is anathema to Free software.

There's an impedance mismatch between people who think gcc should have maximized user utility vs. the actual GNU philosophy. The actions of the gcc project make a lot of sense if you consider the FSF/GNU are monomaniacal about maximizing users freedoms, and not popularity, momentum or other ego-stroking metric.

> I’m somewhat a fan of systemd

As in: "you've tried alternatives and you really think that systemd is superior", or as in "you don't see why people complain about systemd and its philosophy"?

Genuinely interested, because usually people I hear say that they don't see the problem with systemd don't really have experience with the alternatives. Which makes sense: people who like being able to use alternatives tend to get screwed by systemd :-).

Edit: for those downvoting, this is a genuine question. I mostly hear opinions from people who hate systemd, and those who don't generally just don't really care: "I've always used systemd and I haven't had issues". But the latter group wouldn't call themselves "fans of systemd".
I sometimes get delays out of chatgpt that make me wonder things like "is the router for their MoE models a person or a computer?" How long would it take a person to put a summarized prompt into one of ~100 bins? What if it only involves the human .001% of the time, presumably in cases of low confidence out of the classifier?
I believe it is still best practice to have a single h1 per page but the spec allows many:

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Reference/...
Live Map of the London Underground
Trying to shoehorn this onto the existing headings was a mistake. They should have introduced a new <h> or maybe <ha> (heading-automatic) element for this. Plus, support in the form of a CSS pseudoclass like :heading(n), which matches <hn> headings and <h> elements nested in n articles/sections/..., would have been great.

Essentially, it was hopeless to expect that designers would adapt their stylesheets to style headings based on the number of sections surrounding them. And if the visual styles don't adapt, nobody will use the outline algorithm to choose their headings.

(Which is sad, because the algorithm makes content nicely nestable. With the algorithm, I can take an article that was independent and use it as a section in a larger work, and the headings will automatically adapt. Though, as a pet-peeve of mine, nested IDs would also be somewhat necessary for this, so that it's fine to have two embedded articles which both have a section with an ID #introduction.)
The author has compiled a comprehensive guide to GPT-4o image generation styles, covering a variety of unique artistic styles and application scenarios. It mainly includes:

Modern Creative Styles: 3D Chibi Characters、Hand-drawn Sketches、Pixel Art、Low Poly、Hand-drawn Highlight Information Cards, etc.

These styles can be applied to various practical scenarios such as brand design, avatar generation, children's picture books, and product prototypes. The article also shares four secrets to discovering new ways to play: using search engines, social media, professional platforms, and reverse analysis. Through these methods, users can continuously explore and innovate, enhancing their prompt usage skills to create more unique visual effects.
