You’re correct. I think a lot of folks are looking for something decentralized/self-hostable to avoid the lock-in disaster that Discord has created, at least, I am. And I have found a dearth of alternatives! Good article, though.

I did. It isn’t a viable selfhosted alternative atm unless you want to do actual dev work

Might I suggest vivaldi

it means “probably” 🤗

Sometimes things aren’t obvious unless you already have the knowledge. If an AI tool tells a young person cleaning their first apartment to combine household cleaners, are they stupid for doing so? Maybe. They may not have the experience to know. Stupid people deserve to live free from harm too, and we’re all a little stupid.

There’s a balance to be struck.

This isn’t true as I was mistaken. The gap apparently is 1 cent when adjusting for positions. I think this is an overly simplistic view which unduly shifts the blame to women, when in fact society and our economic systems push women towards particular jobs (or motherhood) and compensates far less.

Hers a source I linked elsewhere:

I’m mistaken on that point then, though there is still a measurable gap. There is a large disparity in the “unadjusted” numbers which the article you sent notes is just as important as the adjusted one. It represents a power disparity. Ty for the correction

Here’s another reliable source:

The gap exists between identical positions – that’s like the whole thing

You think Red Hat & friends are just all bad sysadmins? Source hut maybe…

I think there’s a bit of both: poorly optimized/antiquated sites and a gigantic spike in unexpected and persistent bot traffic. The typical mitigations do not work anymore.

Not every site is and not every site should have to be optimized for hundreds of thousands of requests every day or more. Just because they can be doesn’t mean that it’s worth the time effort or cost.

thanks! didn’t know about that

Why?

it’s offended developers who have been forced to make awful UX/UI for sure. i had to change mine back to an upvote :)

I have a novice programmer friend who created an app with authentication with AI. It used create-react-app (deprecated for years now) and had him roll his own OAuth layer manually with Express. When you refresh, you get logged out.

It’s an awesome project to learn some skills, but only a seasoned programmer would know to never roll your own auth, or to not use CRA, etc.

We are in for some interesting times.

Same here

The level of pedantry in this thread is insane lmao. If grammar and spelling make your post indecipherable then sure, it’s annoying. Otherwise you’re being a whiny elitist illustrating your ignorance of the context of the written word. Not to mention some folks in this thread bemoaning people spelling incorrectly or using “wrong” grammar on purpose – ya know, like black people on the internet or the younger generations.

Do you have resources expanding on this? Beyond the communist manifesto?

What HN client is this?

Many people write tests before writing code. This is common and called Test Driven Development. Having an AI bruteforce your unit tests is actually already the basis for a “programming language” that I saw on hackernews a week or so ago.

I despise most AI applications, and this is definitely one. However it’s not some foreign concept impossible in reality:
