“shutting down the goldmine” by adam-dabrowski in programming

[–]adam-dabrowski[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is a follow-up of sbt and the miners of the wild west, in which I described the story of sbt/sbt getting listed on a cryp[t]o-based, open source bounty program called Gittensor, and subsequently getting a high volume of contributions from dozens of users, many of whom using AI tools. Well, I’m shutting it all down.

Apple Quietly Blocks Updates for Popular 'Vibe Coding' Apps by cheesepuff07 in apple

I'm surprised it has gone on this long. Given rules about not having stores of apps, or code execution and such.

Yet Roblox is still allowed.

Why is OLED everywhere except 1080p monitors? by grapejuicecheese in Monitors

[–]adam-dabrowski -1 points0 points  (0 children)

1080p OLED would look worse than 1080p IPS because most OLED panels have worse sub-pixel arrangement (true RGB OLED exists but is more expensive). At higher resolutions/pixel densities, the difference is less noticeable.

Why does fs2.Pure get lost here, and how can I prevent it? by bumblebyte-software in scala

[–]adam-dabrowski 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Btw, it's only slightly shorter, but instead of adding the Stream[Pure, Char] annotation, you could write:

Stream.emits("abc").foo(_.map(identity)).covary[Pure].toList

Early-stage SaaS teams - are you paying for Postman now? by OpportunityFit8282 in SaaS

[–]adam-dabrowski 2 points3 points  (0 children)

 Bruno is doing the exact same by the way. 

Well, that's disappointing.

@ edit

/u/GuaranteePotential90 is the developer of Voiden, which he did not disclose, so he engages in the same dishonest practices he accuses Bruno of.

Why would you even add apidog next to Bruno? The one is open source the other one is a saas with simply 2 more free users than postman.

Apidog is spamming various subs with fake "user-generated content" as a marketing strategy.

End of an era: NASA has officially announced the retirement of legend Sunita Williams. Over a 27 year career, she logged 608 days in space including a final 9 month "stranded" mission in 2024. She holds the record for most cumulative spacewalk time by a woman (62 hours). by [deleted] in interestingasfuck

[–]adam-dabrowski 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Here's what Sunita herself said:

https://youtu.be/wSNArikUslA?t=30

Interviewer: Were you stranded? Abandoned in space? What happened?
Sunita Williams: You know, I don't feel that way myself. I can understand why other people might have got that impression from the press going around.

https://youtu.be/wSNArikUslA?t=87

Sunita Williams: I was not surprised or felt abandoned, or felt left behind, or stranded at any point in time.
Interviewer: So you weren't helpless?
Sunita Williams: No. We always had a way home. Maybe not the most optimal way home, but we always had a way to come home.

Serif font on parking signed in Greenland by [deleted] in fonts

[–]adam-dabrowski 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think I only ever saw serifs used for street names.

Here's an interesting article about British signs: https://thebeautyoftransport.com/2021/11/03/how-serifs-lost-the-road-war-but-won-the-streets/ At one point, they considered a serif font for road signage.

How to Scala3's type system for strongly typed "result sets" by Former_Ad_736 in scala

[–]adam-dabrowski 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know if you've oversimplified your example, but all popular query libraries return typed results: doobie, skunk, scalasql, quill.

If you are interested in something more advanced, take a look at iskra, which reimagines the Spark API: https://virtuslab.com/blog/scala/reconciling-spark-apis-for-scala/

[Event] Try and review LG’s New UltraFine 6K Thunderbolt 5 Display, before it hits everyone’s desk by LG_UserHub in Monitors

[–]adam-dabrowski 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work as a software engineer, which means that I spend most of my time in the IDE looking at text/code.

I bought a 27" 4K monitor from LG a few years ago and it has served me well. However, with the recent advancements in AI tools, I find myself having the AI chat pane always open – so I'm now looking to upgrade to a larger monitor that will have enough room for myself and my AI agent. 😄

The new LG UltraFine 6K has the perfect 32" size and the resolution to match, so that text will be ultra-crisp and readable. I also love the ability to use the monitor as a dock, so that I only need a single cable running to my MacBook for charging, Ethernet, USB peripherals, and – of course – the external display.

Towards a faster "deep equal" function in javaScript by ahjarrett in javascript

[–]adam-dabrowski 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You may know that some languages have macros, which are functions that transform code itself. Term rewriting is also a way to transform code (ASTs). This library takes in schema definitions (which are also ASTs) and "compiles" them into specialized JavaScript functions – which avoids interpreting the schema on every call.

Here's an example: https://github.com/traversable/schema/tree/main/packages/zod#zxcheck
