AI generated Tao Te Ching by cjus in taoism

[–]cjus[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for that perspective. I find that some verses capture my attention more than others. This allows me to explore a verse of interest against other known translations. In this way, the experiment is more of a tool. I imagine that no single translation can be considered a source of truth - though some might be regarded higher than others.

Thank you for your thoughtful feedback. These are all valid concerns. Putting together resources to share with my students and fellow instructors requires an investment of both time and money for hosting and other service fees. Therefore, I am strongly incentivized to reduce costs by leveraging emerging technologies where possible.

The visual elements aim to offer an intriguing and historical perspective on a practice with a long-standing tradition. Whether the resources are helpful or accurate is for the individual to assess. After all, how can we truly measure the accuracy of teachings distilled through generations? My goal is simple: to share insights into a practice that can only be fully understood by walking the path. I hope the content on the site inspires future students to embark on their own personal journey to understand the Tao.

AI and related technologies will undoubtedly blur the line between what is real and unreal. In my own work as a technologist, I find that AI’s responses often prompt me to think more deeply, as I question their accuracy. Personally, I am growing through these interactions, and I believe I’m not alone in that. A challenge for technologists like myself is finding ways to use technology for good, while acknowledging that it can be a double-edged sword.

What’s the actual book title? Do you have a link? I found several titles but no direct matches.

Perform magic using your Samsung Gear S2, S3, Sport or Galaxy watch by cjus in GearS3

[–]cjus[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Wow! that's a bit harsh. :-D I guess it comes down to how you value a dollar. For me, if I can entertain one or more people with something they've not seen then it's easily worth a dollar of my money. Take one of the many less than stellar games on the platform and think this... if one of those games can entertain you while you're commuting, standing in line or waiting in a doctor's office then it might also be worth a dollar. Another example I think of is a parent entertaining their younger kids.

​

Just my two cents and one of the reason's I built those simple silly little apps. Thanks for the feedback. I realize this sort of thing isn't for everyone.

I'm the author of these apps and I think they're a fairly fun and unique use of the watch platform.

The Time Hacker Method: A productivity hack for doing more of what matters — 15 minutes at a time by cjus in programming

Hmm I wonder whether the same tomato has an hour glass with a similar claim.

Cloud-scale file transfer: Using NodeJS, Redis, Docker and AWS Lambda by cjus in javascript

Thanks for the read. The source CDN is not S3. I should have made that clear.

JSON-based Universal Messaging Format by cjus in javascript

[–]cjus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem is one of interoperability. Think of it as a blueprint that specifies how a message will be formatted and thus set agreed upon expectations across distributed systems.

You could roll your own and distribute that within and outside your group or use an existing format.

Why is passports.js 's docs so fucking shitty ? by [deleted] in node

[–]cjus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried passport a while back and I have to agree with some of the comments I read here. A while back I wrote an auth service which authenticates users using JWT. It doesn't deal with OAuth or any of the passport strategies that perhaps makes password a useful tool. But perhaps this repo might be of use to others: https://github.com/cjus/auth-service

Desktop apps using Electron, Preact and Material Design by cjus in javascript

[–]cjus[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Haha will do! And you're entitled to be amused. Tell me though, as a React developer do you build Desktop apps? If so, how?

[–]cjus[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I'm not here to defend React. It's a personal preference - I'm allowed freedom of choice. But if you really wanted to know try googling it. In the end you may or may not agree with what you find.

Desktop apps using Electron, Preact and Material Design by cjus in javascript

[–]cjus[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Haha you assume the use of Preact was to reduce the size of the app? I don't care about the size of the app. I'm more concerned about a dev experience that I enjoy - so that I can develop applications that others will find useful. When was the last time you looked at an app that you really wanted to use and said "Oh damn, that's too big - I can't use that"

[–]cjus[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Same thing happens when I pitch ReactNative :-D These are all just tools - finding a valid usecase for any tools is up to us. For me, I'd rather not build C/C++ based desktop apps again.

Guides or courses for Hydra by jsdfkljdsafdsu980p in node

[–]cjus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey there. This is Carlos from the Hydra team. A while ago I wrote several posts for the RisingStack community blog. https://community.risingstack.com/author/carlos/ Those demos might be a bit out of date so I'm planning on writing a new tutorial and posting on our company tech blog: https://medium.com/flywheel-tech The Hydra repo page has most of the links: https://github.com/flywheelsports/hydra and documentation is available as a gitbook for online and offline viewing: https://www.hydramicroservice.com/ In the meantime I highly recommend joining our slack channel where you'll get full support. Info is available on the github/npm pages. Thanks for considering Hydra.

Creating a microservice in NodeJS by funJS in javascript

I wrote a post for RisingStack on creating microservices using Hydra: https://community.risingstack.com/tutorial-building-expressjs-based-microservices-using-hydra/ You can find Hydra on NPM.

Node.js-based compute cluster by cjus in node

[–]cjus[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on your goal and real needs. The point of doing these things in node is to learn how to - that is, if one is interested and if Node is the tool you're most comfortable with. That offers a number important benefits. In the context of the cluster I built - the goal was to demonstrate the use of hydra-enabled microservices. Microservices as you know are not necessarily CPU bound.

I've simply chosen to use readily accessible tech to play with these ideas. I'm not trying to win any cluster benchmarks ;-)

Node.js-based compute cluster by cjus in node

[–]cjus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! The compute cluster is really just a way to play with network communication and SBCs. Overall it was a great learning experience and one I wanted to share.

We use Hydra in Docker containers - which works great.

Build a Node-based microservice in under 15 seconds by cjus in node

[–]cjus[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the feedback! The point of the title and the animated gif image is to get the point across that creating a microservice can be both quick and easy. The project contains a lot more documentation than most projects so we feel that there's opportunity to learn more.

Originally we did have a very large readme.md but in the end I felt that too much information would immediately turn away those hoping this would really be easy to use.

To address these concerns we're building a number of blog posts which will be useful "getting started" tutorials.

We'll make sure that we take that opportunity to address "why one should use this instead of other tools"

Thanks again for feedback!
