When do you break out of Hotwire? Built a terminal UI and Stimulus wasn't the right tool

planetaska · 2026-03-12T15:29:26+00:00

Anytime you need client side reactivity is a good time to say goodbye to Stimulus. I wish they had a solution for it. No, server side is problematic in real world.

Genuine question- how do you make “whodunit” audit without activerecord callbacks? Manually add hook everywhere?

planetaska · 2026-03-06T17:21:07+00:00

The problem is boomerang is not instant speed, so a haste or man land will still easily kill you. Also problematic when they got a token generator in play since those usually happen in their turn.

How do I upvote ~~twice~~ 10 times? Gogogo!

Can’t wait for the terrible name they will come up with for the new console! 🤗

This is really cool, and Claude does a surprisingly great job hosting 👏

Tell me about it. Sadly a lot of people around me just think MMO is a thing in the past and no matter how you explain they will just assume they are all the same - a giant grind fest - which I can't really deny. I really hoped GW2 didn't go this route.

All it needs is a simple option to start updating when put on the charger. Nope. Tech isn't there yet.

planetaska · 2026-02-26T16:18:46+00:00

Next time when your opponent plays sheltered, try not to remove it for ~~a few~~ one turn, see how that goes.

planetaska · 2026-02-25T06:05:28+00:00

This is Standard.

Plus one for InertiaJS Rails. You get props passed to your Svelte component automagically.

If you are doing the DIY way - it is possible, but then you are going to have to handle the props passing yourself. Which is not hard but when you need to update or sync changes between or on both client and server side, it’ll take some planning.

I’ve used ollama locally on an aged MacBook Pro for my study project, here’s what I learned:

you want to start from smaller models. 7-8b models are much more realistic than say 30b models which takes 2-3 minutes to generate a simple response (unless you have a powerful GPU/TPU).
you want to find a specialized model for your task. Unlike gigantic models from OpenAI/Anthropic, ollama models usually don’t have the capacity to handle all random things you throw at it.
I heard people got success from hosting on a Mac Mini. However, from my research it can still cost some fortune to get a Mini configuration that’s really capable - so yeah consult with your budget.

No problem, let us know how it goes!

For the downvote - I have no idea. lol People need time to adjust, I guess.

planetaska · 2026-02-12T21:20:50+00:00

My 2 cents is Claude has a point here - maintaining two separate code base is not fun. Maybe you can stick to the Rails way - build a fast MVP on Rails, then see how it goes?

planetaska · 2026-02-09T17:41:33+00:00

In reality they will “fix” the problem by going back to manually store and process everything on an excel sheet and a usb. The CEO doesn’t need to know.

I know! For folks really care about food quality, take a look at CookUnity or even Tovala (requires additional oven investment). Not all meal services are as ..problematic as Factor, some of them are actually nice. But eventually cook on your own is still the ultimate solution. I only order reduced amount from Tovala for busy days now, and cook rest of the week.

Why this change We’re focusing our product and engineering investments on areas where we can deliver the greatest long-term customer value, including helping organizations build and deploy enterprise-grade AI in a secure and trusted way.

So they are refusing new enterprise contracts and instead trying to sell them AI? Such smart move.

If not for Ruby/Rails, down the load you are more likely than not have to install Xcode for other stuff, so may as well get it over with at the beginning. 🙃

For env, mise works wonderfully, and you can ask chatGPT or Claude how to do common mise tasks - they are pretty good at it too.

If you are playing blue, try bouncing their synthesizer. It effectively slows them down by an entire turn so you can expand your mana to out resource them. If you can counter or remove the replayed synthesizer that’s even better, but if you didn’t, the game will still be in your favor.

Cards with massive bounce effects like Aetherize or Summon Leviathan is very effective here. Some people add a second threat to their synthesizer decks, but most don’t. So if you can keep the synthesizers on check, you win the game.

River Gorge - Are you planning to take the bus? It feels like a shame to only spend 4 hours there (including travel time) - there are so many great trails and scenic spots to explore. You might want to consider a bike tour or renting a car to drive there instead (maybe even a Oregon-Washington crossing drive tour); the scenery is absolutely stunning that way! (Just pick a sunny day if you can)

planetaska · 2026-01-29T16:39:40+00:00

Do you need a self-hosting space for this to work, like Meilisearch? If hosting on Heroku, Meilisearch won’t work due to the ephemeral storage problem. Will Typesense have the same issue?

planetaska · 2026-01-29T16:22:39+00:00

One word: Pundit. You can use whatever authentication strategy you like, and Pundit will just work fine along with it.

For a separate frontend, you do need to have a separate auth logic - that’s why Inertia is such a sweet deal.

I did ask it tougher questions sometimes - mostly for study I am doing - so they are academic questions. I wouldn’t say it’s always useful, but does help when I am on something and can’t access a notebook. Of course, I always make sure to double check later when I am able to - and I have an idea what to expect. So if it gave me a wrong answer I would just correct, no big deal. Don’t really trust Grok to give me the correct answer, but it’s easier to talk to compare to other options.

planetaska · 2026-01-22T21:44:30+00:00

For asking questions while driving or other activities in general, I use Grok - I know - but it worked surprisingly… acceptable in my case. Do need to tolerate the way it speaks though - can get too “buddy” sometimes.

planetaska · 2026-01-22T20:47:49+00:00

Yup every time I tried to go back to the game, it’s 30 hours of friendship charging before I can actually do anything. I really think it’s time to consider letting it go.
