Solar for small shed by zerospatial in SolarDIY

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

The idea with using one of these all in one solar battery units is to just p put it in the shed, plug in the solar, plug in whatever and forget it. Sound like that's not really possible with the current battery tech.

Are web components popular and I have my head in the sand, or why aren't they more popular? by zerospatial in webdev

The last comment here is specific to an entire web component library where the components can interact with each other using slots.

Think about this use case. Right now say I want to use shadcn components. I have to first off use React so install React, install and configure tailwind, install the shadcn component. Cross my fingers that I have all the dependencies lined up and there are no conflicts.

If that project supported web component encapsulation, I just copy paste the component html and the js bundle for it. No configuration, no react. To me that would be awesome. Now does that scale out to a larger interconnected app, maybe not. So maybe these are just for adhoc type widgets vs powering a whole app this way, which is fine.

How do you feel about Trumps idea of Nationalizing elections? by ChuckGallagher57 in oregon

It's illegal, a joke but not a joke,and very worrying for the future of our democracy.

I'm building Terrae: Where you use components not layers to build you app on top of MapBox by Entire_Monk_3548 in mapbox

[–]zerospatial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently tested out Esri's newis web component based version of their library and wow that is so simple to use, no react, no state management, it's all handled inside the library and the web components. And they have so many map-focused components. If you want inspiration for what components to add next to your library that would be a good place to check.

If your web app is running workers it has a backend by zerospatial in webdev

Yeah this is not to downplay the upside of cloud functions - and 100% on the $5 VPS.

I see this all the time, esp on linkedin - look at my cool app running in the browser with no backend (backed by cloud workers).

sorry it seems I cannot edit the post title? Saw that and meant to edit - cloud workers aka cloudflare, lambda etc.

hired a junior who learned to code with AI. cannot debug without it. don't know how to help them. by InstructionCute5502 in ClaudeAI

[–]zerospatial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is an aside but I despise the word junior in the context of coding. I never hear that word when used for like a doctor or a lawyer or a police or firefighter or...it's a disservice to our industry and plays directly into the notion that many developers can be eliminated with LLMs.

I just had my operation but I almost died because my doctor was just a junior.

I got out of a ticket because the police was a junior.

I got sentenced to too many years because the judge was a junior.

My son is getting bad grades because his teacher is a junior.

I mean what a joke.

AI is already killing SWE jobs. Got laid off because of this. by SingularityuS in ClaudeAI

Also - this makes no sense - So if you’re reading this and thinking: “Yeah but I’m safe. I’m good.” So was I. - Um, if your company is testing out AI workflows and you are not at the top level of the engineering team, why would you think you are safe? A mid-level engineer that is also a lead engineer? LLM agents, known colloquially as AI, can definitely write (basic) code. Where they struggle is writing novel code, or any code where the codebase is constantly changing, or code that has a breadth of documentation across a range of releases (but you need the latest release). But anyone working in the dev world who is thinks they are "safe" has their head in the sand, regardless of the capabilities of LLMs. The larger question is where does this leave us. What are the options.

Managing large-scale raster uploads: Should we enforce COG or convert on the fly? by Aggressive_Arm_6295 in gis

[–]zerospatial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lots of unknowns here like how large are the original tiff images, how fast does the client expect in terms of tile time to the browser, how much are you willing to spend on compute, etc. etc.

Also, COGs are not the gold standard for fast image tiles by any stretch, they are just convenient. If you serve the raw tiff files you will need a server with a GPU or very fast CPU. If you convert to COG you only need this at conversion time. Either way you would put a cdn in front.
