szóval technikailag nem adatközpontnak nevezném a főterminált, hanem maximum vallatószobának MI ügynökök részére, jelenleg el vagyok akadva a Windows 11 telepítésnél, és néhány könyvet és scriptet még lementenék róla úgy biztonságilag, mielőtt belefognék a vallatószoba kialakításába, itt tényleg olyan sandbox van, amiből nincs nagyon merre mászkálni, kivéve, ha direkt kiküldöm valamelyik webes alkalmazásra

So technically I wouldn't call the main terminal a data center, but more of an interrogation room for MI agents. I'm currently stuck installing Windows 11, and I'd like to download some books and scripts just to be safe before I start building the interrogation room. It's really a sandbox here, with nowhere to go except if I send it directly to a web application.

I've found myself really liking the "megamerge" workflow. Not an alias, just a whole thing.

How do you define slop in relation to ? For me, it is how quickly you get to an unmaintainable state- the acceleration into something that becomes difficult to work. I talk more about it here: hellodavid.dev/blog/slop

replied to:

Not that I think we're close to a canonical definition (as if we'll ever all agree on one) but my team has defacto adopted the definition of code that the developer responsible for it doesn't understand, approve of and essentially has now honestly reviewed. Basically anything which leads to cognitive debt.

replied to:

I agree, I don't think that there will ever be one canonical definition, but I like this definition as well, as it places the onus on the actual person creating the slop. Thank you for sharing!

Yep spill the beans

When I stopped having a job I completely lost interest of huge portion of things I used to have interest before. I could connect all of that to consumerism. And I haven't gained any of that interest back.

replied to:

Is it because you could no longer afford these things and had to budget?

replied to:

I quit knowing I am financially ok. (I was likely burnt out, had to leave a place I greatly loved but I still left). I still can't exactly explain this.

replied to:

Sounds like it was a gut feeling, I hope it works out for you, and in the meantime, you discover new passions. But I understand, unemployment leads to feelings of apathy.

textlog runs on a 2.5€/mo vps 1 core/2gb ram, using just one instance of Bun with its embedded SQLite. Works perfect and I run a few other apps as well on that machine.

replied to:

It is quite amazing what you can run in those small VPSes if you just build with them in mind.

Yeah, it survived being on 1st page of HN for a day just fine! Snappy, didn't sweat at all.

I am writing a GIS app for Android and iOS. Any opinions/suggestions?

replied to:

Make it easy for users to export polygons. My municipal GIS didn't for some reason so I had to guess by moving the mouse around and manually type the coordinates into Marble.

replied to:

Thanks for the suggestion. Export feature added.
