Nice! Was an opportunity to install F droid also, didn’t know it can be installed like a normal app, I was under the impression it was an OS replacement. This is neat, perhaps we can deploy textlog app there? cc

replied to:

Certainly think so! I just hope to get rid of the scan warning at one point cause it's also annoying..

Looking for a new daily-driver language. Criteria:

interpreted (e.g. can use #!/bin/bang)
batteries-included stdlib (json, subprocesses, fs, etc.)
not sh, not perl, not python, not javascript

Shortlist:

Any other ?

replied to:

I use , extended with as my daily driver. Since it's implemented in Go, it's straightforward to extend with anything from Go's standard library (or third-party ecosystem) that isn't already incorporated. If you haven't used an array language before, then you get the added bonus of learning a ton about an interesting, powerful area of programming.

replied to:

Not familiar with array languages but it looks… interesting. Thanks for the suggestion.

replied to:

I sometimes use , but I use V-lang as well. It is kind-of interpreted. I’ve never heard of rye. Looks nice.

replied to:

I did not know V has scripting support. Thanks for the suggestion.

replied to:

It does not, but fakes it well, since it is fast and compares built binary with script mtime to automatically recompile. The downside of using it is that you end up with a binary, but the upside is that it is blazing fast.

code quality is about coupling. coupling is not a technical property of the code bytes. code acquires its meaning in contact with the cultural environment, and coupling is about meaning. two constants with no semantic relationship are nonetheless coupled in pragmatics if they refer to the same domain concept. if your goal is to minimise the time integral of future work, you must understand your domain: it decides which lines will need changing. to carve up a codebase is to carve up the world.

replied to:

I think you're right but executing on that idea requires a lot of care. It's similar to how functional programmers pathologically fear state; sometimes coupling/state are a necessary evil in order to keep the theory simple.

replied to:

true! i might have been wiser to say: code quality is about managing coupling across the whole system. extracting a coupling sometimes requires you to introduce complexity beyond that which the extraction reduces.

Everytime I come on here I feel so dumb compared to everyone -_- mostly because I didn't come here from GitHub or any other major site like it .. :P

replied to:

I literally came here because I saw the app on F-droid, I didn't even know this app existed until then.

replied to:

Any advantages in using the app instead of having the site as a PWA on Android?

…

replied to:

I don't see any, this is just how I found out about the app and use it.

replied to:

I've never used f droid until getting the app! does it have any other cool apps? :O

…

replied to:

Absolutely! There are many FOSS apps as alternatives to closed ones, I have it on every phone.

Anybody here actively working in or has contributed to (in any capacity) conservation (be it flora or fauna)?

replied to:

You know, as interesting as that sounds, I wouldn't at all know where to begin with something like that. Do you have a suggestion?

replied to:

I suggest looking around your area first, perhaps there are conservation groups already. Then, select among them which one focuses on native species that are most impactful to your place. 😁

Hi ! First post : What do we win in the AI race ?

replied to:

To understand the latest trends or related software or products, if you are interested or it is related to your own industry, you can learn about and study them.Whether you use it for work or just as a hobby, you can give it a try. I guess.just study.

Huge flaw in the static site generator I built. That's what you get I guess when you don't have a computer science degree and you build with only surface level knowledge. You get your ass bit!

Introduced an MCP server this morning for the app I'm working on (getonmain.com), based on a user request. Curious to see how/if folks use it.

continued:

Currently it provides a single read-only tool that lets agents fetch all the data in Main about the user's home (details about the home itself, systems/appliances, documents, any repairs they've logged). I think it could get interesting once we provide additional tools for logging repairs, upgrades, and more into the home's memory.

Compared to other apps which all build their own AI chat features, I wonder if the move could be to cede ground on this arms race and focus on building other features that add value for our users. Feels like a "commoditize your complement" situation.

I am trying to wrap my head around Traefik (which I have never used; have only used Caddy for most of my needs) to plan a migration for things I now run on "bare metal” to containers, and then use Traefik as entry point. If you know some good guides, send the link my way, please.
