Just give the AI command line access and it can do everything for you, haha.

I’m not sure what to think of AI agents and I’m writing a master’s thesis specifically about MCP security atm.

Makes me wonder what problems they faced with a Client/Server architecture.

Scope creep maybe? Supporting lots of platforms can be very time consuming.

Seems true.

I use Hugo for static site generation and it makes the RSS stuff for me.

Since no one mentioned it yet.

You can also add the executable to Steam as a non-steam game and in its settings you can configure Proton as compatibility tool.

That works quite well for some stuff.

Nah, it’s simply not a feature that exists. They’d need to implement an OAuth system or something along those lines.

But even if they do, what happens if the instance you authenticated from shuts down? You probably won’t be able to login anymore without having credentials there as well.

Good luck with the project.

I want to request a not-feature: One time I extracted an archive with an odd command that ended up dumping all its contents without directories straight into the base folder of the archive without a way to undo that. Please don’t make that possible with your tool. 😂

I had to manually clean up the directory.

While he advocates for it, that’s also a point that Martin brings up multiple times when he talks about his project “fitnesse”.

Basically saying that they left it open how stuff can be saved, but the need has never arisen to actually pivot to a different system.

My point is sematics.

You can style your whole webpage with divs, but using main, nav, footer or whatever blocks is semantically more correct, because you group elements together that have a certain purpose.

A HTML Tag in the middle of a sentence is not wrong per se, but when parsing it a line break could signify two sentences where one has missing punctuation, instead of a complete sentence as your original intention was.

I don’t really care how the design you want is achieved to be honest, but I don’t get why the prof didn’t argue against.

Oh boy.

We had a class in the first semester of uni where we had to create a static html page based on a screenshot.

There was this one textbox at the top of the site, where the only way you could recreate the screenshot was by using a <br/> in the middle of the text.

The prof was very picky about your HTML being semantically thorough and correct, so that was super weird that that was necessary.

Ha, that’s funny. When I run some Visual Studio builds on Windows it completely freezes at times.

Never have that issue on EOS with KDE.

100% that.

Especially that working software over comprehensive documentation part, which can be automated so easily if done right.

There’s so much value in TDD and providing a way to do integration and automated UI tests early on in a project, yet none of the companies I’ve worked at made use of it.

Also automated documentation tools like Swagger are almost criminally underutilised.

Unfortunately I can’t help you with Nobara, but I’m surprised you’re having troubles with EndeavourOS.

EOS has been working out of the box for me for almost everything.

Not really. Exceptions are a controlled way of indicating something went wrong in an application.

The only point where you wouldn’t know about the possibility of one is when you don’t know enough about the language features you’re using or when you use a badly documented library or framework.

Yeah, I had a similar case with some authentication middleware I used that was part of a library.

It would always throw an exception when a user wasn’t authenticated instead of just giving me some flag I could check.

Wouldn’t have done it that way, but it was okay for an API controller.

Another upside of Jetbrains over Adobe is that you can get edu-licenses that allow you to use every software of theirs.

The best deal our university could get from Adobe was 25% off on Photoshop if at least 200 students bought it.

Depends on who you think the people are.

CTOs, technical team leads and such can make those decisions. And devs can also suggest migrating to simpler solutions.

If a tech giant like Amazon can do it like they did with Prime Video, I don’t think it’s impossible other companies can do so too.

You can have the best tool in the world and still find people just hitting their own face with it.

Meme is funny, but that exception used as flow control hurts.

It doesn’t compile or transpile in actuality. It generates Java based on an abstract syntax tree. The concrete syntax is not considered in Java generation by MPS.
