NetOpWibby··on StackOverflow now gets fewer than 1000 questions a month
+1 to the outright hostility.

Good riddance.

NetOpWibby··on A Health Update
My condolences to you.

I just celebrated my 9th wedding anniversary but my wife and I have been together for 15 years. She lost her mom to cancer a couple years ago so that’s been in the back of my mind, randomly freaking me out.

Just focusing on enjoying a day at a time.

He made his money in the dotcom boom so he's not totally without smarts. Haven't heard from him since though.

I’m 38 and I worked for an IoT startup a decade ago until the CEO couldn’t pay us anymore (unbeknownst to us, he was emptying his bank account for it salaries instead of telling us months prior to start looking elsewhere).

I’ve mentioned in comments here and elsewhere that I wish I could’ve worked at Bell Labs or Xerox PARC…what a time that must’ve been. Alas. At least my side projects keep me busy; they don’t pay the bills yet but they’re the best chance I got to work on something meaningful and (eventually) get paid to do so.

   this got downvoted, ofc because i know nothing.
It’s the StackOverflow effect. If you aren’t an expert you’re punished for having the audacity to ask questions.

Even when starting Claude in dangerous mode, you still need to babysit it! Annoying.

NetOpWibby··on Thank You, Deno
Haha! Happy to spread awareness! I saw it being used somewhere several years ago and loved it.
NetOpWibby··on Thank You, Deno
There's a fork-in-progress called "Dodo," the Discord server is quickly filling up. https://github.com/denoland/deno/issues/37030#issuecomment-6...

Dodo aims to be a drop-in replacement.

Then there's Ende, my fork, and I ripped out Node compatibility, Deploy, KV, Jupyter, &c. https://ende.sh

Huge, if true.

Update, I'm doing a fork: https://ende.sh

LMAO, I'm sold.

Watch Dogs was ahead of its time. How long before one of these hacker groups claim the DedSec name as their own?

NetOpWibby··on A Remote Employee Refused 160 Webcam Photos a Day. Her Employer Fired Her
At my job, it was encouraged to to enroll your personal phone with the company's configs to make it easier to do work things. After a few months I took it off, it creeped me out and wasn't necessary to do my job.
NetOpWibby··on Show HN: One link, one message – replace it by paying $1 more than the last
Seems cool. I feel like it'd gain critical mass in the double digits.
NetOpWibby··on IRCv3
Amen.

I long to bring this back in a Miranda-IM way (super customizable), but other projects get in the way.

I don't care if only a handful of us (few milly) find it useful.

NetOpWibby··on How big is a Git commit?
I always use long options when possible. I don’t need terseness, computers do. I wanna help future me figure out how to run something.
NetOpWibby··on The Lightbulb Computer
This is an awesome concept. How do you see this working across several rooms (if you've thought this far)? This would be great for when I have ideas in the shower.
NetOpWibby··on Cloudflare acquires Deno
...well, who decided to embrace Node compatibility?!

The DX of Deno far surpasses Node (or at least it did, idk if Node has caught up in that regard).

What are the big problems you see that still need solving that a future Deno (fork) could handle?

EDIT: Talking to people in the Discord and was reminded that the community may have been the inspiration. Adoption was low so boom, add Node compatibility and now adoption grows. MEH.

If I'm doing a fork, I'm removing Node.

NetOpWibby··on Ideas aren't getting harder to find (2022)
Agreed. I've long wished for a second renaissance and while I didn't wish for waves hand all this, truly creative works and arts and discoveries are on the horizon. The human spirit perseveres.
NetOpWibby··on Ideas aren't getting harder to find (2022)
We’ve tricked sand into thinking, eradicated most diseases, and you’ll still see people claim with every fiber in their being, that something is impossible and someone on the other side of the world will instantaneously respond from their toilet.

If you’re tired of thinking, just say that. Don’t project your middling imagination onto others.

Sweet, thanks!
NetOpWibby··on Friendship ended with Deno, now Node is my best friend
I enjoy LLMs as much as the next guy but man, having a baseline of knowledge about coding goes a long way.
NetOpWibby··on Friendship ended with Deno, now Node is my best friend
> There is no reason to use the Deno runtime today.

LMAO okay bro.

With Deno I get TypeScript by default, security, a package manager that isn't riddled with nonsense and a dated UI, and I can compile my APIs to a single executable. No way am I going back to Node but then again, this ain't my blog post.

NetOpWibby··on Friendship ended with Deno, now Node is my best friend
LLMs don't reach for it because the frontier companies don't have it as the default. I've instructed Claude to NOT use React (use SvelteKit), NOT use Node (use Deno or Bun), among other things.

The industry defaults are trash but it is what it is.

NetOpWibby··on We want you to build the next Git platform on Cloudflare
$25,000 in Cloudflare credits for a revolutionary new Git platform by checks calendar a week and a half from now? I'm sure someone will go for this.

The funny things is, I'm actively working on a replacement for Github but it's not gonna be built on Cloudflare LMAO!

It's not gonna be ready by CLoudflare's deadline but I'm aiming to get the beta deployed by end of November. Plenty to do! It'll be available on eol.sh...

I think if someone can bring the Jonathan Computer and a mobile device that connects with that ecosystem, will be going towards a future we all want.

Modularity, connection, and true ownership.

NetOpWibby··on Muse Gadgets
I second this. Zuck gives me the ick, like that corpo villain in Ready Player One.

He wants to own the future for the sake of money, not because he wants to improve lives or entertain folks.
