So the QueryLanguage is just marketing?

So did i just make this up until now (now, that it was shown in a study), or was this not common belief?

through the darkness, every cry through every scream, for all the pain you‘ve taken— and not given me.

I've read some apps that love to take too much control run CPU related checks amongst other things.

No android experience or usecase, just wonder how that works and how one would workaround that.

hardly the most creative code i have written, but though not done yet (last commit 2y ago– if this even gives me the right to keep using that word)... i still enjoy the idea very much. less struggle & more time to wander off for me, and i will finish it. but till today, nobody has seen it anyway, and likely not many will. this rough & badly executed idea, might not die a lonely death.

If this is true, i kindly ask the author to not feel embarrassed or "exposed", but be honest, so we can learn from this. I'd like to gain confidence in these type of "LLM exposed" things, but it never seems like people would admit, no matter how obvious. And of course, here it is not obvious, this is of course a wild, very judgemental guess.

I haven't used node in years, so i wonder: What is used instead?

you should always prefer a codebase optimized for the business, the purpose & the people who work on it everyday. if that requires more time to grasp it for newcomers, perfect. people make that weird argument all the time for going with a framework due to popularity & common ground. that’s so absurd. optimizing for onboarding time & quickest graspability, when that factor is usually irrelevant in most projects.

also, the best thing about modern PHP are the PSRs. They are not appreciated enough. Stick with them. Don’t be clever. Don’t use magic. Be explicit. Don’t don’t repeat yourself. Write code like your mom reads it. Et voilá, your homemade framework is gonna be just fine.

Especially compared to projects built around frameworks by devs who very rarely if ever look at the source code of the magic they use. debugging and fixing those issues took more of my lifetime than the hours i’ve put into updating my personal web app framework (latenight-php).

Also: Choosing which tire you want doesn’t equal reinventing it. And also: thank good people reinvented the wheel so many times… imagine EVs on rolling stones or wooden wheels.

I propose a better name: Simple Message Spec (SMS)!

FORK THE SYSTEM!

I am not ready yet, but are you for hire to help a startup with your expertise in the near future? How could I contact you?

I'd guess that to 90% of the people on the planet, any linux desktop distro would not even be a "normal" computer ("operating system", if they even know what that means).

Aaaalso, as always, everyone... please stop calling them the M-word. It's still the greedy, creepy facebook. Don't let them claim this awesome word & get away with making people forget who they truly are.

But i was kind of hoping you were using a much cheaper cam & that the cheap cameras just became much better. Even the nikon is out of my price range for this project. Just wanted something ok, fiddle with the lighting & have it mounted on the ceiling to film a few hours during a few days. In case you got another tip for me other than a gopro.

But thank you. Also thanks for telling me about topaz labs. Looks interesting & haven't heard about them at all before.

I envisioned a similar look for some video shots from my office. I know, lighting setup is key here, but which camera did you use?

Specifically the gif / video-loop with for "waiting".

Really well done everything.

Sometimes it's about bundling potential rather than exploitation. I have read many stories of the people who worked for jobs, not many of the "first ones" seem to tell stories of being exploited. But many seem to be proud of how much work they put into their work guided by a guy who seems to be there mostly for saying yey or ney. Which seems to be crucial.

Think about all the dysfunctional organizations you have seen or worked with. In my experience, most of them were lacking clarity, responsibility, personal investment & decisions.

The potential to end all wars, end hunger, free societies etc is there. I mean just on HN, the potential to transform the world by tomorrow is there. There is enough people with good will, enough people in key positions, enough people who are the best in their field, enough people who love to hack away as a side project, enough people who enjoy debating etc... here on HN.

All that is missing is the right approach to get a few of these people together with the right goal and by tomorrow we could take out / stop a lot of evil. This person must be able to "market", to bundle potential. But this person must also be able to identify potential & make hard decisions & do the things others would call "insensitive". Otherwise the people would quickly lose interest or be lost in chaos.

Focusing potential seems to be the most crucial part. Having a lot of potential but high entropy seems to be irrelevant in most cases.

Anyway, had to type it out because i just realized that partially i am doing the same mistake with my startup. Too stuck fiddling on the tech while knowing that i should be focusing on bundling potential. Currently i am just contributing to a entropic potential, which serves no one. Bundling it might serve the right people, at the right time with the right people.

Which infects my mind with the question i have been struggling with: is there any way someone like jobs could have been more than just a marketer in your eyes?

I do feel like i am looking down upon people like jobs who seem to be happy with just talking and never trying to really do the things themselves. On the other hand having this opinion of potential entropy... what do you think?

Edit: just wanted to add the after thought that people most likely call these people geniuses, whose way of achieving results they can't quite comprehend. And usually for people too attached from the problematic domain, the same geniuses could appear like idiots or sharlatans.
