juststeve··on Rust is a hard way to make a web API
Yes, and this article proposes no solutions and is kind of whinge-y. edit: downvotes? ok, got it.
juststeve··on Debian discusses vendoring again
Yep that was my take on it as well. Vendors should be able to test their software against a vanilla install of debian stable and build the deb package themselves, and then upload to the package repository for review. Else, the vendor provides instructions/support on their external website.
juststeve··on On Repl-Driven Programming
100%, and that also applies to the original author.

Building a script from the REPL might mean running different parts of the code out of order (such as reloading a function definition). As you mentioned, it's easy to lose track of state, writing 'clever'/unmaintainable code, and forgetting the order and purpose of the code.

juststeve··on Streaming Is Stalling: Can Music Keep Up in the Attention Economy?
tl;dr, curation and commentary (with insight) are also essential skills like musicianship, where music supply feels endless.
juststeve··on Streaming Is Stalling: Can Music Keep Up in the Attention Economy?
Agree with all of that except the last paragraph - streaming album/LP's suck, and I've had spotify and apple accounts for years. As an alternative, I'd kindly recommend (to anyone) finding a few independent radio stations in genres you like or are new to. I feel that a good DJ and/or announcer is a godsend in an environment where the music alternatives feel endless and the social environment is complex. I just don't think that 'AI' or any SQL implemented 'playlist generator' will match a good DJ set with commentary.

juststeve··on Goodbye, Native Apps
yep, so the goal should be to compile everything down to light binary images the first time, and not require mobile devices work it all out at runtime.
juststeve··on Goodbye, Native Apps
> I do wonder if there is a role for AI generated native code from some form of psuedocode.

I think that's pretty much what a good compiler is meant to do?

smaller binary images would be amazing though, especially when OS dependencies are required

juststeve··on Goodbye, Native Apps
Or native apps will go through a revival due to new languages, compiler optimizations and access to intrinsics and C libraries.
