shaunxcode··on The Border Crisis Won't Be Solved at the Border
borders are simply meant to indicate the demarcation of a process : they are dynamic and permeable : to make them literally concrete is folly of the highest order.
shaunxcode··on Canvas is a new way to write and code with ChatGPT
in a word : yuck : show your work : cite your sources : or say nothing at all
shaunxcode··on I Am Tired of AI
LLM/DEEP-MIND is DESTROYING lineage. This is the crux point we can all feel. Up until now you could pick up a novel or watch a film, download an open source library, and figure out the LINEAGE (even if no attribution is directly made, by studying the author etc.)

I am not too worried though. People are starting to realize this more and more. Soon using AI will be next google glass. LLM is already a slur worse than NPC in the youth. And profs are realizing its time for a return to oral exams ONLY as an assessment method. (we figured this out in industry ages ago : whiteboard interviews etc)

Yours truly : LILA <an LISP INTELLIGENCE LANGUAGE AGENT>

shaunxcode··on Why Scrum is stressing you out
as things are ready to be shown you will see them : this is how you will know
shaunxcode··on Aggregating all cinema showtimes in Germany with Clojure
Glorious. I vote for IMDB to be deshitified next!
shaunxcode··on Veo
truly removing the `id` from video.
shaunxcode··on Why Choose ULIDs over Traditional UUIDs or IDs for Database Identification?
Yeah that code example is odd to say the least.
shaunxcode··on Exploring the Power of CSS Container Queries Pros, Cons, and Beyond
Definitely flagged. There is no way a human would think this was worthy of writing let alone sharing.
shaunxcode··on Show HN: Parallel Arabic – Arabic reading and writing practice
This is great! As someone outgrowing Duolingo this is perfect. I do agree it would be nice to be able to switch between dialects.
shaunxcode··on Is modern mass media a mind prison?
The Society of the Spectacle: redux.
shaunxcode··on I outsmart myself to be productive
Not to gatekeep hn but.. wtf? Can we get a deluge of erlang posts or something? Maybe a prolog avalanche? Perhaps a plethora of Alan Kay interviews?
shaunxcode··on The Cell Programming Language
yep: https://www.cell-lang.net/faq.html
shaunxcode··on You Might Not Need a CRDT: Document Sync in the Wild [video]
I am assuming they want to add an offline mode?
shaunxcode··on AI PR adds auto generated comments to whole Spring Boot Project
The comments are worthless too.

Things like a method called Foo that takes a Bar so the comment says (in 3 or 4 lines)

“Foo takes a Bar”

Wow! The future is here!

shaunxcode··on Core Nginx Developer Forks Web Server into Freenginx
This sounds like good news ultimately.

:meta: I would love to have finished reading that article but a video ad started blaring loudly. I thought we, as a society, firmly agreed that was one of the greatest infractions next to purposely putting your hair in food prepared for others.

shaunxcode··on Punk is dead and so are we
hardcore punk is still alive and well. It's just actually underground. Most newer bands are back to tapes and zines, maybe a bandcamp.
shaunxcode··on LED Matrix Earrings
would definitely buy these!
shaunxcode··on Happy Birthday Lemmings
I definitely played it around 2001 when it was posted to slashdot!

https://monoskop.org/images/e/e3/Beer_Stafford_Designing_Fre... Even has diagrams!
shaunxcode··on John Walker, founder of Autodesk, has died
I was gently pushed towards the parenthetical path by a friends mother who worked as a autolisp programmer. So I have always had a fondness for the realm of Autodesk and thus John Walker.
shaunxcode··on Somewhere along the way we forgot about software craftsmanship
Yep so write it right the first time alright. Tonight! This is the rite!
shaunxcode··on Htmx and Web Components: A Perfect Match
I like both technologies as well! It feels like the sort of phase shift that happened when jquery got long in the tooth.
shaunxcode··on Kind of annoyed at React
Glad to be swapping ratoms while the hook phase of things resolves itself.
shaunxcode··on Smalltalk simplicity and consistency vs. other languages (2022) [video]
It’s all about doing. Next time you need to prototype something do it in your ideal language (this is the crux as you need to knock it out of the park). The next phase is showing how much more work it would have been in blub. The final phase is being prepared and capable enough to teach your co-workers!
shaunxcode··on Happy New Year HN!
For those who walk the straight edge: resist. Hold fast. This is the year we move beyond text.
shaunxcode··on Maelstrom: A workbench for learning distributed systems
Why do astronauts wear space suits?
shaunxcode··on My favorite database shirts
Never realized how much I would like a datomic shirt until now.
shaunxcode··on Pinball implemented using Squint, a ClojureScript dialect
Very exciting! Also here is link to cherry: https://github.com/squint-cljs/cherry
shaunxcode··on The Lessons of Lucasfilm's Habitat (1990)
Awww that explains the habitat references in the irc channel! I mean I was happy about it but now it makes even more sense.
shaunxcode··on "<ESC>[31M"? ANSI Terminal security in 2023 and finding 10 CVEs
this is an awesome comment. I have spent many hours (days?) reading through your site - especially the NeWS stuff!
