  • What's the most fun programming language to learn?

    Jump

  • I can't comment as I've not used scheme but looking at scheme's syntax, elixir is much nicer. It's supposed to take some of its inspiration from Ruby.

    The big seller is that it runs on the Erlang VM so you get all the goodies for free: supervisor trees, OTP, processes, even able to call Erlang directly. It is both scriptable and compiled. Not so much suited for high performance computing though as benchmarls will show, but it is interesting to learn and I have gained a lot from exposing myself to functional programming paradigms.

  • Elixir. Especially with OTP to write distributed systems. Or with phoenix and liveview for web apps

    It's a functional language based on Erlang with a nicer syntax

  • I used to use B2 before the whole CEO financial issues came out (not another one accused of something unsavoury) and wasn't sure how it's going to pan out. I switched to a cheaper (per GB) Hetzner storage box and am super happy with it

    I use restic, specifically https://github.com/garethgeorge/backrest for making backups and uploading them via rclone.

  • A lot of good stuff here. Especially realising how useful an LLM actually is for coding. It's a tool and like most tools has a purpose and a limit. I don't use a screwdriver to put in nails (well sometimes I do at a pinch, but the results suck) or cut wood in half. Spicy autocomplete is probably a good use case, but even then "use with care" should be employed.

    The whole "prompt it correctly" stuff is pn point. People have written books on how to correctly and effectively prompt the LLM. If I need to read a book to learn something, why not just read the book on how to do the thing? Or use the LLM to summarise the book, then at least you're going to get somewhat accurate information. We had someone create an AGENTS.md at work and I read it and it just sounds like a joke "You are expert in this and the human known everything. If unsure ask the human" etc. If the main gain is that I don't need to type so much I might as well use voice dictation.

    That is aside the financial, environmental, health, and safety issues and damages that are all bundled in for free. If people just saw it for what it is, instead of glamourising them as the panacea for all their problems.

  • Are we still vulnerable if our app doesn’t use React Server Functions endpoints?

    Potentially. According to the React Team, even if React Server Functions are not in-use, the vulnerability is still exploitable if React Server Components are supported.
