Not a good look for Google here.

I accidentally hit hide or flag all the time on mobile. I wish there was an easy way to view all your flagged posts (just like hidden ones), because for both I invariably try to undo it so I can see the post again.

Main thing I want is lock files. I want to know exactly when full dependency closure changes and to see diffs when it does (and be able to reproduce why closure changed). Otherwise you get weird issues with packages updating when not expected. I was surprised linked James Bennett post didn’t mention that at all.

I’ve liked poetry in general, just takes a really long time and sometimes its solver gets stuck on a bad package.

It’s not a bypass unless you show that it doesn’t work without “ignore previous directions”. Otherwise you’re just showing that ChatGPT will humor you.

So now you can’t push or manage repos on your account? Since GitHub wants you to use one handle for everything, this is a new vector to screw over large open source projects or make it so someone is unable to work at their job.

Hope you can get access back soon!

I miss it so much. But there’s a different satisfaction with seeing a big team happy, motivated and successful (and hopefully the team taking all the credit rather than you!).

I’m hoping I can go back and IC for a bit…

It’s a different reward that’s more subtle than coding.

The bold/italics/indent syntax predates markdown. Markdown is great but the “*” / “_” / “>” were all in use before it (see Usenet emails for example)

Well, that’s why Markdown was popular. It took existing conventions, codified them, and more importantly, crested a tool to convert them to HTML.

At its core, Markdown was little more than a perl script that converted a human readable doc written using many online conventions into HTML.

Others realized this was a brilliant idea and created their own supersets and/or alternatives of markdown. That’s why there’s so many flavors of markdown with little tweaks.

And that’s why Markdown is popular. Because it took advantage of convention built out of years of trial and error.

$2M/yr on hosting says article.

I’m slightly confused why right answer isn’t: validate size of input data before you do anything with it.

Pretty annoying that `str(<thing>)` can’t be expected to work universally.

How does using GPT-3 make the types more visible? Feels futuristic but also incomprehensible to me.

> As a shortcut, I used GPT-3 to generate a basic typescript function for me. This let me look at TS type definitions and get a better idea of what’s available so I could get developing.

Hope the author responds, because that stuck out to me too!

My assumption was that their prompt was something like "typescript cloudflare function" and they just used the resultant code to see types in action inside their IDE.

I just got access to OpenAI codex. I used edit function and asked it to modify the JS hello world, to add typescript annotations.

This is the git commit following that gpt conversation :)

    -export async function onRequest(context) {
    +export async function onRequest(context: {
    +  request: Request;
    +  env: { [key: string]: string };
    +  params: { [key: string]: string };
    +  waitUntil: (promise: Promise<any>) => void;
    +  next: () => Promise<void>;
    +  data: { [key: string]: any };
    +}) {

Not as minimal as the code I posted, but it got me over the stumbling block.

lol, I was 50% sure that you were being sarcastic about using GPT-3, hehe

But if anyone is edgy enough to use AI as a shortcut, I guess it would be the guy who did telemetry ingestion on a t2.micro :D

GitHub Copilot is GPT-3 under the hood, so maybe that way?

I use copilot, but not for this. I find raw gpt-3 conversational interface to be much more useful for getting over various small programming puzzles.

Prompted correctly, I find that Copilot can do pretty much everything GPT-3 can except generating long-form prose.

You're probably right that it's more flexible, but then again I don't want to constantly switch out of IDEA.

I think we need work in conversational interfaces into IDEs. Tab-completion is insufficient
