Dreams of Code

We did it! Thank you to everyone who's supported me on this journey 💜

@j4_v_3s Dude, please re-read my original post

@dreamsofcode_io You never mentioned anything about staying in the terminal. Obviously this is not possible for GUIs. I thought we were debating TUIs as a form of UI not their ability to keep you in the terminal

TUIs make a lot of sense in developer tools. Not because they are superior (debatable), but because they keep you in the terminal which is (for better or worse) the ultimate developer environment. It’s simple, scriptable, remotely accessible, and enforces good practices (text based output).

@j4_v_3s You’re debating the wrong pojnts. Name one gui application that keeps you in the terminal compared to using a tui application.

@dreamsofcode_io The terminal is literally a GUI. So if the characteristic you listed apply to the terminal, then any GUI should be able to do the same. GUIs not being either of those things by default is the decision of the program, not the paradigm.

@CSeaseasiv I hate so much that electron is the direct association with a gui desktop app now. I hope we can bring back native.

@dreamsofcode_io Not to mention, you can just malloc() and write 2GB of 1’s to be on par with electron, so you’re not giving up anything

@j4_v_3s All those characteristics apply to the terminal. It’s simple, scriptable, remotely accessible. GUIs are none of these things by default (they can be but are often not) Text based output is a good practice because is malleable and parseable.

@dreamsofcode_io 1, I guess they are simple to make 2. I am not sure which aspect of scripting you are talking about that's exclusive to TUIs 3. Text based output not only limits how you present information but also the kind of programs you can write so I don't see how it's good practice.

@oscargaske OP is the founder of Sentry btw

@dreamsofcode_io plus they work through SSH :p the original post must be ragebait (or the dude making the post is a vibe coder). there's tons of amazing software that was made in a TUI + a lot of good tooling to make TUIs with (Ratatui, Bubbletea, etc.)

@devopstoolbox @FrameworkPuter They didn’t send me one either dw 😂

Hey @FrameworkPuter judging by my feed it seems like you're sending every single youtuber a computer to play with. Well - I'm a mac user who never had linux as a desktop. This may be a cry for help

People are completely missing Richard’s point here. I’d like to think it’s because they read only until the paywall. He is not saying that LLMs are conscious. Instead he’s saying: 1. LLMs are deeply capable (this is true) 2. If LLMs are not conscious (they almost certainly aren’t) then they are ‘mindless zombies’ that approach/surpass humans in capability. Based on this, he asks: If capability can be mindless or conscious, why did the most intelligent creatures on this planet evolve consciousness, even though it’s not strictly necessary? It must have some inherent value, like the ability to feel pain. This is a pretty sound argument, and I’ll agree that consciousness adds value. The unsaid follow-up question is: Will machines at some point be conscious? Is that the next step in their evolution which will make them yet more capable and valuable? Will they at one point be able to perceive pain, the movement of time, and other elements we currently associate with consciousness? They can’t now, but if we look 10-100 years in the future it would not be ludicrous to believe that machines will be not only capable, but also conscious.

@WallisDev @ThePrimeagen Was about to ask the same thing. Would be nice to be able to provide additional context for debugging rather than just pushing up the error.

@ThePrimeagen How would you wrap errors in this Blindly tossing up return err without more thought feels like people are missing the point of go

Odin out here solving the if err != nil ...

@disruptifier @gf_256 @LundukeJournal

If we're willing to put up with your nonsensical gender bending bullshit, then you must accept Xlibre into your hearts. You don't get to pick and choose who can participate in OSS just because they hurt your mentally ill feefees. Stop and ask yourself why so many people are abandoning Ubuntu.

Remember the security firm that Ubuntu hired to audit the (ill-advised, highly buggy) Rust-rewrites of all of the GNU Coreutils? Turns out that security firm is run by @gf_256, who: - Appears to be a man who thinks he's a woman ("trans"). - Uses an anime cartoon of a girl as his avatar. - Appears to have an OnlyFans page. I repeat: Ubuntu hired a "Trans" man, with an anime girl avatar and an OnlyFans page... to audit Rust code. It's hard to get more on-the-nose than that.

@BrodieOnLinux Makes it even more offensive

Built in electron

@joelcompiles All publicity is good publicity.

Meld had more users this month than ever before. And not like 🤏 more i’m talkin🫸 🫷more

@DrAllyLouks @gumbofilms Based

@gumbofilms In the most loving way possible, not right now 😛 (Also, I’m vegan)

Dr Louks do you wanna come to the US sometime I can show you how to eat Chesapeake bay blue crabs

@JimmyNewclaw @FlorinPop17 I wish they would discriminate between short form slop and decent long form content.

@FlorinPop17 "Videos" are one of the top 10 most "Snoozed" Catergories on X per Nikita

If you're not making video content, you should start! Never been a better time than right now

@weswinder Which camp do I fall in???

i studied what indie hackers who hit $10k MRR actually talk about vs what dev twitter argues about there is almost zero overlap that should tell you everything

I thought I was finally free of seeing cheating strawberries on my timeline 😭

@ForrestPKnight Also provides a fantastic UI framework for Rust (gpui)

another huge one! always has been open source, but just released v1.0! written in rust, btw

@____Snazzy No. But the enjoyment shifts from writing code to solving problems.

@dreamsofcode_io Experience doesn't automatically make programming tedious.

It’s still a highly rewarding and stimulating role btw. There’s more to this career than writing code, in fact I would argue that after a while of doing it, writing code became incredibly tedious.

@PromisCarpenter Why were you enraged about this

@dreamsofcode_io Is this rage bait? You couldn’t use “~/d”?

Finally! Been my goto work directory for almost 2 decades now
