Good to see an alternative to Anubis - with a reduced or configurable legitimate user impact

https://git.gammaspectra.live/git/go-away/

This tool started as a way to replace Anubis as it was not found as featureful as desired, and the impact was too high.

go-away may not be as straight to configure as Anubis but this was chosen to reduce impact on legitimate users, and offers many more options to dynamically target new waves.

Noncoders are using AI to prompt their ideas into reality. They call it 'vibe coding.' by Kissaki in c/programming@programming.dev
[-] Kissaki@programming.dev 23 points 1 month ago

Lenard Flören, a Germany-based art director at an advertising agency, said he quickly realized that trying to create his dream fitness app with one lengthy prompt would lead to a plethora of bugs that “neither ChatGPT nor my clueless self had any chance of solving.”

If everyone can create programs, and everyone fails, maybe it'll bring increased appreciation to development and good development and products? One could hope. I guess the worst offenders won't even try themselves either way. The services are not that accessible.

I'd love to read a list of those instances/claims/tech

I imagine one of them was low-code/no-code?

/edit: I see such a list is what the posted link is about.

I'm surprised there's not low-code/no-code in that list.

Vibe Coding is not an excuse for low-quality work by Kissaki in c/programming@programming.dev
[-] Kissaki@programming.dev 21 points 2 months ago

I still hate the "vibe" terminology.

What I would have liked it to mean: While coding, put on some music, and zone out to coding.

What it means now: Prompt an AI to generate working code and solutions.

I don't get where the "vibing" comes in. I guess you don't have to think about the technical details? And that's vibing? Maybe it's just unfamiliarity and lack of practice, but poking the AI via prompting and thinking about how you can influence it better doesn't feel like you could zone in to or "vibe".

Maybe it's about letting go of reasoning and just going for it? Vibing in the sense of going with the flow?

It's not the first terminology I find unfitting. I'm trying to accept that it is what it is, and that it just is what "we collectively" have decided to call it (or ran with).

It is my practice to delete the hash lines after question marks in URLS to defeat tracking... but the question mark has disappeared by Kissaki in c/programming@programming.dev

Don't use the share with shortened url. Copy the page url instead.

Otherwise (you'll have to) accept that you don't know what's included in the shortened link.

Edgio files for bankruptcy, Microsoft has to update some dotnet CDN URLs that used azureedge.net domain (devblogs.microsoft.com)
submitted 6 months ago by Kissaki@programming.dev to c/programming@programming.dev
2 comments fedilink

One of two Azure CDN providers was Edgio, which filed for bankruptcy.

azureedge.net dotnet CDN URLs will cease to work sometime next year after January 15th.

We expect that most users will not be directly affected, however, it is critical that you validate if you are affected and to watch for downtime or other kinds of breakage.

We maintain multiple Content Delivery Network (CDN) instances for delivering .NET builds. Some end in azureedge.net. These domains are hosted by edg.io, which will soon cease operations due to bankruptcy. We are required to migrate to a new CDN and will be using new domains going forward.

Affected domains:

  • dotnetcli.azureedge.net
  • dotnetbuilds.azureedge.net

Unaffected domains:

  • dotnet.microsoft.com
  • download.visualstudio.microsoft.com

Deno v. Oracle: Canceling the JavaScript Trademark (deno.com)

On November 22, 2024, Deno formally filed a petition with the USPTO to cancel Oracle’s trademark for “JavaScript.” This marks a pivotal step toward freeing “JavaScript” from legal entanglements and recognizing it as a shared public good.

Oracle has until January 4, 2025, to respond. If they fail to act, the case will go into default, and the trademark will likely be canceled.

Announcing Deno 2 - Full npm compatibility, Stabilized Standard Library (deno.com)
submitted 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) by Kissaki@programming.dev to c/programming@programming.dev
9 comments fedilink

Today, we’re thrilled to announce Deno 2, which includes:

  • Backwards compatibility with Node.js and npm, allowing you to run existing Node applications seamlessly
  • Native support for package.json and node_modules
  • Package management with new deno install, deno add, and deno remove commands
  • A stabilized standard library
  • Support for private npm registries
  • Workspaces and monorepo support
  • Long Term Support (LTS) releases
  • JSR: a modern registry for sharing JavaScript libraries across runtimes

We are also continually improving many existing Deno features:

  • deno fmt can now format HTML, CSS, and YAML
  • deno lint now has Node specific rules and quick fixes
  • deno test now supports running tests written using node:test
  • deno task can now run package.json scripts
  • deno doc’s HTML output has improved design and better search
  • deno compile now supports code signing and icons on Windows
  • deno serve can run HTTP servers across multiple cores, in parallel
  • deno init can scaffold now scaffold libraries or servers
  • deno jupyter now supports outputting images, graphs, and HTML
  • deno bench supports critical sections for more precise measurements
  • deno coverage can now output reports in HTML

Deno is a single binary for the TypeScript and JavaScript ecosystems. Deno is secure by default (installing npm libs do not automatically have full system perms/access).

The new standard library stabilizes a vetted collection of safe binaries instead of having to search for and install random libraries for basic or common use cases with [or without] own security assessments.

Deno compile compiles the TS/JS project into a single binary.

The backwards compatibility to npm and npm/js frameworks enables deno usage in existing projects and with existing libs with the benefits of deno and a path to incremental migration.

The announcement video is worth watching. The intro is great.

Using the term ‘artificial intelligence’ in product descriptions reduces purchase intentions (news.wsu.edu)
submitted 11 months ago by Kissaki@programming.dev to c/programming@programming.dev
24 comments fedilink

researchers conducted experimental surveys with more than 1,000 adults in the U.S. to evaluate the relationship between AI disclosure and consumer behavior

The findings consistently showed products described as using artificial intelligence were less popular

“When AI is mentioned, it tends to lower emotional trust, which in turn decreases purchase intentions,”

"GitHub" Is Starting to Feel Like Legacy Software by Kissaki in c/programming@programming.dev
[-] Kissaki@programming.dev 20 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

The only issue they mention is browser page text search not working on rendered file view (blame).

The feels legacy conclusion doesn't make any sense to me.

GitHub is not the only platform implementing virtual scrolling, partial rendering of rendered files. There's a reason they do that: Files can get big, and adding various code highlighting and interactivity costs performance. It's not a local code representation and rendered canvas. It's rendered into a DOM and DOM representation, with markup and attached logic. Which at some point quickly becomes very inefficient or costly.

Not being able to use the browser text search is an unfortunate side effect.

I consider it a worsening modernization/feature addition. That's the opposite of legacy. We're moving forward (in a bad way), not stagnating.

When I click Blame, and then press Ctrl+F, it opens not my browser text search but the in-page in-file search. It works for me. (Not that I always use that search or like it.)

Productivity of Rust teams at Google by Kissaki in c/rust@programming.dev
[-] Kissaki@programming.dev 24 points 1 year ago

Commenter on Reddit (OP there) gives a talk link and summarization:

In the talk, Lars mentions that they often rely on self-reported anonymous data. But in this case, Google is large enough that teams have developed similar systems and/or literally re-written things, and so this claim comes from analyzing projects before and after these re-writes, so you’re comparing like teams and like projects. Timestamped: https://youtu.be/6mZRWFQRvmw?t=27012

Some additional context on these two specific claims:

Google found that porting Go to Rust "it takes about the same sized team about the same time to build it, so that's no loss of productivity" and "we do see some benefits from it, we see reduced memory usage [...] and we also see a decreased defect rate over time"

On re-writing C++ into Rust: "in every case, we've seen a decrease by more than 2x in the amount of effort required to both build the services written in Rust, as well as maintain and update those services. [...] C++ is very expensive for us to maintain."
