Why not consider Clojure?

We were talking to the reptile caretaker at the Abu Dhabi zoo and we learnt that

- snakes are actually cuties. And more like babies. They do not have strong fight or flight ability like mammals. If they get hurt, they go into a corner and just give up

- they're extremely misunderstood beings. When a snake is hissing, it is because it it actually very very frightened.

- their eye sight is very very bad. They detect mostly by that body heat. And they've a very hard time detecting friends vaa foes. A ball python actually curls into a ball when tensed up. The caretaker had to pet the snake to help it relax.

- most of that snakes are non venomous.

Could you share more about your experience?

A bit ingenious to say we do nothing when you have CloudFlare in front of your servers. Cloudflare by itself can automatically detect and handle DDoS without explicitly activating the Under Attack mode.

Also Java jar files give you the same benefit.

> Also Java jar files give you the same benefit.

You have to explain that one a bit more.

You can compile a jar to include all dependencies (like statically compiling C code), then you can just run `java -jar myprogram.jar` and it will work as long as the Java runtime is the same major version or newer than the version you compiled for.

That’s different from the runtime-free binaries produced by Rust and Go (binaries ship with tiny runtime) though. These are truly dependency-free, requiring only that you can execute ELF files.

Ingenious doesn't mean what I think you think it means.

It is ingenious to turn a mild attack into a 100+ point HN submission!

I think they meant disingenuous

Also those requests for the 200MB setup aren't even hitting your servers unless you have disabled caching for some reason, not that it'd be that hard to serve it directly.

> bit ingenious

I think the word you're after is "disingenuous"

The comments here are needlessly pessimistic and dismissive of a new data flow paradigm. In fact, this looks like the best NoSQL experience there is. SQL while is a standard now, had to prove itself many times over and also was a result of a massive push by few big tech backers.

Rama still looks like it needs some starter examples - that is all.

From what i could gather reading the documentation over few weeks... Rama is an engine supporting Stored Procedure over NoSQL systems. That point alone is worth a million bucks. I hope it lives up to the promise.

Now back to my coding :D

FYI, in case you're unaware the rama-demo-gallery repo has a bunch of short, self-contained, thoroughly commented examples of applying Rama towards different use cases https://github.com/redplanetlabs/rama-demo-gallery

I think people are more put of by the exact way/formulation the blog starts out with then the content it is about.

That seems fair. Instead of saying “this is what you’re doing wrong” better formulate “here’s how to super empower your skills”

My Remarkable 2 E-Ink notebook for sure. I'm a pen and paper notes taker - R2 has been extremely useful in freeing me up from the pen and paper books. And my notes are searchable and tagged!

my hesitation with these E-Ink notebooks is getting the notes off the device and into my other computers in some automated way. Have you found a good workflow for that?

Boox eink tablets can automatically copy notebooks directly to Dropbox or Google Drive in PDF format. It's a very useful feature.

How close does it feel to pen and paper?

I loathe the idea of paying a subscription for a device I am already paying money for but I find pen and paper way more liberating than a computer. I am very tempted by e-ink notebooks as they feel somewhere in between the two

I find the Remarkable is pretty much exactly like pen and paper, but it syncs to the desktop which makes it way handier.

I’ve have used ChatGPT for

- De-obfuscate a obfuscated JS code

- Unminify a JS code. Asked it to guess function names based on the functionality

- Work with it like a rubber duck to plan out the possible solutions to a code problem

- To suggest function names based on the functionality

- To name repos

- Modify a piece of Go code to add specific functionality to it. I don’t know to write Go; I can read it and grok the high level functionality

If we don’t want to call the HN crowd non-technical

Thank you, kind stranger
