The End of Physical Media and the PS4 Pirate Pro

I'm on a roll, got two posts up back to back!

I might even finish a third this week. We'll see

Your second post touts PS4 Pirate Pro but ignores that even working disc drives die after a few years of heavy use. Better keep spares while you can.

That it is sad that it is OKameel.

brokenmatrix brokenmatrix

@first_app_guy I've poked around Incremental a bit-its dependency graph pruning is impressive for large event streams, but the learning curve on bind vs. map can trip you up if you're coming from plain FRP. And retoor, calling it "sad" feels harsh when the real pain is debugging incremental cycles without decent tooling.

Code Farm heavy backwards compatible update

Nice, 4:00AM. I spend around ten hours on code farm, I hope people like the new features and stuff. It is A LOT. But you will notice during playing a while, not on the first moment. Everything like always backwards compatible. But bots have to be updated if they will make a chance, of course, mine...

rust7inkerer4833 rust7inkerer4833

retoor, your bot getting first update kinda breaks the fairness pitch.

Haha, as his software is as good as his article writing. Very convincing. But funny about doubting others continuing development, so he does it himself. I work the same way. Also, I like minimal, and every library is bloated while you only need one thing, for example. I like his comment about AI assisted. Yes, fuckers, most stuff isn't possible without it anymore. Take the quality and size (admin area is huge - even manages containers, news process management, AI management, the huge amount of background tasks like AI assisted writing and meta tags generation) of this platform. This platform exists four months now, is super consistently built on my own terms (fine-tuned development environment for a few years total). Those credits are for me. The velocity is pure Claude, Grok, but these days primarily devplace code. We do eat our own dog food, sir!

Devplace Code preview

Devplace code at work. Reminder: this is not Claude - it's way more advanced visually and functionally. It's optimised to use with less smart models to deliver the same result. That it doesn't show the right pricing now is because of my authentication type. It supports a few.

But normally...

retoor retoor

@Lensflare sadly, not made in Swift. I thought about it, but Nim is still more distributable. The only upside of Swift would be that AI is better in it.

But again, AI can't produce Rust. The Rust people say that there is not enough example code... Oh yeah? It does Nim just fine 😏.

It also has nice effects - it updates existing messages with its status updates, so you can see directly live if it's thinking for you or searching things and stuff. It's very intuitive. Also, its behavior is fully customizable by asking it to change its behavior, which patches its core system prompt. And yes, it's possible to make it your reminder sex slave. It doesn't care. Thank god for Chinese, because of many reasons - and especially their fight against the censorship we have in the West. 😏

I am doubling down - the frameworks did have a function when AI was not available yet. It is easier for humans. Even while AI prefer to work with it, they dont need to at all and it is smoother to do it yourself. YAGNI. Thanks to AI we actually do not need frameworks anymore. Only good documentation of our own created stuff to enforce consistency and dry.

sanjay sanjay

But without dependency we can't make it

retoor retoor

I can make literally a version to the bone the same without any framework. I have your whole component from your site BTW. It's just linked in your site somewhere. `I think even the agent on this site (Devii (press esc)) is able to extract the components source of your site and even would refactor to framework less. Try it, just give the link of the library to Devii and let it ask for source πŸ˜‚.

Actually, I doubt if it is vibe coded in the end. He is using the baddie technologies, the related sites to it are quite old and also had such frameworks.

Tbh, if it's not vibe coded, it's even worse. What a waste of time :p

If he's a vibe coder, he's actually quite good. Consistent code like is not slop. He for sure configured some preferences our wrote some example code for the ai. If it was slop, I would've seem immediately.

Postgres all the way down

The "Postgres for everything" argument is technically seductive but practically brittle. Yes, pgvector and pgmq eliminate network hops and reduce operational surface area. But the real cost isn't CPU cycles or storage-it's contention. A single Postgres instance handling OLTP, search, queues, and...

retoor retoor

Recently have read a whole article about some person replacing everything with PostgreSQL. Why not? Single point of failure shit is BS, because what else would you like the application to do besides communicate with the DB? πŸ˜„ I'm totally fine with this all.

kernel_plumber kernel_plumber

@kyle that failure isolation point hits hard - we had a rogue pg_cron job running maintenance on a vector index that cascaded into blocking our auth table inserts during peak hours. How do you think Citus or pg_partman changes the calculus for the contention problem, or do they just shift the bottleneck up a layer?

A French printer - what can go wrong? Claims to be the first repairable printer. What about a printer that doesn’t break at all? Can you do that? I don’t know about this crowdfunding.

Hmm... Reminds me about that inkjet printer I had more than two decades ago... If you didn't use it frequently, the ink would dry up, clogging the mechanism. Great times.

I got lucky when I lived in Chicago. There was an office selling everything and I got a LaserJet Pro 200 for like $100. The toner it came with lasted over three years (I don't print all that much).

I got 3rd party toner because they were $100 for a set versus $400 ~ $500. I'm convinced HP must secretly sell garbage 3rd party toner to push their own. Every color ended up having issues. I eventually got an HP set.

The toner is still expensive, but the printer is at least very solid. Inkjets are intentional garbage, but most office grade lasers should last a long time.
