Genuinely curious if you've used "plan mode" (with perhaps a plan feedback tool) to get clarity from your coding agent before unleashing it on a feature like "add a pods view with live updates"?

Getting a plan isn't a panacea but is a better way to limit downstream slop than just vibing without one.

The Doge had no power.

I clicked through the $100k credits link and didn’t see Cloudflare listed as an Atlas partner? (Maybe not updated?)

This looks interesting nonetheless.

Came here to say something similar. Adults are just as hooked to their addiction feeds as kids.

These are uber-personalized feeds optimized to keep you scrolling to the next item (story / video / post) so companies can show more ads.

"Social media" is a textbook example of a euphemism. We should be calling this what it is: "addiction feeds".

Seconded. Interesting read.

Haha. Underrated comment!

Some folks have been using the term “promptbaiting” to describe these obvious engagement tactics.

Working on that too. Lmk if you’re up for a chat?

I salute this artistry

Why are completion tokens more with image prompts yet the text output was about the same?

Had same expectation and read through half the article before realizing it was not Golang related.

10W for a sustained time perhaps but these are looong climbs. Col de la Loze is 26.4km with an average gradient of 6.5%.

Why is pay off greater in cycling than other sports? Salary of the top riders? Compared to say NBA players, pro cyclist make relatively little. Tadej Pogacar (best and top paid cyclist) makes about $8M (euros) in salary per year. Steph Curry (highest paid) NBA player makes $55M (dollars) in salary per year.

Bikers and their teams are known for removing as much weight as possible from their bikes. Would love to see the math for weight/power/time ratio for a motor like this. Would it be worth it considering you'd have to expend additional watts lugging it around all stage? My guess is probably not. Especially on a mountain stage which is where the tour is really won or lost.

I think a better thing to do would be to outlaw algorithmic feeds where monetization is via advertising. If subscription based that is fine. The incentive for sub based monetization is to keep you long enough to continue subscribing. For ads it is to keep you on as long as possible which trends towards divisive / fear / anger inducing content.

Love this! Played Worldle (https://worldle.teuteuf.fr/) for a while and this would have been helpful.

Great application of spaced repetition beyond cards.

Insightful!

Makes me think a bit about how negative content engages more people. Is this the same with people who don't like change? Not liking change activates people more than people who do like change?

Not as well marketed but this is an awesome Typescript ORM https://joist-orm.io/

I like the look of Gleam over Elixir for sure. I’d love to see some example code showing Gleam-based LiveViews but I haven’t been able to find it anywhere. Is it possible? Anyone have some code to point me at?

Love this! Agree that kids educational content often crosses the line into too flashy and overproduced.

Great idea on the collectible stickers!

This is meant to be used while sitting with the kid as opposed to handing them my phone right?

From the article - Joist provides:

- Bullet-proof N+1 prevention,

- Tracking loaded relation/subgraph state in the type system, and

- Backend reactivity, for declarative cross-entity validation rules and reactive fields.

Wow!

There are LiveView backends written in Javascript (http://liveviewjs.com), Go (https://github.com/canopyclimate/golive), Java (https://github.com/floodfx/undead), and Python (https://github.com/ogrodnek/pyview).

Disclaimer: I wrote or helped write the first three.

Back when I was in an office, we switched desks once a quarter. We randomized the selection order each time and the only rules were you couldn't sit at the same desk or next to the same people. The value was that sitting next to new people created more social connections and created more trust and a change in scenery was refreshing.

I think String Templates are pretty cool. For example it enables "tagged template literal"-like behavior which is super powerful in JS land.

I used it to support a LiveView implementation for Java: https://github.com/floodfx/undead

Sure the syntax isn't "pretty" but understandable and you get used to it like anything else.

This idea being it will speed up navigation? And by static site you mean not SPA static site but traditional separate pages? Smart!

Me too! On my Tandy 1000 iirc.

The link that @helb sent is a good summary from the Phoenix docs but it is sort of hard to "get" just by reading about it. My attempt to be more concise is "a LiveView is a server process that receives events (clicks, form input, etc) from the browser, updates its state on the server, and sends back diffs which are applied to the browser."

You can think about it as a server-rendered HTML page that gets updated via Websocket updates.

That doesn't really do it justice either. I think writing a little bit of code and running a LiveView server is probably the best way to truly grok it.

Like any new paradigm, it takes a bit of a mind shift to see the value.

If you can, try running the Undead example server by downloading the repo and running:

`mvn package exec:exec`

Comments like this push people away from Erlang rather than draw them in.

Understanding LiveViews as a concept could make it easier to commit to learning a new language. I am not saying one should but that one could and it would probably be easier since you don't have the additional overhead of also learning what is a LiveView.
