I like the idea but I wonder why every boilerplate it's so expensive. Dude 99 bucks it's a huge amount of money. I think It's even more for non american people. Also If I'm going to release a MVP, I'd go spending as low as possible.

Also there are tools like gpt-pilot, gpt-engineer that automate thr boilerplate part (ok, it's not perfect but gets the job done).

Again, I recognize this is a cool idea, but it's not the first time I see a "boilerplate automator" with a price so high.

Does anyone had a similar experience like that?

I totally understand the abuses described by the author and feel sorry about that. But I wonder how other successful open-source projects survived and eventually became rentable like Vue.js

I don't disable it at all.

Blocking ads saves bandwidth and battery from phones and laptops.

The time when websites used to have the right balance between ads and user experience has passed many years ago, and it's not going to change any time soon.

Honestly, I think it is going to get even worse because Google already knows that people will be eventually using more LLM than searching on a Browser. For most people, it is a much more convenient experience.

That's why your search results are now getting worse than used to be. These bloated websites are being much more promoted in the search ranking system. Generating income while search engines are still relevant for most people.

I didn't know they have a "Pro" offer. I wish Kagi has something similar. It's quite expensive paying 10 bucks for search results only.

Hyphen vs underscore in filenames and directory names?

Originally, when I stopped using Windows back in about 1998, I was used to using spaces between words in filenames and directories. As I progressed into the world of Linux and BSD, I changed all spaces to underscores, but since I have done (and still do) a lot of web development I eventually settled on hyphens. I not only think it looks better, but the fact is that search engines interpret hyphens in file and directory names as spaces between words. Underscores are usually not recognized, and as such, their presence can negatively affect search engine optimization. Even though files in my home directory are my private files and not something I put out on the web, I have just settled on using hyphens everywhere.

I couldn't agree more. It's so practice to use hyphens when navigating on terminal that i think it should be a standard. It's even better than pressing <SHIFT-KEY> every time to select an underscored filename or <BACKSLASH-KEY> for spaces. Duh

Simplified Intro Version:

Imagine you have a smart assistant that can understand and process the words you say to it. Usually, this assistant pays equal attention to every word you say, no matter how important or unimportant each word is to the overall meaning of your message.

Now, imagine that we found a way to teach the assistant to be smarter about how it uses its "brain power." Instead of giving equal attention to every word, the assistant learns to focus more on the words that are most important for understanding what you mean. It can even adjust this focus on the fly, paying more attention to different words depending on the context of your message.

To make sure the assistant doesn't get overwhelmed, we also set a limit on how much total "brain power" it can use at any given time. It's like giving the assistant a budget and saying, "You can only spend your brain power on a certain number of words at a time." The assistant then has to decide which words are most important to focus on.

Even with this limit, the assistant is still flexible in how it uses its brain power. It might spend more on certain words and less on others, depending on what you're saying. This means that while we always know the total amount of brain power the assistant is using, it can adapt to different situations and prioritize what's most important.

When we teach the assistant using this method, it not only learns to focus its attention intelligently but also does so very efficiently. It can understand you just as well as an assistant that pays equal attention to every word, but it uses less brain power overall. This makes the assistant much faster at responding to you and processing new information.
