  The separation of concerns that is different services separated based on what it does is a wise move from #Sourcehut It keeps the UI interface simple and the end-user just uses what they need rather than having all in one dump that is GitHub-esque design. Very nice! #programming #git #github https://sr.ht/

  I believe "Data" is not only the new Oil but also going to be lethal for any misconducts from AI systems in the future. I think more transparency and more protection is needed for what is fed to train these systems. That means, we need a transparent detail of data published for training which is very important. I think this is the first that any AI corporations should come up with to be transparent. If we know what different data are collected and utilized, there is a possib...

  It's a tricky situation (atleast for me) to host code on services like GitHub, SourceHut and Codeberg all of it. This is particularly related to #AI policies that are in-force now. To say from my side: I'm not completely against GenAI assisted coding although I see it as a distraction. Personally I'll go with asking questions on the web interface rather than my local environment. Coming to the point, I'm not against AI advancements in general but I'm ag...

  After many attempts on learning and failing to continue with Discrete Math and Linear Algebra, I found my new interest on #Mathematics with Set Theory. Possibly this could be a starting point for me to go to those two topics. This time, very conscious about taking baby steps and not try to move fast and break things attitude. That didn't help me!

  We humans, what can we do to fathom to what happened in Nepal. We can only weep. Weep. And weep to the grim reminder that we are under Nature's shadow after all.

  6 years ago - I launched a self-hosted source code hosting software called "Sorcia". https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22685914 I am trying to revive the project back. I wanted a federated Git hosting service done with ActivityPub protocol tightly integrated to Mastodon. I thought somebody would do it and I couldn't find such program thus far. I think my wait is over. I'll see what I can do here. As always I'm starting to tackle the design first...

  Although I find the #LLM advancements fascinating, the fundamental dropout from learning the concepts in Computer Science or any other relevant fields to be worrysome. This one reason is what's stopping me from using #AI assistance. And partially that's also the reason I got fired from my job 4 months ago. They said I was slow in progressing whilst most of my peers where using AI to complete the tasks and get it going. This factor is demotivating me for the last many months in...

  I feel that the cup of tea is never empty. Humans are meant to break things then come back to fixing it. This is the endless cycle. If the seeking is to "Emptying your cup", then the cup of tea is never empty. #thought #writing #writingcommunity #zen #buddhism

  It saddens me, that there are people out there like me, who just are trying hard to stay sane in this world. I can very well relate to them. Bcause, I myself do the same, really. Mental health issues are real. The real war is more tougher inside than the outside. I hope this societal system understands this better. #mentalhealth

  I want to build a Tiling window #browser that is very similar to: https://github.com/szymonkaliski/cartographist On top of it, I need to add certain features. My question is: Is there any way I can avoid #Electron in order to build this that is cross-platform? As far as my research goes Tauri with #Rust and Wails with #Golang seems to accept only one WebView per window. I think GTK as well. For now, I know Golang and C. I'd like to stick to this as much as possible. I need to start so...

  I don't want to hold accountability on many domain addresses. I think, sometimes it is better if we just stick to the existing services unless there is a special need. In the same vein; I moved my website content to Blogger. https://potentzero.blogspot.com My words matter more than a uniquely designed website. #blog #migration #writing #writingcommunity #webdesign #website

  Built a new tool called Pascar. It's a browser-based offline-first text editor inspired by the MS-DOS edit. https://github.com/potentzero/pascar It's basically a single HTML file that you can download and use it. It is also hosted on https://pascar.run #msdos #editor #programming #editing #text

  This is my opinion and my way of doing #programming I have a distaste for Modern #IDE like #VSCode, #Antigravity etc,. There is literally not much screen real estate for typing code, IOW the source code editor. This is distracting to a large extent for me. Also, it is not that, I don't use #AI - but the implementation of these Agentic assistant or chat into the IDEs is bloated and on an another level distraction to me. In a nutshell, I just use it in the browser if I want some knowl...

  Pascar is a recreation of MS DOS #Editor in the browser. It is offline-first and portable. One of my friends started using it as a portable editor. Posting this to see if somebody finds this useful. I did a new release today with some bug fixes on Event Listeners based on the issues that was posted by others. https://github.com/potentzero/pascar #texteditor #minimalism #programming #browser
