I think this could have been about 1/4 the length. Fairly basic stuff by modern standards and you don't need so many words. It is all correct at least, as far as I could see!

Yeah... I mean they should have just copied whatever video conferencing platforms do because they all work fine behind corporate proxies and they also don't suffer from this "increasing delay" problem.

I haven't actually looked into what they do but presumably it's something like webrtc with a fallback to HLS with closed loop feedback about the delay.

Though in fairness it doesn't sound like "watching an AI agent" is the most critical thing and mjpeg is surprisingly decent.

widely acclaimed new TV show that became a monster hit earlier this year.

7.3 on IMDB (not great for a TV show).

Depends what it's for. I think a simple CLI text editor like this probably shouldn't have any smarts. Obviously an IDE like VSCode or IntelliJ should.

I think Fusion 360 defaults to direct modelling which may be easier for beginners. FreeCAD uses parametric modelling which is more powerful and easier to use, but probably a bit confusing if you aren't expecting it.

Also Fusion360 is commercial software that has had lots and lots of UX effort put into it. FreeCAD hasn't. Until FreeCAD 1.0 I would say it had pretty awful UX, even for someone already familiar with parametric CAD.

With FreeCAD 1.0 it's quite good and usable for people with experience in parametric CAD (mostly) but it definitely doesn't hold your hand and I wouldn't expect a beginner to be able to design a part easily first time.

I take time to explain why they aren’t duplicates of similar questions.

Ha yes I've found that if you explain why your question isn't a duplicate of another question and link to it, people are more likely to report it as a duplicate of that question. So stupid.

Interop between Rust and C++ is pretty bad actually - I can understand wanting to avoid that.

However I still agree. I can't see opt-in mechanisms like this moving the needle.

LLMs don't usually make trivial language mistakes like supposively.

I think this is just a really inexperienced or unskilled developer. Or possibly a very dedicated troll.

[-] FizzyOrange@programming.dev 8 points 2 years ago

you can write perfectly safe software in it.

In the same way that you can safely walk through a minefield.

I dunno what you mean about it being an expressive language either. I would say it is relatively low on the expressiveness scale compared to something like Python or OCaml. It's basically as expensive as Go which is renowned for being unexpressive. Maybe you didn't mean "expressive".

The biggest problems with gRPC are:

  1. Very complicated. Way more complexity than you want in most cases.
  2. Depends on HTTP 2. I've seen people who weren't even doing web stuff reach for gRPC, and now boom you have a web server in your stack for now reason. Compare to Thrift which properly separates out encodings, transports, etc.
  3. Doesn't work from the web. There are actually two modifications to gRPC to make it work on the web which means you have three different incompatible versions of gRPC with different feature sets. IIRC some of them require setting up complex proxies, some don't support streaming calls, ugh. Total mess.

Plain HTTP can be type safe. Just publish JSON schema or Typespec files or even use Protobuf.

Ha I once googled some question, found a great answer in some random forum and was like about to write a reply saying what a great answer it was when I realised it was me, like 10 years ago.

It was shit and GitHub is good. It's not a mystery. It's still shit compared to GitHub, you can go and look now.

There was also an incident where they started adding malware to downloads... But really it was already dead by that point.
