They need to do that because, in some sense, they're competing with Gaming PCs, not really with Gaming consoles. Gaming consoles sell their consoles at a discounted price because they can recoup a lot of it when selling games. Steam can't have a markup on games because they share their marketplace with other PCs.

JWTs are secure in the sense that they are tamper-proof. And that's all you need for a session token (plus the revocation list). There's nothing inherently insecure about JWTs.

This entire list is Slack alternatives, not Discord alternatives. Discord is first-and-foremost a gaming voice chat platform. Teamspeak is the OG in that space and should've been the top of this list.

> And every second I spend trying to do fun free things for the community like this is a second I'm not spending trying to turn the business around and make sure the people who are still here are getting their paychecks every month.

Then step aside as the maintainer of the project then and better yet, make something like Tailwind-foundation etc. which is truly open source. Go spend your time building your business, but you can't become the bottleneck and not do anything for something that has become so foundational for Web Dev.

What's the fundamental limitation to context size here? Why can't a model be fine-tuned per codebase, taking the entire code into context (and be continuously trained as it's updated)?

Forgive my naivety, I don't now anything about LLMs.

I'd remove the else if blocks since we're returning.

    private String generateGuessSentence(char candidate, int count) {
      if (count === 0) return "There are no " + candidate + "s";
      if (count === 1) return "There is 1 " + candidate;

      return "There are " + count + " " + candidate + "s";
    }

Google having so many private photos in Google Photos must be a goldmine for them.

Eh, don't worry about it. As long as the job you're working at is paying you enough to live and save enough, change as many hobbies as you want and change as many jobs as you want.

As someone who has just heard the name Web3 over and over again, is there anything tangible that I can try? I have tried IPFS, but I don't know if it's "web3".

I believe so as well. Compose is very similar to Electron. Jetbrains Toolbox (which uses compose) uses 500mb memory which is on par with what Electron would use for such a simple app.

The worst: pressing Enter to rename a file in finder. Command + Down arrow to open it. WTF!
