Meme sin ánimo de ofender a nadie (es triste tener que aclarar eso en estos tiempos)

SAN FRANCISCO, CA - In the wake of a devastating supply chain attack in the npm registry that left millions of enterprise applications compromised and billions of user records exposed, developers across the JavaScript ecosystem expressed deep sorrow today, lamenting that such a crisis was completely unavoidable.

“It’s a shame, but what can you do? This is just the price of building modern web apps,” said Senior Frontend Engineer Mark Vance, echoing the sentiments of a community that completely relies on a 40-level-deep nested tree of unvetted packages maintained by pseudonymous strangers to capitalize a single string. “There’s absolutely no way to foresee or prevent someone from taking over a long-abandoned utility package and injecting a crypto-miner into every production build in the world. It’s just an act of nature.”

I recently realized that I've been tinkering on my main hobby project for a year now, and that it's not even remotely at a point where I'd be willing to publish it (either by actually launching it or by Open-sourcing and handing it off to someone else). But one of the features I built in recently, a fully customizable website theming function, seemed actually pretty solid and pleasant to use, so I'd like to share it within this separate project.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask them here! I realize that documentation is not my strong suit haha
Any feedback or suggestions are appreciated as well :)

Every feedback for code or programming or recommendation of any locomotive or train is welcomed :)

In case you missed it, ChatGPT 5.1 had a tendency to talk about "goblins" in its responses. Supposedly this was a result of training a "nerdy" personality, but it bled into the model as a whole. Because the training run for the latest model already had this flaw, they had to add specific instructions to the system prompt for their Codex coding tool to avoid this behaviour.

Here's the full prompt from their github. In fact, they repeated the goblin instructions twice, cos you know that will definitely fix it. It's an interesting read if you consider each one of these instructions were meant to prevent some undesired behaviour: https://paste.sh/Iev3HtMe#JZ4dw_CkvJcpVmjjoy7WZnSn

Hopefully this isn’t too meta for this community. It’s been about a year since I finished school and have been working. I’m struggling to find the right balance between hobbies, personal projects, and also trying to get better/ higher paying job. I find that after a day of solving issues, banging my head into the wall wondering what previous owners of the codebase have done and dealing with business users makes me desperately want to have control over my own work. Whenever I get home though even though I might be excited to code something I just never seem to find the mental energy to do anything. After the gym and cooking a dinner I simply am so wiped I can’t do anything. Instead of making software, or doing music, I just end up watching tv, heck I’m usually too dead to even play video games. I desperately am also trying to avoid the “productivity pit” that is shoved in our faces everywhere but I really don’t want to let my skills atrophy or prevent me from being able to hop to a higher paying job in an industry I’m more interested in if I’m lucky eventually. How the heck do you all manage it?

Hey all,

I'm just curious what might be a good way to fund a new project? I've seen a number of projects use stuff like LiberaPay and PayPal etc, what about something in the form of Kickstarter? Subscriptions?

This isn't something I've ever considered before so not sure what the prevailing wisdom is out there. Say I want to get funding to start a project, those that donate get a lifetime subscription, but then also have an option for others to pay a monthly subscription? Is there any method in particular I should avoid?

Hello there !

I want to code a little incremental game just for me and some friends, and i started prototyping this in Go (because i know how to use it) but i was thinking that maybe run it in a browser and then use typescript would be better

I have no experience in making games and in javascript, i mostly code for backend and math stuff (my favorite gui is a terminal), and when i need a real gui i use pure html page edited by backend

So i was wondering what would be easier between learning making game in Go, or learning JS/TS for an incremental game (pictures and numbers and text, maybe little animations), and if javascript is still relevant to learn

Thanks !

(Also im a student, so my knowledge of the professional dev world is quite limited, forgive my approximative wording :b)

I'm learning FSharp by creating a web application. I've cycled through lots of different ways of doing things, libraries, etc. Today I finally got my integration tests to use a single docker test contaner with the Expecto test framework. I couldn't find a good example online of how to do it, so I'm sharing it here.

Some people talk about mailing lists with a lot of reverence, but I have only ever found them to be extremely ugly and unreadable.

Are there any good clients out there that make them readable? For example a lemmy-like, threaded interface with interactivity? Or for PR/MRs an interface that shows the diffs with syntax highlighting, toggleable unified and side by side diff views, ability to comment within diffs and continue discussions within them (maybe even threaded)?

Somehow, they have only gotten better over the years. Clean, simple layout. Clear concise descriptions and photos, color coded for pricing options. Search works INSTANTLY perfect every time. literally type in 99 camry rear brake shoes BOOM you're on the listing. That's big in today's world where search is complete shit.

Every time I visit their site I'm so happy it works. Then I'm angry how the rest of the internet has been enshittified to hell.

Keep it up Rockauto!!

*Runner up: craigslist. site works perfect, no reason to change.

I can't find the source code for this, I am posting here to save it to remind myself to search later.
