whenever you posted in a thread its automatically bookmarked into a list within 4chan UI. when you click on a thread you previously typed in you get notifications for every direct response you got there. New sorting methods were added to the catalog like posts per minute. You could start a new thread directly from a thread. There are loads of other things and settings I haven't really used.

>>30229
oh yeah it also made updating threads real time, like if somebody comments on a thread you're looking at it just updates automatically. Also when you open a thread after a while it automatically takes you to your last comment

How do you install that, I can't find it on AUR.

You’ve got to compile it from a feather, ash mixed with water and some wood pulp.

I mean it might be packaged by someone somewhere and the version I’m compiling from is from 1687, so presumably if there is a packaged version it’s probably newer, but hey if it ain’t broke don’t fix it.

Was looking for an excuse, simply can't believe didn't configure this years ago.
It's so easy with Helix that even editing one file made it worth it to setup an LSP.

A computer is capable of displaying a tree structure. Why should you maintain the tree in your mind when the computer is perfectly capable of showing it for you? (Indeed, to varying extents it already does.)

All real world objects have this property too. We build mental models of drawers, filing cabinets, etc, and we expect them to remain consistent - all without arbitrarily making the physical object disappear and keeping a mental model in our mind. Even blind people don't do that.

I may develop on this in the morning, but I'd summarise that it might even be worth thinking of as a matter of game design (not gamification) or interior design. The computer is a digital environment, and within an environment people can make some really very clever inferences - beat a game in half an a-press or whatever - if you design it well, with clear rules and useful feedback. If you design it badly, it's rather the same as designing a cup with the handle on the inside rather than the outside in the real world - you can drink, but why? A terminal does not usually give the necessary feedback to the user for them to treat the computer in this way. (Terminal based games, oddly, an exception)

Think of disparate file movements in terms of this metaphor - if you find a pair of trousers, a fork, a pan, some old papers, and various other junk lying around your physical environment, how do you deal with them? Would you be reassured or unnerved if I was to say some magic words and make them disappear - perhaps to their proper places, perhaps to Hades?

>Why should you maintain the tree in your mind when the computer is perfectly capable of showing it for you?
If you've ever used one of those menus where opening a directory shows all its children, you should know how terrible they are. Selecting a file multiple layers deep always floods your view with unrelated crap. The program from the clip actually existed on IRIX and has a fairly modern version with a gtk port https://fsv.sourceforge.net/screenshots/ I agree it can help the user visualize files, i used it once or twice to that effect in the past, but it's even more cumbersome than a folding tree menu for regular use.

Why use arabic numerals, when we could just write tally marks, or perhaps a hybrid system like babylonian numerals? Because these symbols afford a higher-degree of abstraction, that allows us to grasp and express ideas more efficiently and a file path is one such abstraction. The things you need to do to interact with regular files and directories are precisely those you already care about: create, copy, move, remove, rename, link, feed to another program, etc; less actions than are displayed under the windows right click menu i'm certain.
>a pair of trousers, a fork, a pan, some old papers, and various other junk lying around
Sounds like the setup to an adventure game (>ᴗ•) Humans are great at adapting to conventions, provided they need to and aren't coddled by half-baked metaphors or being asked the same questions over and over again (that's essentially what menus are). Insisting on treating program and system state as various types of clutter only hinders an actual understanding of it.
>Terminal based games, oddly, an exception
You mean roguelikes? Technically nethack gives you exactly the same amount of feedback as rm&co relative to what it does. Rm only tells you if it fails, otherwise success is assumed. Nethack has to relay certain variable aspects of the game world, like FOV ar status messages, yet the principle behind it is the same, only show what the user can't already know. Moving onto a fountain doesn't ask you if you want to quaff from it, there are no visual flourishes to your actions, nethack doesn't even display thPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

A more general reply follows, but hitting a few points quickly: I think folding tree menus are fine, as are ordinary "display the contents of this folder, its file path, and - if entered from another directory - a back button, plus a folding tree on the side" type file menus. both show you the menu in a context while - thanks to the file tree and back button - doing nothing to hamper understanding of the overall structure. The windows right-click menu, in different order, contains every menu option you list and more, provided you treat "open with…" as a stand-in for "feed to another program". Nethack doesn't have to output any feedback (you could just keep dying randomly with no explanation!), it does so because doing so is good design. You raise arabic numerals - but why use base ten as our default? if we counted using binary, you could finger count up to 1023…

Success being assumed is terrible UI design. It costs almost nothing to output "x deleted" - and in the cases where it does cost something (such as in a script that deletes a lot), it costs almost nothing to add a flag telling it to shut up. i assume, to you, this appears terribly redundant (why tell the user the computer's done doing what they asked?) and perhaps even in violation of the unix philosophy (rule 2!!!) - but there's value in redundancies. planes have two pilots for a reason. (a graphical interface doesn't need to pop up "file deleted", you can see it disappear in response to your actions without having to type "ls" and look for it)
i'm not assuming bad faith here, but i'm not sure i can productively convince you of my point. (which, going way back, is really about treating the user with contempt for using the computer "wrong", rather than UI design itself.) there's just too wide a gulf in assumptions about the default - it's like trying to convince a native japanese speaker that most people find it easier to work out the meaning of a sentence based on word-order rather than by marking everything with particles. (although i think this is only true thanks to English and Chinese tilting the statistics, whereas a preference for the convention of graphical interfaces is - i suspect - closer to "human nature". I mean, sticking with games, there's a reason there are more graphical games than non-graphical games! and, for all the terminal use involved, linuxPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

>is it really necessary to explain that users like systems to be forgiving, and that a digital system is usually capable of undoing them?
This is moreso a problem with systems than with interface design. Interfaces can only plaster over the ugly truth that the filesystems currently in use don't have proper versioning or an equivalent to garbage collection. I remember reading a blog post about the inadequacy of the "save" button in OSX and how it lures users into a false sense of security directly leading to data loss. The plan9 CWFS actually fixes some of this at a system level, by requiring you to commit desired changes to disk and leaving any one of these snapshots accessible indefinitely.
>ask me to justify each little detail, each piece of feedback, each option displayed on screen instead of held in memory
I understand this type of approach isn't the most useful in practice (as neither is hiring a ux design team is for a free software developer), but i want people to analyze software in these terms and strive to design efficient interfaces with the least amount of visual clutter (just like the gnome team wants devs to follow their interface guidelines).
>build websites and tools that draw people in
You seem to equate this with copying state of the art or apples design circa 1993. Developers should strive to find the interface most adequate to their problem domain, making it halfway palatable to a competent user would be the next watermark.
>why use base ten as our default?
Because it's a proven convention, that people are capable of intuitively understanding. The main issue i see is that within the capitalist framework of producing worker drones at the minimum of required competence, people aren't afforded the time to properly understand things. It's the type of policy which equates learning computers with sitting schoolchildren in front of microsoft office for a single period.
>I think folding tree menus
Maybe this is a difference in our workflows. When i'm sitting at the wine file explorer to select a file from one of my game directories, i always need to pass through the 'vg' directory.

>Open source operating systems are software communism…building alternatives?
Silicon Valley anarchists are like the original anarchists who used hippie ass Christian theology to resist primitive accumulation…and like them, their "praxis" is immediately recuperated as part of capitalism. Utopian idealism is pre-Marxist pseudoscience from people who didn't understand the power of the proletariat (or actively denied it in favor of their individualist petite bourgeois narcissism)

It's the same issue mentioned already, assume that they fixed the conversion rules and a browser implemented it, suddenly a lot of sites that used to rely on the old behaviour would be broken and as a consequence users would use other browsers where their favourite sites still worked.

So you don't know how Monero works. Unlike bitcoin, transactions cannot be tracked back to you. When you are controlling a node, you can wipe/not save all the logs you want. Nobody is forcing you to keep logs on yourself lol

HugSQL looks like a DSL rather than an ORM so it's going to avoid the usual ORM pitfalls,looks cool btw,didn't know about it

>>30364 (me)
>>30366
Well, ORMs tend to tightly couple your application code to your database schema, which is my reason for avoiding them entirely. You need to keep track of all your migrations and even then if something breaks, it might permanently ruin your database. This is why I try to use the most generic interface possible when interacting with databases with the least amount of abstractions, which in this case is SQL. As long as you don't do anything stupid, raw SQL is fine. But as another anon already mentioned, you're building a hobby project and it'll probably work just fine even if you don't write raw SQL queries.

>>30374
In this application there was a loose coupling between the table UserInDB and the rest of the application. Even though the data is ultimately stored in UserInDB what's passed around are User and UserCreate objects. Ended up really liking this structure, but only understood why after you mentioned this.

class UserCreate(BaseModel):
    username: str
    email: str | None = None
    full_name: str | None = None
    password: str

class User(SQLModel):
    id: uuid.UUID = Field(default_factory=uuid.uuid4, primary_key=True)
    username: str = Field(unique=True)
    email: str | None = Field(default=None)
    full_name: str | None = Field(default=None)
    disabled: bool = Field(default=False)

class UserInDB(User, table=True):
    hashed_password: str

async def get_user(session: AsyncSession, username: str) -> User | None:
    user_in_db = await get_user_in_db(session, username)
    return User(**user_in_db.model_dump(exclude={"hashed_password"})) if user_in_db else None

async def get_user_in_db(session: AsyncSession, username: str) -> UserInDB | None:
    result = await session.execute(select(UserInDB).where(UserInDB.username == username))
    return result.scalar_one_or_none()

>>30377

Am talking too much and thinking too little; for unknown reasons.
I'm disappointed, and cooked.

A query builder lets you conditionally chain parts of queries.
This is unlike PugSQL, HugSQL, or pg-promise.

You're perfectly free to translate from the ORM objects to other objects.
So the coupling to the database schema shouldn't really be an issue.

Really the only substantial issue can understand at my level is missing features in the ORM.
This is like for example the missing TRIGGER functionality for Async SQLAlchemy.

There’s a lot of talk a bit about AI induced “phychosis” and cult-like groups forming online around LLMs, and I think this is not only definitely happening but ground zero for this is Silicon Valley. Anthropic is clearly a cult, OpenAI is a cult. It also believe this is very, very obvious to the point that it’s undeniable.

We are seeing a rare historical moment where a millenarian cult becomes extremely influential and powerful in society and politics. SV AI labs have already completed the process of totally dehumanizing themselves (seeing a human as simply an inferior “image” of AI, understanding all aspects of human experience and being completely in terms of AI, e.g. memory is RAG, knowledge are weights, simply put “you are a next word predictor”) and believe that the end of the world is imminent within a few years.

It's so over

I think it may fire back onto SV, as it becomes an insular culture feedbacking into itself as they interface through the same AI shit they themselves train. Sort of like when Israel produces propaganda for the world, and it just reveals a culture that is fundamentally out of touch with humanity when they proudly praise their heroic semen extractors or whatever
