Kinda.
Ignoring the pedantic take that nearly every website is a saas.
And the slightly less pedantic take that every interactive website is a saas

If your website is an app that does a thing that a user wants, it’s a saas.
Your website just does mpeg to gif transcoding? That’s a saas. Online text editor? SaaS. Online tamagotchi? SaaS.

If it doesn’t scale to the number of users who want or need to use it, then it’s not a very good SaaS. But SaaS it is.

What makes it “working”, is that the Software part of Software as a Service, is available as a Service.

The service doesn’t have to scale to a million users. It’s still a SaaS if it has one customer with like 4 users.

Is this a pedantic argument? Yes.
Are you starting a pedantic fight about the specific definition of SaaS? Also yes.

Lol they don’t need scaling and redundancy to work. They just need scaling and redundancy to avoid being sued into oblivion when they lose all their customer data.

As a full time AI hater, I fully believe that some code-specialized AI can write and maybe even deploy a full stack program, with basic input forms and CRUD, which is all you need to be a “saas”.

It’s gonna suck, and be unmaintainable, and insecure, and fragile. But I bet it could do it and it’d work for a little while.

I hope this is satire 😭

For a long time we’ve said it’s important to separate semantics and presentation (eg html vs css).

I’ve always wondered why we never followed our own advice when creating new programming languages. Let the IDE present whatever TF you want, and in the background it’s simply building an Abstract Syntax Tree and serializing that to a file in whatever serialization format it prefers.

I’ve dreamed of making my own data-flow language that follows that principle, but I have neither the knowledge of compilers nor the free time to try.

He exposed himself as a poser especially as a bash programmer

I need to know 😭

It’s such a stupid joke that I prefer to interpret it like this:

He discovered that he is the source of the woke mind virus, and then he forcefully lobotomized himself.

The confusion is an affectation they’re putting on because the execution of the joke is just so poor.

I especially love that he didn’t say where he was running rm -rf and I like to believe it’s from root, so he lobotomized himself.

I kinda wish it included the dates on these. Not having them makes me a bit dubious

People care about graphics.
But they care about other things more
So the graphics need to be in service to something.

Imo the problem is that studios have become risk adverse because their budget is so big, so they pick an already popular IP, choose a marketable aspect of that IP, and spend that fortune turning the dial of that aspect up to 11.

Like X but bigger map
Like Y but more playable characters
Like Z but better graphics
Etc
But none of the time actually innovating any new player experience.

And players are finally getting fed up with playing the same handful of AAA game experiences again and again with different titles.

Graphics just happens to be the marketable attribute they like to crank most often

I have a withings scale and it’s great so far.
Like you, I had a Fitbit one, and I find it sucked and was very unreliable.

It’s worth noting that there is a withings home assistant integration

I think a lot of people here aren’t looking at this in the right way:

They don’t have to accept accounts for student or let students interact. This can be an alternative system for disseminating announcements with optional mechanisms for feedback. All they need to do is federate and then any of their students subscribe.

I’ve been wishing that my my governments (at all levels) would do this so I can get notified of things like changes to bus schedules or closures of highways and shit.

I know the image post was hyperbole, but the way y’all are gushing over it is borderline religious, in an unsettling way.

Immediately, you call boilerplate a Big Deal and identify yourself as a zealot. Even in Java, a notoriously verbose and boilerplate laden language, it’s a Small Deal unless you’re doing something insane. Let me guess, your coding in VI or something.

Rust looks great. It’s a bunch of small improvements over most languages. But True Believers of any lang need to chill the fuck out.

Yeah, I picked that username for a reason 😭

I said it was better, just not much better.

The maintenance costs of equals is nearly zero. Scrolling over boilerplate seems like a real stretch, like saying a novel with a picture every chapter is harder to read.

I like that you can’t accidentally forget to update it, which is kinda nice but is rarely a concern.
And it’s a bit more readable, which is nice.
It’s better, but folks are talking like it’s Super Jesus and I think it’s more like finding a dollar in the parking lot.

It’s like 5 seconds to regenerate it. Boilerplate doesn’t matter, just collapse it. The only real issue is remembering to update it, if you make a change.

Like I said, I prefer for rust does it, it’s just not a big deal

Why did you even bring up AI? IDEs have been able to generate equality functions for decades without AI.

It’s kinda neat to have this defined directly in the language so that compilers can implement it, but creating equality function is so low effort that this doesn’t really seem like a big deal.

Like, you define the members in a class, then you tell your IDE to generate getters, constructor, equals, hashcode, etc all in like 5 seconds.
I like it, it’s nice when the language itself defines reasonable defaults for things, but realistically you’re saving yourself a few seconds of effort.

I mean, if your IDE does it for you, is it really that much better that it’s shorter?

Interesting.

So that means match any string that is made entirely of a single repeating sequence, where repititon is possible.
