I almost always try to cap my API results to 10001 items, so it's known if there's "more", depending on the interface(s) used. And when there are more, there's usually other pattern problems with the UX that I'm just kicking a can down the road on at that point.
Even then, far less than an amount one needs to be concerned of, for "performance"
The webs downfall started with AI. Soon everything will be AI generated, from text posts, code that is shared with "look what i made, its cOoL", videos, podcasts etc. The himan touch will be gone, and new models are then trained on AI generated content, making the feedback loop worse and worse.
It is time for a new web. A new standard, a new everything. A new start without the AI bloat. Either something like this will emerge, or we will loose the web we have.
Yeah, I tend to agree, just trying to check my assumptions. There was always some newfangled thing killing the web every other time too.
I would also say that those pronouncements of doom were not necessarily wrong, but that it's been more of a long decline than a fall. I think my expectation is for that to continue.
Not a Odin user, but iirc odin also has Go like zero values. There is no practical option unless you have null. Like a string cant be null, its "at least" an empty string. But whats a base value for a pointer? A function? An interface? Either you wrap (ocaml style) or use null. Its pragmatism vs correctness, a balance as old as computing.
Odin's type system is just different to many other languages, and trying to compare it to others doesn't always work out very well.
`Maybe` does exist in Odin. So if you want a `nil` string either use `Maybe(string)` or `cstring` (which has both `nil` (since it is a pointer) and `""` which is the empty string, a non-nil pointer). Also, Odin doesn't have "interface"s since it's a strictly imperative procedural language.
As for you question about base values, I am not sure what you mean by this. Odin hasn't got a "everything is a pointer internally" approach like many GC'd languages. Odin follows in the C tradition, so the "base value" is just whatever the type is.
LOL No. AI code i see is 90% really bad. The poster then snakes around the first commenter that asks "how much of the code was generated by AI?"
Replies vary from silence to "ill checked all the code" or "ai code is better than human code" or even "ai was not used at all", even it is obvious it was 100% AI.
Youtube is horrible, specially the force-fed "shorts". Its 95% AI slop with the same generic graphics and voice-over. From the actual videos most are also AI generated, making me quit the video as soon as i see it.
My shorts are mostly of the creators I follow or adjecent creators. I do get the occasional AI slop, but it looks more like the algorithm is testing someone new, to learn what they are, than the algorithm feeding me slop.
Now Facebook/insta shorts, they are somehow just trash. But maybe that is because I don’t follow any creators on those platforms.
