I mean, even Valve has tried it in the past, and it was a failure. Look up Steam Machines from 2010s. I consider the success of Steam Deck (thanks to flawless execution this time) as almost a minor miracle.

It's not very crazy to me. Most corporate teams are overrun with feature creep that "is very simple" (i.e. it takes 3x as long as estimated, because the codebase is a mixture of overengineered spaghetti for that one customer

When debugging multi-threaded env with debugpy & VSCode, VSCode jumps to code that is active in currently active thread. Is DAP something different? From briefly looking at the docs, it seems like DAP calls debugpy for Python debugging,

So, IIUIC, new capabilities: - It'll be possible to print stack traces without modifying or stopping the program. - It'll be possible to exec into a program at runtime without modifying it. I'm not sure why the author mention

It's probably docs... If it can hallucinate an answer, it's docs with probably the most infuriating UX one can imagine. I remember being taught that no docs is better (i.e. less frustrating to the user) than bad/incorrect doc

In a very simplistic way: - Smoking brings cancer and damages lungs. - Vaping damages lungs (more research needed on other possible conditions). - Nicotine pouches damage teeth. I suppose the healthiest way of ingesting nicotine would be ni

Ah well that explains things, I have a one-page Europass CV.

Why would it be considered a negative flag? I've been using it my whole professional life (~15 years, multiple jobs) and never had an issue with it. It's just a PDF in the end.

That's why you rotate everyone, not just those that "volunteer"... This way, you're spreading knowledge to everyone, e.g. if I'm forced to deal with an issue on code you wrote, I'm forced to learn about it. Of

In my company, we rotate every 5 months. So every 6th month, I get put into the customer-facing team for 1 month. Every other month, a different team member is on the customer-facing team. This is still annoying, but gives you enough time t

Presumably, if US already has all of the minerals it needs, the minerals' deal is going to do as much good as is current status quo. After all, why would the US get involved when they don't need the minerals they'd have to lo

This looks horrible for anything but personal scripts/projects. For anything close to production purposes, this seems like a nightmare.

Wouldn't this be very well mitigated by the use of an air purifier?

Honestly, I'm still not sure how I feel about Red Hat/IBM's journey. On one hand, RH killed (i.e. "gave to IBM to rot away") a lot of products I liked (recently, the whole JBoss stack they had, see [1] for more deta

What is the actual engineering discipline that goes into creating prompts? Other than providing more context, hacking the data with keywords like "please", etc?

Oh wow, thanks for this, had no idea there's a credit limit. More annoying to me is that you have to use up your credits before cancelling your sub. If you have credits and you cancel your sub, you lose the credits.

With the advent of various car renting apps, I was so excited about not owning a car, and basically using just-in-time renting option. Turns out, at least in my part of the world ([0]), that it's such a PITA. When you plan ahead, it&#x

To be honest, it's insane to me that there's no law about this. If you're a subscription business and you see 0 activity on a paying customer for 60 days, you should be required to ask them whether they want to continue using

If the streaming services did this, I'd probably have pretty much all of them. Then, instead of paying monthly, you essentially have a tab open with everyone, and you pay for whatever you stream. Indeed, this would make me way less ann

Of course, but you're forgetting the context. In your world, OP's comment must be simply nonsense. The sun is warm.

In my mind, LLMs are lowering the barrier of searching in the same way Google did in the early 2000s. Back then, you had to very specifically tailor your search key words, not use words such as "the," "a," etc. Google ev

If Canada joined the EU, they would have a TON of immediate immigrants, ranging from manual labor (e.g. plumbers, builders, cleaners, factory workers, ...) up to knowledge workers (e.g. software engineers, doctors, nurses, ...). Not sure wh

Funny, I'm 33 and DSA "inspired" me not to go to FAANG+. Of course, not the DSA themselves, but rather, leetcoding. Good luck on your journey!

You probably need a seedbox + private trackers for the best pirating experience. If you play <5 games a year, probably not worth it.

This is certainly true for me. As a kid, I used to pirate movies/tv shows on my slow 1Mbps connection. Nowadays, I just want to turn on my TV and start Netflix/HBO/Disney/... But, with the advent of pretty severe content

I'm sure everyone knows this, but `open` has an equivalent on Linux: `xdg-open`.
