>[...] you are asking it to continuously compress its output into a lower-bandwidth format. That compression is lossy. Yes, that's exactly what I want. I want to know what is done with a high level why, NOT a paragraph explaining

Because VILT is dead and Livewire is now on version 1100? I've worked on both stacks in the last few years across several clients. Honestly like with anything in tech it seems to mostly fall apart with half-regarded usage of the tools

In a small local scene with several whatsapp groups, I put "don't be an edgelord" as a catch-all rule rule when I started a discord in the community. Lo and behold, the EXACT person I had in mind when making the rule, moaned

For better or worse, AI is beating on video essays too. Maybe my attention span is truly stuffed, but I really can't stand it when a video essay is the most succinct source on a topic - waiting for someone to express their thoughts in

Yes, which is why I commented why I did - poster was pointing at the Netherlands which seemed to misconstrue the current state of the problem.

Personally I think the verdict is still out on if Opus & co are actually worse, or the rate at which we move with these tools now is faster than we're used to for managing tech debt and compounding complexity with rapidly built sof

I'll mirror some other anecdata here: Not finding Fable to be amazingly godlike at actual coding, but it does seem better at planning, architectural thinking, and reviewing code. Used it to think through some longer form refactors th

There is one underrated feature that I switched to Bitwarden for , away from KeePass: the emergency contact access. You can designate contacts that can request access to your account. If you don't deny the request within a time frame,

Responding here to short-circuit all the replies to this: You shouldn't be looking at just various kinds of earplugs as options for this. You can get custom made earplugs for your ears for differing use cases (sleep, concerts) at an EN

I guess what I'm asking for is what the point is of a "baked" image for interpreted language ecosystems. Already using multi stage builds. "Builds" are the same as deploys, so when working with server(s) instead of

Somewhat adjacent in how I look at using Docker at all in prod, here's what I always wonder: Is using Docker/Compose "just" as the layer for installing & managing runtime environment and services correct? Especiall
