Yeah I've just gone back to hand coding everything and pretend AI doesn't exist. Seriously. It doesn't have any measurable impact on my productivity (since there's no meaningful way to measure it), and is slowly restorin

There are so many bold claims in this article. I think this deserves taking with a grain of salt.

What if the new release which contains the fixes has new dependencies and those also have new dependencies? I assume they have to Frankenstein packages sometimes to maintain the borders of the target app while still having major vulns patch

I'm some ways I'd argue the UI of darktable is ahead of its time and fairly snazzy. It's just a much more sophisticated tool. What is one thing about the UI that specifically feels dated? Burried maybe, but dated?

"has me on antidepressants, anti-anxiety meds, and mood stabilizers" Have you considered getting a second opinion on your meds? That sounds like a lot if that's 3 separate medications, and not without side effects which may b

No, nothing exists in a vacuum.

Why is that? I also used to hold this opinion, but we use it for 99% of our production deployments (or k8s where we need it) and it has been maximally reliable, and super convenient for fault-finding. Maybe I didn't understand your tak

Looks really cool. I like the style :P I hope it takes off! I noticed it's a bit slow after clicking the title of a thread, unlike HN which is a bit more instantaneous. It wouldn't be a problem but it's the main interaction s

Very cool. I was thinking about something similar. In response to those saying it is not in the true spirit of Zettelkasten, that's probably fair, but this could easily incorporate your own notes/thoughts too, but you get to keep

How can you maintain that much stashed code between commits? I assume you refer to it and manually code using the "mess" as inspo? I don't know stash works much deeper than stashing things I might need later so I can pull fro

Huh I must have just got in on time as I set up a local account about 12 hours ago following a tutorial.

Would it not be more direct to do gas exchange with blood?

This is interesting, and I'll try to remember to give this a go next time I'm tempted to patch something from the standard library, but... The README mentions 3 scenarios that this might be preferred over, but not the fourth which

I wasn't planning to renew so soon. Then they dropped this bombshell and I impulse bought another 12 months subscription. So far I'm digging it and looking forward to composing some spicey chord progressions.

I'm interested in computers. What's the point of meadows without computers.

How would you go about making it more secure but still getting to have your cake too? Off the top my head, could you: a) only ingest text that can be OCRd or somehow determine if it is human readable b) make it so text from the web session

This has been my experience as well, but there are plenty of assertions here that are not always true, e.g. "AI coding tools are sophisticated enough (they are not) to fix issues in my projects" … but how do you know this if you a

I really like the idea of seeking a no (e.g. let me know if I shouldn't go ahead) but as soon as I add something like, "I will do this on this date, unless I hear otherwise", is a little aggressive feeling. It might be easy e

If those 4 aspects are used to judge whether "fair use", I'd say that's the nail in the coffin, because of course it isn't fair use and that's totally fair. Here I was thinking "transformative" was so

Yeah absolutely taking artificial sweetener can't cause a glucose spike itself (no glucose or minimal amount to be derived), but maybe it could contribute to spikier glucose in general (due to sweetness contributing to hormonal dis-reg

When I researched it in the past I thought that multiple studies corroborated that while blood sugar doesn't increase from drinking artificially sweetened drinks that people who drink them still tend to gain weight. I'm not sure h

There's just no way I buy that I could safely make a change in a 100 loc function and know that there won't be an impact 30 lines down, where with a few additional function you can define the shape of interactions and know that if

What's the alternative in front-end? I had assumed those things were needed to essentially reverse engineer the web to be more reactive and stateful? Genuinely want it to be simpler.

Oh right. Yes, I agree that motivated individuals get the work done for themselves and others. It's just that some people don't acknowledge that we collectively own problems/solutions because they are structural (inherent to

No. Everyone, instead of the affected person being blamed. Of course there are those in ivory towers doing a lot of waffling but the structural/societal view is always more productive than an individualist one which is ignoring the net

Is this a well studied topic I can research or just a guess?

How can you say they don't reason if reasoning is required to produce high rates of success that previously have only been successfully answered using reasoning? Its not like they are guessing randomly but just cooindidentally having

What's the difference between "talk" or "produce output" in your mind? I feel that automatic completion makes it sound as if the complete result was already supplied to the model or that it is akin to just the most

I've encountered this idea before from people with anti-woke tendencies; that they think woke people are holding them responsible for causing offense as though causing offense is the harm that the woke crowd believes needs to be stoppe
