I received counterfeit goods multiple times due to this. I set up a subscribe and save order and they would let random retailers fill the order with fake products. Amazon collected the money and just did not care, they need to be held accou

mIRC scripting is what got me into programming. The summer I found it as a kid I was immediately hooked, being able to write code that actually interacted with the world and did something blew my mind. I was so into the 'war channels&#

Getting the dockerfile order right is critical due to how docker caching works. Even if you aren't an expert it is trivial these days to copy/paste it into chatGPT and ask it to optimize or suggest improvements to the dockerfile,

Just as the engine replaced physical strength, artificial intelligence, through models like large language models, is now replacing cognitive labor and thought. From the article "Muscles grow by lifting weights" yet we do that now

With LLM generated code (and any code really) the interface between components becomes much more important. It needs to be clearly defined so that it can be tested and avoid implicit features that could go away if it were re-generated. Only

Commander Keen was my childhood and then later mIRC scripts were my life. My mind was blown by being able to program something that could interact with real people like mIRC. My love for coding started there.

I always have a tab open with merrysky. I really like the extra detail they show in the graph of wind/temp/precipitation and the break down of the day. For Seattle area in particular most weather apps will show the entire week as

Replacing even a small amount of your gaming time with consistent exercise goes so far. Once you realize that you can actually achieve anything you set your mind to just by making a routine you will find yourself wanting to shift the time a

I got adjustable dumbbells last year and it was the most impactful change of the year for me. It is amazing how far regular exercise goes.

What worked for me was: * Find new hobbies and things you enjoy, even if it is just being better at video games because you aren't drinking when you play. You can't 'stop' something without replacing it with something el

Around 2007 Google was paying $1 per install/click through to Firefox back when IE was the dominant browser. It seemed like Google threw a ton of money at disrupting the browser market with FF then followed up by launching Chrome. The

That's a thought provoking way to put it. Part of the problem is however that only internal employees fully understand the destruction that was going on.

Interesting point, but if the government considered whoever had control of the coins the rightful owner and not stolen, would it be laundering then? It doesn't sound like a problem of taxes.

I'm excited to try this out, I was toying with the idea of creating something similar. I see a strong need for a microblogging framework where users have control of their data. Mastadon is great, but I think Zooko goes farther in the r

What I see as broken is the expectation that dev tools and the entire dev stack should be provided for free. It manifests as only using "open source" tools and everything in this blog post applies. As a developer I both expect too

This looks like the inverse of "everyone needs to come back to the office so that we know you are working". I doubt this will go well since if it keeps happening unproductive people will become the best at gaming the system. But a

Tooling, ecosystem, and Java are what killed clojure for me. I love the language and the way Rich Hickey approaches it, but I was constantly frustrated with the lack of an IDE and having to stop to deal with Java and Java tooling errors all
