Definitely! Gen Z & A value uniqueness and authenticity. I think the customization options will resonate a lot with them.

It’s not the same service. Google’s vision OCR is pure text extraction, not layout. Pretty sure Google’s doc AI services that can identify headers vs body text is $10 per 1k pages.

Don’t think stuff like borg is necessary now that Emacs has built in support for installing packages from git repos (use-package :vc)

Hitting limits is more related to how many tokens it’s generating, not necessarily how complex the changes are. Hit the weekly limit on my 20x plan last week trying to do a full front end rewrite of a giant enterprise web app, 600+ html tem

I agree. Someone can totally have this mindset while being an inexperienced developer. In my mind, a senior engineer knows what needs extra attention and where it’s ok to cut corners.

ASDF (Another System Definition Facility) is my all time favorite name for a piece of software. Descriptive, funny, and easy to type!

Emacs takes a lifetime to learn. The sooner you start the longer it takes!

Are you using gptel exclusively, or also things like aider/claude code? I’d love to hear more about your workflow if you have time to share!

I buy disposable vapes because I convince myself it’s my last one. Once it runs out I’ll quit. Buying a rig is accepting defeat. Except this vape ran out faster than I expected. I have a big week at work coming up and I can’t afford the dip

Btrfs snapshots are the closest thing I can think of. It doesn’t have the concept of branches specifically, but you can take snapshots of the entire file system and view specific files from those snapshots without having to roll back the wh

Can’t you do that with a normal escrow service? People do it every day when they buy houses and other expensive items. Why bother with blockchain?

Managing rounding and ensuring each set of entries balance can be tricky, especially if you have to share data with a system that can only handle currencies with two decimal places. There are scenarios where it’s actually not possible to h

That’s why I always say “12 noon” when writing out scheduling instructions for something at 12PM.

That’s why I disable all of Spotify’s smart playlist and auto play features. When my playlist/album ends I want to select something new, not be spoon fed whatever everyone else is listening to!

Agreed, not seeing many good use cases. It could be prescribed to alcoholics who can’t/won’t stop drinking to help them taper off alcohol, but people would just end up drinking more to counter it. The best use I can think of is for und

The problem is Apple is corrupting SMS, which should be a public and interoperable standard. Google/Gmail is doing the same thing to email. There’s no technical reason you couldn’t have end-to-end encrypted text messages between iOS an

+1 for the Midori notebooks. I bought a nice leather cover and replaced the notebooks inside as they fill up. Or at least I did before I switched to writing on my Kindle scribe. I do miss the analog experience sometimes though.

fish has by far the best auto-completion out of the box. That’s what sold me. And the website is amazing. “Finally, a command line shell for the 90s”

For plugins maybe, but coming up with a thoughtful set of key bindings takes work. If everything is reconfigurable, like with Emacs, I don’t see the harm in giving users something to start with.

C-h a (apropos-command) makes finding things with unexpected names a lot easier. I relied on C-h f (describe-function) for years, but that only matches function names. Apropos searches doc strings as well.

Adderall reduces your task activation threshold, the amount of effort required to start something. It’s definitely possible to reduce this threshold too far! If you do you’ll end up jumping into the first project you come across and tacklin

Is piracetam still the goto for the nootropics community? I thought people were moving away from that for some reason, but I can’t remember why or where I heard that.

Sorry, I should have explained more. I think it’s ridiculous to make a blanket statement about how kids are raised in America vs France with zero evidence to back it up. There are plenty of strict parents in the US, and I’m sure there are p

Super accurate description! I never considered motivation and willpower to be separate, but I think your breakdown makes a lot of sense.

They are probably still working, but you’ll never get the same rush of excitement/euphoria that you felt in the first few months. The euphoria is a negative side effect in my opinion. That’s what leads to abuse and addiction. Don’t cha
