I doubt it's going to go the same way as search. You can't run Google on consumer hardware, but you can run LLMs locally. At worse, newer models will get worse and you can just stick to older models. You could also argue that prop

I feel like I gamed this somehow. Instead of looking for serial killers, I looked for anyone who didn't look like a programming language inventor and got 10/10.

I think you're missing what they're trying to say. You can still select what you actually need in a different order, but changing the order gives more immediate feedback from autocomplete. The order has pretty much zero impact on

Umm because medicine is supposed to be about helping other people? Why would people spend billions of dollars trying to help others work through a natural disaster? To me that's one of the worst things about modern pharmaceutical compa

Yes I do, and I also know that it's been banging on the door for a long time. My point was that it's slow moving, not that it hasn't affected us yet.

As a youngish adult (27) this is some of what I feel: - Climate change is slowly creeping up on us and corporations keep on trucking along with an endless growth mindset, not caring about the consequences of what is essentially a cancer - S

I kind of feel like you're missing out then. I was pretty young when RSS was "popular" and didn't really get into it back then. I started using it in the past couple of years, and I find it's one of the best ways to

> I have a lot of faith in Elon based on past results. He already solved the problem of people who don't believe in climate change - he got them to buy electric cars because they are sexy. Brilliant man. Wow that's a grim persp

Only if you limit yourself to current CPU architectures. Even GPUs right now are significantly more declarative than CPUs, and it definitely seems like some point in the future we could end up moving towards asynchronous circuits built with

Probably because they find it fun? That's almost always the case when something seems "impractical". I kind of feel like there's a disconnect here between people who write software solely for work & to solve an engin

Hasn't this already already happened though? There's literally nothing else that can compete with ripgrep. A project using Rust isn't a good enough selling point to me if the tool doesn't do what I want, but more often t

I thought the exact same thing until I switched to NixOS. I love Arch, but I'd never go back.

Another funny thing is that good ole vacuum tube computers could automate computation before transistors became widespread.

I'm not saying the UNIX philosophy is the "best" way, I'm just stating why it's valuable. Of course most people don't care about those things, but as a developer, the main issue I see with Windows and macOS, is

I get where you're coming from, but I think the biggest pro for the "UNIX way" is that text on a filesystem extremely accessible. You don't need a specialized tool to read & modify configuration, you just need a text
