On some tasks I've seen huge gains. I needed to setup a websocket server, chatGPT saved me tons of hours because Google results are now all useless blogspam so even finding simple resources has become hard. I needed a custom ui compone

What is wrong with svelte stores? I've found them to be incredibly powerful and much easier than dealing with redux.

I use a space indent colorizer plugin that I use a grey scale color scheme with. It isn't a complete replacement for bracket colorization, but it helps in a lot of cases. (Not colorblind, I just prefer a grey scale theme for my indent

For 3.5, I found it easiest to specify a simple, but parsable, format for responses and then convert that to JSON myself. I'll have to see if the new JSON schema support is easier than what I already have in place.

Mental health providers are nearly impossible to find in the Seattle area, no matter the insurance, or even paying cash. For whatever bloody reason they just don't exist in anything near enough quantity.

As an aside, I would love a brand new Palm device, with modern tech it could be obscenely tiny and have good battery life. Palm devices had physical buttons, one of which immediately (0 perceivable lag) opened a todo list When I used to be

The Microsoft Band managed a fancier UI with only 96mhz of CPU, it did have an FPU though which speeds things up quite a bit. Getting good throughput requires DMA, and Band also paid the price and dedicated tons of local SRAM for the frame

The problem is crash test requirements require cars be built in a way that limits visibility. Giant pillars in case of a roll over, and lots of air bags stuffed everywhere. Something had to give, and that thing was visibility.

I honestly love centimeters because 1cm is roughly the width of a pinky fingernail. Makes it easy to visualize. Likewise 1 meter being roughly an arm span, or 3 feet. MI often need to guestimate something and being able to use my body parts

Cree brand bulbs are also 100w equivalent and cheaper than hue. Bit buggy though. :(

Cree, they have 100w equivalent bulbs available, use local wifi only. Hard to control a lot of them though, that is where a bridge is handy.

If you go down to micro-controller levels, you often times are stuck with C++ 2003 and a vendor specific compiler, which means you will lack many of the niceties in the article. I agree with him that removing the entire standard library is
