The oxford comma debate is so annoying because it clearly has nothing but advantages. Removing commas from a delimited list does nothing to resolve ambiguity, whether lexicographically or syntactically. It's so useful as a delimiter an

I have found AI great in alot of scenarios but If I have a specific workflow, then the answer is specific and the ai will get it wrong 100% of the time. You have a great point here. A trivial example is your happy path git workflow. I want:

Man I miss Chef. It was wildly good for its time with a vibrant community. Habitat was cool but tried to carve into some niches that were too ambitious. And InSpec was an incredible tool but failed to build the critical community to drive i

Is this what it feels like to become one of the gray bearded engineers? This sounds like a bunch of intentionally confusing marketing drivel. When capitalism has pilfered everything from the pockets of working people so people are constantl

Absolutely nobody is arguing that optional items are what is making it tough on people. It's housing and basic groceries. In 2005 I managed to wiggle my way out of poverty by splitting a $615/mo apartment 4 ways on minimum wage (a

There is a keyboard and mouse attached to the server already, but few if any services run, and if they do they're fairly locked down, or in some degraded state. It's not a server I need to access often in this way. But I think the

I think even without AI art we are well past the point of art in famous galleries making sense. Isn't most of this just thinly veiled money laundering anyway? I imagine we WILL see AI art in a famous gallery for exactly this reason. Ex
