Very excited to see union types and to see C# on here. C# can feel like a bit of a scarlet letter in the bay.

Now that is actually novel! To me, at least. You cook them into a regular soup as an additive? Or you make watermelon rind soup? How’s it taste?

Native AOT with C#/.net has come a long way, fwiw. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/deploying/nati...

I had a similar drop off in high school. For me it happened when the volume of assigned reading, particularly summer reading, crowded out all of the reading for pleasure. I just never started back up after that, despite fits and starts over

Thoughtful and to the point, I like it. I’m curious how long this process takes others. I’m in a new role for the first time in a while and trying to find the right balance between ramping up quickly and taking enough time for deeper learni

I bought one for my dad a long time ago. I was late in ordering (if memory serves) and asked if I could pick it up in person. Not only did Cliff say yes, but he gave me a tour of his shop and let me watch as he retrieved the bottle from his

This is a really good description of the problem. I’ve been trying to use Claude to get familiar with the mechanics of a new codebase, and there have been so many moments where I’ve stopped after reading the same paragraph five times in a r

I would also love to hear more details.

I’ve never thought about it quite like that, but it’s a great point. So, thanks for sharing the thought in this unique way.

Have you tried the beta? Have you found it to be substantially better?

I would also be really interested in seeing this if you’re willing to share it.

Not as satisfying as seeing your books, but I keep a running doc where I note the title, dates, a short synopsis, and a few sentences of thoughts for books I’ve read. It helps me keep track a little better.

I had a congenital cataract removed, and the intraocular implant can’t adjust focus like a normal lens. So I have a similar problem. Progressives suck. Bifocals also suck. Finding an optometrist who was willing to listen, experiment, and ad

Curious if anyone has had hair issues while taking it. I’m aware that there’s no positive evidence for an effect, but there is an at least plausible mechanism. I’ve gone through two periods where I took it and liked the effects, but felt li

I developed this habit when I worked in software support. It made me substantially more effective. Sometimes people are reading for the joy of the prose. Sometimes they’re reading because they want to get to the answer. In the latter case,

Still plays on the radio. I can recognize it within the first two bars and have nearly punched a hole in my dashboard trying to turn it off.

Really? Both times I got a loan they wanted bank statements from all of my main accounts and verifiable income history, but they didn’t care that I was paying from an account that I had just opened for the specific purpose of paying the loa

Mine was very simple, just finding and playing with values in config.ini for Red Alert 2 so that I could have infinite Tanyas and such. Next step was trying to get the boot screen to display a MS-branded Borg cube but instead bricking the m

I also feel this way, but more importantly, I feel like my sentences are more coherent when typed because typing allows for corrections and modifications of ideas. Do whispr people just … get coherent, finalized ideas out in a single shot w

I respectfully disagree with the initial routing point. I very strongly prefer a traditional tree to “I’m your voice assistant! In a few words, tell me how I can help!”. The tree is structured and gives me an immediate sense of how to map m

My folks gave me a big box of hard drives from various family computers over the years. Learning to use ddrescue and photorec to get data off of them was a ton of fun. Really cool tools, and not wildly unfriendly to someone who’d never used

My espresso routine is a strong Americano made with two doubles and a little bit of water (I think I may get some hate for the Americano?). I like it, but it does take a little while to measure, grind, pull, clean, etc. If I don’t feel like

I don’t have the plus, but the non plus still produces better espresso than I can get from the spots near me. As the proud owner of a 2008 Corolla, I approve.

I frequently see it reference points that it made and then added to its memory as if they were my own assertions. This creates a sort of self-reinforcing loop where it asserts something, “remembers” it, sees the memory, builds on that asser

I have no affiliation with Shorts Blocker, but I installed it a long time ago and immediately forgot that shorts existed. Worth whatever I paid for it. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/shorts-blocker-for-youtube/
