the author paid for a robot to write the software while they watched. it's a bad faith dig at ai-driven development, not the part of the comment that was supposed to be taken seriously, sorry.

went to today's puzzle, was assigned an easy symmetrical nonogram. even though that was a disappointing start i was open to doing more, so i opened a hard one and was faced with a nonogram symmetrical on more axes than the easy one. si

i'm sympathetic to her health concerns (obviously) but the blog post is about type 1 and your girlfriend seems to have type 2. although they have similar names, their causes are unrelated. from my perspective you are responding to a bl

i have multiple family members with t1d and having experienced their stories i expected this blog to be filled with anti-patient practises, planned obsolesence and the like. however, i was relieved to read that's not the case.

despite gaming being used in the title, it is not mentioned in the article, but i'm curious how this performs. i've ran some multi vendor frankenstein setups before and sometimes it even works, so i'm curious to hear your exp

While I had to, I enjoyed using WSL1 on Windows. It was disappointing to find WSL2 has no user upside; it just discards the benefits of WSL1 in favor of the simpler implementation. Shame for all of the people who worked hard on WSL1 only to
