I really liked the main question. But I’m more interested in the structure how we journal, not if you use Logseq, OrgMode, paperback, etc. For example, I try to journal by treating my work as “experiments” and tie those in turn to goals and

Thanks for the warning! From the git docs: > Set it to refs/notes/commits to enable rewriting for the default commit notes. Why wouldn’t that at least be the default? Why is rewriting off by default in the first place?

For Mixture of Expert models (like GPTs are), they can produce different results for an input sequence if that sequence is retried together with a different set of sequences in its inference batch, because of the model (“expert”) routing d

To me it implicitly means: “I am selling you my distilled copy of the book at nearly the price of the book. That lets me recoup my investment, and after a few days I will take it offline, so I don’t get a law suit from O’Reilley for copyrig

Oh, wow, scummy to scammy, indeed! It’s all in the fine print… I didn’t bother reading this appendix on the first read of the blog post. Disclaimer: I do really enjoy this book, as it reminds my of uncle Bob’s Clean Code, but a short versio

That’s an interesting viewpoint, even surprising to me. Can you be more concrete about what you think is wrong with the agile software development movement Kent Beck co-founded, and how it destroys developers?

I agree on principal, but believe it is more nuanced and hybrid can work if you implement it uniformly across the company. For example, I’ve seen places where everyone can WFH Tue & Thu or Mon, Wed, Fri where hybrid have a quite smooth

I use this. You can easily pick dates (and it correctly handles time changes in one region vs the other) and you see the time bands side by side. Finally, it has a great mobile app, too. https://www.worldtimebuddy.com/

Here’s another example: Apple Arcade decided to discontinue my kids’ favorite local multiplayer game (Marble Knights). Apple erased the game from my devices and there is no way to get this game at all now, at least as far as I know. With th

Thanks for the pointer to the Leitner system (my last name coincides…) But why would you want to use that simplified Leitner system if Anki can track each card individually? Disclaimer: I don’t know if Anki supports a simplified system that

I don’t think Daly is suggesting to move away from debt as an instrument in his work, only to establish a 100% reserve system for commercial banks, including the Fed. He was suggesting to nationalize money supply via the Treasury, to avoid

I am currently reading the late Daly’s 2014 book “From Uneconomic Growth to a Steady-State Economy” that seems to address exactly your concern for a more fairly distributed economic system. A real eye-opener that would require us to change

Rejoice, as you have issues that are really easy to improve upon. First of all, don’t ever argue about solutions with your peers (e.g. whitespaces), and dive deep (Can you imagine that it is hard for others to read your code? Have you tried

I prefer System76, because it ensures that hardware and software work together flawlessly. Most threads here seem to complain about that, but I never had an issue on that front with my Oryx Pro. Only hardware complaints are that it can beco

The actual problem in that case (when you need a closed door for something like this) is that you are part of a team without trust and you senior staff has not yet learned how to make themselves vulnerable.

My main reason for not using Notion is that its search is half-baked: You cannot search for headlines and body content in a single query. Say if you query for "H B", and H is only in the headline, while B is only in the body, you

Isn't what you are describing exactly the Internet plus a search engine you trust will pick up the article type you are interested in? In fact, you'd still need to trust that open WPv2 thing just like that search engine.
