Just gave it a whirl and it works pretty good. It doesn't seem like you can force hashcards to let you re-review your deck at anytime though as its on a scheduler. (Imagine this is by design of SRS, but a bit annoying can't overr

I behave this way too. But I also fear it leads to a degree of split personality disorder... and feeling a bit like a fraud.

It also amazes me how incredibly unbrowseable tomshardware is now with all the ads and pop-ups.

This looks amazing. Based on the animated gif, I cant believe how better IRC looks with the text properly indented and separated from the username. Way less visual load!

Canada's government can't even release its annual budget. Nuclear reactors on the moon is just pure click bait and I wouldn't expect anything less from CBC.

Thanks for this. Can you suggest any books that go into these topics with examples?

People can say what they want about AI, but I find an LLM is far better at summarizing information. It was obvious a human wrote this article and it was way too verbose.

You're not thinking like a marketing executive. The people who make $400 a week are not the target audience for this product. It's that simple. Not everything is made for Walmart shoppers.

Why is Qobuz always missing from these sites? It has superior audio quality beyond all other options.

You can get your own key with cerebras and then use it in openrouter. Its a little hidden, but for each provider you can explicitly provide your own key. Then it won't be throttled.

And the alternative 'folks' comes off as arrogant to me.

This comment single handedly caused me to sink 4 hours yesterday into exploring nostr and getting lost in it. I agree with your two decade sentiment, great technology.

Curious, has it been proven that typed languages are easier for LLMs to work with as they dont have to infer types?

First poster could have approach better too. Like "Cool site! I think I may see an error on one item?". Instead of going right to a 'wrong' angle as if all the data should be discredited. I get highly triggered by this t

Interesting! I never heard of Cyclone before. Looks like another Bell Labs contribution.

Yep I program in some niche languages like Pike, Snobol4, Unicon. Vibe coding is out of the question for these languages. Forced to use my brain!

Yet in Gates' recently released memoir, if you do a ctrl+f for Kildall there are zero results. Unsure how Gates, as a programmer and business founder , could write a memoir without a single blurb for Gary.

Personally I find a good linter like SonarLint can actually teach you a lot.

Thanks for sharing this. It's crazy to see videos like this and think how these people had no idea what was coming in the future.

Thanks this is a great recommendation - runs perfect in Wine. There definitely seems to be a habit with developers making calculators that still fall into a 70s form factor. This is a great departure.

There's always a comment like this I find. Some extra layer of data people want to see that explains the first layer, and it never ends - the data on data. Sometimes we just want to know the damn burrito prices and don't care abou

What! You can't say that if Ritchie hadn't creating things, someone else who have... and then proceed to make Jobs as an exception to that rule. There's 100x Jobs out there for every Ritchie. One could say something even bett

Some of the flash websites would be very difficult to even replicate today. How unfortunate really, they looked so unique from each other.

He/She owns the monitor. But the resale is instantly 10-20% of the purchase price once opened. So we're sinking money very fast either way - through owning or "renting".

This guy still doesn't get it even after spending 200k. The lesson should have been "does it solve a problem" and "how do I add value where others haven't". None of those other lessons matter if there's no

I would love to do this except it's usually my hands that are coldest, and I need them out to type on keyboard majority of time. Thus I have a space heater in my office.

Snobol4 is pretty much exactly this. Everything branches based on success or failure of predicates.
