The things mentioned in the post aren’t code. That’s why code isn’t the hard part. Writing the algorithm to x y or z isn’t the hard part. Knowing that the algorithm is needed, it’s beneficial, there’s no alternative and the optimization isn

This list is so absurd. We’ll face a bigger problem sooner rather than later, which is population collapse. Youth don’t procreate amy more. Birth numbers are at an all time low. We see the issue arise in rats and the experiment is all too

Speak facts. Don't hide behind morality this, care that, environment and virtue signalling... Tell me, what is the factual things Grok model does wrong and is factual incorrect?

I’m using MacParakeet these days. If your language is supported, definitely give it a try. It’s much faster and lower footprint

Fyi, your bottom bar with links isn't responsive causing annoying behaviour with horizontal scroll on mobile phone

Still to this day I don't understand how people manage to do software development on a Windows PC. I started with my first secondhand MacBook which was one before the unibody, and then upgraded to unibody and never have left ever. The

I had the feeling that Cerebras only supports smaller modes. Maybe something to do with their hardware arch? I never dove into it. I wanted to use Kimi K2 fast for coding and Groq was the only fast provider at the time

The nice thing is that adding this to the basic prompt that cursor uses will advance all those users and directly do away with this problem only to discover the next one. However, all these little things add up to a very powerful prompt whe

Don't underestimate the amount of knowledge you don't have to perfect things. I remember building scheduling software in PHP in high school, because I just fixed problem after problem, and I was not limited by any form of knowledg

I’ve used something similar quite a long time ago called Jade. Seems to be renamed to Pug. Here’s a nice writeup with some examples (not mine, found the webpage missing examples): https://www.sitepoint.com/jade-tutorial-for-

Why wouldn't they redistribute to other maintainers of the plugins/clients. They have much more knowlegde of where money is needed or where resources are lacking. Or pay devs, not in their circle to build the features the communit

Would this be something to use over Docker containers when running a single host homelab server? What would be the cons/benefits?

Didn’t Google’s closure compiler so something similar way before we had imports?

So hypocritical to say this and not resign yourself. Leave Google it’s choice and leave the company, don’t start destroying it from the inside, or stay and don’t speak your individual opinion

How is this different from Pothos, type-graphql or typegql? This announcement post doesn’t really have much to show for. I’d expect some comparison with other products that are on the market already

Really? I think they’re terrorists AND stupid. Why else would they use funds from charity to build tunnels? Why else wouldn’t they build a local economy instead of investing in the daily rain of rockets on their neighbours? Why else would

Great stuff! Just want to mention, when I search for “ExpressLRS use uart on older f4 fcs” it gives me about 15 results, but only the first two are unique. The other 13 are a literal copy of the first, both in content and in URL. Probably b

From your response I assume you have no children or maybe one. There’s a vast array of character traits in children that require different parenting in a way that your parents haven’t treated you or your siblings or you’ve been unaware of t

Do yourself a favour and install fish-shell with starship.rs and call it a day. Make sure to put everything prompt related in a `if status --is-interactive` block. Blazing fast versatile fancy prompt and interactive human friendly shell. Wh

I’m a heavy user of excalidraw. I wonder if it would be possible to extend something like that to add “flow” design. It could be as simple as defining the dotted arrow as the view direction, ie. when an element is clicked, show this boundin

Interesting perspective. I'd like to use that and say that we should have solar noon in the middle of our "awake" hours instead of in the middle of our work hours. This would benefit even more. We're not in a society whe

We (Europe) shouldn't fragment time zones that much. We (NL) should stay on permanent summer time. Reasons - criminality is lower when there's longer light - earlier darkness leads to more accidents. It's better to have longe

Great article. Nice to have it interactive. How does it work? Do you have a terminal running somewhere or does it run in the browser? One thing I noticed, and where I stopped continuing, is that the jump from Filtering Nested Arrays to Flat

This and a feature to “insert” note lengths instead of “overwriting” them, is imo a fundamental piece of missing feature. I have the same experience with posting a request for help in this direction. They’re very pedantic when it comes to h

You should take a look at Colemak. It keeps the zxcv at the same place, particularly for shortcuts. I’ve switched now 6 years ago. I had a speed of about 80-85 wpm on Qwerty. And now recently I’m on the same speed with Colemak. So that took

Having used FiraCode for a long time, I switched to a very customisable font called Input [1]. I really like the narrowest one for my terminal, as this allows me to fit more on the screen in horizontal direction. I’ve used Ligaturizer [2]

Is it really like that? I expected a docker container having all the deps except for running the project which would be something that’s mounted as a volume. Then each container would spin up its own watcher to build/test/serve th
