Is it super weird and creepy if you I tell you I remember the last 15 seconds of what you said?

I didn't find the original R.R. particularly funny like the other Looney characters, I was more drawn in by the cleverness or "what is going to happen next?".

The Looney Toons Show from 2011 - I thought the same about role changes, but the show is an absolute gem, at least the second season when they got the characters to gel.

It's now like coding using the socratic method. Knowing the right questions is now the hard part. And you need to know the context to ask the right questions. Yes, I'm not typing in as much code or reading as much code directly, b

That wouldn't bother me if it would just make bullet lists, which I think I'll start asking for. "Summarize", "synopsis", "brief", "concise" these rarely help I feel because its summarizing

one-off, LLMs killed it would be my take.

Seems pretty minor. It seems there is hope for quantum computing at IBM.

OS/2 was the only thing I remembering being great. If they practically gave it away I think we'd be living in a different world. Pre-emptive multitasking long before OSX/Windows. I mean Microsoft essentially had to force wind

I don't know what they had before but their identity seemed to be IBM's overnight (thinkpads and all).

The reason I was breaking the curve in my Data Structures class was because I was thirsty for that knowledge from working in Basic on my C64. My parents paid the original $595 price and definitely the best decision they ever made for me.

In regard to heaven, you don't need to believe for her - she believed.

The recipes are a little bit too clever i think. Turning the text on the actions saves space but it makes the instructions off-putting.

I used to type in the programs from Commodore 64 Magazine back in the day. If you just touch type them in you learn very little. If I wanted to understand them, I wouldn't do it while typing. Sure a bit rubs off and probably more if yo

Windows - pfff, Microsoft charged companies like Dell for an install on computers they didn't even install it on !!!

I think the progession is like 1) Oh, I can break stuff by changing a config value - it doesn't protect me. 2) Oh, I didn't think X would need to be configurable. 3) With code I can colocate the values with the code that uses them

Odd to include Chapman and not Dylan. Much like leaving out Twain - seems like the defacto choice to me.

yeah, that's the one. Yep it doesn't seem as intended.

I think the one you are calling "figure hands"... if you mean the one where hands are numbers could just use better styling overall. Two colors, different sizes, better choice of font.

But with Clojure and immutable by default, hot reload is a real thing, it sounds like not just on JVM but even among lisps.

I've yet to find a panacea. For example, I thought DRY was, but found its not the case (test scenarios). I've yet to find altruisms past "everything in moderation". If you do choose a style and stick to it though at leas

I've feel like AOP is Spring on steroids. Same downside for both IMO.

I didn't carry a cell phone for long enough (I do now) that people looked at me like I was nuts. I viewed a cell phone the same way most people thought of a pager (remember those things?) - for other people's convenience, not mine

Agreed. Wasn't track barefoot back in the day? I mean even shoes are an advantage. Swimming sped up after goggles and swimcaps were accepted. I think it's all just where do you decide to draw the line? I've thought badminton

Eh, I like MacBooks because they've been bulletproof. Any PC I suspect it might just go kaput whenever it feels like it, except for maybe a ThinkPad, but they cost more than a MacBook.

I suppose you could chalk this up to an oversight. I don't see how Meta gained from this. They've been purposeful about collecting user data and lying about it, eg: 2025 Android Tracking Incident. Shouldn't just be an embarra

I like the qualification of "large-ish". When someone says code is not the bottleneck, I assume they work for a large company. To be fair, at a start-up developers think they code at least 4 hours a day, but it never averages that

We really want to believe that we can understand everything, yet we know we cannot.
