Generate code using LLM on a small project, then copy manually toward your big project. This reduces the context (and the cost) for the LLM and gives you many small projects where you can experiment ideas with more agility.

I think the current intellectual property system is flawed. Books are knowledge, and we shouldn't be able to limit the spread of knowledge. I imagine that books could be sold at the cost of printing, and there could be a QR code inside

I think power users are not the main target of Ubuntu. I have put my parents on Ubuntu (gnome) in 2013 to replace windows XP. My mother is 88 now. I think it is the perfect fit for her (dad is dead years ago). I use ubuntu gnome because twe

I suggest if a.abs()+b.abs() >= (a-b).abs() * 2f64.powi(48) It remains accurate for small and for big numbers. 48 is slightly less than 52.

make 2>&1 | tee m.log is in my muscle memory, like adding a & at the end of a command to launch a job, or ctrl+z bg when I forget it, or tar cfz (without the minus so that the order is not important). Without this terseness, peop

I am french. Everydays, we use DD/MM/YYYY or DD/MM/YY. Sometimes, I encounter YYYY-MM-DD, for example at the beginning of a document reference or in a file name. For me, it feels natural and I have no issue to make this

I think that Marissa Meyer had given yahoo back a bit of its lustre. That meant cutting dividends in favour of investment. Restoring a reputation takes time. I stopped taking an interest when she was ousted by impatient shareholders. I am n

IMHO, indieweb has not taken off because web hosting was dirt cheap and an internet subscription with a good upload was awfully expensive. Nowadays, the balance has changed and it is less true. Cheap web hosting has become complicated trade

Yes, yes and yes. ORM are marvelous when you do not know well SQL. With experience, you always end up needing to learn more about SQL. In the end, ORM is as much a hindrance as a help. So instead of spending energy learning the ORM of the d

Blocking downloads of liblzma seems to me to be an ill-advised decision. Now that the mechanism is known, the dangers are limited, but the educational value of being able to study what has been done is real.
