I have installed this and configured the API key, it's been three hours nothing is happening for some reason. The app doesn't show anything. Is it because I have a multi monitor setup?

Can you enlighten me with some advanced features that you use? I would love to start using them. I have always used iTerm, but never really used advanced stuff.

I have always wondered - what if the utf-8 space is filled up? Does it automatically promote to having a 5th byte? Is that part of the spec? Or are we then talking about utf-16?

Unpopular opinion: Let us say AI achieves general intelligence levels. We tend to think of current economy, jobs, research as a closed system, but indeed it is a very open system. Humans want to go to space, start living on other planets, t

For reducing the number of points, I had to do something similar but for an isochrone. There were 2000 points for each isochrone and we had like 1000s of map markers. I simply picked every 200th point from the isochrone polygon and works re

I wish more people could understand this. Yes, LLMs help me learn faster, brainstorm ideas and so on, but to say that it can generate code and hence you can do complex things easily does not make sense. For me, writing code has never ever b

My personal daily experience with this! I first used vertexai APIs because that's what they suggested, that Gemini APIs are not for production use. Then there comes the Google.generativeai. I don't remember the reason but they wer

I got really excited to play a custom card game with my friends who are spread across the world. Was looking to see how I can add my own game, but when I downloaded the app to try out some sample games, I see that all the players have to be

This isn't true at all for OWNERS files. If you try developing a small feature on google search, it will require plumbing data through at least four to five layers and there is a different set of OWNERS for each layer. You'll spen

Humanity has come so far and I'm sure it's possible to do it. I'm not saying wealth and power are bad. The ways of getting them are what's causing this. If you can become a billionaire by focussing on starvation, that co

I guess it's mostly a matter of what framework the society put in place. We incentivise economical achievements, optimisations, tech. The common theme is making wealth. As long as that's the case, you can't expect these probl

My pixel 4a 5g works like a charm. 3.5 years and still going fine. I used my pixel 2 for three years so badly. I used it as a hotspot every single day and the number of battery cycles were as if the phone was used for 6 years. My pixel 4a5g

I suppose it's an over-arching policy created that makes it easier to mandate. If not, Google would have to say - you can enter some stuff into chatbots, but not sensitive stuff. Then it would have to classify sensitive and non-sensiti

Unfortunately that's true. I think he companies can ask interesting questions that are not in leetcode, but it's basically a game where the companies make up new questions and they get added to leetcode. I don't think any com

I hear you and share the sentiment (for the most part). I don't understand what's with leetcode. Granted it's not the best for way to judge the capabilities of a programmer, but then what is? A design round can be gamed as mu

That's all not programming. I absolutely hate the corporate working style. The programming part in itself is always interesting to me, because regardless of who sets the constraints (me in a hobby project or the leadership in a company

I don't think anyone has ever explored an alternative here. Transistors came out of exploratory research that Bell Labs funded and as the other comments say, this indeed happened very recently! I suppose the silicon industry and the di

An excellent overview! I always dreaded learning this and your post seems to be a nice way to digest the content! This is probably going to get me to dive deep into some hardcore c/c++ work :) One small copy correction: In the linker (

I don't know the mechanism behind this. Coconut is accentuating the sinus infection in my case? My situation (deviated septum) makes me allergic to coconut water?

by sawyna 3y ago
I used to have pretty bad sinus. I used to take antibiotics for 10 days a month and would be good for 20 days and this goes on each month. After 6 months, my immunity has gone to shit. The doctor recommended clearing out my sinus by a surge

Funny enough I have been dealing with this situation at work exactly right now. It is insanely annoying to be in such an environment. Obviously, I'm the odd man out for saying a project can be done by 1-2 engs in a month. This said pro

Another googler here. I don't enjoy the work at Google as much due to bureaucracy, pace of work and politics. I previously worked at a startup and there is a stark difference in the work culture and environment. I'm working with t

What if this quadrant of people are managers? That's the situation I'm in - my sister team's leadership is nice but don't want to work. They lack the skills but want the projects, and do get them because they are nice. I

I'd be the same. There are so many things to do, so many new experiences to feel. If I ever get retired, I'd just go back to university and start from scratch in a completely complementary field that I worked all my life so far.

Maybe a very basic question, but why does FDIC say it costs them 20B$ ? The assets are higher than deposits, can they not sell off all assets and cover the deposits?

I'm pretty much the same. I don't find significant productivity gains from using it - maybe because I have a specific way of doing things already. For instance, I know it's better for me to understand React/whatever fram
