Sure, take that stricter immigration control. But if people assume upfront that immigrants are intrinsically the source of problems and it takes stricter and stricter controls to filter them down to only those that bring value, this strengt

Maybe I missed something, but if DATA is given as an array at runtime, is there a way to put it into the type system? And if the result is in type system, is there a way to print it out at runtime without looping through all permutations of

Oh god, I feel sorry for these employees. It’s so disgusting and inhumane to just think about somebody being forced to smile and judged by how good they do that, by a machine!

I think what it meant is that, in the social networks today, you have to behave “consistently” all the time. If you wrote something today and then say the opposite tomorrow, people online would probably attack you for being untrustworthy or

Lol, typical Chinese propaganda speech I'd say. But just to be fair, > he led his team to fight for a thousand years The page you linked to actually said "more than a thousand days and nights", not years.

Even the post isn't using /dev/tcp, but compiled a C file into bash "loadable builtin" (which is something I learned today). It still feels kind of cheating to me tbh.. But cool enough!

The very first time in life that I reported a bug to an OSS project was to Vim, by email to Bram, when I was in high school. Thinking back from now, that was definitely not a good way to report bugs, but Bram was super helpful and responded

Because people too often jump to conclusions on hearing yes/no, imo. Not trying to defend the corporate speak though, obviously they should have put the yes/no up front and then try to explain later.

One thing I learned recently is that, the more you pursue a dream, the more you realize that people are not born equal. That resonated so much with my past failures, and now I kind of understand what this article is talking about. That bein

I guess it’s because we still cannot clearly explain how all those nuances are parsed by the LLM and reflected in the output? For something you can’t thoroughly explain which yet works quite well, it’s clearly hard to believe.

I understand the excitement feeling of using something like this to greatly reduce the learning effort. Before GPT/ChatGPT, it was definitely frustrating to "bootstrap" your knowledge in any new area where you don't have

Language is a major factor, yes. Another factor I think is whether you come from a “welcomed” country. Under the current chaotic world order, it’s not hard to come up with a few countries that are not welcomed almost anywhere (Disclaimer: I

I think I observed this problem recently too, but with Japanese file names. Basically I had a Git repository and didn’t know about `git config core.precomposeUnicode`. And when the repository is synchronized to a Linux system, on the Linux

IP addresses can be lied about, but reverse DNS still needs your ownership of those IP addresses if I understand it correctly. One would need the provider of those IP addresses to setup PTR records for them.

Exactly. Git felt totally intuitive to me when I started using it as a teenager (with no background on SVN et al. of course), and most colleagues I've met so far also rarely had troubles using it. The latter is probably because I inten

The split of Vim and NeoVim was actually one of the reasons why I chose to switch to Emacs 2 years ago, after sticking with Vim for ~15 years. Vim was great but the script language had always been too hard for me. NeoVim was getting a lot o

Ten years ago I was trying to get a job in Google as hard as I could, but these years there are just less and less reasons to even consider applying. I mean, OK, their business model is built around advertisement, but seriously?

Definitely. I actually installed `bat` a few years ago and then forgot about it immediately. `diff-so-fancy` was pretty nice, but then I started using Emacs and then Magit ruled 'em all... `htop` is still great to have though.
