I fondly remember playing games typed out from books and magazines when I was younger - although I usually tricked my little brother into typing out the game so we could both play it. Jokes on me though, since now he can type at over 100 wp

I have found myself using "decent" frequently (especially in code comments) for situations that are technically ok, but far from perfect. "Passable" is my go to for just below that. Sometimes it's also interesting h

I have this workflow with the ytdl-sub docker on my k8 cluster, is pretty powerful at filtering to specific videos and includes sponsorblock - everything is configuration driven, no ui, which can just be dropped into a yaml configmap I rare

While not at the same level as any large service, I typically spin off a 720p copy of any media as a background process nightly. 720p is pretty small in comparison to 1080p or 4k source files. This way I have an immediate mobile friendly ve

I'd be careful equating heavy with quality - MDF is extremely heavy but not great for longevity.

I read it that smart people are more likely to try and figure out to outsmart a security system not to cheat but just to see if they can. In my experience at libraries and on college networks, that tracks.

This is the way - I just had chatgpt make me a personal use command line utility that just uses the API to mimic chatgpt with whatever model you pass in, saves the running chat as a text file, and gives you a running cost with every prompt.

I actually was racking my brain since I haven't seen any major nvidia callouts on my DNS block, but I use a 3090. Then I remembered I game in linux, on steam.

Although they've basically closed source it since release, Jetbrains Projector was a fantastic tool I've used a lot in the past for that - Just spin up a docker container on my home server and pull out my ipad keyboard https:&#x2

GPT-3 codex has a limit of 8k tokens, which is roughly 32k characters - so you are limited to that much context at a maximum. With the time it takes to return results with that much context, I wouldn't be suprised if they generally lim

Not to mention, in the paper, the lightvm only had an advantage on boot times. Menory usage was marginally worse than docker, even with the unikernel, and debian on lightvm was drastically worse for cpu usage than docker (the unikernel cpu

On Android, I've become a fan of Kiwi browser - It's a chromium fork that includes the ability to install chrome extensions on mobile. I've been able to keep the same extensions for ublock origin, bypass paywalls, and just re

I've actually stopped using third party delivery services all together - the food is routinely cold, there are hidden fees everywhere, drivers are severely underpaid, many times you can't even order from the full menu. Pizza and C

My experience with DALLE-2 and Copilot makes me think we are quite far off from AI being able to perform software dev on it's own. Both tools need a lot of oversight to pick out usable pieces from the gibberish that gets spit out most

It's an interesting premise. I found it interesting how after adding "Heir to the Empire" as a book, I saw several other Star Wars novels pop up in the suggestions. Hilariously, If I added books from a wide variety of genres

Another anecdote - We sold a house in late 2020, decided to get an offer through zillow first, since we had a newborn and staging would have been a hassle. Zillow lowballed us 10% under their zestimate, and still tacked on an 8% fee - we en

My great grandfather used to beat my grandfather - going as far as to stab him through the leg with a pitchfork on occasion. My grandfather, partly from trauma and partly from what I believe is hereditary mental illness, swung back the othe

I fully expect to make many mistakes as a parent, and there's a lot of things I could have done better. As a child though, many decisions my parents made were with the view of demonizing outside groups and "protecting" their

Those types of generalization have always been troublesome for me - While I admit I was an idiot as a kid, the respect I had for my parents has decreased even further the older I get. I understand more and more how harmful their behaviors w

I had a similar issue - I grew up listening to a radio or music or movie audio when I went to sleep. When I started sharing a bed with my wife, I switched to complete silence and had horrific insomnia for years - waking up at 1 or 2, and no

It appears the methodology is extremely blunt - there's no mention of adjustments for square footage, rooms, income, or any other variable, just the median household spend on renting vs house gross costs. Since most houses are larger t

For me, there are two reasons - First of all, it's a sense of enjoying to tinker, same as a lot of people do with Raspberry Pis or Arduinos. The challenge is partly why I'm a developer in the first place. Secondly, when storing la

Why not? There are even docker containers that will do everything for you, all you have to do is tag your application containers: https://github.com/JrCs/docker-letsencrypt-nginx-proxy-compa...
