I don't understand this. This post is saying that ChatGPT is good and is a forerunner because it provides a nice Mac App. In my opinion, not everything requires a native app. AI Chat assistants are completely fine to be used in the web

Can anyone please explain me the invisible watermarking mentioned in the said promo?

I agree. I use Bitwarden on my Samsung Android phone and also on my Linux desktop. Bitwarden currently supports passkeys on almost all the apps on my android including firefox. The same passkeys which i used to login on my phone can be used

> low-income someone has to pay for the servers at the end. are you asking for openai to subsidize ChatGPT Pro for low-income countries? Since OpenAI is for-profit entity focussed on profits, I don't think it might be a wise idea fi

Until the time when Microsoft realises this and creates a privileged API just for Microsoft Recall so that It can see the screen. Better switch to Linux. It's not perfect but I am sure that you will be fine using Linux(Unless you want

I would like to use tailwind css for styling but i also like components provided by these CSS frameworks. Basically a DaisyUI, but with looks of Bootstrap or Semantic-UI

by varbhat 1y ago
I don't like the way how Daisy UI looks. But, I do like the way how Bootstrap or Semantic-UI CSS frameworks look. Has anyone tried to recreate the components of Bootstrap or Semantic UI using Tailwind CSS (including the looks)?

vim keybinding. helix doesn't have vim keybindings. it might or might not be better but it isn't vim keybinding.

It's a soft fork trying to catch up with the main codebase. It feels like a second class citizen. Features introduced in Helix might not be intended for usage with vim keybindings anyway.

Congrats! I am happy for helix but i don't think it's a good fit for me. I use Neovim. It does what i want it to do. It's one of the best available options. But, i am not completely satisfied with it. I personally want an e

So, Hacker News was not rewritten in Common Lisp. Instead they reimplemented the Arc Runtime in Common Lisp.

Isn't that a huge effort? I remember few games which developed their own game engines from scratch (factorio, limbo, bg3). But, wouldn't it be easier and better to use game engines like godot?

I am not an expert here but I had a thought that JSON-Schema might be a good choice because since it's schema based, i can implement the validators in Non-Typescript languages too. https://ajv.js.org is one such JSON Schema

Best means that it's better than everything else which in this case is factually incorrect. I do think that X220 is a great laptop because despite its age, it still runs great. But, tbh, i don't think that it holds up well in term
