Ya this has been my sentiment. If i need to one-off a quick script that does some processing on data, it’s nice to offload that so i can focus on pieces of my code that are more important and interesting to me. The context switching cost is

Ya i thought this as well… seems like a bad idea. I get that most ppl keep their phone number. Maybe better to let ppl just use their number than everyone creating an account? Idk.. But now i think of it… how does Visa and MC do it? Cuz i d

It makes me really happy when companies continue to fuck up and enshitify their software because it adds more ppl to the Linux/FOSS evosystem. I have a MBP and I love it dearly (the hardware, macOS is fine), but Apple has been disappoi

Maybe. Do you forget that people use to not have phones or social media and they still had independent thought? Just because kids aren’t introduced to videos and comments about politics at a young age, doesn’t mean they’re going to be brain

What was the major feature? The complete uselessness of “AI” on macOS? I updated and enabled all the AI features and I would ask Siri from my M1 and it failed every time. Would just continuously try with its annoying ping sound and never wo

It absolutely does not matter what language this tool is written in. That goes for any tool. If it’s better, use it. In this case, fd is far superior to “find” in almost every way. Sane defaults, wayyy faster, easy options (just use cht.sh

How is the latency with these devices? I produce music as a hobby and have many connections to deal with and as low latency as possible is ideal. I am looking for something I can switch between 3 different devices basically. Work laptop, Ma

Curious, how deep does the DIY go? I am curious what tools you currently leverage to support your tool? For example, instead of using ripgrep, did you create your own easy-grep program? Or anything in that similar vein? Just curious of anyt

It happens to me every time I plug in my iPhone 14 Pro into my 2014 Toyota Corolla. (Doesn’t haven’t Apple CarPlay by default). So as others have said it’s likely because the car. If I were to replace my stereo unit with one that supports

I would love this same exact thing. I have not found any source that doesn't have vocals. I produce on the side as a hobby and one of my goal albums is to create something like this. 1-2hrs of a mix style album that is upbeat with no v

i appreciate you sharing this. ofc, it's only one anecdotal piece of evidence, but i have been a bit torn about my use of cannabis at times. i sometimes feel it maybe helps, but i wonder if that's just the short term side effects

im extremely biased, since its my daily driver for everything, but i think Linux is the better way to go. maybe a little awkward at first if you're fully embedded in the Google eco, but can still use most google products via browser, a

Wow. Ya this is great. Any dotfiles to skim through? I am a Doom Emacser myself, slowly learning the elisp flow to make my own config, and this seems like something I could chew on. :)

I assume your kids are somewhat young, and probably not going to be an ideal audience, but are you able to watch it with them? I know Feynman is known for his traceability, so maybe your kids will be entranced :)

Ya pretty sure using copilot only applies to personal projects. To my knowledge, you can’t use LLM’s while coding at work due to CCI. However, there are plugins to use LLM’s while coding with Neovim and Emacs, so, you can still use these ed

Do you know this for certain? As in, have you done the analysis to prove this? Collected all the IQ and other aptitude tests of these people to conclude this for certain? Some of them could be in the beginning part of their government caree
