I think they mean the "just" in "Do you just want to host repositories?", implying that it's never "just" hosting repositories, and the needs will continue to grow beyond what the simple solution offers.

I've had them all my life. I remember watching a some video a few years back that said they're more noticeable against a bright/white background, which checked out with my past experiences. And judging by your skiing comment,

I surprisingly had good results when I told the LLM to only communicate in ASCII memes. It did a fantastic job of summarizing the situation using relevant memes, and the humor was enough to keep things fresh. As silly as it sounds, it'

I think the parent comment is snark. They're saying that since many Firefox users are saying "Let me turn off AI features, please!" for features they don't want at all, and few to no Firefox users are saying "Let me

I've seen my cats pull on a cord in order to reel in the toy at the end. I don't find that to be all too different from the cow orienting a scratcher. Should I?

For what it's worth, it happens to me about 5 times each summer. But I also welcome spiders as pest control, so it's not a surprise, and I forget all about it 5 seconds later.

I wouldn't call ChatGPT "brand recognition". People know the term ChatGPT, but I don't think they associate it with OpenAI or any company in particular, in the same way that people might associate Civic with Honda. Ins

That's all true, but I think the article's point still stands: React trades one set of compromises for another, and regardless of the tool used, software engineers using that tool have to do a lot of lifting to get the tool to wor

It depends a lot on the rate of change of the document. Documents that experience little change don't need classes because their structure is reliable. Documents that change often have unreliable structures, and will require frequent u

Happy to give you my spin on this. I use Vue, but in personal projects I mix Vue and vanilla JS according to page complexity. On pages that need more state management and would benefit from orderly code (such as the Options API for Vue), I

Seems the opposite way round to me. We couldn't conclusively say that AGI is possible in principle until some physics (or rather biology) discovery explains how it would be possible. Until then, anything we engineer is an approximation

A large part of it is that we maxed out a lot of how communication tech can impact daily life, at least in terms of communication, but economically and culturally got in the habit of looking for new and exciting improvements to daily life.

I agree that the quality went down, but I think it might be part of their strategy. I think when they first started, they tried the HBO strategy of putting big money into big shows that try to win over broad audiences. But over time shifted

My understanding is that this isn't Netflix's fault. They were king when they were the first major streaming service, and studios and networks were happy to get extra income from hosting their content on Netflix. But Netflix knew

Thanks for sharing the link, I hadn't seen that before! Very serious allegations there. > Calling in the guard is not overreach when a city is demanding it through inaction. Is the city calling for protection, though? There's a

What's your take on the article saying that D.C.'s crime rate is at a 30 year low? Do you feel that things in big cities are so bad that an overreach of powers is justified in an attempt to fix it?

It wasn't a criticism of what they were saying (a point on which I agree with that poster), but whether the comment itself was contributing to the discussion or not. It was a very low-effort comment that offered no reflection on what t

Downvoted as this comment feels like it's trying to be witty/upshowing the parent comment without actually engaging with it or offering anything of substance. If the comment was along the lines of "yes, but we've also do

The thing about facebook/twitter/etc was that everyone knew how they achieve lock-in and build a moat (network effect), but the question was around where to source revenue. With LLMs, we know what the revenue source is (subscripti

Hammering can get loud. But not louder than any motorized tool. And hammering being limited by the energy capacity of flesh and blood doesn't last for long bursts, maybe a few minutes at a time. In contrast, motorized tools let out an

The comment was not aimed at the carpenter. Nothing he was doing was loud, and nothing I've experienced with carpenters gives me the impression that they are loud or obnoxious. He was doing a great job. If he took what I said as a dig

I've never seen a carpenter use a lawnmower on the job. Seems unwieldy to drag up a ladder. On a more serious note, most carpentry tools aren't that bad in terms of noise. They can get loud, but they tend to be momentary, getting

I live next door to a summer camp. The kind that has kids from the nearby city come for 2 weeks, sleep in bunks, play outside all day, hike, etc. A few months ago we had a carpenter doing some work on the house, and he was asking me about t
