What is the basic mechanic that is going on here? Searching the document then using it with one shot or multi-shot prompting?

What exactly isn't pretty about vim (specifically gVim) on Windows?

True. But, open-source projects are in a bit of a pickle when it comes to tools. People always cry out for "professionalism" which I think is nonsense. In a "professional" environm…

As someone who has shipped both Erlang and Go in production, I feel I can somewhat answer this. Teams. Go does "teams" better. Shipping an Erlang app to production was simultaneous…

Thank you. I have long wanted to speak to someone who admits to doing this type of thing as it is very hard for me to understand. I realize it might be painful to relive a bit, but…

That is exactly what I thought. "Stream" is the subject line. You mail to a group on some sort of listserve, which gives you a long-term history and a URL to give new people. This …

If you have an old version of "Source Code Pro" on your computer, it will WRECK that page in a lot of fun and interesting ways. You can either remove "Source Code Pro" from your bo…

OK -- replace "close relationships to" to "have emailed kibwen at his gmail address to get on a list". If I could go back and edit I would -- but it has been too long.

Rust core team has taken the approach of breakage without major version increments being acceptable as long as they deem the breakage "minor" (based on crates.io and companies they…

That seems... less good honestly, but gotta start some where I guess. Friends-network effect should grow weaker with time (or at first big drama blowup).

Interesting, how was the mod team picked? I think it is a good check to have it be separate from the Rust team (assuming it wasn't picked by and answers to the Rust team).

Indeed, I believe they share tips.

It is a point, just a very "sad point" on top of a long series of nonsense ones. Open offices are AWFUL, but so is that article. Just because I agree with the underlying point does…

Yeah, generally ANC (Active Noise Cancellation) headphones can help. IEMs that block sounds are even better than ANC headphones.

Focus on noise isolation. Using ER-4P ( https://www.etymotic.com/consumer/earphones/er4.html ) with triple-flange tips is about the best you can get. Better even than $1000+ custom…

I HATE open offices, but man is this article full of absolute nonsense. I mean that in a very literal way -- it has lots of stuff that can not be made sense of because it lacks con…

What makes you believe that? 1,000+ user channels are common on Freenode.

Go 1.5 can call C and be called from C. So you can write a Go function to extend your C app.

I agree. Also, maybe Rust-the-community isn't ready to honor promises ( http://blog.rust-lang.org/2014/10/30/Stability.html ) it makes, which is critical for enterprise adoption. T…
