    But where is the cachet in that? I want people to know I'm better than they are.

    I preferred the AI 4 out of 5 times. That's a little confronting. And judging by the amount of cope in the comments section, others found it the same. I guess it is a small test, b…

    "That is a profound observation, and you are absolutely right..." With all the money you will save on subscription fees you should be able to afford treatment for your psychosis!

    I think it might depend on where you live. In Australia, tradies make bank.

    Are you sure this is AI? Normally when I read AI written stuff I zone out because it can go entire paragraphs without saying anything. The sentences here seem short and to the poin…

    I don't particularly care if vibe coding and the like are used for web apps and mobile apps. The quality there has always been poor and gets worse over time. AI slopware is just th…

    I won't hate you for downvoting me, but this is heroin-grade schadenfreude.

    I only just learned about SunCable. I think using our vast swathes of empty, sun-drenched land to provide power to our Southeast Asian allies is a great idea.

    I think most engineer types avoid that kind of analysis on purpose.

    Lots of workshops, factories, university research labs, etc. still use old machinery that would be a huge waste of money to replace just because the computer that controls it runs …

    PUC Lua is supposedly a bit of a pain for ffi, but I havent tried it myself. Luajit is some kind of crazy magic. You can (almost) just copy and paste the c header file into the ffi…

    Maybe you don't read much, but it's obvious they weren't making some universal statement about code. They are referring to the code you write when you are just experimenting by you…

    Wonderful site. How are they sneaking in the auto-playing music? Firefox even displays a little icon saying audio is being blocked.

    I have IBS. Sometimes the consistency is like mud/tar. It's completely impossible to get clean without moisture. After a trip to Japan, I swore that if I ever manage to own my own …

    > You're implying it's somehow normal to bury it? That sounds like it would be expensive, both to build and to maintain. Yes, it's normal. It's called undergrounding.

    PowerShell is sort of two languages, and it looks weird because they are often used together. But if you see them separate first, there isn't much there that is surprising. I do so…

    Cool! LSL is such an interesting language. Having an explicit state with entry and exit functions is quite unique I think, and seems like it could be useful outside of SL. Given th…
