There are so many bold claims in this article. I think this deserves taking with a grain of salt.

What if the new release which contains the fixes has new dependencies and those also have new dependencies? I assume they have to Frankenstein packages sometimes to maintain the bo…

I'm some ways I'd argue the UI of darktable is ahead of its time and fairly snazzy. It's just a much more sophisticated tool. What is one thing about the UI that specifically feels…

"has me on antidepressants, anti-anxiety meds, and mood stabilizers" Have you considered getting a second opinion on your meds? That sounds like a lot if that's 3 separate medicati…

No, nothing exists in a vacuum.

Why is that? I also used to hold this opinion, but we use it for 99% of our production deployments (or k8s where we need it) and it has been maximally reliable, and super convenien…

Looks really cool. I like the style :P I hope it takes off! I noticed it's a bit slow after clicking the title of a thread, unlike HN which is a bit more instantaneous. It wouldn't…

Very cool. I was thinking about something similar. In response to those saying it is not in the true spirit of Zettelkasten, that's probably fair, but this could easily incorporate…

How can you maintain that much stashed code between commits? I assume you refer to it and manually code using the "mess" as inspo? I don't know stash works much deeper than stashin…

Huh I must have just got in on time as I set up a local account about 12 hours ago following a tutorial.

Would it not be more direct to do gas exchange with blood?

This is interesting, and I'll try to remember to give this a go next time I'm tempted to patch something from the standard library, but... The README mentions 3 scenarios that this…

I wasn't planning to renew so soon. Then they dropped this bombshell and I impulse bought another 12 months subscription. So far I'm digging it and looking forward to composing som…

I'm interested in computers. What's the point of meadows without computers.

How would you go about making it more secure but still getting to have your cake too? Off the top my head, could you: a) only ingest text that can be OCRd or somehow determine if i…

This has been my experience as well, but there are plenty of assertions here that are not always true, e.g. "AI coding tools are sophisticated enough (they are not) to fix issues i…

I really like the idea of seeking a no (e.g. let me know if I shouldn't go ahead) but as soon as I add something like, "I will do this on this date, unless I hear otherwise", is a …

If those 4 aspects are used to judge whether "fair use", I'd say that's the nail in the coffin, because of course it isn't fair use and that's totally fair. Here I was thinking "tr…

Yeah absolutely taking artificial sweetener can't cause a glucose spike itself (no glucose or minimal amount to be derived), but maybe it could contribute to spikier glucose in gen…

When I researched it in the past I thought that multiple studies corroborated that while blood sugar doesn't increase from drinking artificially sweetened drinks that people who dr…

There's just no way I buy that I could safely make a change in a 100 loc function and know that there won't be an impact 30 lines down, where with a few additional function you can…

What's the alternative in front-end? I had assumed those things were needed to essentially reverse engineer the web to be more reactive and stateful? Genuinely want it to be simple…

Oh right. Yes, I agree that motivated individuals get the work done for themselves and others. It's just that some people don't acknowledge that we collectively own problems/soluti…

No. Everyone, instead of the affected person being blamed. Of course there are those in ivory towers doing a lot of waffling but the structural/societal view is always more product…

Is this a well studied topic I can research or just a guess?
