    How dare those nasty, dirty, unemployed live their lives under likely desperate circumstance. They are so much worse than corrupt oligarchs pumping and dumping their way into the g…

    All the extra steps serve as some type of verification + data collection. The devs know how to make the experience better, but they get paid to implement some mbas mining scheme. T…

    `use-package` has pretty much simplified everything: ;; c (use-package c-mode :ensure nil :defer t :mode "\\.cu?\\'" :config (setq c-default-style "gnu" c-basic-offset 2) :hook ((c…

    There's a bit more nuance here than 'basic errors', and modern c compilers offer a lot of options _if you need to use them_. I appreciate that there are guardrails in a tool like r…

    Emacs has had multiple llm integration packages available for quite awhile (relative to the rise of llms). `gptel` supports multiple providers including anthropic, openai, ollama, …

    The majority of vmware customers could get by with qemu/kvm + pacemaker/corosync, but that requires hiring people who can read a manpage.

    I've generally chosen a new (to me) or spartan lang to challenge myself, but this year I'm going easy mode with python and just focusing on meeting the requirement.

    You might consider using a templating system similar to `yasnippet` to expand abbreviations. https://github.com/joaotavora/yasnippet

    Quantized 6-8b models run well on consumer GPUs. My concern would be vram limits given you'll likely be expecting the card to do compute _and_ graphics. Without a GPU I think it wi…
