the problem I’ve found with these things is that models drift immediately. if it’s not a git commit hook that runs over docs and comments and commit messages objectively it’s proba…

Anecdotal, but putting in $10 and using it through codex, I blew through it in maybe 30 min to an hour of a light test drive and didn't get my little task done, which certainly did…

I'm just hearing about this attack on Checkmarx. We recently adopted it at work, and I find the thing to just produce garbage. I've never tuned out noise so quickly. you have to ap…

Those dependencies pretty quickly reveal themselves to be complicated and heavy. I wouldn’t blame Rust for that. I rarely need more than what workspaces and VCS based deps give me,…

How strange to come across someone whose medical stuff so mirrors my own. I was just a decade older and don’t have epilepsy symptoms with meds. I can get behind all the advice here…

I had one neighbor with the announcement thing but they eventually turned it off. No illusions that it’s not still recording. But how horribly hostile to have that on, right? No ac…

Though it doesn’t mention it by name exactly, I think a related idea for systems that are optimized close to a point of phase change is “the edge of chaos” https://en.m.wikipedia.o…

Or we’ll just leave them behind and that’s fine. And I work day maintaining old stuff of varying quality. Conceptually, software composting.

I agree. I think we can reasonably posit why given the source. Call it selective YIMBYism maybe?

There are thermostats, among other things, that use standard protocols and still work in a “dumb” way if not connected. You just need to do some homework.

As someone with damage to my visual cortex with a very specific effect I’m very curious what this would come up with for me. Not something useful on its own, but more understanding…

At least motorcycles have ABS and decent stopping power, though usually less than a car.

A lot of people see software as a list of features, hardware as a list of specs. But when you think about how much time we spend with these things, maybe they just aren’t that util…

I know it’s easy to throw stones from the outside, but Google’s results are so compromised it seems like it’s a good time to get back in. As one just example, I searched for a uniq…

I think people will bring their baggage with them ‘into their rich life’ as any major life change doesn’t really get you away from yourself. I certainly do okay staying lonely in a…

You can do approximately that with GitHub Copilot already: Write a comment and have Copilot write the function or what have you to match.

How is it annoying? To be fair, we’re fronting our gRPC service with a AWS LB that terminates TLS (so our gRPC is plaintext), so we don’t deal with certs as direct dependencies of …

I’m not sure what the significance of the length of loans is? Surely it’s the overall amount of interest that matters. I probably wouldn’t want to be paying a loan at the point I w…

Agree separating the interface and implementation is not a great idea. It seems like a decision that's designed to waste time (in copying definitions from one place to another, in …

As someone who is in the middle of pulling apart a BTRFS volume by hand (read: writing code to interpret the data structures) to try and recover it, I think being burnt enough is o…

I mean, they livestreamed the rollout on YouTube on the Edward’s AFB YouTube channel and said it was at NG’s Palmdale facility (paraphrasing). I’m not sure any of this was a secret…

I’ve done this with libclang: parsing C++ with clang.cindex in Python, walking the AST for structs with the right annotation, and generating code to serialize/deserialize. All inte…

Please don’t do whataboutism. Your comment divides and derails the conversation and assumes the worst of the people here who might have a problem with Elon’s behavior (that they al…

The “speed is safety” bit is probably a lot more obvious to motorcyclists but applies to everyone on the road, even if the situations are less likely. Imagine some road eager tries…
