I would tend to agree in the case that someone is using LLMs as their primary source for learning. But I've found a lot of use in having a claude project containing the PDF of a te…

I think saying "nobody has the patience" is assuming that everyone is using agents for hours on end to do enormous tasks. I tend to prompt claude to do smaller, more contained task…

The great thing about Wikipedia is that anyone can participate. Anyone can advocate for change, such as changing the rules around notability. But if you want to have enough influen…

> Not to mention how I want to know how curl works, even if I don’t keep 100% intimate knowledge of every single angle and corner, I know most of it. I think it helps me make bette…

in my mind unfortunately this basically destroys KDE's viability as a gaming platform. SO many older games just do not work properly unless run under X11 (hell, some newer ones too…

nothing at all, because it's PR security theatre done out of desperation as their platform has been gradually revealed to be a machine that destroys children's lives

I work with C#/NuGet on windows every day and my experience is entirely the opposite. The build and dependency systems are an abysmal esoteric, poorly documented mix between csproj…

hahaha, I did the exact same thing after the game came out to see if wheel of fortune was really a 1/4 chance

for the longest time I never did this, but then I got a gigantic 4K screen, and I realized that it was almost giving me vertigo having apps like my IDE fullscreened, because I lite…

If your interests lie entirely or mostly in the realm of AAA or AA games that are playable with a controller, then I completely agree. However if your interests lie in indie games …

nooooooooooooooo god why. I loved uv. just why

clearly there's something I don't understand (or is the law just really this stupid?) - but what would this even look like for linux? every user account requires an associated age?…

The constant reference to "democracy" as the thing that makes us good and them bad is so frustrating to me because we are _barely_ a democracy. We are ruled by a two-party state. N…

wow this website is nigh unreadable on mobile

I think for a lot of people (me included) Discord isn't just a chat service like WhatsApp but more of a "home base" where you can hang out with all your friends, make new friends, …

this is very much a nitpick, but I wouldn't call throwing an exception in the constructor a good use of static typing. sure, it's using a separate type, but the guarantees are enfo…

FWIW, Rider has very good support for keybindings - I can't vouch for vim bindings directly but their emacs keybinding scheme is brilliant, IMO it's the next closest thing to worki…

I find personally that this is the biggest advantage of Rust for the kind of code I write. Memory safety is great and all, but an aggressive GC would do just fine for what I tend t…

that's not been my experience at all. I've found that Godot works exceptionally well with C#, and I've felt zero pressure to use GDScript. It integrates really well with Rider too,…

wow, this release looks really cool! this part especially: > With the new LibGodot, you can now embed the engine directly into your own applications. Instead of running Godot as a …

maybe I'm just dumb but a lot of these elements don't seem to work? the "..." buttons don't open any flyout, the dropdown doesn't open up... otherwise looks cool though

I think there's a consequence difference between the IDE being sure enough that a std::move is warranted to issue a lint, versus the compiler being 100% provably certain that inser…

I don't have many issues with wayland itself, the problem is that I frequently use software that doesn't support wayland or has buggy wayland support. In some instances, I can file…

> 11 one. 2025 is when it got real: we announced a formal end to Plasma’s X11 session in early 2027. Really hoping they delay this. I love KDE but this would force me to abandon it…

Having a job that requires Windows is not what I would call self-inflicted.
