    that title might be easier to parse, but it's less poetic and less attention grabbing

    The video game Audiosurf[1] did this, as it has to generate the game track ahead of time so that it would be playable! [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audiosurf

    It's a good analysis but the AI slop writing makes me not trust you've reviewed this and I'm unable to finish or subscribe. I'm sure you're a great blogger but this is holding it b…

    love the concept and dont mind that ai wrote the code, but please consider rewriting the readme out of the AI style and cadence, it's a bit exhausting seeing ai writing everywhere.…

    Sorry, meant say that Blacksky is much more important than the metrics you point to, with more detail on that wiki. They're the first alternative full stack, the first alternative …

    Yes, I only open an IDE to run a debugger when needed. The vim support isn't exhaustive and it's jarring whenever a command doesn't work. This is about Vi though and that's certain…

    Yes, I agree. Everyone in ICE or supporting them.

    I disagree. Notable and impacting politics are often here and foster interesting discussions. Everything is political, and nowadays everything has relation to tech. ICE is being su…

    Why have you had to avoid the heap? Performance concerns?

    Different people have different levels of internal monologuing or none at all. I don't generally think with words in sentences in my head, but many people I know do.

    I've found better results when I treat LLMs like you would treat little kids. Don't tell them what NOT to do, tell them what TO do. Say "keep your hands at your side, it's hot" and…

    I liked it fwiw! Fun to play and solve. Thanks!

    did migrating to bazel require specialized expertise or were teams able to pick it up quickly?

    That's how I feel about keyboard tilts away from a full pronation/flat and towards a neutral position. Once I switched to having a rotated split keyboard, my forearms and wrists fe…

    Yes that's true they can roam outside, but roaming outside does not massively increase their chance of picking up bird flu. For the same reason that the main guidance during COVID …

    There was a price increase, but there was also an explicit elevation of Disney+ from a "Pressure Target" to a "Priority Target" of the BDS movement last December.[1] I know anecdot…

    That's true when you're talking about foxes and wolves, but not if you're talking about an airborne flu. Rows of adjacent cages keeping groups of chickens in close proximity with e…

    Ah I don't run any LSPs so that's fair. Retaining positions, buffers, and edit history between sessions is all straightforward in vanilla vim though. Unless you run an autolinter o…

    That's true for me too but usually my tabs and windows are managed one level higher, by the terminal emulator, or I'm opening vim with -o/-O to open a split window directly.

    It's certainly a real term. The context is often student athletes that intentionally didn't play their sport for a season (called redshirting) to maintain their 4-year eligibility …

    What editor state are you losing when you leave vim? I run a pretty light vanilla vimrc (60 lines maybe) and with two lines you can enable vim undofiles and returning the cursor to…

    I'm curious why you have your post set to be posted on 2025-06-24 instead today? Is that to maintain a post schedule?
