> I find these days I prefer to write using a cheap mechanical pencil I know this is contrary to your advice but mechanical pencil, get a Kuru Toga, it's a really nice improvement …

>Fun fact! Lime putty is anti-mold even in humid conditions because upon exposure to moisture, CaOH2 + H20 becomes too basic for mold to grow on. Can we use this instead of grout i…

>(Apparently that particular department was the wrong one, to ask a question like that!) Yes, the math department. In any case linear algebra, stochastics, calculus; plenty of engi…

Garmin pay if you're ok with Garmin is one possibility.

>There is something deeply disturbing in it that makes me feel I'm not talking to a self sufficient entity. It makes you feel that way because it is that way. They're not self-suff…

So it's not just me. I'm glad, I feel weird that I have to save links to every Google doc and every internal confluence page because there's no proper search across these. Especial…

>The mobile era started just as Dropbox started to solve a computer era problem. I still can't wrap my head around how people find their files in the non-filesystem world. Whenever…

Jagged Alliance 2 wasn't really as much a stealth game but had a lot of the same kind of tactical thinking to it that I liked in Commandos.

>so heavily RL'd with grep At least codex listens to me telling it to use rg instead of grep, cause grep is often so slow. But when adding rtk it uses grep through rtk which is kin…

Also the question remains if more CVE laden code was produced in the first place, instead of automated detection improvements. It's easier to find a needle in the haystack if the h…

What were your syntax stumbling blocks? I must be honest I've used jq enough but can never remember the syntax. It's one of the worst things about jq IMO (not the speed, even thoug…

Replying here because the other comment is too deeply nested to reply. Even if it's once off, some people handle a lot of once-offs, that's exactly where you need good CLI tooling …

In Germany I'd say you still make more with white collar, if you have a job. The problem for Gen Z though, is that they aren't hiring for junior positions. Still if you go blue col…

>They're not generic but they do the job, so if you have a bottleneck, you can solve it. But that's the thing, in other languages you don't need a workaround to work on primitives …

They added the service unavailable feature.

The problem is rather that Java doesn't have generics and structs, so you're kind of forced to box things or can't use collections.

Nice. My test was always a blond bald guy. It always adds hair. If you ask for bald you get a dark haired bald guy, if you add blond, you can't get bald because I guess saying the …

Not unlikely that you're talking to a lot of AI-based AI boosters. It's easier to create astroturfed comments with chatbots than fixing the inherent problems.

I'd add to this, any moderately involved logical or numerical problem causes hallucinations for me on all frontier models. If you ask them in isolation they may write a script to s…

>I definitely agree that in principle a computer can drive with cameras alone. Obvious things first, cameras have way worse contrast and low light sensitivity than human eyes. Huma…

Exactly, you would probably also pay for a good one. I tried maybe 10 and gave up. I now carry a small booklet where you can rip off the pages, for notes and todos. Still way bette…

Which is not getting better. I'd pay you 10€ for a TODO app that improved my life meaningfully. It would obviously need to have great UX and be stable. Those are table stakes. I do…

I think the problem is lot's of people here don't have much kitchen experience and underestimate the effect. But anyway, I think a pre-seasoned vegan ready made burger patty should…

Thanks, so the squasher is all I need I guess
