TL,DR: No, unless you're doing it so hard that you're straining your joints. But don't crack your neck.

Recently stumbled across a YouTube channel (no affiliation) where a guy is documenting his process of building a working physical replica of Space Cadet Pinball. I found the proces…

This isn't quantized, right? Just a smaller context?

Must ensure that this quote is present whenever Cromwell's Rule is mentioned - "I beseech you, in the bowels of Christ, think it possible that you may be mistaken."

You dropped your "/s".

I use Conductor pretty much exclusively and it makes it incredibly easy to try different models, even within the same workspace - definitely recommend giving it a shot. Whenever I'…

This sounds fascinating, are you documenting this in any public way for those of us that are inevitably curious on the details?

What a brilliantly written piece. Maintaining one's integrity is unfortunately rare enough that it makes Watterson's story so remarkable. I completely respect and admire his dedica…

Exactly. LLMs at their core are just fancy autocomplete. Extremely fancy, to be sure, and the output that they predict can be very useful - but people who anthropomorphize them or …

These blog posts are fascinating to read. I don't have a personal blog, but if I did I'm sure I would've written a very similar post as I've been wrestling with similar thoughts ov…

I'm genuinely curious as to what the key differences are (especially those that would cause someone to switch), as someone who is pretty tech savvy but whose use of Linux as a dail…

What made you switch from Pop OS? I just installed it on a couple of old PCs I had lying around for my kids to play around with/learn from.

Surely there's gotta be a better term for this. Recency bias?

Fellow SourceTree apologist here. It remains one of the first things I install on a new machine. I'll do simple stuff directly in the CLI, but stick with SourceTree for anything mo…

FWIW, this is what I wound up with - keeps the original branch name but ensures that it's based on the latest from the "dev" branch: orig_branch=$(git branch --show-current) && git…

Ah, excellent - appreciate the help! I'm already getting a ton of value out of this tool, thanks for sharing!

At the moment it's mostly Cursor or VS Code, but I was actually thinking of SourceTree. I'd like to look at the pending changes and manage the commits myself, and I could do that i…

This is awesome. A couple of suggestions: - It'd be great to change the default branch used for creating new workspaces. - I'd like the ability to add custom tools to the "Open in.…

And if you're one of today's lucky 10,000 and haven't heard of the concept of "lucky 10,000", you can read the relevant XKCD here: https://xkcd.com/1053/

For me, it's the fact that content generated by an LLM is fundamentally different than content that comes directly from a search index, but displaying them alongside each other con…

That's a big part of what makes this game enjoyable - a clue that is very obvious to one person might not even cross the mind of someone else. To anyone reading this who hasn't pla…

Great short story. Several times while reading it, I wished that I could download Abelique on the app store and try it out - I guess I'll have to settle for picking up my sketchboo…

Apple recently "pulled the plug" on their car project, apparently. https://www.npr.org/2024/02/27/1234315814/apple-cancels-elec...

Was out to dinner with the family, and my kids were enthralled with the "word search" that was on the kid's menu. I thought it'd be cool to build a custom word search generator - g…

Was watching CNN around 6AM EDT, they had a reporter on scene who mentioned wind "whipping across" the harbor. This was in reference to the potential survivability of the freezing …
