    Somehow I'll miss you Google. I'll miss the simpler times. You were a fine search engine and gmail was pretty great too, at the time. I was really excited to get an invite. Good me…

    That's (IMO) too narrow view of what a "machine" is. Complex machinery of any kind never is 100% correct and needs constant correction and maintenance. I still think approaching th…

    Confining an LLM to the very narrow domain of "calculators" is a mistake, I think. You wouldn't say "a programmer that is 99% correct is worthless, I need 100%". I'm pushing it, bu…

    You think music theory is more demanding than CS? I've dedicated decades and probably 75% of my youth to mastering this instrument called a computing device. It has numerous layers…

    Making art is not "vastly more difficult" or at least it is (IMO) highly debatable. Some parts of it require decades of experience to do with any kind of excellence, yes. That's al…

    Why do you want to change? Regret anything? I don't know the first thing about you, so it's hard to say what is going to help. If you truly are a narcissist all bets are off, but p…

    It does not suck. The compile times are OK and are getting better. Angular (and other) SPAs have capabilities no RoR, ASP.NET or Django setup can even begin to touch. Separating th…

    He is not a developer. He fudges with scripts. Good luck bootcamping someone to engineer. Civil or otherwise.

    I find it interesting that somebody dedicates his or her life to figuring out how these CPUs work when exactly that information is just laying about in some vault in Santa Clara.

    Target the NES or SNES. Emulators are tiny and work on all platforms. Bundle one.

    Snakes don't phase me _at all_, no pulse change whatever. I don't care, never have. I'll happily enter a bath filled with them and stay there for hours. My baby boy doesn't care ab…

    An API backend + UI front-end consuming it is the perfect solution, it is the only sane thing I ever came across. Stop trying so hard to shoehorn old bullshit over it. It took us d…

    Become a developer, then you will understand. It is like asking why mechanics have a lot of tools around them.

    Try it. You will fail. It is way harder (to do it right) than anything you can imagine.

    No, I'm young-ish (33) and I agree. TUI's are just a very restricted type of GUI's. These restrictions make the devs focus on what is important, because there is literally no room …
