    What’s everyone’s opinion on learning new tech things in this day and age? My opinion swings between positive and depressing vision of the future. I still learn new stuff, but I’m …

    It takes years to test it thoroughly in real environments. You don't want your data to be silently corrupted.

    What's the reason for it? Does not make a lot of sense to keep all the commits elsewhere

    Regexes are pretty slow, though.

    Unfortunately, simple URL parsing breaks on so many things. There is a reason on why every URL parsing library is at least a few thousand LOCs. One common way to test it is just to…

    You can do this using fn button, without moving your hand every time you need to press them. It's very convenient, when your hand don't move at all and can reach every button.

    Why do you need screenshot button for programming? How many times do you press it? You can just use fn button for that. People are programming on a 36-key keyboards just fine and t…

    There are a lot of subtle bugs. I'm on macOS too, but perhaps my workflow is unusual? Every time I open it, I find small bugs. There are so many features that it's hard to maintain…

    This does not sound fun. It's better to work on your side projects with manual coding. You will learn more. Retyping things is inefficient for learning. It's like trying to retype …

    Of course they are. I'm not even a native speaker. I read the whole thing and it was my impression.

    It does not matter which prompt you use. Even a long article with a small input (of what to write) will include weird details and structure. People tried to fool Pangram by using c…

    It will, there is no doubt. But look at the first paragraph of the article: > The writing was on the wall, and now the writing is everywhere. Literally. Artificial Intelligence is …

    That's true, but I can still tell if a big article was mostly written by AI. The author talks about writing cheap stories, but right now, you can't do this. Cheap stories are prett…

    The model is already up on Opencode, but they require a consent to use Chinese datacenters.

    This is a well-known author, but how come he thinks AI is better at writing? AI writing makes me vomit. Also, I think he's too enthusiastic about the future of readers. In my opini…

    I do Python, Go and Rust. Go works the best, I would say Python is worse than Go. Rust works perfectly fine, but when I use Rust, I usually pay closer attention to performance, so …

    I've been driving flash model for 90% of my tasks. It's better than pro (for unknown reasons), very cheap and fast. I try to keep changes under 1000 lines and drive architectural d…

    There is PR somewhere in the mosh repo to support block cursor. Just build it manually. Mosh is abandoned, unfortunately.

    Substack gives a really nice exposure though, unlike medium and other platforms. It's very hard to gain readers now on independent websites. Google search is dead (very few people …

    I think at this point any attempt to prevent it will fail. AI code is almost everywhere, even in projects that were against it 6 months ago.
