No, but baking is still a process that requires skill — and that skill is not 'common sense'. If making sourdough were 'common sense' then _everyone could do it correctly on their …

Many companies have rules that confidential materials cannot be used as context with LLMs. These companies (usually rightly) don't trust that there is a sufficient firewall prevent…

My quality of life is increased by having more bike lanes so that I can get around _faster_ and _healthier_ than having to use my car. I'm also able to get where I want and need to…

The only way to stop congestion is to get cars off the road. Cars are the congestion. There is no other definition, and no other solution. HOW you get cars off the road is worthy o…

Mostly because people are pretending that it's abnormal to call out asinine behaviour. Like your bad take. Like the jackass who called my response "racism". These are threads full …

laughs in white person Dude. You can check out my GitHub Profile (it's the same as my HN handle). This isn't racism, this is calling out fact. EM takes credit for other peoples' ha…

Unsurprisingly, you're wrong and likely projecting. I don't hate Elon. I hate what shitty things he does. I do my best not to think about him, but then there are people who mindles…

I think that it's extremely healthy to have a hostile negative one of someone who has demonstrated repeatedly that they are assholes. - He threw a "roman" salute; this is incontrov…

Given that the egotistical maniac we're talking about is well known for lashing out at people who don't tell him what he wants to hear…I have no reason to trust primary or secondar…

I thought it was his actual rocket engineers known for landing rockets, where he's routinely kept out of the loop by having to make choices about the duck the queen is holding.

I find it easier to do when I bike to Costco _without_ my trailer. (I have two good sized panniers and can end up with ~$150 of foodstuffs packed well in them no problem. More ofte…

For one semester. Maybe two.

Back in the dark ages of the 80s when I was taking the SAT and ACT, these tests were considered good predictors for the first semester's performance. That's it. I did well on both …

No slight involved. The chezmoi integration with 1Password is excellent; for those who prefer Bitwarden, it supports both the default CLI (which has some inexcusable behaviours for…

Are there plans to support MacPorts as a packaging system? I only use Homebrew for casks, because I find it unreliable for core development tools.

I've bounced off Nix every time I tried it, before I even started trying something like Home Manager. I've been using (and contributing to) chezmoi for ~6 years now. Given that it …

You're not wrong, but let's not forget that some large number of scientists ( cough Werner von Braun cough ) were fleeing prosecution as Nazis.

Language doesn't work that way. Being prescriptivist about it doesn't change that language evolves. The time to have had this fight about "banned books" was 40 odd years ago, and y…

This has been called book banning for a very long time. Banned Books Week has existed since 1982. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banned_Books_Week I suspect that the same applies to…

Fescue grasses mostly flop over rather than stand tall. Most lawns in North America are Kentucky Blue or ryegrass which are what produce the eyesore. But lawns in general are a pes…

There's a fine line between large modifications to existing infrastructure and "new stuff". You need a handyman you can trust in order to know the difference. It also depends on yo…

Frankly, the Canadian government needs to come down on them for the misleading and untruthful message that they post when Facebook censors news links. It is past time that American…
