I liked it. It has a similar feel to an Andy Weir "The martian" type of novel.

I completed a CS degree just a year ago, and they absolutely wrecked us with UML. I’m still recovering mentally.

I can't say I relate at all (5 years of experience). They'll have to pry my 1000-line .zshrc from my cold, dead hands. For example, zsh-autosuggestions improves my quality of life …

A better analogy: imagine if someone built a public water fountain, then chess.com set up next to it selling the exact same water for $100/year while limiting the public fountain t…

Chess.com is fundamentally a scam operation masquerading as a premium service. They've built an empire by paywalking features that should be free - and ARE free elsewhere. Lichess …

Yeah, it’s textbook USdefaultism. "Look how global we are… as long as you have a U.S. address, the correct passport, a bank account in a supported country, a smartphone with the co…

There is a nice native app for offline lichess puzzles. Written in rust: https://github.com/brianch/offline-chess-puzzles/

Yeah exactly forcing it out of a "local minimum" is a neat way to describe it. In the middle of the conversation I drop this sometimes. Works wonders. You just have to tell it it's…

AFAIK you need a username to be able to extract anything from instagram at all.
