You’ve just explained my own thoughts better than I ever have been able to, especially what with the political minefield that is literally anything mentioned in your post. Brillian…

Well, every shell has its quirks and gotchas. I’ve found nushell’s to be the least intrusive and most workable thus far.

With external commands you might have to collect the output of the program before doing any sort of manipulation. I’ve been got by this before too; the fix is simple (for me at lea…

If you like Powershell but have some complaints, you might find nushell to be the best of both worlds. My elevator pitch for it would be imagine the object-oriented / typed nature …

I would agree. That’s exactly what the example I gave (list-to-tree) does. LLMs are actually pretty OK at writing regexes, but for long word lists with prefix/suffix combinations t…

I think they would want a more optimized regex. Like a long list of swears, merged down into one pattern separated by tunnel characters, and with all common prefixes / suffixes com…

Anecdotal but I have found that at least some times, rideshare drivers are willing to take cash for rides under some circumstances. Not at all common though, most of the time I hav…

If you don’t mind me asking, how were you able to immigrate there? I have family that lives in Norway on my father’s side and I’ve sometimes fantasized about packing up my life and…

Music festivals or similarly congested public events would be good use cases

I would say that IOS AdBlocking is significantly less effective than that which you’d expect from a Desktop adblocker (and presumably android, so I’ve heard— can only speak for iOS…

I agree with you. When I was younger, I played a lot of Minecraft PVP servers, and for whatever reason these PVP servers cultivated a weird and toxic community of cyber criminals a…

Love the idea. I’m always finding myself writing little user scripts / browser extensions to extend websites I use all the time, and trying to use an API I found in the devtools ne…

3 ways to declare functions? I am probably blanking but I can only think of: ``` function foo () {} const foo = () => {} ```

Perhaps it could be misaligned incentives? The primary variable YT optimizes for is time spent on the platform. Being able to instantly find and skip ahead to the part you wanted m…

Technically speaking, how do they accomplish this? Given the amount of advertisers they have, the amount of ads that each advertiser is showing, and the amount of variations of tho…

Maybe it’s some sort of in joke for the company. At least, that’s how I took it— alongside it being an obvious reference to a speedometer. My intuition was that maybe the company’s…

I laughed out loud in my office reading the dilbert strip line. Thanks for the giggle, that’s a new one for me lol

Yeah, for real. Isn’t the entire point of cryptocurrency (or at least a key principle) to be resistant to censorship / centralized attempts to “kill” it? I don’t doubt that there i…

I’m not who you replied to, but I agree with his sentiment about signal being superior to telegram in terms of security (or more specifically, privacy). For me, there’s two big rea…

I can’t be sure of whether this specific line in their user agreement applies to this specific situation (balance of an account that has been locked isn’t specifically mentioned), …

I might be out of touch with security nowadays, but could there be a reasonable explanation on Microsoft’s part here in that they wanted to try and help prevent the dime-a-dozen ma…

Good lord. This site is objectively annoying on mobile. As soon as I load the page, full-screen cookie consent notice, paired with some support chat widget that was overlapping wit…

I think he’s being more specific about the kinship between aussies and those in the lower mainland. I live in Vancouver, and I know exactly what this guys talking about when it com…

The Spiffing Brit did a video on YT Premium revenue [0]. My understanding is all the money from all the premium subscribers is thrown into a big pool, of which YouTube takes 45% (o…

I’m not sure how viable this recommendation is, but when I was younger I got my start in development through working online using a pseudonym, working in game development / managem…
