I am not sure I understand your question- MUDs have a text interface, somewhat similar to a command line. It wouldn't be a proper MUD if it had a graphical interface- there are ple…

That's really interesting- I wish I could go back 30 years and verify that- I am a bit skeptical to be honest, as a young sponge with my first computer I was reading everything ava…

So I actually had a use case for this last month. My NAS is too weak to run immich well, so I dusted off my old sandybridge core i7 laptop from ~2011, and it actually benchmarks ab…

Journeyman Project... that brought back a deep rooted memory. Its still not clear to me if my Packard Bell came with a full version or a demo, because I remember being stuck about …

both. Stock is below IPO price and bond is trading below par.

Is this a real question? ICE cars have a battery too.

Eh... yes but, I can write a sql query and come back a year later and understand it at first glance, or maybe if its really complicated a minute or two. Writing a regex involves al…

I'm personally just at messages. And even then I make it clear I respond when I want to. Only phone rings/notifications I get are for those in my contact list. Take your phones bac…

Where was this? I would like to read. I have read his papers and they are great, and usually surprisingly readable.

Once word got out that a report was going up to a department head around commit frequency, a few of us started to make "backup commits" to boost our stats. Whether it be dev server…

I have had to do this, well over a decade ago now, when working at a place that was a pretty big deal in the node world, and node was still pretty new. They helped us. I would imag…

I think the issue is that we have under built so much for so long, that it often feels futile to build more. NYC can feel like this, because due to zoning and general difficulties …

What is your mental model for this then? If the "2BR shack" can be built from scratch for 300k, and the value for the lot + shack is $3M, then the land value is $2.7M. Most expensi…

> Have you questioned whether you might have been better off without seeing ISIS decapitation videos when you were a teenager (you might be too old for that though)? See, I have, a…

The numbers are seasonally adjusted- the reports themselves are not very difficult to read, I suggest you go to to the source: https://www.bls.gov/news.release/empsit.nr0.htm The b…

Appreciate the clarification. I guess its a case of I don't know what I don't know, but the choice of metric around quality was just an odd one. And yeah I assumed silk because I c…

I am kind of lost here on this whole scarf through a ring thing as well. This is just a function of the thickness of the scarf? My wife went through a scarf phase about a decade ag…

I think this is behavior that should be encouraged online. Staying quiet and letting the experts talk to increase the signal to noise ratio is a GOOD thing. OP has hands on experie…

Personally I am already there- I go to Qwen and Deepseek locally via ollama for my dumb questions and small tasks, and only go to Claude if they fail. I do this partially because I…

I don't love all the new tahoe stuff, and do wish I could go roll back, but this hand wringing around Apple is way overblown IMHO. What he is reporting is real, but in my actual us…

As someone who frequently posts online- with em dashes- I wonder if I am part of the problem with training llms to use them so much- and am going to get punished in the future for …

A few years back, well ok maybe almost ten now, but regardless- a recruiter reached out to me about a role at a "series G" company like it was a selling point, and I was just kinda…

Yeah it was mayo clinic. Also there was packard bell navigator. I still have all the shovelware cds from that machine. Other stuff was Tuneland, which was narrated by howie mandel …

Heh, I agree. There is a vast ocean of dev work that is just "upgrade criticalLib to v2.0" or adding support for a new field from the FE through to the BE. I can name a few times w…

Yeah- but LFS didn't really expose you to that or really teach you much about Systemd internals. Here is the page on it: https://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/systemd/chapter09…
