Voting with your wallet is like voting with your vote. It both works, but to an extent that will never be noticeable by you. You vote more often with your money than with your vote…

So Signal then. It's donation based and works fine.

I can't imagine any reasonable engineer thinking webhooks are a solved problem. Imagine how much time and effort those provider must spent to offer high quality webhooks, to then s…

You mean pull-oriented models are easier to reason about, right?

What I like about Niri and hyprland is that I don't need to think about where windows open and about positioning them. This then looks very tiring, but I could be wrong. Would have…

Seconded. I always have a workspace on my NixOs where I can query an LLM to fix anything I don't like about my OS. 9 out 10 times it gets it right on the first shot and my OS is at…

To me the title just read like: how to exist skillfully.

I needed this feature! Thank you

I don't think they force you to do that. Not trying to be pedantic, but you can also just wait for a single agent to finish its work. Nowadays I often feel that that is a better sp…

Or better yet Nushell

Everything that is present can not be changed in the current moment. It already is. Therefore accept everything that already is. That is deeply compatible with using your energy to…

Nix is awesome and has not been part of any pendulum (or clock). It's complex enough that it allows you to build programs with it, but on such a simple core that for all intents an…

Switched to Nushell and I am not looking back. I don't see any major reason why we should keep dragging Bash into the twenty first century. Nushell is the first time I feel like I …

Do we really want to stop evolving the space of languages (and libraries and frameworks while we're at it) just because we have LLM's writing code now? If LLM's were truly smart, t…

Because it's not preinstalled on every machine. Bash is a good target for portability reasons, but it's a shitty language to write in. If ever I get in the position again to have t…

That is a very charitable read. I remember plenty of dumbasses who said: I don't need a type system, cause I know what I am doing and I don't create bugs.

God, do you remember that presentation Google gave when they introduced Angular 2.0? I think it was December 2015. It was sooo bad that in my eyes it killed Angular's momentum almo…

If I had two SWE candidates with the same genes where one dropped out of high school to build a portfolio of software and the other followed the traditional CS trajectory, then I'd…

Try NixOs. Somewhat of a steep learning curve, but once you're over the hump setting up a machine is about half an hour of work and most of that is just waiting for stuff to downlo…

In my case the possible hallucination was the only one that was 100% factual.

Vegan ML engineer here. In total agreement with you. People are just moving the goal post to keep themselves protected from the obvious conclusion: there is nothing really all that…

I use Niri workspaces that way. I name my spaces (usually after branches) and have a browser, editor and usually a few terminals open on a workspace. It's also great that a workspa…

Right, not having to leave the terminal is a big one for me too. I live there and every time I start some desktop app, I gotta switch gears, potentially grab the mouse, leave my vi…

Almost 40 years of software development and I think you're overlooking the strength of Gradle. Before Gradle if you wanted any kind of build step that was slightly outside of the n…

A bit shocking to see how low people rate factory farming, place 34. Arguably the worst thing happening on this planet right now, the only thing is: not to humans, but to other sen…
