    Are there statistics on the scale of compute available to GIMPS for this search? Is there any evidence that by crowdsourcing the clients, we are searching faster than, eg, a dedica…

    > none of them seem to have that basic "New Window with Profile ..." iTerm has exactly that.

    Umm. Well, mostly because tiktok is the only major social media company associated with a government that has a history of trying to steer US elections one way or another.

    What is your definition of bare metal?

    Yes it can. Diffraction limit relates to resolution in space, not scattering.

    Prose writing in any form is super useful. The challenge is having a unified tool to impose some structure. Instead, thoughts are divided across email, slack, confluence, quip, etc…

    This is the way. I’ve used zettelkasten, which is similar philosophy. Dump a thought and tag it for retrieval later. I prefer making this work with simple files and markdown. I hav…

    I get that, but isn’t that a problem with dependency management itself and not the tools?

    I don’t think I could ever switch to a windowed app as editor, vs a TUI, eg neovim. The remote story is never great for me. It forces your editor to slowly bloat to become your ent…

    Tips please, esp configure vscode like nvim.

    Evidently this is all very new to you, sounding slightly histrionic. The zed complaint is purely about it be auto enabled. For each language there is usually a standard and at leas…

    Not sure it should be default, but auto formatting actually helps reduce git noise.

    Here I am and pip+venv+pyproject.toml work just fine. I don’t distribute outside our team, maybe that’s why?

    Agree. Support PSF, don’t advocate a new “right way” of doing it. Weird position.

    Assuming you’re serious and not just trolling - what even is wokism, aside from a name thrown at people you disagree with? Bigotry is a known, studied phenomenon. Are you saying th…

    Glad that auto formatting tools like black and ruff (at least in Python world) are increasingly becoming the norm. It’s really nice to not think about whitespace or humor these sil…

    Maybe true for pure software projects. There are other things in tech - robots, from drones and cars to rockets, for example. There are complicated systems that will never, even wi…

    I guess I don’t quite get it. It’s not a ton of work for me to manage things with git, symlinks, and a makefile. Clearly chezmoi adds some polish and maybe additional features, but…

    Objective merit is very dependent on the problem and the context. There is no absolute merit one way or the other.

    Same here. Bose ear buds noise canceling and bass are incredible. No comparison to the air pods. But god are they big and ugly.

    This is the answer. The thread is chasing various smart-people opinions about languages, interpreters, system calls. We got tricked into click bait title and are using the opportun…

    I constantly get low key shade for choosing to build everything in Python. It’s really interesting to me. People can’t break out of thinking, “oh, you wrote a script for that?”. Ac…

    They’re not deprecating UTC. Did you read the link? They’re deprecating functions that read as authoritative, but are actually naive about timezones, which can less to non-UTC resu…
