I've been helping to run a meetup in Christchurch, New Zealand: https://christchurch.ruby.nz/ for about 10 years (maybe longer, I've lost track!). I _completed_ agree with the arti…

Yeah, this collection is _awesome_. I'm currently enjoying the Towers (just do it on 5x5 simple, and find it quite relaxing!).

I haven't looked into it thoroughly yet, but, at some point it'll be worth looking at getting a static IP address and using Cloudflare tunnels to serve toyish projects from your ho…

Can you point to an article on how to do this? This sounds _amazing_

So you have an article you can point to?

Yip interesting, you're the second person in a week who has suggested the magnesium. I frankly never trust these suggestions of supplements (having tried some before), but, https:/…

I've tried a CPAP machine for 6 weeks and felt no different and gave up. I think I was a 6 on the scale. I wish it had worked though! Currently I've just given up and embracing fee…

This article really captures what I'm feeling about the entire AI jobs landscape. What the heck happens when we don't have juniors for years? There's gonna be trouble ahead (unless…

"It’s my website: I can do what I want with it. " Right on! It's so liberating having your own wee corner of the internet.

What a bad situation, and I genuinely feel for them. I do think they blamed a lot of other people and I think a section on what lessons they have learned themselves might be a good…

If you're lucky enough to have a job. Which you probably won't in a Great Depression II

I'm about to start a new role. What have you found most effective in using it to learn a new code base? Just asking questions about "what is this class doing" ? drawing architectur…

Any write up on this?

Kamal is basically self hosting though right? So you have to take care of keeping the underlying os patched etc. With heroku you only needed to think about git push.. ?

May well have bugs as I just finished it (and really it should be baked into the UI so you can easily reverse)... however... here is the reverse play: https://minichessgames.com/#/…

But this is different? Wholesale copying of copyrighted works and packaging it up and allowing it to be generated. It's not remotely reasonable

Yup, I'm going to build out the reverse play when I find time in the next few weeks hopefully! I'll try to remember to comment here :) Quite probably you did just run up against a …

I've been working on https://www.minichessgames.com which I built with my 6 year old (she was the product owner ;). It's a site with a bunch of small puzzles (e.g. imagine a chess …

It's just a basic minmax. The main mistake it makes is that if it can find an assured path to getting you it doesn't care how many moves in the future it is (even if it could win t…

Thanks :). Did you manage to beat it (first time?) ;)

This is a play website I built out with my 6 year old to show her that you can also build for the web (not just consume!). The idea was to make a bunch of small mini games (more co…

well, lets take that as true (no more humans doing accounting). Doesn't that mean that there'll be a knowledge gap there? What happens when new rules come along (laws change all th…

Interesting thought. I feel currently AI is most useful to those who have a decent understanding of the subject material and can critique any output. To wholesale trust the output …
