AI hype is also tiring.

Yep, and if I did there's no way I'd understand my previous notes.

More like "We can track you better in the app"

I'm getting out of my comfort zone (software) to work on a telepresence robot for my D&D games. My main motivator for this is that I'm often the only person remote for these sessio…

Yeah I loaded it up and had no idea what to do.

Yes, a public database like this would be acceptable. That way the info isn't paywalled behind some white pages site or similar. And then maybe I could even update my own info to b…

I don't disagree, but broadening your network is a very different skill (being social) than handling investment portfolios. And for some of us, it's not that we necessarily despise…

I recently had a coworker open my eyes to why vibe coding, or AI-assisted coding is so popular. He likened it to a slot machine, where pulling the slot's arm is like asking an LLM …

I'd argue genes nor life has a "goal". They are what they are because they've been successful at continuing their existence. Would you say a rock's goal is not to get broken?

Just curious, what metrics would you use to track how well your results are?

I took a Computer Science class decades ago that used that book as the core of the class material. I don't remember a single thing about that class now except that I hate that book…

I use Xreal Air Pros for gaming and sometimes working if I'm mobile. Resolution isn't great, but I find them better than looking at a small-ish laptop screen or the Steam Deck scre…

It depends, the frameworks I've seen require a ton of boilerplate (ie. the things tools like create-react-app sets up for you) and have quite a learning curve. Using what you alrea…

Yeah, sounds like Tiddly Wiki or similar except with the need for a backend component. Edit: actually it looks more like a library/framework to make such apps. And now I'm not sure…

I think the answer to "classic mode" browsing is at the bottom of the site: web rings.

From what I've heard anecdotally, there have been a bunch more PRs and bug reports generated by AI. But I've also heard they're generally trash and just wasting the project maintai…

It's hard to take a developer seriously when they don't document their code and think unit tests are a waste of time.

I always pick apart previous teams' work.. it's how I learn. I question most every decision because I'm curious why they made those decisions. And it lets me think about how I'd do…

For those of use that haven't use Angular, can you explain what this is doing? And what's it do that we can't already do with asyncio? Also, it's weird you have to call `asyncio.sl…

Babies also aren't rectangles.. you could lay a row shoulder to shoulder, then do another row upside down from the first and their heads would fit between the heads of the first ro…

Smaller instance can become big. Say you set up a small instance and invite your family. Then family members want to invite their family, or friends, or whomever. How do you manage…

I think you're missing the entire point of the article. It's attempting to classify a fictional, alien species with a real taxonomy (the only one we currently have available to us)…

That sounds great for moving fast, but not so great for sharing and keeping info about these projects. If/when someone quit, how would their projects get split up for other devs to…

I skimmed it, but couldn't find what the "doodle theorem" is. It's only mentioned in the title.
