    Thanks, those are very good points! Intuitively it makes a lot of sense that asking for boilerplate code for Flask (to name something widely used and documented) these AI bots coul…

    Is it just me or are LLM chat bots still useless in many cases?

    Despite all enthusiasm I hear around me (at work mostly) and read online, I've noticed on many occasions the responses I get are really just useless. This recent encounter illustra…

    Thanks for sharing your insight, appreciated! Also your final remark.

    Looks interesting, thanks for posting and commenting here! Does it in any way attempt to find the global minimum, or will it merely enhance the decent to any local minimum of the c…

    If that's so I should never leave my company. My own situation wasn't directly comparable but I was stuck in a role I ended up in; HR helped me out big time. There core focus was: …

    You don't have an HR department you can discuss with? Just be fully transparent and present your own perspective, all of it. If your HR is professional, they will help getting to t…

    Self hosting? Not once you have more than just you and some friends using what you've built, but until then you can just take your time to experiment without taking any cost.

    My personal appreciation for the HN UI is that it's completely free of distraction.

    Really cool! For cycling, some statistics like power and heart rate (if recorded) would be a great addition. Then over time an evolution of the power curve. Another useful feature …

    Look into unified kernel images (UKI). That makes you independent on a bootloader; whenever things go wrong (like Windows overwriting your Linux related entries), just use the 'boo…

    What I feel Powershell does not give: short and simple command names, little syntax, and return values that are interpretable at a glance. And there's muscle memory of course, that…

    oh-my-zsh on Linux is absolutely great, especially with autosuggestions and syntax-highlighting enabled. On Windows I've settled with Windows Terminal and clink. I've tried Powersh…

    OK thanks for sharing your thoughts! Much appreciated. For now I reported to my direct manager and the HR manager, asking what HR's follow up actions are going to be (suggesting pr…

    My HR dept leaked some data to a scammer, take any action or ignore?

    I'm in some big multinational. I didn't get my salary of last month; thought I'd give it a couple of days. Then HR contacts me, asking whether I really did not get my salary? What …

    Great service! Could you consider allowing for ports other than 7878? Would be nice in restricted network environments. Like that of my company; it's allowing only the more common …

    If self-hosting is an option for you (that already partly resolves not having to deal with 'shady companies', or at least you can choose a hoster yourself); I've been using Vaultwa…

    I'm easily annoyed by either loud fans or fan speed that fluctuate all the time. So something I always run on my Linux laptops: https://github.com/nbfc-linux/nbfc-linux

    Python bytecode was shipped in a commercial application; I once took half an hour to figure out what arguments the scripts were accepting (by decompiling the bytecode). This has al…

    vscode actually is very convenient when working on remote machines. You'll run the vscode editor on your own box, but have it access the remote's filesystem over ssh. https://code.…
