Nova Rock is mostly camping on and inhaling dry dirt, camping in and being covered in mud, not going to the toilet for 2-3 days, and eating canned food. But I hear you.

Austria is a small country but festival-wise it does host a couple superlatives -- Donauinselfest as the largest festival in the world, Novarock being the largest rock festival dep…

parse json? const x = await fetch(...); await x.json(); "intercept" code that runs before every request? const withAuth = (res, options) => fetch(res, { ... do stuff here });

I've been using apt for 20 years too and was never a fan of it, canonical repos are never up-to-date and managing ppas is a pain. Yes I'm very hype about nixOS (and that's a rare t…

Which seems suprisingly high given that it's 92 protons worth of antimatter!

Fair point but I've stopped trying to declaratively manage stuff in nix that has its own idiosyncratic state management. That way youre just using nix to run an installer.

After having done the switch to nixOS, I can confidently say that managing a system any other way (like with apt/brew + 20 handwritten bash scripts) really is neanderthal technolog…

I do leave PR commits separate. In my teams I don't set up pre-commit hooks altogether, unless others feel strongly otherwise. In projects where they are forced upon me I frequentl…

I would reckon cleaning up your branch before opening a pull request is good practice. I also rebase a lot, aswell as git reset, and I use wip commits. Slow hooks are also not a pr…

This might be a me problem but I extensively manipulate the git history all the time which makes me loathe git hooks. A commit should take milliseconds, not a minute.

I was thinking that he's describing implementing an initial algebra for a functor (≈AST) and an F-Algebra for evaluation. But I guess those are different words for the same things.…

According to the wayback machine, the change happened somewhere between Oct 7 and Oct 10. Interestingly there are no recorded snapshots on Oct 8 and Oct 9, perhaps the redesign cau…

Haha hey lyc! I didn't forget, you guys were second family! You taught me a lot about maths and code, not sure where I'd be without you :) Learnt more while messing around with fra…

Fractal flames is such a cool algorithm. They're what got me into programming many moons ago :)

Did the switch to NixOS a few months ago on my Thinkpad and ChatGPT worked wonders. I'm not very experienced with Linux distros and have been an Ubuntu user for a long time. I don'…

Also he's literally The Flashbulb of 2000s IDM fame. Some people are really just good at everything.

Except making employers do only easy things will make them stagnate. People who do nothing but simple CRUD apps over and over won't even be particularly good at making CRUD apps...…

I probably spend 30% of time on refactoring. Deduplicating common things different people have done, adding seperating layers between old shitty code and the fancy new abstractions…

Hilariously dumb

I totally just verbalize my inner monologue, swearing and everything. Sometimes I just type "weeeeeeeelllllll" and send it, to get more LLM output or to have it provide alternative…

I think you're supposed to let the AI write the bad python code and then do the refactoring yourself. No way I'm letting the AI make changes to 150 files with tons of cross-concern…

Chess is not exactly a simple logic task. It requires you to keep track of 32 things in a 2d space. I remember being extremely surprised when I could ask GPT3 to rotate a 3d model …

Not that I would know but I'd assume it's just one of those early internet things. Like somebody decided that 6 levels of headers were good enough hence h1 through h6, and well you…

I got into Minecraft via 4chan, of all places. People used to make posts about it and how cool it was and others would naturally talk crap about the game.
