With web search and tool call a decent current generation model at the speed of the chatjimmy could do a lot. People saying it would be out of date are missing the point. It’s not …

I don’t think it’s that fairness. It’s about - what’s a fair amount of punishment? Since society has created the laws and laid down mechanisms to punish wrongs, each person then in…

Why does this library get posted here, what feels like every month? I remember it seeing at least twice before.

Someone pointed it out to me that, if a person does something bad and faces the consequences by law, then that should be the end of it. Applying a personal punishment individually …

I so want to agree. I have been a Linux user for almost 2 decades now and I still can’t close apps by throwing my mouse on the right top corner and clicking. It works on “KDE apps”…

> and I use LastPass Oh! No. Please switch to something else. Last pass has had so many breaches, at this point it’s just not worth it.

That’s in utterly bad taste. Not sure what offended you. But there is no need to call in Muslims and mosques in this conversation.

From down south of India - the Proto Tamil language is the basis for modern Tamil, Malayalam and others. We still have Sanskrit being used by Temple priests. One of changes in the …

I feel the same way. One of my client insists it’s amazing as a marketing tool, helps go through notifications, draft personalized emails..etc., He asks for user metrics from Teleg…

Hello everyone. I am really not sure what I was ranting about yesterday. I have some bones to pick with the system. The crux of it is - it’s not a technological miracle. It’s the g…

Thanks for the additional info. But I want to clarify one thing - I didn’t say anything about cash being a better choice. Both the comments to my response are making it out to be a…

Fair enough. I am not knowledgeable enough to debate if it’s a net negative or positive. But “savings and efficiency” also has a negative side where people have lost life savings a…

I would guess NPCI being a private body with transaction charges being borne by the Indian government is a net negative in the long run. It costs everyone. NEFT and RTGS on the oth…

Thanks for explaining the context. It makes sense in your case where using mouse is a hard constraint. My reaction is more towards people who optimise for productivity.

Keybooard and Mouse. Everytime. I have the same question. How much do you type in a day that moving the hand to the mouse is a productivity loss? I spend a lot of time staring (thi…

By making “upstreaming” the core of OS contribution, we have also failed to build tooling around downstream synchronisation. There are dedicated browser forks (a very highly comple…

Man, these are the kinds of things that I am so happy to read. People who think and care deeply about what they do, take pragmatic decisions that appears right to them and explain …

Wow. With all the beach, pier and flyby shots, as a non-American, I really thought it was all shot in Santa Barbara. Man. What editing can do.

Tried it. Works as advertised :) Amazing. I am on Doom Emacs, the keyboard shortcuts don't seem to work. Clicking works. I suspect Whichkey (Space) and Evil mode (n/p..etc.,) to be…

Use mise and you will be in the micro-seconds region. https://arunmozhi.in/2024/09/06/replacing-pyenv-nvm-direnv-w...

Second this. Just add Starship.rs for prompt and offload tool chain version handling to mise. That covers about 100% of my needs. If your org doesn’t use mise, just add mise.toml t…

In case of China, the extend to which the central government can set laws and policies far exceeds what’s possible in India. India’s powers are split into Federal, State and “Concu…
