Back in the VGA days, I worked for a video card maker, and one of them supported a multi-head configuration. You could stick as many as 16 into one machine, if it had enough slots.…

It does exist, and it has been independent, and consequently global markets have priced that in. If that changes, markets will respond accordingly.

Someone tried this, I saw it one of the Reddit AI subs. They were training a local model on whatever they could find that was written before $cutoffDate. Found the GitHub: https://…

Agreed, I get better design and arch solutions from it. And part of my system prompt tells it to be an "aggressive critic" of everything, which is great -- sometimes its "critic's …

OP posited SQLite database contention. I don't know enough about this space to agree or disagree. It would be interesting, and perhaps illuminating, to perform a similar experiment…

Yes, 100%. Being immobile is bad, whether you're standing, sitting, or lying down. (Too much strain from movement is bad too, hence RSI for many of us.) I really enjoy having the f…

Another comment mentioned using a linter to prevent 'console.log' from being mergeable in a PR, and this is exactly the kind of approach I'd take. Preventing an invalid state from …

Reskill to what? When AI can do software development, it will also be able to do pretty much any other job that requires some learning.

I don't know the first thing about such things, but I'll bet if companies were pushed on this they'd suddenly start asserting that it's a lease, which I think is typically taxed si…

My fear/anxiety causes me to avoid action. Fear of mistakes, failure, reproach/criticism from others, that it's going to take a lot of time/money, that I'll waste a lot of time/mon…

I think the only way this gets better is with software development tools that make it impossible to create invalid states. In the physical world, when we build something complex li…

Oh awesome, thank you! I will check back in December.

I'm interested, but I can't find any documentation for it. Can I give it local content (documents, spreadsheets, code, etc.) and ask questions?

Wow. If you think capitalism produces inequalities, you should check out some of the other systems that have been tried!

Every complex piece of software "breaks in weird ways", that doesn't make it terrible. It will also break if you're trying to do 'weird' things it's not really designed for.

From the article: "Infineon did not report the flaw to NASA because the company did not know what the transistors would be used for, Fitzpatrick said." They might not have "known",…

If you work in the JVM ecosystem, I can recommend (Java/Kotlin) + Quarkus + JDBI with Postgres. Quarkus supports testcontainers out of the box for tests, and it just plain works. I…

Once you're familiar with friction, you start seeing it everywhere. And then you hate how much of it there is. I'm sure there's a philosophical lesson in there somewhere. As far as…

Fair enough on the CSS, and I didn't realize autosave is already done, thanks! I did see the '---' collapsible and that helps but only if you have one section you want to collapse.…

Experimented a few more minutes, and I have a few suggestions I think I'd like to see implemented: -- Allow regular expression search. -- Click outside the note to save. (Autosave …

Uh... maybe not? I've been living with just a few folders in Outlook for some time now (Inbox[0], Archive, and Important) and can almost always find what I'm looking for. Usually w…

Looks clean, but how are you organizing the "thousands of notes I had on Google Keep"? It looks like a single page of notes.

The lawsuit was settled out of court ( https://www.wsbradio.com/news/national/documents-detail/VUTB... ). Reading between the lines, I'm guessing OceanGate (a company with substant…

We dropped Amazon Prime earlier this year, in part because of the introduction of ads, and we haven't missed it. We're now talking about moving to the model where you stream one or…

That was super interesting and well worth the 16 minutes, thanks for the link!
