    It's still too early to tell, but it might make sense at some point. If because of symmetry and universality we decide that llms are a protected class, but we also need to configur…

    Multi cursor edits feel nice during flow state, they let your brain stay in "edit" mode. However I only use them for edits of around 20-30 lines at a maximum. Another use case for …

    Lambdas are not fully equivalent since return statements in statement expressions will return at the function level, whereas return statements in lambdas will only return at the la…

    I guess there would be more communes that chose to live like the Amish. A new hippie movement.
