    Well, we use flash models extensively (both 2.5 and 3.1) and I cannot overstate this, google cannot fucking serve them without 503s 70% of the time on most days I think it’s pure e…

    One persistent issue I keep having is preview environments for this kind of stuff. I have the full setup, migrations, database seeding, etc. But having it run off a PR is still kin…

    Technical question: I run my own Pi hole dns server. Is it possible to just add an A record for it? What are you guys doing to get around this?

    I am a manager. I am the head of engineering at my company. I still don't understand what is going on.

    IDK what everyone is doing anymore. Just why do you need 10 parallel agents doing things. How is this even a possible workflow for a person.

    Yeah, I gave it a very fair shot. Got pretty good at it too. But I’m back to Vim too. Things I loved: no plugins. Native LSP integration. The pickers are a lot faster and nicer tha…

    This is why everyone should have at least a basic education in materialist analysis. Our material relations dictate the structure of society, not the other way around. China is a m…

    I have a lot of mechanical keyboards, and honestly I prefer plastic over aluminum. I don't really understand the allure of all that heavy metal. The new 8BitDo one is a good exampl…

    I was actually shocked he included those tweets as if they were incredibly benign. I now believe this is an intentional move on his part. He knows the tweets are crazy incendiary, …

    Does jj effectively support stacked diffs on github? I've been paying through the nose for Graphite lately because it does, and the feeling I get is I'm just paying for their nice …

    This is just very clever marketing for what is obviously just a cost saving measure. Why say we are implementing a way to cut off useless idiots from burning up our GPUs when you c…

    A lot of the CEOs in the US currently come from this uni. It's called IIT, in case you're curious. There's also IIMs which are based on the same model but for business studies. Als…

    This is such a bizarre and gross take. Yes our history is a history of class struggle. But history does progress. For thousands of years we were supposed to be property of kings so…
