    One thing to note about these two APIs is that they affect how the session history (the back/forward stack) behaves, but the global browser history (entries shown in the History ta…

    I too share your sentiment about VS Code. Its extension API[0] is extensive and approachable, often with examples[1] for each API. Just a small anecdote: At work, I found it frustr…

    A little off-topic, but I'd love to see a tool similar to this that provides real-time previews for an entire shell pipeline which, most importantly, integrates into the shell. Thi…

    Honestly, upon further thought I think it should be fine as long as the diffs look good. I just personally would feel more confident with using perl for anything to do with multi-f…

    I'm very fond of looking at problems in a different light to come up with solutions or approximations that can be computed with ease mentally. Do any folks here have pointers to re…

    One thing I really appreciate about Wikimedia is the openness and quality of documentation for their infrastructure (which can be found at https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikim…

    Pretty cool! Does anyone know how open-source alternatives like GPT-J compare to ChatGPT? I've heard that it's comparable to GPT-3, but nothing close to GPT-3.5. I'd much prefer us…
