Projects like this are great because open source versions need to figure out the right way to do things, rather than the hacky, closed, proprietary alternatives that pop up first and are just trying to consume as many users as possible to g

Unless you are someone that has chores to do like say... Most people? Yes we could technically leave our dirty dishes on the sink while we do art but that decision bites you next time you want to cook lol. Obviously we mean we want to use t

I mean I guess In this obtuse, maybe someone's joy In life is doing dishes and that is their art, then idk maybe but not even then. First, this just misunderstands what is being said here. For most people, chores like the dishes is a m

It took a minute to setup, but using a combination of rsync and timers to backup system files has done wonders to decrease my anxiety around upgrades on arch

The writer is speaking from the perspective of the traditional philosophical understanding of a thinking being. No, LLMs are not thinking beings with internal state. Even these "reasoning" models are just prompting the same LLM ov

I think as you go on it becomes a out being sure that you are solving problems in the simplest way possible. Chances are even with the simplest solution possible you will still need to do some creative stuff. However, too many programmers i

This is great for situations where you need to edit code within an app ecosystem that won't let you dev locally. My use-case is ServiceNow which forces us into their crappy proprietary editor. But you do need to get good at calibrating

I fundamentally disagree. Or atleast, LLMs are a development tool that will fit right in with LSPs, databases, and any other piece of infrastructure. A tool that you learn to apply where possible, but those with wisdom will use better tools

It's night and day. Vscode was never meant for the workflow, so even small things like moving to the sidebars and interacting with them using the keyboard is a pain in the ass. Setting up custom hotkeys is an exercise in patience, and

Okay fine yes. The proper and disciplined answer spoken by someone who appreciates the act of conducting science. To make the point much more precise. From a philosophical perspective, while reaffirming existing knowledge is good and necess

An interesting point. Allot of ink has been spilled around whether or not we are inherently drawn to negative news or if the ecosystems themselves condition us to seek negative news. You're correct that if negative news was less profit

Walk that thought through to the end. Because it's become a popular sentiment even on this platform which is interesting. If what you're saying is true, the internet itself is toxic to mental health, and the only sane thing to do

by MantisShrimp90 2y ago
It's.... A nuanced and good point. What you are suggesting is that there is a locality dimension here which is interesting and probably points to an important consideration. Even the follow up insight about agency and that the problem

I mean, fair enough, I'll give you the point. Your point about the horror movies is a good perspective as well and as a philosophy graduate I love your reframing. But I also think we both know how most people are going to take this so

Idk what the point of research like is. I mean like, duh? I would be surprised if they claimed negative news DIDNT affect mental health struggles. Instead the far more interesting questions seems to be: in a world where negative news is bec

The longer I program the more I agree with this take. I have seen too much power and dominance from people who wield it as a cudgel against everyone else in the room who doesn't care enough to double-check the practice. Put another wa

This. Not only can I corroborate this experience already in my workplace, even in my personal projects I can feel the effect. The most striking example was I was learning a new language (fennel) and wanted to translate some existing code (L

I think Rich Hickeys advice of not breaking people applies here. The anger from this potential change is that really all you are doing is taking something away that was working, and now people will need to review their code or keep python o

As somebody who just did job interviews, tech like this is why the job market has somehow become even worse in the LLM age. You want to know why people are using AI to read your resume? Because tools like this are clogging job inboxes with

I never really understand this reasoning of "regex is hard to reason about, so we just use an LLM we custom made instead!" I get it's trendy but reasoning about LLMs is impossible for many devs the idea that this makes it mor

As someone writing a neovim plugin using treesitter thank you! Languages like this help leverage treesitter in more interesting ways whereas current apis are still a bit low-level

I think it's funny how much emotional energy gets invested into any (neo)vim posts. But the energy is mostly people that never learned vim and feel super insecure about it. I'm not going to make the same mistake of judging this. I

This doesn't resonate with me because I grew up with mouse and gesture support and I left for a reason. Now I guess I need to say this, if you find yourself intimidated or put-off by keyboard-centric workflows THATS FINE. I think the r

Idk who this is for. Unless you really like mechanical keyboards but can't use them either due to other coworkers or a lack of funds, but something like this would make me kinda sad as someone who actually likes mechanical keyboards. T

I guess this is for people that don't use Neovim but never want to leave the terminal? Just kinda seems like the worst of both worlds to me. Less powerful than neovim while still using the same configuration language, yet less ubiquito

You can also use nvim-dap if you use Neovim
