   I still want to try audiobooks more, but I agree that cutting your mind and diving into the words is something quite special. And I was convinced that ebook readers or tablets or whatever from the 2010s would be able to top that but so far

   Funny for some reason the submission title summoned this manga in my mind even though I've never read it only a free chapter in a magazine I was obsessed with.

   I'm always surprised by the abstraction level of Sanskrit ideas. Very rapidly they talk about infinite ways of assembling rules. Was there even a strong motivation (economic or logistical value) behind this?

   I see strange market forces where companies need to be trendy, so they absorb what's in the air, and then people kinda have no choice but to buy it. Nobody really wanted to but it materializes. Around me every house now has tall anthra

   My usual thought on this is that I don't want to get stuck at ctrlp ctrlf level. I always pick a tool that gives an intermediate expressiveness level even if it means a bit more efforts.. especially if it's not gui because I can r

   "invisible" is something I used to describe emacs magit. It's a thin layer over git output, it pops up, it infers parameters from ui state, call the usual git command, and goes out. Lean and fast (unless large project it seem

   Also because lisp core can be reduced to a few "equations" (at least that was my understanding)

   I won't disagree but most books and people who made lisp in the early decades were somehow hinting at not manipulating state but trying to represent ideas and operators to raise the level of expressiveness without shooting yourself in

   it's dark side-ish at the ast level mostly, which is not the same as the dark side of mutable state over byte arrays

    Is it your first rewrite/migration (with or without llm) ? good luck nonetheless

    I wonder if anybody has an implicit fear that with LLM you're expected to be a 20x engineering all the time, otherwise you're out. Can also lead to people producing shiny apps that impress others (sometimes for legit reasons) even

    I do wonder if they print end of page lines for you to cut afterward (sorry couldn't read the whole webpage, maybe they explained it)

    I'm very curious about inhibition failures in brain areas, especially between visual perception and motor control. I'm no neurologist but your brain seems to generate a lot of imaginary interpretation when sensing the visual field

    Just a guess, it may be that he understood distribution more as the static distribution of meaning in fine grain entities (objects) to allow a wide range of context, flexibility. Not necessarily the time aspect of distribution.

    I was hyperbolic somehow. It's just that people usually hate on asm.

    Strange it feels worse than both raw asm and apl.

    I'm just a layman, but somehow Airbus doesn't embody the airplane magic.. yet I'm very curious what this means to you. Any easy to grasp details you could describe ?

    I can't help but be tired of the LLM trendy, where people bang at loops until they hope the model sculpts something. It feels so empty mentally to just have results without constructing it. That said the idea of loop has always been th

    You seem to have experience, I dont mind factoring / unifying logic, when done sensibly with enough history in the trenches. It pains me more whenever a young dev comes in and barks "we must merge these two things!" repeatedl

    Different countries / geographies have these very different relationship with nature. I remember coming back from small islands in the caribeans, and there nature is overwhelming, the size and density. Just after landing home (france)

    I'm stumped such a company was on the market for foreign companies. I thought they had deep ties with US Military Industrial Complex.

    I get a weird feeling when I watch vga/dos programs like Quattro Pro 5. These were large programs quite well done, on very very limited machines. Today apps may not even provide that much (but they are fully networked, maybe more exten
