Yes, agree. To the point that I'm not very interested in looking them up.

The framing of this title makes it seem like Jupyter is dead. It, in fact, is not.

We don't know if that's really accurate, because you're conveniently ignoring 2016. If Trump were never initially president, would he have ever become one? Maybe, maybe not. But 2024 surely would have looked very different.

I'm trying to be careful to distinguish that this particular part seems odd to me, specifically because of Julia's other posts in which it seems their skill/knowledge is not much of a question. If someone is new to vim, I 1

I think with Cursor choosing it as well, this will only continue to prevail. Professionally I've had to standardize on VSCode due to Cursor (there are a few plugins for Neovim but the experience is undoubtedly better in the first-class

When I was younger, I thought Gemini was very cool mostly because it was an alternative protocol to the mainstream. It made me feel very inner-circle in the development world, for some reason. As I've grown, I've come to learn I&#

I have my iPhone 13 Pro Max for 4 years now and the only problem I really have is storage and the battery. I'm debating if I just replace the battery and let this run another year... since the iPhone X I haven't seen any major upg

Is iPhone still viewed as a status symbol? Genuine question - maybe I'm too in my own bubble but it seems like iPhone just completely dominates the market and is viewed as the "default" phone, which to me implies status quo,

The deal breaker for me was when they introduced support for the "delete" key. A real developer should get it right the first time.

Heard! I've been running NixOS as a daily driver for about 5 years so I'm somewhat comfortable with it. So far, I haven't seen many odd configurations as you suggest, but I'll keep my eye out.

> I write code so it is easy to read, and spaces are better for that than tabs, so now I use tabs. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ This is a very confusing final sentence. :)

This is my exact takeaway too, and I'm always surprised it doesn't get mentioned often. If AI is truly groundbreaking, then shouldn't AI be able to re-implement itself? Which, to me, would imply that every AI company is not o

I refuse to use the word "simple" in my docs writing for this precise reason. I have come to view the word to seem condescending/elitist, even if that's not the intent. If something is written as simple, but I as an entr

In the second sentence he mentions: > the code base is now 100% (unsafe) Rust I didn't interpret that it's 100% unsafe, but I do expect that to mean there is probably a lot of unsafe blocks used. A good amount of the example co

I think humans can have different motivations. For your son, it seems to be this. When I was 12, I originally wanted to make video games, but found that I just loved building things and felt like programming was a magical toolbox. For me, i
