I love this concept, and applying open source to it. I have long seen the correlation between code and food, because recipes are just instructions for humans on how to interact with food to construct something. Recipes are code, just a diff

61B is the second beginners course of Berkeley Computer Science (61A being the first). This is essentially a 102 course.

I prefer stability over optimal, especially in my development environment. I use macOS with nix-darwin, so updating my applications is never very concerning - I can always just rollback if an update is bad. But macOS updates, while generall

What did you invest in? If you just did S&P 500 it would have gone up pretty significantly.

The optimist (which is really my real stance) in me says "AI was always bound to happen, and why shouldn't it? It literally can make so many mundane parts of our lives easier, to let us continue to focus on greater things." U

No, bonus is still going on, but it's not "overfunded" anymore.

Is LinkedIn often used as a resume? LinkedIn to me is a social media platform. At least in the software companies I've worked for, and applied to, I've only ever seen actual resumes around.

If this is a true threat, I don't imagine us retaining a capitalist society for very long. AI is basically the dream for socialism, and the antithesis for capitalism (except for the capitalists that win the arms race). In any case, I&#

Is Godot production ready? I'm always intrigued by it but it always feels much more like a startup vs the polished Unreal engine.

I'd be curious on data for this - if that's actually true, or just your perception. Not wanting "BuzzFeed" to be someone's source of journalism is not the same thing as that person not wanting to consume high-qualit

I don't know how you came out of my comment with this response. What I'm saying is there is already plenty of better (or just-as-good, or near-good) sources of journalism. I did not even know BuzzFeed News was separate from Buzz

I really don't know why they kept the BuzzFeed branding. I intentionally _ignored_ anything that came from BuzzFeed News as likely tabloid-esque news because of the branding, and I honestly do not think that's the wrong perspectiv

A 4GB Raspberry Pi 4 costs... $169 USD actively on Amazon ( https://www.amazon.com/Raspberry-Model-2019-Quad-Bluetooth/d... ). I can find more powerful laptops for cheaper. I can get a Dell R720 which has drastically mor

Totally fair, and understood! Thanks for the response. I agree Nix’s biggest issue is that it’s extremely hard to consume. It took me essentially over a year before I felt… proficient in using it.

Ah, this is fair. Where I view "flatpack install ..." as a negative, I do realize that most users likely view that as a positive.

What advantages does Flatpak offer over Nix? The only benefit(s) I see are: 1. Sandboxed applications (via containers?) - so applications you have don't technically have access to your home directories by default. That's sort of

Appreciate the reply. > There's stuff like iTunes opening every time I connected BT headphones, and regular attempts to nag me into using Safari. I don't know if these are legacy concerns, but this has not happened to me ever

I would consider myself quite the power user and use both macOS and Linux daily… I don’t really understand, from the developer perspective, your concerns about macOS? While I prefer the feel of Linux, macOS is more than sufficient for almos

Yeah, I'm confused by this one, as salaried employeees. Unless your salaried job is making you clock in, why not work the 3-4 hours it takes to do your normal job, take whatever meetings, and go do literally anything else with the rest

I don't think this is accurate - at least not anymore. VS Code supports LSP configuration which means all those features should be available. That said - I haven't used it in years. Way too heavy and Vim does all of those + modal

I use (Neo)vim as my daily driver, professionally (for the past 4 years, coming from Goland). I've found every other editor to be too heavy/slow (VScode/Jetbrains), or too noisy (regarding features). Neovim allows me to speci
