Comparing the two is a bit unfair. Don't get me wrong, I never liked twitter all that much and lately I've grown to hate it(and I wouldn't miss it one bit if it suddenly disappeared) while in principle I love blogs. But they

A bit of a hit and miss really. I haven't fiddled with languages all that much, but I was kinda curious to try a bunch of models with Spanish(the only large language other than English in my toolbox) about a month or two ago. Aguila 7B

I was always a huge supporter of RSS and my disappointment was immeasurable when it almost completely died. I've kind of abandoned the hope that it would make a comeback though. The way I see it, there are two major problems: * XML suc

Funny enough, I was scrolling through an old hard drive of mine about a week ago and on it I found a cli I made in c++ at some point during the first half of the 2000s to solve quadratic equations. I had completely forgotten I ever made it

I have a very similar experience. Truth be told, it is what I have on my car's navigation whenever I know exactly where I'm going: the warnings about traffic jams, stationary radars, police and all that is all I care about. But wh

You are right. That is not to say that discord has a ton of security issues. For example, thousands of people, myself included have been screaming from the top of our lungs for years that sending files over discord creates public links that

Back in 2009 when I got my licence, I was really tempted to buy an '89 BMW e34 which had done 2.5 million kilometers. It was absolutely perfect in every way but I simply could not afford the fuel needed for a 3.5 liter straight six bi-

Fiat as in Polski Fiat? Yes. But for whatever reason they were kinda rare. Lada - yes - that and Moskvich: those were the ones designed to either decapitate you put any healthy human into a semi-vegetative state for the rest of their life.

G's quality has gone down drastically over the years. Back in 2017-18-19 it was unmatched. These days you have to use all sorts of hackery to get it to find what you need. And that goes for most google products I'm afraid. At this

My granddad used to have one up until the late 2000's. Slow, noisy, uncomfortable, stench was unbearable. But worst of all those things were the gear shifts. Funnily enough it was the first car I ever drove - I must have been like 10 o

Idk to be honest. In my case they were being attacked by every pest known to man. Well insects at the very least. Out of 4 plants, only one made it out alive with the help of a dozen types of soil and chemicals to deal with the insects. And

OK, wow! A few years ago I became obsessed with anything spicy. And as such, I went all the way and tried anything I could get my hands on, going all the way to the Carolina reaper. I even bought two plants and managed to grow two peppers m

I've always been a fan of NUC's. I've never had one as a primary computer, but my only windows pc is a NUC 11 enthusiast. I got it a few years ago for around 1000 bucks plus 32 gigs of ram and 1tb nvme. At the time it was the

> unit test suite with >95% test coverage I'm sorry, but that claim is wild. This is nearly impossible unless your application consists of 5 classes and you are moving a few bits in memory. For a large application, anything over

C a toy language? C is arguably the most difficult languages to master from the (relatively) mainstream languages. Far more difficult than C++ imo. I've gone through a lot of C and C++ code over the years and, I'm fully standing b

Honestly? Though I am forced to write go at work, I take Rust in a heartbeat(and it is a constant moaning from my end to ditch go and use Rust all the way almost every day). First thing to keep in mind is that Rust today is nothing like the

Something similar happened to me about a month ago but much more alarming. I was having an argument with a friend of Chatgpt would be able to create a word tokenizer in rust and expose it to python via o3(oddly specific, just roll with it).

Same, I was using it at an old job around that time. I think it was the fact that I we were using it alongside SVN which made me hate it a lot as a side effect. Funny enough, I feel like I'd still take it over jira - the ui is fast whi

Honestly, I'm a big supporter of refurbishing old computers. Admittedly I have 2 usff(1 liter) pc's which I got for less than 100 bucks with some minor upgrades thrown in there(a bit more ram and hard drive) - a Dell Optiplex and

Not entirely surprising. OpenAI has been lurking around the startup realm despite having the finance and people: for years they had no product to bring money in and they had to do something about it. ChatGPT was the perfect place to turn th

Not always. One notable example which left me really impressed was letsenhance.io (admittedly I almost started working for them at one point but ultimately took a different route).

The true issue here is that reddit by design NEVER deletes anything. Ever. It's only levels of visibility. In practice the 4 obvious levels are: * Unregistered users: Public, non-age restricted content(whether that be as a subreddit re

It is worth pointing out that even with a 10/10 sight, moderating reddit is a nightmare. If it wasn't for the mod toolbox plugin, I would have probably resorted to making CLI tools instead(many of which I have since reddit offers

Yes and no. Back in the day having a tiny sbc for any type of small task at home made a ton of sense since they were so incredibly cheap. GPIO, while nice, remained a gimmick for the most part. Fast forward to the 2020's, yes SBC'

Google has the tendency to do this when they aren't the first to set foot on new land. Don't get me wrong, they get a lot of things very right: Gmail works perfectly, I can't find a single reason to change my pixel for anythi

From a technical point of view, they are not. Not by a long shot. Take my current job for example(which coincidentally is one I'm also leaving because of that): At one point we discovered that we spend more time in meetings than actual

Well no. None of these thing are appealing to me. As much as I hate the modern web, admin panels and forms generated server side are dead. Testing has never been an issue. As for security practices, this statement is as subjective as they c
