People willing to put in an effort to acquire and lovingly conserve the media of interest to them are often the people who really care about that media. They are often the most eager to support the creators of different media. Which is extr

Question - what is the lowest cost way to do something like this? Imagine one was prepared to go in whatever direction, regardless of difficulty. Can the pros weigh in here?

There's no ruling out a flying spaghetti monster being orbited by a flying teacup floating in space on the dark side of Pluto either, but we aren't basing our species' survival on the chance that we might discover it there so

I'd change that line near the end to: The only people that often value quality are engineers. I might even add that the overwhelming majority of engineers are happy to sacrifice quality - and ethics generally - when the price is righ

You can criticise things, but if you are effective, or if you criticise the wrong thing, you risk jail, harassment, ostracisation, threats, campaigns of vilification and slander, etc. Your doctor visits and lawyer visits will be surveille

I'd be interested to know more about a team that uses Nix and Guix. Is there a website or email an interested party can contact?

Agreed on Guix. Used it for a few years, absolutely loved it, excited to go back (had to move off for unimportant and unrelated reasons). Would love to hear from someone who has used both though. I've never seen an excellent, detailed

Apologies, I was unclear. I mean that the law and what people do are two seperate affairs. When people act like law dictates reality I'm always perplexed. Here, if you say your Tesla drives you to work hands-free, I've no problem

Any text (book, essay, blog, comment) which includes any lines of unedited LLM output should come with a statement saying so. Even if the whole thing was very carefully edited and reviewed and the author is certain there's no obvious t

There's a lot of ignoring your question and telling an anecdote - some nice anecdotes, though. I'd guess the answer is yes. If someone (somehow) gets into a junior dev role, has no to little experience, and hunts and pecks 20 word

Well? Are they? Unrelatedly, what's the law on texting, answering a call, and just quickly checking a message while driving? All crimes, I guess?

First you misquote me in an oddly obvious and low-effort way, now another inane comment - how can the nature of this account have any relevance? You wrote a comment implying what's wrong with Nix is the language, and stating that there

I'm not an LLM proselytiser but this makes no sense? It would almost make sense if someone were claiming there are only two possible games, the old one and the new one, and never any more. Who claims that?
