   I love this! The line “resist the urge to push the difficult bits off to a box of statistics” particularly resonated with me!

   I’m 47 and have been working for over 20 years also and programming for many many more. I see AI used a lot in industry amongst my peers and friends. Personally though I don’t use it. I like the thinking and planning phase and I like the ty

   I do this with my son when we go for a walk through our nearby reserve! I'm trying to teach him about nature and keeping our environment clean and how we live alongside nature and we should take care of it. He's pretty invested no

   I’m always pleasantly surprised when I’m reminded that he and his brother made SRE and BRE. I love hearing that folks from those days are still making great things.

   There were some comments somewhere below about that virality being bought though. I don't know how true that is or where those commenters got their information. If you look at google trends though there is practically no mention of Cla

   He's not really trading anything though. He was hired by OpenAI. OpenClaw will remain free and open source (it's the first line of his blog post). He says that OpenAI will allow him to work on it and already sponsors it so maybe t

   I don’t think that’s necessarily true though. We had that recently (it might have been late last year) where an AI was used to add dwarf support to a project (sorry I forget all the details about the project) and the PR was rejected.

   Same! I mentioned this in another comment but I really loved GTA1+2 and played them a lot, and was disappointed that 3 lost a lot of the charm and humour that I felt was there in 1+2. It was so serious and dark and I didn't connect wit

    I play lots of 3d games and always have (back then I was playing DOOM, Descent, Quake). I really liked the charm of GTA1+2 with the top down view and the (slightly dated) visuals, and the humour and ridiculous over the top vibe of everythin

    I played a lot of GTA1 and a bit of 2 when it came out. I think we used to play it at LAN parties my friends and I had as well. For me that’s where it stopped and I never clicked with GTA3 and onwards!

    Very nice! I made a version of this effect for a little NYE thing years ago [0] (source here [1]). I first saw this effect in Iguana's Blastersound BBS intro [2]. I always thought that intro looked slick! [0] https://www.hor

    Yes that's true. For my use-case I want to render the diagram out to a png though and embed it in a confluence page.

    That's great! I'm pretty interested in that. I hooked up `mark` [1] at work to upload md files to our internal confluence and would love to integrate a native tool to convert Mermaid diagrams to a png rather using mark's buil

    Nice to see native markdown rendering rather than relying on spawning chromium and taking screenshots like some other libraries do!
