Just leave your phone at home and bring a plain old small digital camera, agree ahead of time with friends on when and where to meet up. It's interesting to me and i guess showing my age that this isn't self evident to everyone ev

the world isn't perfect, you do what you can. Just take a small RunCam or something and keep in it your pocket and be discreet when you're using it.

i can see what they mean. Another way to think about it is like how adding a lane to a highway doesn't decrease traffic it increases it. There's no shortage of demand in densely populated areas otherwise they wouldn't be dens

idk how this would work effectively. There's lots of affordable homes they're just located where no one wants to live. You'd have to focus on HCOL locations and make them not so high cost which seems something that should be

I'll never forget one of my freshman "intro to engineering" courses in college the professor spent probably 15 min on the very first day going on about peak oil and how we were all doomed. He said this to a class full of kids

Wouldn't compilation during the build process be ROT? As in, "Right On Time" compilation? Build is where the compilation step is usually performed.

i think most developers would be surprised how small a part writing code actually plays in making money in software development. If you look at a piechart of the effort/time involved in making contact with a client, contracting, delive

yeah i was a little confused by the suggestion. If a client hands you a laptop to use for a project then there's corp. policy reasons why you have to use it as a contractor. (some companies have serious teeth in these policies) It woul

I’m a fan of SQLite but just want to point out there’s no reason you can’t have Postgres or some other rdbms on the same machine as the webserver too. It’s just another program running in the background bound to a port similar to the web se

My two kids absolutely do not trust open social media (thankfully). My 16 year old has a IMessage group with his friends as well as a discord and that’s it. My 13 year old just uses iMessage with his friend group. My wife and I have taught

To me, as just another kinda old (I’m 49) swe, the biggest benefit of using an LLM tool is it saves a shit ton of typing. I know what I want and I know when it’s right, just saving me from typing it all out is worth $20 bucks a month.

by chasd00 10mo ago
I have to admit, LLMs do save a lot of typing a d associated syntax errors. If you know what you want and can spot and fix mistakes made by the LLM then they can be pretty useful. I don’t think it’s wise to use them for development if you a

My very gaming experienced and data oriented 13 year old wants to switch from Nvidia to AMD. I don’t understand all his reasons/numbers but I suppose that’s as good an endorsement as any for AMDs GPUs.

I agree, if we’re going have universal surveillance then the data must be universally accessible.

Just fyi, you can put whatever you want in /etc/hosts, it gets hit before the resolver. So you can run your website on localhost with your regular host name over https.

you're right it's not continuous, you'd have to send another ping once the first one is finished. Your data is only "stored in the network" until the ping completes which would be a few hundred ms or so and then ano

LLMs are great at spewing content and code is a form of "content". I think what we're seeing is software development turning into youtube. Content creators cranking out content, some is great, most is meh, a lot is really bad

Yeah this is a strange way to define "banned books". I would think Hustler has to be universally "banned" in all US schools, it has to be in the top 10 most banned books. Or maybe because it's a magazine Hustler doe

I never thought of using localhost like that, I'm surprised that works actually. Typically, if you want a private /8 you would use 10.0.0.0/8 but the standard 192.168.0.0/16 gives you a lot of address space ( 255^2 - 2 I

The point i wanted to make was that "Ford F150" means many and very different things, more so than your average vehicle. Even a Civic or Corvette.
