Julius Caesar made the dang calendar. People had a lot of free time.

I completely agree. The author is attributing apathy to every action or inaction of everybody they see. Just take the banal examples, like the person listening to their headphones. Maybe that person is listening to an audio book about medic

This is why asylums should not have been closed in the US. An asylum, when carefully and humanely run, is exactly the kind of place where the self can heal, or where the incurable can find respite.

Yeah parent comment might have missed that. RM2 gives you root access to a dead simple Linux system running on the device. There's literally nothing better than that. There's also a whole community of app developers for the RM, R

100% agree, but I think the author was try to keep their description concise. I have worked with people who will readily schedule a meeting when an issue arises, but won't do the actual work to run that meeting, and it just ends up bei

Can you explain what people are using this prompt for? I literally have no idea from the readme.

At sufficient complexity, LLM prompts are indistinguishable from schizophrenic rambling.

Not only that, but the placebo effect is one of the most reliably powerful effects in all of medicine. It's not just a form of solace, it is often a critical part of recovery. In many cases it is more important to receive an "effe

This is the best method I've found for managing emacs config complexity. I have thousands of lines of configuration in a single file, but the whole structure feels "not that big" because it is all organized into a logical hie

I don't use org-agenda or calendar or anything. I also find them inconvenient. I just use org-mode for writing and organizing documents. Lecture notes, programming exercises, book notes, README's, daily TODO lists, journaling, and

I meant to say "learning", not "using", that's my mistake. > Suppose I'm working on a dynamic C or C++ project Most beginners are not, that's my point. Those technologies are fine if you need them, but

This tutorial is painfully out of date, and I would argue a very bad way to learn emacs today. As an example, don't learn to use ETags unless you are going to specifically be working with a C project where other developers use them. Yo

It's the arity of the function. In Erlang there are no variadic functions, but functions with different arities can have the same name, so universal_server/0 takes no arguments, fib/1 takes 1 argument, fib/2 takes 2 argu

Meta comment, but godly.website itself is a very well-executed web app. Super snappy site here.

Great site! Definitely should not be paginated though. Just put them all on one page.

This is correct. The work is "all rights reserved" unless explicitly stated otherwise. This has even been applied to projects that began with no license, but added one later on. An original author on some open source software can

Not OP, but for me but for me it eliminates one more decision - naming. I don't want to think about class names or follow a convention like BEM (and probably set up linter rules so I don't do it wrong). I like sscs / BEM in s

MIT's entire reputation was _made_ by the military. It was a no name school before the contracts of WWII/The Cold War, e.g. the prominent radar lab https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIT_Radiation_Laboratory

It absolutely does benefit me to save time, because writing css by hand is one of the most soul-crushingly boring tasks imaginable. Sure my employer also benefits, but that's only if I use that saved time to write more code. Maybe I us

"Truth" is not something that can be discerned even in the absence of misinformation. It is a constantly evolving and negotiated equilibrium between the individual and their environment through the imperfect filter of perception.

I don't remember where the idea came from, but I heard a hypothesis that basically posited this precise thing. If you look at linguistic history many (if not most) of our words derive ultimately from some analogy to another thing or id

All of Michael Sugrue's (former Princeton professor) lectures on YouTube are phenomenal. They single-handedly inspired me to study philosophy. His style is eloquent but off-the-cuff, he is so knowledgeable and ties together the history

So Deno is relying on native ESM imports in production code? Isn't that exactly what Vite _doesn't_ do, because of poor performance? When you run the vite dev server it uses ESM, but when you build it uses rollup, because serving

The biggest hurdle for beginners when using built-in IDE debuggers in my experience is the requirement to set up the debug run configuration to properly execute their program. Even though this amounts essentially to "how do you run the

I guess it depends on whether this current wave of AI becomes a better tool (like CAD), or a human-replacer (like autolooms). I personally would LOVE to use advanced AI as a tool to write software, and I see this as the more likely scenario

Eh, just steer clear of hardcore churches and you'll be good. Mormon, Jehovah's Witness, Catholic, Orthodox, Baptist are going to be too intense for a first-time churchgoer, but plenty of other Protestant churches are very liberal

I'm really interested in setting this up also. Can you briefly explain how you set this up with direnv? Looks like that's just for loading environment files, not launching processes?
