I think for me at least, the difference between "programming for fun/own projects" and "programming for work" goes deeper than the difference between say a company with neutral/bad values and a company you migh

Haha, that's actually something I've been doing for years as well. Had jaw issues from underdevelopment and premolar extractions since 2011. Only discovered that it was a known thing and started getting treatment in 2023 though.

Yes - basically I encountered all of the example situations on the page and knocked up the initial version in a day or so (originally for the "PHP API" scenario specifically). I did add some extra features like setting your own na

I was thinking about the commit mask thing recently but imagining it as a part of Git, or an extension.The project I'm on at the moment is a big legacy codebase that requires a bunch of dev-only code changes for: - functionality (setti

How would you not build the whole frontend in JS though? Use another compile-to-JS language?

I was wondering if that was a thing but no. It does have a little panel for more advanced operations and a toggle to invert them (roots, logs, exponents etc) but seemingly no reciprocal.

There was some interesting discussion around what data structures you should store at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40933110 (Engineering principles for building financial systems).

Yes! I was just thinking of this. My thinking started along the lines of tech workers getting together to apply for jobs, discussing who would be best for each role etc, so instead of each role getting 100 varying quality applications it ge

The image of the flattened out brain could use some illustrations, or more specific instructions on what we should be visualising. > First, if you look at a cross-section of the brain (eye-level with the table) I thought it was flat on t

Does this affect infectious prion diseases as well, or just the genetic ones? Article makes it sound like everyone has the prion protein gene, so not sure what the different etiologies are. My understanding was that prions were just self-re

I'm not sure how much of it is people being (irrationally) scared vs. looking into native APIs and making the call that it just isn't worth it, given how much messing around you have to do to get basic functionality working vs. th

Regarding the types, I think it's easy to fall into the trap of thinking you have to try and force the domain concept into one of the commonly available data structures at the point of creation, i.e. the price "£3.99" has to

Hmm, interesting. What advantages do you see of using JSX for querying over the old jQuery-style $("#id").append(...)? Did you consider doing something more like that, but allowing JSX instead of HTML strings like it was done in j

What's censored/politically correct about ARC? Or do you mean AGI research in general?

Hmm, semi-wild dogs seems less likely to me as they'd have to hang around settlements to get food, in which case they'd get noticed and dealt with. Unless you mean they can hunt in packs and take down sheep?

by gushogg-blake 2y ago
Yeah, could have been a dog. I would say a dog with a human and we just didn't see the person's tracks is more likely than escaped though as we were miles from the nearest house and I think an escaped dog would have had the sense

I was camping and hitchhiking in the Lakes with a friend about 12 years ago. We aimed to get over High Street (a large hill) and to the next bothy within a day but it was harder than we expected, so we ended up setting off down the other si

Note that correcting an underbite by extracting/retracting teeth will likely make sleep apnea worse. Make sure you consult an airway focused orthodontist, not just any orthodontist, as many are unaware of these issues.

You're right, I'm not sure why I said that. Still, I've definitely felt more "on my own" with dentistry as I've not always been able to register with an NHS dentist and in general they seem like they can do wha

I didn't know about Lezer. I think I probably would have used it if I'd known - or at least tried it before Tree-sitter, as WASM obviously brings in extra complexity. Having used Lezer and CodeMirror a bit on a different project,
