   It looks awesome, but I'm too lazy as of today to go back to Emacs. I usually just use VSCode close to the defaults for my (mostly) Python and JavaScript development. I don't code full time, since I'm on a CTO role.

   That's funny because I'm working on a Yocto project and I'm thinking of porting it to Nix.

   You are assuming that software always improves as its development moves forward. It might not. It might even get more insecure as time passes.

   Yesterday, while using ChatGPT-4, it gave me a very long answer almost instantly. It felt like I was using ChatGPT-3.5, including the poor quality of the answer. In the following prompts, it became slow again, as GPT-4 is supposed to be. Th

   I sometimes wonder what a modern desktop would look like if every app had the Motif look. I wonder if the consistency of this experience would surpass the subjective ugliness of it.

   From the FAQ: > Does it use ChatGPT ? > Yes, your chatbot uses ChatGPT (gpt-4). We are planning to support other models in the future. It's not necessarily privacy-aware (and it doesn't claim to be).

   I don't care if Boris Johnson is good or evil. I don't even know why I now know this name. I want those neurons back! :D

   I get this a lot on Twitter. There is a very interesting tech account that I follow that half the time is complaining about British politics. It's really frustrating, since I don't want to ditch the tech posts

    I've tried to use Acme as well and the mouse chords were very difficult to use. I guess it needs an old-school three button mouse (gamer mouses with side buttons didn't help).

    On a side note, I'm a CTO and I'm being seduced by Oracle's sales people due to their extremely low prices in my region. I'm on Azure and it's getting expensive. Can someone with actual experience using Oracle as a

    I remember that the initial levels of Far Cry 1 were amazing jungle/beach scenarios that enabled a lot of different strategies for overcoming the smart human enemies. The last levels, however, were all inside claustrophobic buildings w

    I'm currently using Linux due to this kind of hostile behavior from Microsoft on Windows. However, we are power users and the big masses won't care about an ever increasing misalignment between the users' needs and Microsoft&

    I wonder if we could get a sane Windows experience if ReactOS was a little bit more advanced in its drivers support. Microsoft's incentives with Windows are clearly not aligned with the customers'.

    How's D1 meant to be used, since it has a very small maximum size (100mb I believe)? Should I create one database per user, for example? Genuine question.
