The 13th gen apparently has dramatically better battery life, which is great since the battery life otherwise prevented me from buying one. They spent a lot of time optimizing it both in hardware and software.

This case looks great. Love that we have replaceable graphics on this one. I’m most excited for the ortholinear keyboard attachment. That makes it a must-buy for me, since after switching to a Kinesis Advantage I just can’t type on a stagge

We use it for devshells, and it’s awesome. New devs install nix and direnv and they instantly have all the right versions of all of our tooling. A first day setup process is now done in minutes instead of a day. Flakes made it possible for

Potentially ActivityPub fixes this. I can comment and like on any Lemmy/kbin server from my own account on a totally different server. If we wanted a forum, it would just need a new UI layer fit for purpose, reminiscent of phpbb, and b

You can also use something like zigup to make fetching the latest master/managing multiple versions easier.

Using plus(a,b) for complex types sounds fine to me… I have to imagine if I were working with a huge file of these for a while it would start to feel normal, just like every language has a different syntax but you eventually feel comfortabl

I also have a ~$70 black-and-white Brother laser printer which is more than a decade old at this point. Never had a single issue or complaint with it.

Multi-line strings are another weakness. Sometimes you don’t\nwant\nto\nwrite\nthis\nway.

Sure, for now. Until people are accustomed to this system and it's just a "small update to policy" they hope goes unnoticed in 12 months' time. Quite literally the same company is trying to neuter adblocking with Manifes

Love this concept and signed up immediately. Heads up that your plaintext emails in the newsletter have some html formatting and template artifacts in there.

I guess I don’t understand why you feel they’re “forcing it on users.” Just don’t look at the results it generates or use ublock origin to filter the AI response off the page?

This weekend I used ChatGPT to: 1. Help select a data structure for a very specific use-case given certain constraints, generate a first pass of the code, and help debug it. 2. Recommend a recipe for the exact set of ingredients I had on ha

Having managed both in production at decent scale for years, I would not choose MySQL for any projects going forward. Postgres has been more dependable in its performance, more powerful in its features. There’s no “pro” to choosing MySQL th

Awesome, I will do some more digging into this. Thanks for the thoughtful reply!

I think you're right. My hope was that it could reason through the problem using knowledge from related sources like C and an understanding below the syntax of what was actually happening. But it most certainly did not.

My experience with GPT-4 has been really disappointing. It didn't feel like a step up from 3.5. As an example, I've been trying to use it to learn Zig since the official docs are ... spartan. And I've said, "here's

I believe you, but I haven't encountered anything like this in my work in a higher-level language, and this is my first push into manual memory management since I studied C in college many years ago. Can you offer some examples of time

I’d like to chime in on the all-fields-are-public debate. If I’m a library author and release something which exports a struct… I can never change any of the struct’s internal data structures? I can never rename a field. Or delete a field.

I absolutely love the first reply. "Depends on what you mean by 'soon'. Probably not this year." That was 18 years ago. That comment is old enough to vote.

Copilot definitely makes me much less productive, since it breaks my flow on every line. I give it a -50%. It is both very dumb and very loud. It feels like I'm pair programming with a 1st year CS student who pipes up on _every single

I couldn’t stream YouTube videos on 1080p without terrible stutters when I tried the Pi4 a few years ago. Has that been fixed?

Where in this case the “speculative investments” are bank deposits and T-bills.

It’s quite simple, really. Startups should buy hundreds of millions in gold, then stash that under 160,000 different mattresses to diversify risk of a systemic bank collapse. If Bogglehead retirees can figure that out, why not startups?

Well, yeah, that’s why SVB no longer exists, all the execs are canned, and shareholders are losing their shirts. But depositors trusting a highly rated bank with a 40-year history shouldn’t be a “big bet” or gamble. For the risks startups t

If you’re going to get a line of credit against your cash, the bank requires you to have the cash with them.
