The meta here is to use LLMs to make things simpler and easier, not to make things harder. Turning tokens into a well-groomed and maintainable codebase is what you want to do, not "one shot prompt every new problem I come across".

Unless it's a key that needs to be sortable (e.g. insertion order) or a metric/descriptor of some kind, I'm not sure why UUID would be overused or inappropriate for use.

i always worry about tools like this, maintained by small teams, that are so universal that even if only a small fraction of installs are somehow co-opted by malicious actors, you have a wide open attack surface on most tech companies. e.g.

The question is, are we storing the state of a chess game, or the state of a chess board? If a game, you might also include timers or other state as well, including full position history.

This is great, I've been looking for an easy to use local chat app for me and my kids, and Adium on Bonjour has been flaky with my VLAN setup at home. Will have to give this a try...

Isn't circular funding how the entire economy works? I can see how you could make an argument that this particular ouroboros has an insufficient loop area to sustain itself, or more significantly, lacks connection to the rest of the ec

I think the correct strategy in this case is to return your laptop to the store if it has linux compatibility issues, and keep trying until you find one that works. i.e. don't support vendors whose laptops don't work in Linux.

Its not a problem with Linux, it's a problem with laptop manufacturers not caring about designing their ACPI tables and firmware correctly.

by jmole 11mo ago
It's ACPI - most laptops ship with half-broken ACPI tables, and provide support for tunables through windows drivers. It's convenient for laptop manufacturers, because Microsoft makes it very easy to update drivers via windows upd

I thought this article would first start with the most essential question: "How to decide what you need on your devboard". Without that critical piece of design work, you may as well call this "How to build a Raspberry Pi Nan

Great, so it sounds like installing unpermitted solar at your house is about as illegal as jaywalking, and you probably shouldn't worry about it so much.

"I built my house without any inspection or licensing and connected to the electric grid" Where exactly do you live? I'm not saying you're lying, but this smells like a tall tale. You can easily buy solar panels and batt

Not sure about you, but when I submit a “contact us” form, I am about 10% sure someone will actually read it. When I send an email that isn’t bounced back, or better yet, get an auto reply with a ticket number, I’m a lot more certain it’s g

Is there any intrinsic value whatsoever in the DNA or SNPs themselves? Or is it just the link between your name and your DNA that is so concerning? It seems like you could do lots of useful things without having a name attached to any parti

That would be a great argument if you could actually install apps from outside the Apple App Store.

"No user ratings and reviews" - that just means you rank last in app store search, right? Apple will do whatever they can to ensure that developers that don't pay will suffer the costs.

This is so cool. I modified the script so that the countries are a bit darker (#777), and I found that it helped the borders pop a lot more. It would probably be equally interesting to play this game with no borders at all. Not to scope cre
