Would be nice to see some more concrete data/references. This is a big claim. I mean, if it is "basically the same" but "faster and requires fewer examples" you can just say that it's "strictly better"

Interesting. But, TBH, it seems pretty obvious in the hindsight: it's a huge red flag that the travel history in the same passport is not self-consistent (as a result of using different passports for entering and leaving the same count

That's ridiculously stretched. Russia is huge. Plenty of choice of "where you've been to". And you absolutely don't have to answer anything about where you've been to in Russia, because it's actually not

How would they ever know if you won't outright tell them yourself (like being a famous person an posting your itinerary on the instagram)? They'll see you've been to Russia, if you use the same passport for both visas, which

Did you ever consider that USAians are not really a democracy and their understanding of the world is severely warped by their media? It is 100% true, by the way.

I don't get what it does, exactly? This doesn't seem to be an OBS alternative (judging by the description), but… I mean, isn't it exactly the same as just running OBS directly?

Same. I was just using (heavily customized) vim for many many years, and was kinda ok, but then I eventually switched to IntelliJ products at work, and while I don't really like the idea of using a product with subscription, I cannot q

Thanks, this is something to consider at least. However, it doesn't convince me still. While I understand your problem, this problem doesn't really occur in my workflow, so a tool that encourages this workflow doesn't seem ap

I've read it, but it doesn't quite answer my question. What I'm hearing is basically "well, it's nicer". Sure, I can believe that even not delving into the subject, because pretty much everything is nicer than

Props to you, but this doesn't change my mind. VCS is intrinsically meant as a collaboration tool. If something goes wrong "jj did it" won't be a good excuse. If one needs to communicate his workflow to another, he bette

This. It's not like we are looking for something slightly better than git in some opinionated way. There's plenty better than git. Mercurial is better than git and as old as git. Git won. Everybody uses git. Everyone who knows, h

Obviously this is not a clear-cut question (one might even call it a political question, and those are notoriously no clear-cut), but this is hardly a valid defence. Because if you consider it valid, you can go however far you like using th

Thanks. Indeed, it doesn't directly answer my question. For one, the author seems to be failing the "Chesterton's fence" test here: it doesn't even try to answer what langchain is supposed to be good at, but ends

Well, I mean, it appears langchain just technically doesn't support structured response for Ollama (according to the link above). But, as I've said, I have absolutely no idea what all this middle-layer stuff actually does and what

I'm more interested in technical side of this, but I'm not seeing any links to GitHub with the source code of this project. Anyway, I have a tangential question, and this is the first time I see langchain, so may be a stupid one.

Cool. Why, though? I mean, it's not like this project has any practical value anyway, but wouldn't it be actually easier and more efficient to actually implement a C compiler in VimScript? Or is the vimscript ELVM backend the actu

I don't see how that is a pattern. Rather, it's a new name to an old thing: writing a virtual machine or an JIT-compiler. And no, interpreter is not a "special case of plan-execute pattern": by definition, if data struct

I think there may already exist a jq alternative for every letter of English alphabet. Why not just make a tool that specializes at transcoding csv/json/xml/protobuf/etc, and leave querying to any of dozens of these ut

That's pretty weak defense of rebase. It almost seems like an attempt to promote the opposite. To "squash my disordered commits into a neat little one" is like the only bad and questionable practice involving the word "
