It's well worth subscribing to the tz updates mailing list, not just to be cognisant of timezone changes, but to add a bit of bemusement to your day.

I see a future where I program at work less, which is sad but c'est la vie. I think the challenge of the job will be heralding and managing my own context for larger codebases managed by smaller teams, and finding ways to allow for mor

I enjoyed the actual entrepreneurial endeavoring in the show, but I would have preferred if it was a bit drier. Would be interesting to see a series based on Skunk Works.

Is the idea here that you should make a very clear and well documented API because you expect customer agents to automatically make contracts with you to use your API? Just sommer skipping the process of evaluating you as a vendor? Maybe vi

Thank you to OP for writing a "LLM assisted coding" usage report which feels humble and honest. I'm in an evaluation phase myself and I find it very difficult to find good evaluations from typical developers.

I've seen it many times. I think it often arises in business that are not very technical at their core.

I don't want to go into details of my work project too much, but the fundamental issue is that ElixirLS only supports 1.12+ (at least last time I checked).

I'm now working on a real world legacy Elixir project in my day job and man oh man do I miss well defined types. Coming from Go, it makes a huge difference to my productivity when I'm able to click through fields and find usages o

My dad was in a similar situation a couple months ago. He has been very obese for decades, which started after he stopped smoking. He does not eat fast food, has long ago cut out sugar and he favors whole foods in his diet. It was getting a

It probably depends on how far back one started using Linux on desktop. For me that was a while ago.

Quote from your link: "It is not clear yet which Xfce release will target a complete Xfce Wayland transition (or if such a transition will happen at all)."

I'm a longtime fan of XFCE. I try all sorts of DEs from time to time on spare computers, but I reliably come back to XFCE, which is really just a fairly low-resource, stable embodiment of the classic GNOME feel. I used mainline Ubuntu

At the last few places I've worked, we've seen most users engaging with our mobile app, and so it has made sense to develop a mobile app with flutter or kotlin multiplatform (or similar) for our broad userbase and then to use good

If one likens coding to carpentry, then enterprise software development at a small company is not building a beautiful carved coffee table, it's more akin to the contents of a farm workshop. I'm talking about shelves and tables an

If the production is similar to the PT2 watches, then there will be public beta testing before watches are shipped.

Yes, no more bezel cuts off the details. What is meant is that does not have the big bezel of the original Pebble Round.

Its not a replacement for a physically seperate backup, so putting stuff in the cloud is good (though I'm sure it will get expensive, depending on how much you store). I use SnapRAID for replication personally, because I like the flexi

I made a similar program for myself, except that the data it stores and works on is the raw CSV exports from my bank. The program interprets and projects the data. If the program fails to interpret a transaction, it fails totally and says w

AI upscaling can also be done during playback, to the benefit of lower file sizes, but at the cost of higher processor utilisation. So it is a trade-off.

Do youngins even know why AVI files are under 700mb? I think obsessions over quality/compression are the concern of us aging hobbyist encoders. Unless one lives in a country where the internet is slow and/or hard drives are expen

I remember using Gordian Knot to create avi files from my DVDs back when XviD was the pragmatic method for encoding videos, and the whole goal was to get movies under 700mb so that you could write them to a CD. Avisynth and community filter

Sure - if you don't want to do demosaicing on the camera, that's fine. It doesn't mean there is not an algorithm there as an option. If you care about trying to get an image that is as accurate as possible to the scene, then

Upon further reading, I think I am wrong here. My confusion was that I read that over 60% of the cones in ones eye are "red" cones (which is a bad generalization), and there is more nuance here. Given equal power red, blue, or gre

ML demosaicing algorithms (e.g. convolutional neural networks) are the state of the art for reversing camera color filters, and this was true back when I did my post-grad studies on the subject almost 10 years ago, not to mention all the ot

The bit about the green over-representation in camera color filters is partially correct. Human color sensitivity varies a lot from individual to individual (and not just amongst individuals with color blindness), but general statistics ind

Its a tradeoff, because operators will use some of your cluster's resources of course, but I get you.
