Sure, in competent hands. Problem is that most people don't seem to realize that in order to use AI for something, you have to be pretty good at that thing already.

I've always seen AI as Brandolini's Law as a Service. I'm spending an unreasonable amount of time debunking false claims and crap research from colleagues who aren't experts in my field but suddenly feel like they need t

Obviously, to each their own, but to me, this is an overwhelming amount of commands to remember on top of all the ones they are composed of that you will likely need to know anyway — regardless if all the custom ones exist. Like, I'd h

Yeah, I'm having trouble spotting the "nasty". I'm not saying it's not there, but if someone more knowledgeable about malicious Javascript/Node could explain a bit that would be much appreciated. Pretty conveni

Yeah, Windows Sandbox is available on Win 10/11 Pro and Enterprise and it's actually pretty neat. I used to use it in a previous job where I was forced to run Windows. However, I think OP might be using WSL and I'm not sure t

The argument was that most of the mentioned problems could be solved by quoting the values. I don't have a problem with avoiding "on" as a key, and I apparently haven't used it ever, because I've never run into this

> Almost all of this is solved by basically putting quotes around strings. Yeah, that was my first thought as well. I personally don't mind YAML, but I've also made a habit out of quoting strings. And, I mean, you're quoti

Hey, man! Thanks for the awesome launcher. It's made my phone so much more useful to me. It finally feels like the tool it is. Is there any way to support the development — financially or otherwise?

I appreciate it. But it sounds kinda weird to say "better fork" when you aren't sure of the actual differences and tell people to go figure it out for themselves. Could also be that 0launcher has changed over the past four or

That looks neat. I don't remember ever seeing any ads in the original though, so I'm a bit confused about what they removed. Regardless, having the choice is always good.

Where I work it's a solution looking for a problem, and we're heavily encouraged to implement it even if there's no real problem for it to solve, because "we're obligated to give it a try". I'm not sure wh

I'm assuming it's a simple MCU that registers as a USB keyboard and types out the commands followed by Enter. If it's supposed to do commit + push in one press, then I wonder how it handles commit messages?

Been using Vimium for years too and it's great, but it's really not the same. The late, great Vimperator extension was more comparable to QuteBrowser but it stopped functioning (on Firefox) when they switched from XUL to web exten

Many password managers allow you to set up emergency access (as it's named in Bitwarden) that'll let a contact access your vault by request after a certain wait time during which you can either manually accept or decline the reque

I agree. Making it OSS would definitely fit the spirit of their business, IMO, but the best we can do for now is to suggest that they open source it and hope.

Yay, PayPal let me through. I just had to turn off uBlock Origin and Privacy Badger... But for Bram, I'm ok with it.

by lillesvin 3y ago
This is a great idea. Bram has made a huge positive impact on the world, even if most people aren't aware of it. I'd love to help make it even bigger. Edit: Hmm... PayPal seems to throw error after error at me when I try to donate

I would imagine that a normal visit generates more backend traffic, given that it needs to fetch posts, thumbnails, etc. whereas a visit to a private sub wouldn't need to check more than authorization. I could easily be wrong though, I

Even though the phrase "the godfather of ..." suggests otherwise, it's really not a competition or an attempt to determine the exact origin of "close-up card magic", it's just acknowledging the fact that Juan T

Is Ruby Gems a first party thing now? I remember, back in the day, being tangentially involved with creating a Ruby package manager before Gems had become the de facto standard.
