I did consider this, but I'm curious: what are you doing that you need to watch a video out of internet range, that you couldn't have done while testing things out while in range? Isn't it risky trying something for the first

They could decouple the video download from the app download. Then they could even update the video independently if needed. Not everyone that downloads the app needs the videos, and even the ones that do I’m sure would be happier to reclai

Excuse me while I prima facie dismiss a kindergartner’s opinion on what is an “objectively” superior/inferior system. It’s your opinion and prerogative, don’t try to masquerade it as settled truth.

At least in this case, it’s indeed quite Orwellian.

I did recently try to use an LLM to make a twinkling christmas tree quine in the style of qlobe. It didn’t get close, maybe next year!

Conversely, one is not necessarily a prerequisite for the other.

I haven’t, so far I’ve only looked into ones that require terminal emulation and I’ve never loved how that works in emacs.

Mobile developer here. I historically am an emacs user so am used to living in a terminal shell. My current setup is a split pane terminal with one half running claude and the other running emacs for light editing and magit. I run one per t

Aside from the fact that you have no real job security anywhere , people take FAANG jobs for money. Both the high pay at the company itself, and the idea that once FAANG is on your resume, it will command the best jobs afterwards too. I th

It’s the same here in Fairbanks. We also have an Outback that we drove here when we moved a decade ago (towing a trailer, no less). That and the Prius both handle fabulously with winter tires. Since I only use the truck for hauling, it’s al

Alaska checking in. Nobody is hauling a skidoo around here in a van. You also won’t see anyone towing a trailer with one or two machines with anything other than a truck, because nothing else is going to hack it in the mountains with all th

Apple’s support for 3rd party keyboards is notoriously difficult to work with. It’s not surprising to me that we don’t see many high quality alternatives.

I still refer to doing it on iPhone as swyping. The portmanteau has permanently genericized in my brain. Those were the days!

I dream of the day I don’t have to work for anyone else, and I dream of the things I can create after that day comes.

My guess would be that the long list is maybe not self contained features (although still can be, I know I have more feature ideas than I can deliver in the next couple years myself), but behaviors or requirements of one or a handful of pro

Your original comment doesn't add anything substantive to the conversation, and would've been better served by simply upvoting the link, or other comments. It could even come off as sarcastic to certain people, it's hard to k

This feels like one of those PEMDAS posts on facebook where everyone comes to different results and argues endlessly about it. So let me add my 2¢: if you have 100K in equity and owe 200K on your mortgage, then you’re net -100K on your hous

I too like the simple nature. If you care about highly performant code, you can always challenge yourself (I got into measuring timing in the second season I participated). Personally I prefer a world like this. Not everyone should have to

Another solution that’s already used to help mitigate increased stop frequency is express routes that connect farther endpoints together.

Anyone who has actually known and dealt with heroin addicts can see that the only joke here is the hyperbolic outburst you’ve put on display.

And imagine if we had the same requirements to write software as we do to perform surgery! Things would be very different.

Yeah, it's different, I was thinking about a time I needed to combine to separate repos into one. To do that, you clone one of them, then add a remote to the other one, fetch that, and `pull --rebase` or similar, and you'll replay

by mckn1ght 1y ago
Is this something the remote can control? I figured it was on the local cloner to decide. Can’t test it now but wonder if this is changed if it affects the remote name for fresh clones: https://git-scm.com/docs/git-conf

Whenever I fork a repo I rename origin to “fork” and then add the parent repo as a remote named “upstream” so i can pull from that, rebase any of my own changes in to, and push to fork as needed. Multiple remotes is also how you can combine

Sadly couldn’t. I was able to get free shipping from a distributor in San Antonio to Tacoma, then transshipped it to Alaska with Carlile. And same story there though, forklift right into the truck bed!

Yep, snow load is a concern, but they’re mounted at a high angle due to our latitude. That does however increase wind load, and we’re located in somewhat of a gulley that funnels wind. I saw a friend’s professionally installed ground mount
