My last job was a mix of Ruby, Python, Bash, SQL, and Javascript (and CSS and HTML). One or two jobs before that it was all those plus a smattering of C. A few jobs before that it was C# and Perl.

Me writing code is me spending 3/4 of my time wading through documentation and google searches. It's absolutely hell on my ADD. My ability to memorize is absolutely garbage. Throughout my career I've worked in like 10 differe

That's why you treat it like a junior dev. You do the fun stuff of supervising the product, overseeing design and implementation, breaking up the work, and reviewing the outputs. It does the boring stuff of actually writing the code. I

I have heard that in many scenarios it is faster to load uncompressed assets directly rather than load+decompress. Load time is prioritized over hard drive space so you end up with the current situation.

Is it dependent on the resolution your running, or is it the size of all textures that need to be cached in RAM? The amount of data needed to framebuffer 1080p vs 4K isn't that great

People are too harsh on this. It's not hard to install a version manager and set your primary python to that. Which is just good hygiene. My understanding of the reasoning is that python-based system packages having dependencies manage

Yes, much like how most software for PC has been written since the beginning of time?

Ha, seconded. I hate how acronyms get repeated between domains. Makes for very confusing reading if you're not part of the in-group.

So you're one of those people trying to attach history to everything! Yeah I am sure lots of people want their pornhub history integrated into AI... If that is the "future" (gag), we better be able to opt out

I guess it's great if you don't give a shit about code quality, particularly in a larger project. What I see are three tiny little projects that do one thing. That is boring. We already know the LLMs are good at that. Let's s

A lot of open-source plugins include CLAP builds. u-he's stuff (Diva, Repro, Zebra) has CLAP builds. As another comment mentioned, I guess FabFilter plugs support CLAP now? It is niche but I am watching it closely as I would love to ge

Watching my website's firewall and ssh logs show all the various hacking attempts is calming in the same way that watching waves crash on to the shore is.

Back in the day, I made the mistake of hooking up a fresh Windows XP (at least I think it was; pre-SP2) install directly to the internet. There was no firewall or NAT to protect me. The machine got pwned almost immediately.

This needs to be boosted more to this community; WE are creating the tools of our own oppression. The folks at the top know how susceptible we are to being nerd-sniped and how readily we will build these things for them.

I'm questioning this abuse of the term "abusers". It frames the arguments about this situation in bad faith.

It's hilarious just how much of a witchhunt on AI is kicked off from a bunch of vague heuristics. Writing this as someone who likes using em dash and now I have to watch that habit because everyone is obsessed with sniffing out AI. Cli

I find gemini 2.5 pro starts losing its shit around 50K tokens, using Roo Code. Between Roo's system prompt and my AGENTS.md there's probably about 10k used off the bat. So I have about 30-40k tokens to complete whatever task I as

Yeah and now we have a fragmented ecosystem. If the projects were placed under RubyCentral's management and active contributors' access is restored I don't see a big deal. Yes the manner in which it was handled was really bad
