BYOL gets criticized, and folks recommend other texts over it, but as someone who has worked through both BYOL and Crafting Interpreters I can say they both provide value. BYOL is nice because it’s short and quick (you can power through it

What kind of issues?

There’s a fair amount of “duplicated” costs. For example, if you’ve got a large observability push internally you’re not shutting down the existing system and are likely experimenting with multiple routes. Instrumentation etc takes time so

A new private-public key pair is generated, the public key is your user identifier (sort of), and the private key is stored on your device (browser or phone). You're logging in by proving you have the private key for the associated pub

Fair enough! Yeah, I was using brew as a replacement for something like `apt` or `dnf` on Linux. For example, installing packages like htop, neovim, emacs, etc. For things like Rust I stick with cargo (which is awesome), though I do manage

I used brew for years and it's a fine tool but I found it lacking. It doesn't give you control when you need it, and telling a user that something got b0rked along the way and asking them to start over isn't good developer ex

If you're happy with brew, by all means continue using it. If asdf is getting you all the languages and tools you need without issue, by all means continue using it. My comment is just adding some details to the parent comment about ni

Yes! (kind of, I wish `nix install` was a thing) # search for a package called `foo` nix search nixpkgs foo # install package foo, user-wide nix-env -i foo The CLI UX can get better, and I'm fairly sure folks are w

Fwiw you can use nix (the package manager) and the nixpkgs package repository without ever learning or writing a single line of nix (the language). My introduction was to use nix instead of brew and ignore the whole "declarative config

I just wrote some Ruby for a side project after ~7 years. The language is still fun, ecosystem is good, and things have progressed nicely. I never worried about "Ruby is slow" because I never used it at the scale/for software

Not permanently, but yeah. I quit ~6 months ago. Made enough to support myself for a while and needed to take a break and focus on health. Last few months I've started taking on small amounts of work and considering looking for full-ti

12th gen has had issues on all machines. Linux has added a lot of improvements and things generally work fine now, but it's not as out-of-the-box as 11th. Take a look at https://frame.work/linux This is probably as clo

Both ubuntu and fedora work well out of the box. Several other distros work well too. Are you suggesting they ship a linux distro by default?

Ah, my bad -- I misread the 'or' as 'and'. Agreed, lack of n/ac/ax has been an issue! Especially when cloning large repos I didn't realize how much I take >500mbps on wifi for granted.

I'm in the market for a new linux laptop again too. I primarily use a 2019 Macbook Pro which I like, but would like to be back on linux on laptop. I bought a Framework (11th gen intel) when it was first announced but ended up returning

I also would not be surprised if bullets are easier to acquire than poisons and sedatives. Along with the delivery mechanisms. AK-47s and their ammunition are abundant in many parts of the world. I don't think the same is true for dart

I'm running NixOS on a Dell Precision laptop. I'm really happy with it! Like the other reply suggests, I'm using ZFS and it's built-in encryption.

Ah, thanks. How does the forked chain reconcile with the rest of the network once the networks sync back up?

Heres my understanding of it: committee assignment is random, as in baked into the protocol, similar to how a validator is selected for a block (i.e. randomly). While only one validator creates the block, others create attestations which I

Does Github give users a toggle to opt-out of being in the copilot training dataset? I feel like that would be a decent compromise for folks not down with their code being used in copilot.

What's a good starting point for someone to study that? Specifically going from an interpreter to a compiler automatically. Are there any special considerations before implementing the interpreter? I'm vaguely familiar with RPytho

I would buy a 15/16” version of this in a heartbeat :) I really hope another chassis with a larger screen is in the cards for framework!

Turns out, I don’t do a lot :) I keep the list very short. Sometimes the back log does grow and I won’t copy everything over into today, and just mark the previous things I didn’t do with something attention grabbing.

I tried every todo app and personal organization and management system I could think of over a few years. I eventually gave up and moved to a nice notebook and a decent pen (Leuchtturm and Muji ballpoint pens) and haven’t looked back. I wri

Supplements are the only thing I haven’t really tried yet (beyond changing my diet to something less “inflammatory” and adding things like turmeric to my diet). Willing to give anything a try, so I might add on some supplements too. Couldn’

Interesting tip, thanks! I generally try to go for a few walks a day, and try not to sit or stand for too long at my desk.
