Love: "the secret to love is giving without expecting. the secret to giving is loving without expecting." I thought that this must be a direct quote, but I couldn’t find it in a google search.

That was my favorite line. I find most of the result texts entertaining with many instances of ironic humor.

The flood unleashed may drive humanity to return to one-one communication (face to face) as the only form of authentic communication.

Clickbait articles have been generated by AI for many years, yet they still exist. In fact, clickbait is a global GAN monetized by Ad revenue. (In this case the adversary is humans who decide whether or not a specific title is worth a click

For the nonsense answers, I have to say that if someone asked me that, I might very well reply with made up nonsense. Sounds like a perfectly valid Dr. Seuss answer to a Dr. Seuss question. To me this is more human seeming and demonstrates

Yeah, I saw a text => UI generator. It’s cool, but it looked like very basic stuff - the type of UI that is very easy to create in a few minutes. (And really with what was setup behind the scenes - maybe just as fast to just write the co

Those types of contradictions are what made me suspect the article was generated. Now, I’m not so sure :)

With bot-human cooperative text generation this could be very powerful (if the purpose is to generate a large volume of text). I could tell that something was off when reading through this. The logic didn’t flow and there were contradiction

Right, I’ve been reading about machine learning for about 5 years, have read hundreds of articles about different techniques, and have often tried to explore ways it could be used. However, I’ve never found a practical use in software engin

Each of these projects is something I think I could probably figure out how to make in a year (but not really - I simply couldn't do the hardware side with my toolset). Then I look at his youtube videos and see he is putting out one of

Wow, amazing work - the skillset includes everything from machining parts (Using a plasma cutter) to custom 3D software (for simulating and debugging).

My point was that if testing for a skillset, using something that favors those who have toyed with a specific algorithm is the same as asking trivia questions. Trivia does not provide evidence of skill, it demonstrates prior knowledge. It w

In fact now that I think about it, it might be a good test to see if they are passionate enough to be a great problem solver: When was the last time you wrote a sorting algorithm? Acceptable answers: - You mean sorting a list? - In school -

This sounds like an inspection of whether the person has had a class in basic algorithms rather than if they have ever coded anything in real life. In school I played with sorting algorithms, in business if I ever found a developer manually

Nice work! I’ve created my own blog around a pure pre-render solution (using gatsby stripped down to just pre-rendering) - because I want to control everything and not be dependent on anything aside from the stack (react in my case). Impres

Ok, so I am just trying to understand the basic concepts in the paper and put it in my own words: It seems that the primary idea is that quantization precision is more important where there is a high density of neighbors. I.e. at the edges

The mistake is creating an abstraction because of seeing duplication. DRY is not a good guiding principle. It is an anti-principle. Abstractions should only be created when they have a clear purpose and create a simpler architecture by enca

I’ve often wondered if nightmares serve to prepare us to act quickly in worse-case type scenarios. Our mind responding to stress by saying, ok if this goes really bad, what are you gonna do about it.

That’s pretty cool. It seemed a bit slow creating the “macro” but pretty cool to see it run through all the lines. The way I would do that in vscode would be with a multi-edit, but it would get iffy at that many lines. I‘ll record a video d

Thanks for the feedback. vscode has regex find replace, but I don’t use it very often. It does show every match highlighted in the current file while entering the find value, which is nice. It does the same for multi files if needed and giv

Ok, also am curious about multi-insertion with cntr-left/right that vscode does: For example, let’s say I have a json object with variety of field names, one per line and I want to remove the quotes. With vscode, I can alt select all l

Thank you for that example! Just thinking out loud how to do that in vscode for comparison: - I don’t think repeating actions a specific number of times makes sense in most use cases. Counting 10 lines would take longer than doing shift up&

Does anyone have a good video comparing vim speed coding vs vscode using built in editor features? I’ve been using vscode for years and the YouTube videos that demo vim features are shallow (like how to enter a blank line - really?). I can

Almost every question I search these days follows this template. It may the nature of experience. The type of questions that cause me a problem are deeper edge cases that had later fixes for early workarounds.

I don’t understand the value of container tech (unless dealing with legacy code). Serverless seems better and cheaper (lambda, GC Functions, Azure Functions). Pay as you go with no overhead costs. In many cases usage may never exceed the fr

The entire reason kids and adults should write in plaintext is in order to focus on the content of their message. Markdown is excellent because it prevents the writer from formatting except where that has semantic meaning (headers, lists, e

I think this needs many up-votes. It reminds me how sometimes converse is confused with contrapostive.

Your link is broken. Also does this allow for Remote or is it onsite only?
