I don’t know where people are getting such low numbers. I’ve been a developer for 10 years. I care a lot about optimizing my workflow. When copilot was released, I’d say I got a 15% increase. When ChatGPT was released it was like 50% at lea

this is very good library that i was a little nervous about at first but i used it to build a custom command line tool for my business and it’s helped so much. it’s also very easy to create fancy cli features that make it feel like a real a

i like your idea of improving effectiveness population level data of social media is vulnerable to abuse by gov. social media is a poor input and gov will exploit ambiguity to their benefit.

i don’t think building your own framework is a good idea. react still has plenty of possible patterns to decide between even after making the decision to use it. a team should have decided upon ways to do stuff even inside of a framework&#x

the benefits of vanilla implementation fix the problems that come with lack of training. like not understanding the low level api training means so many things but in general, if it’s not “how we do work here” then it’s lacking at most orgs

i assume this is sarcasm which is unhelpful. the original claim was to trust no one. my comment was the government should also not be trusted. people put on such a front on social i wouldn’t trust any analysis. especially not health related

these are interesting, thanks for sharing i'm in favor of getting rid of weapons. if nuclear power is ubiquitous, i don't know how that would be possible though.

this thread is full of hypotheticals and blaming irrational actors for fear of nukes. the only country to drop nukes on enemies is the US. our fear of enemies using nukes has set us back half a century in energy. why do we focus on hypothet

I wish I could use the mobile app before buying to see how it compares to notion. the notion ios app crawls. no doubt i’d be a customer if it’s snappy. i’ve been thinking of building my own alternative for speed.

Makes sense why they would fuzzy search. Not all users can be expected to know Google fu. So let mainstream use fuzzy and keep power user features. The big issue is power user support is gone for people with Google fu. Ads or no ads isn’t r

The first time you implement, the default is to over abstract. The second time even more. By the third, you have a good enough idea of what you need to then build something robust. Each phase is faster. Second iteration is almost always cop

I believe this is because not all derivatives are possible via calculation and mcmc gives close approximation. But I could misunderstand.

For sure. I’m not exactly sure why but I make more consistent progress towards working out. Maybe I’m more aware. For instance, one day I’ll write my neck hurts today. When I see that again, I think about why. Then start thinking about post

I do this with two notion pages. One is Idea Inbox for any ideas worth exploring later. Then a second page called Journal which is a running list of entries for each day. I pretty much work out of this page and use Idea Inbox to remember wh
