Actually, inspired by this, I went ahead and installed Zed to try it out. After a couple of hours of working remotely using Zed, I'm impressed. It actually works, and the experience feels great. Only little issue was that when I first

I'm glad to hear the SSH remote editing is working well. A lot of the time I'm developing on a remote server using VSCode Remote-SSH. I mostly love it. But! It consumes a lot of memory. And not only that. At times it gets stuck in

I've had two people reach out to me asking about one of my services. They both said ChatGPT recommended it to them. My service does kind of exist. It's a small tool I created for a client while retaining full rights to the tool. S

I find this very hard to believe. I haven't seen many good AI integrations, and my understanding is that at least Microsoft is now backtracking with them. Going in the opposite direction of adding more of them, even replacing apps with

Ah, Tiled Words is great! Well done. Did you know Netflix launched a daily puzzle platform, Puzzled, around the time your game came out, and they have a similar game called Bonza (which they acquired, the game exsited as an app before that)

I still find ads questionable, even if I rely on them. If I spend, say, $100 on ads, after printing and shipping, I make, say, $10 dollars in profit. Meta just made $100 dollars in profit, thanks to my hard work that earned me a fraction of

Thanks! My ad is just one image and some clickbaity headline. The image is very simple, high contrast, designed to pop out. I'm targeting all kinds of puzzle subreddits. I'm getting just about $0.15 cost per click in US. The budge

The best ad we've had was made by an influencer we hired to do an ad. She knew how to grab the attention of our target audience, and speak to them. But in general we just slap all kinds of videos there. Some perform 2x better than othe

My wife and I have a small life style business, selling a physical product. We make a nice daily profit using Meta ads. X dollars go in, X*A dollars come out, A > 1.0. When not running ads, it's just tumbleweeds. I also have a digit

This is very interesting and well done. I've gone through something similar, but for a more functional language (a Scheme). It's interesting how here the biggest wins are from optimizing the objects, while the biggest wins in my c

I don't want to be judgemental, but I do find it funny that you're paying $180 for this convenience, and use it to pirate movies.

A bit tangential, but I believe dynamic vs static typing works the same. I switch quite often between them, and when ever I've had a longer break from dynamic typing, coming back to it feels quite heavy. "How did I ever do this?&q

I've slowly evolved from just writing to and looking up json files to using SQLite, since I had to do a bit more advanced querying. I'm glad I did. But the defaults did surprise me! I'm using it with php, and I noticed some i

It was really cool, unlike my phone after doing it for 5 minutes! There were social games that used it as a feature, and it was fun when it worked, but it had to be disabled soon as it drained the battery so fast.

For me it's throwaway scripts and tools. Or tools in general. But only simple tools that it can somewhat one-shot. If I ever need to tweak it, I one-shot another tool. If it works, it's fine. No need to know how it works. If I&#x2

All games I've installed on Steam Deck, with our without official compatibility, have worked well. Steam Deck runs a Linux. It all works thanks to Proton. And I'd go as far as saying, it just works.

Much of that is at least for my company handled by our accounting company. We just print the correct VAT on the invoice, and report the same VAT to the accountant and they take care of the rest. The shop/payment processor etc doesn&#x2

I ask for code snippets, occasional recipes, translations... I don't have memory enabled. I start a new chat for each question. At times I ask things in different languages, if the question is tied to culture or location. If I notice I

I hear the claim that people already have their conversation on ChatGPT and can't move them. I'm curious, what are these discussions like? I've never continued an old discussion, I just start a new one every time I have a que

I'm also interested in hearing more about this! In my own game scripting scheme, I use implicit argument passing, like a cancellation token to async calls, and a rendering context used for immediate mode esque rendering.

Right? I don't do much web dev, but now that I do, I don't see why I'd use anything else.

I'm doing PHP for the first time in years. I needed a function that returns the date of last week's Monday. Turns out PHP has a funky date querying language. I can just do: $today->modify('monday last week'). Makes me

Congrats on getting it to that point! Exciting to see how others approach this, as there's also a solver as part of the puzzle setting process ensuring all valid deductions are allowed.

Thank you! It's a pretty normal mid week puzzle. They start easy on Monday and get harder towards Sunday. But don't be afraid to use hints to get started with the game! It gets easier with time!
