   If you like your eggs as a jellied omelette are you still "Sturdy, Reliable, Conservative" like THE BROOKSIDE RESTAURANT says?

   I think there was confusion about whether it was tethered / what the tensile strength of the tether was. Reads like it wasn't tethered. How did you communicate with it? Amateur bands? LoRa?

   It depends on my negative thought loop. If it's more existential anxiety the things that bring me joy sometimes can help. Other sources of negative thoughts they definitely don't work on.

   I can't. I have a go to list of positive things to think about. I have physical tactile things (a small rock I carry around) that brings me joy when I touch it because it reminds me of good times. It is very easy for me to get stuck in

   If it's all in rust you can maybe probably compile it to wasm with out much effort. Kinda depends what libraries they used / how they factored their code etc.

   My ideal coding configuration is 3-4x vertical 32" UHD screens (with the smallest bezels you can get) in a 'curved' formation. I find that configuration miserable for any hobby activities. I really like a horizontal screen, a

   I was very uncertain when I bought my KINESIS keyboard. It really really helps my wrist pain though. If it hadn't have worked I probably would've returned it to Amazon after a week or two.

   I have a couple of niche areas of non-coding interest where I'm using AI to code. It is so amazing to write rust and just add `todo!(...)` through out the boiler plate. The AI is miserable at implementing domain knowledge in those nich

   I sure hope it stays readable, but it seems like it would only become more indexable with machine friendly formats.

    Wow. Beyond anything, my main take away is *do not try to mimic [wW]indows [xX][pP] in any way*. I will never ever ever get it right enough. Stick to Windows 95 or earlier.

    I've been trying that, and I just keep running into miserable query performance. What order of magnitude do you use this on and find it acceptable? 1MB, 1GB, 1TB, 1PB? At 1GB it seems okay. At 10GB things aren't great, at 100 GB t

    I think the emphasis should probably be on the might. If Employ AI (in my head cannon a wholly owned subsidiary of Google, Facebook, or Palantir), decides to use their free legal billable hours (because the lawyers are on staff anyway), unl

    So are call trees where you have to answer yes / no to a decision tree (and can't press 0 / 1, you have to verbalize "yes" or "no"). Those continue to exist, so I expect AI customer 'service' to

    We used to all have our nice own gardens. If anyone was happening by we might say hello, and invite them in. It was easy to walk around your neighborhood, and find someone with a nice garden, who was having a garden party. You could present

    I think it will really depend on the topic. There are some topics where the first N search results are some sort of blog spam (some times AI generated), and so the AI summary is as good or better than the blog spam. There are other topics w

    Agreed, and after you've worked with them for a bit you can start to predict where they are going to fail, and do something silly like delete your code base, or have no trouble, and succeed, and add that feature you were after. A good

    At a FAANG company? A 5% or higher false positive rate in the FAANG hiring process. I feel like I specifically said that. At the company I worked in at the time? An ineffectual hiring process for different reasons that was more on "fee

    I mean even with out employer based health care there's trouble with mortgages and rent. A sufficient social safety net + UBI might work out for some. You should not discount the fear of a "changing lifestyle" where you lose

    There is a giant confusing tech stack here, but opening up this simple plain text page resulted in like 100% CPU usage from from gnome-shell when visiting from firefox on a pretty non-customized Ubuntu 24 install. In the firefox task manage

    For me it's small alpine containers running in k8s, and trying to get weird stuff running on my kobo ereader (can quickly get to a chroot with bash, but the base system doesn't have it).

    I mean I read the New Yorker OP article because it was posted on hacker news, and highly voted. It was probably too short to be considered long form, but I feel like I was baited into reading a rambling article where I gained nothing of val

    I think I'm mostly agreeing with you. In old newsprint there was a term "below the fold" with a literal meaning. If it's below the fold it's less important than what is "above the fold" since no one reads

    I think the businesses do kind of know their customers. This is an exaggeration of what (I think) happens: all of their current customers only ever drive there and park in front of their shop. They say oh with no parking I won't come a
