I doubt it is safe to concurrently modify a git repo over a fileshare though. I don't understand the other use cases you mention

I am also seriously puzzled and don't see the point. Why push to a local remote if the real remote is not reachable? The branch is still not leaving your machine, you are just making a copy of it in another place and now have to manage

Uniqueness is a costly signal in a sea of information that is all calling for your attention. It signals that you as an author have spent real time on your web page to make it yours.

Thanks! Only about 2-3% of their samples seemed to contain mercury though, so it is not as prevalent as I could fear. As far as I understand the report, the vast majority of P2P syntheses use a Leuckart reaction and so do not depend on a he

Yes, the swedes take the ferry to Denmark and the danes take the car over the border to Germany. There has also been a movement to change the culture of drinking in Denmark, and the consumption has generally been going down, although it sti

Initially, yes. But as illicit supply chains were established, usage crept back up. It didn't go all the way up to pre-prohibition usage, but it got pretty close. Just look at the graph in Figure 1 in this article: https://w

Indeed, and for a layman like me it even sounds quite plausible that this could be what is making people go "mad as a hatter": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erethism Add to that that the routes of administrat

The author points out a synthesis route that includes lead in a reducing agent, and I think that other routes also depend on reducing agents that contain mercury (aluminum amalgam). Heavy metal exposure is cumulative, so even small amounts

All Scandinavian countries except Denmark have some form of state-run monopoly on the sale of harder alcohol, and of these countries, Denmark is the country where people drink the most, in particular among the youth. It is disingenuous to c

I can confirm. I also use in-ear headphones daily which I think exacerbates it further. It can be fixed by an occasional ear wash though.

Do you think this is inherent or an artifact of prompting? Curiosity and side quests leads to higher token usage and longer time to finish, so I could understand why current harnesses and system prompts would not encourage that sort of thin

I would not do that, mostly because Apple is, and always has been, doing what they can to create locked down platforms which are the antithesis of digital autonomy. Being able to run a different operating system is and never will be somethi

I feared that I would miss it too much, but after a week I stopped reaching for it with my finger.

I have never owned an Apple product, but I have helped other people from time to time. It's hard to say because I'm not used to it, but the trackpad feels really snappy and precise, and the 120hz display also helps making it feel

I am not sure since I have never gotten to zero. But I would think I could easily get 6-7 hours out of it, although it depends a lot on the type of work I do and whether I am in meetings. I use IntelliJ and run heavy test suites all the tim

It doesn't. It looks like a slick laptop, but it is as similar to Macbook Pro as it is to a modern Thinkpad. The hinge in particular stands out and looks like a Thinkpad hinge as opposed to the hidden hinge of a Macbook. Other than tha

If you want to use it on the beach you will probably need an e-ink display because no laptop screen can compete with the sun. But matte is still infinitely better than glossy for less than ideal conditions such as working on a train where t

I like it both for the peace of mind that the webcam is off, but also because I anyway have a dedicated external webcam both at the office and at home, so I really don't need a webcam lens in the lid except for the rare occasions where

I have been using this for about a month and I love it. The screen looks great, the keyboard is great, the trackpad is great (I have been using Lenovos for ~20 years and though I couldn't live without the trackpoint). The battery life

It's just a mechanism to incentivize mining. The alternative is that miners are paid only via fees, but that risks making it prohibitively expensive to transact. Minting new coins distributes the cost of mining over all holders by infl

Kristian Høgsberg who developed Wayland was in the beginning of 30s when it was first released 17 years ago. Stop this nonsense.

I have never tried it until now, and I hadn't looked into it. But I just tried `waypipe ssh` to a remote server I have for doing asynchronous Claude work in VMs, and it actually works pretty great! Maybe I'll switch to that for my

Did you just invent a non-existent core Wayland developer and attack them for things they didn't say? I am all up for shitting on modern software stacks and praise the Unix philosophy, but I am really turned off by posts trying to make

For me, TUIs compensate for the fact that I can't get good remote GUI rendering on Linux. Yes, X11 tunneling exists, but the experience has always been abysmal for me for anything not hosted on a machine that sits on the same LAN as th

Sounds exactly like the approach you would get with uncritically applying any suggestion that Claude came up with.

No it's not. I need permission by a third-party to be able to program a device I supposedly own. I need to give them money, I need to give them my identity, and I need to tie my identity to any distribution of the software I make if ot

Point taken. But I think we can say that smartphones and tablets are definitely not "general-purpose computers" because they are not programmable, at least not freely so.
