Yeah, but it's a good example of a modern day 'indy' cult classic. It's a regional production that happens to do really well with global viewers.

Genetically engineering and then riding a dragon actually sounds easy in comparison to creating FTL travel.

In that case, why not allow teenagers to carry firearms as well? Sure, some will die, others will go to jail, but at least that ought to teach the rest of them a lesson, right?

Yeah, though my Beyond Meat shares beg to differ on that. Down 95%!

I can't imagine letting a current gen LLM supervise Claude Code instances. How could that possibly lead to even remotely acceptable software quality?

As opposed to the Netherlands, Norway has an abundance of hydro electric power to fuel the cars and significant oil and gas income that can easily finance these policies.

Without hiring/being a cloud expert, it's hard to be sure that you didn't leave some door wide open due to a configuration error. Both approaches offer more than enough opportunities to royally screw up.

You are correct that a Linux installation is ineligible for support from Microsoft. Not that that means anything for private usage. Also, Linux has a great track record for not dropping support for older hardware. I think that is a lot m

The point of LSP is that neovim is using the same servers for this as vscode. So I guess you work on smaller projects or with languages that have faster (usually meaning less fully featured) LSP servers.

If you're using vim as an IDE (which is if course perfectly doable), then why does it matter if startup time is 50 or 1000 ms. You typically leave them running. > Yet I'm doing the same thing instantly or near instantly. Does v

Your focus on startup speed feels really alien to me. When working on a project I just keep vscode open. I reboot maybe once a week and starting vscode again takes about a second, and then maybe 10s of seconds of background processing, depe

They're not using the remote VM as a server but as the development machine though. You don't want to have to git commit and push every time you need to run or even type-check your code. I think what GP describes is actually a pret

Doing actual journalism is expensive and not many people are still willing to pay to read the news. These companies are definitely not printing money. That's why billionaires can buy them on the cheap. Not for the expected profit, but

The problem is that it's a zero-sum game for a large part. People are hopefully not going to buy more medecine because of pharmacy ads. So the excessive spend on ads is driving up costs for everybody, and causing insane profits for a h

And made from petroleum with many interesting additives does mean safe for human ingestion I suppose?

No, that's because pizza boxes are contaminated with fat. That messes up the paper recycling process. Water is fine.

I used to worry about stuff like this and the climate in general. Thanks to Trump, not anymore though. I now worry about WW3 and the collapse of civilization instead.

Oh, I agree, I want my function keys! But this would allow software to communicate what the function keys actually do in this context. When you hold a modifier key, the labels could change.

Or replace them with physical keys with tiny LCDs screen on them to indicate their meaning in the current context.

I've recently seen Opus, after struggling for a bit, implement an API by having it return JSON that includes instructions for a human to manually accomplish the task I gave it. It proudly declared the task done.

I didn't say the platform was the novel aspect. And I'm getting pretty idiomatic code actually, just based on a bit of example code that shows it how. It's rather good at extrapolating.

I've been a full-time Linux user since 1998, and over the years I've invested uncountable hours doing all kinds of tweaking and fixing. But with time that has gotten less and less (probably due to both Linux and me maturing), to t
