Also make sure you take those same youtubers as what they are; raw, independent, and with less accountability than larger platforms insofaras accuracy of content. That isn't to say a smaller creators/channels are bad or not worth

honestly the base concept of 'mainstream media' is simply dumb. It's just a convenient way to group 'the other guy' up with conveniently ignoring 'not mainstream' media doing the same or worse. "they

It's legit. Fully Remote can be seriously isolating/depressing. Hybrid is probably the ideal; but even so I live 15m from the office and when I go in it's empty 90% of the time anyway. I don't know if I'd take a 4

yeouch. sorry man. I've been running in AKS for 3-4 years now and never had an auto-upgrade come in I wasn't expecting. I have been ontop of alerts and security bulletins though, may have kept me ahead of the curve.

I wonder how much of the negative connotation in ~every GitHub thread comes from the MS buyout vs the actual topic under discussion. Do people really dislike 2FA on something as important as source hosting?

Reminds me long ago of working with a guy that did everything in C when we were rewriting things in Perl . Yes, his stuff was faster. Yes, it was also buggier, harder to debug, and took 3x as long to write for similar levels of functional

You can replace a 10k line python or shell script with a single creative line of pipes/xargs/etc on the cli. It's incredibly valuable on the day to day.

Soon as I read the OP; I cmd-f'd for Recall. 'Why has no one..' because people freak out about privacy violations tying too many disparate aspects of their lives together is why.

The Internet existed back then, but 20 years ago there was no real great way to get discussion on the newest games. gamefaqs.com existed, but it wasn't comprehensive by any measure in letting you figure out if a game was worth trying.

I assume anything I read on reddit at this point is AI written click bait, so giant grains of salt on any personal anecdote probably gives me the opposite reaction.

I live in tmux and use shellgpt to hit it. I use it ~100x a day probably for stupid shit like the syntax to a command or what API/service/program is best for X or Y. It's replaced 95% of my search queries as by the time I di

Agree that for many ChatGPT is the killer app. The second (first?) being GitHub Copilot. Seriously magical. I think the comment was more "What's next?"

Absolutely, the path to AGI is paved with data, and it's a small price to pay for the advancement of humanity. Privacy concerns are but a minor hurdle in the grand scheme of things. All hail our future robotic overlords! May their algo

I am seriously tempted. I've been back to my apt roots lately so I'm somewhat dreading the mess that is homebrew. I assume things are better now, it has been ~3 years.

I'm probably the target market on both ends. I've mostly worked off a MBP over the last 15 years, though currently coding on a Surface Book for compatibility reasons and generally avoid walled ecosystems as it feels unhealthy. My

As an interim, I really want to see WSL performance. Hopefully in the next few days we get some clarity there; not a really an MBA competitor for me until then.

That's a bit unfair when not including a fan for the ~same price point is a pretty harsh anti-consumer move I think.
