You can actually do both. This way you have full control - invest where you control the market and sabotage where you don't.

Agree but fortunately Python's types are entirely optional! I'm very familiar with pyright and still I start most of my new projects without types and start sprinkling them in once I have a good base working already. This works so

I'm unconvinced that secure communications is the bottle neck when it comes to criminal prosecution. We can expand police power without sacrificing our communications like that. Anecdotally, take a look at China where privacy doesn

It's still pretty hard to bypass it with open source solutions. To bypass CF you need: - an automated browser that doesn't leak the fact it's being automated - ability to fake the browser fingerprint (e.g. Linux is heavily pe

That's beside the point but I don't game on my phone (s22 with 128gb) and constantly have to shuffle storage just for photos, videos and music streaming cache. Storage is so cheap it makes no sense to pay 1,000$ for a device and t

I'm a scraper developer and Anubis would have worked 10 - 20 years ago, but now all broad scrapers run on a real headless browser with full cookie support and costs relatively nothing in compute. I'd be surprised if LLM bots would

But restricting the flow of information is a really weird way of handling this issue. It's like digging pot holes on the road just because you're upset that Teslas are on it.

Why would they need to scrape fediverse when they can just get all of the data and more just through federation? Also this anti-scraping stance for a public, transparent protocol is really weird - that's the whole point of the protocol

Right, the LLM doesn't need to know all of the code under utils.parse_id to know that this call will parse the ID. The best LLM results I get is when I manually define the the relative code graph of my problem similar how I'd imag

I disagree, the older I get the more aware I am of how impactful even minor friction is. Having "pedals closer together" does in fact make you press the pedals more often especially when you do that thousands of times per day.

Another tip: second hand gaming PCs! They can be incredibly cheap and powerful due to upgrade cycles just make sure to put a raid 1 on it as second hand gamer gear might be less reliable.

Not only that but many new editors straigh up ship vim mode now like Zed, Obsidian etc. The main vscode neovim plugin¹ is very big too with over 500k unique installs. Clearly VIM is still widely popular and not going away anytime soon. 1 -
