Bullshit by the origin. This man juggles words and meanings at Du Soleil level, so finding roots in his claims is impossible, due to the described above. He’s basically GPT-3 of his time with the temperature parameter cranked up, an intelle

Vimers can adapt https://vim.fandom.com/wiki/Different_syntax_highlighting_wi... for a similar thing (but you have to wrap a string into some regular syntax).

I see it as a self-sustaining stereotype only prevalent in what people tend to read. Who wants to read about a normal life of a normal russian, frankly? It’s likely not a snark, but it is nothing more than just a complex sort of klukva^ eit

And in that period it wasn’t particularly habitable either. An observer may not find that big of a difference between a recently formed planet and a planet recently hit by another planet.

I see a weather.com class, a parser and a react gui boilerplate boilerplate tsx folder. All three are textbook and trivial areas. We are only missing an ad hoc crud orm here. In my opinion that is not code, it’s not a business logic. What i

Funny, because for my simple but over-mspaint editing needs I still prefer GIMP over Krita (and I hate both, ofc). Krita screams “you are a graphics artist”, which nope I’m not. It’s the same mess to me, only starts even slower and thinks t

Linux Desktop never needed GIMP like a regular Windows user never needed Photoshop. Photoshop is “start at work in the morning” software and GIMP is its “artist’s impression”. What Linux Desktop needed was Jasc/Corel Paint Shop Pro and

I was investing big in gtk as my main ui toolkit (writing complex widgets, containers and rendering via “engine” interfaces), but all this 3+ pissed me off quickly. Gnome was, and is, how you lose everyone around except for yourself and tha

A theory about a previous advanced civilization must first and foremost explain how and why it skipped using all the obvious under-your-feet materials and fuel sources in its initial phase.

Youtube already solved 1, 2. What TikTok really solves is mixing a song from its library into your video and applying a cool visual effect. No one with a youtube account is gonna download a separate video editing app and build a production

No one includes complete detail at saying it’s useful and life-changing too, so that’s fair. It might turn out that what works for those for whom it works is trivial “code” not worth the ssd blocks it occupies. This is actually my current t

Yes, and memory palaces work this way. People remember 20-50 items (or cards) at once by simply placing them at a familiar location. “A racoon sits near a red vase at the entry with his legs crossed and a rhino spilled half the bath on the

It also creates additional finalization semantics for a using-ed value. Which has all sorts of implications. lock.do(async (lock) => {work}) is a similar construct - a scope-limited aquisition that requires nothing special. Catch/fi

I suspect it’s not a smarter developer thing, but a stupider code thing. Programming for a client is making their processes easier, ideally as few clicks as possible. Programming for a programmer does the same to programming. The thing with

What is the point of “ramping up” though? You don’t learn much about how to prompt in the process, you just get worse results. So now I have my useless todo and ramp up to my code and it falls face first in the mud in the next sentence. I c

I use local LLMs and write system prompts. For example, I have two “characters” for sh and cmd, who only produce valid shell commands or “# unable to generate”. No explanations, no important to remember crap. Just commands. I prompted them

Spatial memory is a very useful and important part of navigation. One thing I (and probably we all) miss is an ability to create nameless folders. Well, we sort of can, with “New folder (24)” and “dklstnrigwh”. I’d like to use spatial sorti

While this works, it’s mostly useful for storing naturally curled wires/hoses. The downside is it becomes twisted again by pulling straight. The “accordion” method actually counteracts knotting because it forms a sort of an amorphous s

You know how wired earbuds always, always get tangled when you place them in a drawer or your pocket or something for few seconds? Do not wind them around your hand, this creates a curling force that makes them tangle. It’s a fundamental

Particular = Deutsche Schule. Pseudointellectual = hegelian. Hegemony = of which he was a king crowned by contemporary ruling class. Hegel dominated the area by being a Kanzler, not by merit.

Everything hegelian works like a word mixer which applies a nonsensical operation to an argument to produce more and more words up to the point of a semantical smoothie. It’s a result of a particular pseudointellectual hegemony and a precur

Bonus for fellow scraper: AHK script for saving images. Hover over an image in the grid and press alt-shift-s. It will rclick, type i, s, enter etc. I bound it to my mouse side button to save images under cursor without going through menus.

Sure. Note that it does some hqdefault vs maxresdefault loading logic for yt, which you can rip away if not needed and make it a little smaller. Also splits images into two sections, 1st all >= HD-sized pics, 2nd the rest. It still doesn
