I like that this article paints VSCode as bogged down by too much AI tooling and the first thing I see on the Zed website is how create it is with Sonnet 4.5 and there’s a subscription plan for AI features.

Claude Code mobile app + GitHub app? Works well enough.

It’s specifically a Mac workaround package manager. There’s better/cleaner ways to do it on Linux.

It’s quite reductionist to compare this Maduro situation to WW2.

Holy tangents, Batman! This whole post was a million interrelated topics woven into one semi-coherent textbook.

I believe it’s seeing the 98% mortality rate in 2020 vs 2019 for the same month.

I’ve always felt it in North America. Especially if you slide your hand/finger. My iPad does it as well (if it’s on a charger).

Wait until y’all learn about the PCSO facial recognition dataset

Shows how old I am. Thought we were still in the "exposed ElasticSearch" era.

Let’s say they develop AGI tomorrow. Is that really all she wrote for blue collar jobs?

This is literally just a shared text file with buzz words thrown in the title. You could achieve the same thing with a Google Drive link to a text file.

I'm so dumb. I didn't even click into the "Blank Actions" tile.

Since we're mentioning Shannon... What is the minimum representative sample size of that problem space? Is it close enough to the number of freely available chess moves on the Internet and in books?

Well that makes sense when you consider the game has been translated into an (I'm assuming monotonically increasing) alphanumeric representation. So, just like language, you're given an ordered list of tokens and you need to find the next token that provides the highest confidence.

After reading your comment, I was interested in whether or not I could achieve this through the built-in Shortcuts app. Unfortunately, "Restart" is not an available action.

Edit: Actually, I was looking in the wrong place. It’s an option for the "Shut Down” action. Thanks, @jwond!

A memory leak that causes a full-system reboot after exactly 72 hours?

I’m speaking abstractly, of course.

I had no idea it was done with a resin.

Wait until the author learns about pointers.

It's fascinating to watch the whole "Data is the new oil" thing grow and morph into something truly horrible.

“We’ve investigated ourselves and found no wrongdoing.”

Good thing it’s only those evil Chinese making algorithms such as this /s

Yes and while we’re at it, we should simply relinquish control of these companies to the government. Perhaps any company remotely journalistic in nature. For safety of course.

Actually glad you said that. One of my recent shower thoughts that I was sure no one would understand. I distinctly remember growing up, people being "slow" or "different" or "<something now consider offensive>". Gender identity and mental health issues have been around forever, they're just now actually getting brought to the forefront.

Couldn't possibly be the political turmoil, the daily mass shootings, 2 years of lockdown, poor healthcare resources, etc.

I’m so confused. So I ping rlimit, then if I’m limited I don’t proceed with a request I’d normally make next to my real API? Do “while” or “for” loops not exist? Sleep (5)?

You can create this in the same amount of code it takes to implement it.

Similarly, I had an interviewer (same place) who just oozed “I despise being here”. Dismissed everything I said and gave me only the last 2 minutes to solve the problem he was supposed go give me. Didn’t bother to check back in with the recruiter after that.

I agree, it’s quite the scathing indictment. This is nothing to be proud or excited about. Unfortunately, if there’s one thing politicians lack, it’s shame. Also, what does that say about Georgetown’s program?

Sure. If you’re going through the trouble of containerizing your program and then compiling it into an executable, then you might as well just compile your program to an executable directly to begin with. Also, a system-specific executable is literally the antithesis of containerization. I know that over the years the programming landscape has evolved to the point that Docker has become yet another commonplace tool that newer devs don’t think much about and just see as a means of distributing code, and to be fair not a lot of people really groked it in the early days either, but this is truly unnecessary.
