The last week was funny and also tiring, I worked 14 hours per day on average. My normal average is 4/6 since early Redis times, but the first few months of Redis were like that.

Is he taking about 4/6 h of coding? If he meant total working time I’d say this is a very balanced lifestyle!

I install Karabiner [0] first thing on a new macOS.

It lets you map this key to fix this issue and allows many more mappings.

I wonder why there is no LLM that can decode this. Tried many times but it seems the models don’t pick up the nuances.

Do you mind pointing out the Moment when they show this?

GitUp is an open source altetnative. Probably less feature rich than SM but powerful enough to be efficient.

Adding a smiley improves performance according to Logan Kilpatrick, head of developer relations at OpenAI.

There's a lot of really small silly things, like adding a smiley face, increases the performance of the model.

You could imagine on the order of one or 2%, which for a few sentence answer might not even be a discernible difference. Again, if you're generating an entire saga of texts, the smiley face could actually make a material difference for you, but for something small and textual it might not.

He mentioned that in Lenny’s podcast at 24:37.

Edit: added quotes

Here’s that article you’re asking for.

Smart Cards originated from pay phones https://computer.rip/2023-09-03-plastic-money.html

Have a look at Embeddable. It’s still pretty new but build by an experienced team.

It’s commercial software though.

This is handy but might not classify as a "write-up".

Is this actually legal in Switzerland?

That reminds me of Typing of the Dead https://store.steampowered.com/app/246580/The_Typing_of_The_...

You can find downloads of the original game via Google.

Thanks for the tip with Octonauts. This looks indeed like a great show.

I came to the comments specifically to find alternatives. This seems to be the only one mentioned so far.

Any other recommendations?

There is also this classic I remember from my childhood.

Once upon a time… life

This might be a silly question but are there similar optimizations that apply to Java?

There’s also https://numi.app/

It’s a shame that it doesn’t remember the words you look up.

This, combined with a spaced repetition feature would be fantastic to have on board.

I always wondered if there is a private API/event to listen for to capture the lookups and store them for later.

The German equivalent is Alpha Centauri by Prof. Dr. Harald Lesch.

He created over 200 of those 15 min clips between 1998-2007.

Space Night is another classic that should be mentioned in this context.

We use iPods in a B2B wholesale context. The biggest advantages for us:

- Apple ecosystem

- long lifecycle of the devices

- standardised form factor for laser barcode scanner sleeves

- controlled environment in terms of OS versions and screen size variaty

- low price / costs for the users

What will Apple offer for B2B niche use cases in the future?

Why isn’t there a metric like:

Cumulative CO2 emissions per capita, per consumption, etc.

Would that give us a better sense of how much more the developed countries have emitted so far vs the developing countries.

If the same kind of pictures would be taken today in the US (and most other western countries) obesity would be the rule with a few exceptions. Seems like the 60s didn’t have this problem yet.

I’m a happy user of ControlPlane since many years for exactly this purpose.

With ControlPlane you can intelligently reconfigure your Mac or perform any number of actions based on input from a wide variety of evidence sources […]

Very satisfied MacPorts user since 16 years. I really don’t get why brew is a thing...

I found OneTab [1] and Pocket (or similar read-it-later services) to be an efficient way to cope with too many tabs.

OneTab works similar to bookmarks but preserves the date & time they were added. It’s even possible to add a title, i.e. context, to a group of links along with the timestamp. Links can be moved around with drag and drop.

A great improvement to OneTab would be to be TST aware and maintain the tree structure.

Pocket makes reading bookmarks a lot more pleasant and the tagging system helps to preserve some context.

As it wasn't mentioned yet: pushd / popd

These two commands replace 'cd' and work with a directory stack of different paths.

   $ pushd tmp   # cd to tmp and remember current path /
   /tmp /
   $ pwd
   /tmp
   $ cd /usr   # normal cd to wherever you want...
   $ pwd
   /usr
   $ popd   # pop the stck and get back to the previous path
   /
   $ pwd
   /

It's a built-in of bash and other shells. It works even with Windows' cmd.exe
