Reminds me how I never in my life used the word “bespoke” before ChatGPT.

i never managed to pay attention fully to an audio book. i always have to go back 30 seconds every now and then cause i lose the plot. i am the same with books. i never read it linearly. i jump back a lot and reread a page or two. and jumping back is just way easier with text. and it’s easier with a physical book than on a kindle. on my big android tablet i can scroll fast back if it’s a pdf. but it’s not always fun to read on a tablet

I don’t find this beautiful at all tbh. Looks fiddly

I was more used to hearing the "Measure 7 times cut once" russian saying. :D

I trust a lot more Rust code generated by an LLM than anything else ngl.

even txco's?

For me the biggest learning investment outside work I put is learning Chinese and Vietnamese. I tried music but I gave it up after a year. And I can just do it on my commute to work as well. I also like reading about 19 century comparative history. Gives me a lot of relevant talking points in a lot of conversation.

same, I'll definitely pay for that

Vietnam is legit a good place to live tbh. My wife is Vietnamese and we visit at least twice a year.

Without making any value judgment on the government itself. I think it’s healthy for the planet to have people grow up in as many kinds of environments as possible. You know, as long as it’s not a full on totalitarian regime like North Korea or a place where women are treated like objects like anywhere ran under sharia law.

seems to work for android though

That's just terrible, I love it.

hard pass :D

isn't kotlin supposed to be the future for JVM?

My only problem with C++ is that it’s too verbose. my eyes need to parse huuge chunks of things when I just want some convenient syntax for it. otherwise the idioms are pretty universal for most programming languages nowadays.

Monty Python fan detected :D love your profile desc btw

I agree with both OP and you

Idk about anyone here but I find the effect disorienting.

you don’t need to understand millions of lines of code to be effective at a job. you just need to identify the boundaries and the subsystems you need to touch. I’ve always only worked on huge codebases, and i tend to ramp up within the first 2 weeks at every job

sometimes you wanna do debugging on a device that has no screen or ethernet port too

This is the best thing I've read all day thank you. I laughed so hard!

Oh man imagine if they asked the janitor to interview you and he just goes at it like it's the defining moment of his entire career.

Meh, even when you have the infrastructure for kids like in Germany. You still need to keep your eye on them. I've heard too many horror stories, including from personal friends of them just being dragged into a bush by a stranger and scarred for life. :/

It's a garbage world containing many garbage people and I think the "good old days" where you could just send your kid out in the morning and only see them at dinner never existed in the first place. It's just that predators can only prey on so many at once...

They're probably a lot safer in big numbers though, like if you had a group of 4 kids, each with cameras ready to film a potential attacker you could maybe give them ways in which they can protect themselves without necessarily needing adult supervision.

It's gonna be a hard problem to solve when I'll be a dad.

How do I turn to page 2?

#8 if you’re born in the right religion and socio economical background anyway…

I bet that NYC has the most variety in the world and therefore more likely that something is the most optimal across various scales of measurement

the article is pure garbage. most articles are. i love reading but your average article writer is just not a good writer. it’s 90% fluff

oh sweet I had no idea. funny that i mostly use it to write rust

huh. my evidence with codex hasn’t been so bad. and tbh why would i discourage anyone from coding. hack away mr hacker. your solution will either sink or swim

thinkpad?

Most of the scientific writing up until mid 2000s seems to have been a golden age.

I learned to love Sisko a lot more than Picard tbh. I find him much more relatable than some pretentious english-frenchman who gets weird around kids. I never understood why he’s such a jerk to Wesley in the beginning.

X-files was great for the first couple of seasons but then it went downhill, fast. I watched it start to finish twice, including fillers, and I gotta tell ya, past the first 2-3 seasons it really ain’t that great a show. I remember playing the live action video game that was split across several cd’s. that one was real nice. sometimes i still rewatch let’s plays on youtube about it.

I feel like most people who are nostalgic about X-files, me included. Are only nostalgic about the vibe it gives you in the beginning.
