On my very first job at the turn of the century, I remember I was by a client seating in front of a server, looking at a black screen waiting for something to happen, highly doubting the claim of the client.

"It only works when you guys are here". Yeah, right.

Already 3 coworkers had to deal with this but couldn't find anything, this was more than strange. So I asked them to yell as soon as something happen.

15 minutes later my wandering thoughts were interrupted by Pipes materializing itself into existence. Oh. And for that day I was the hero.

Total Commander 3 years ago

As many here I'm in love with Total Commander for a long time and it was my first purchase.

I find equally amazing that it's a one man shop. Christian Ghisler created, maintains and supports this application for 30 years (initial release: 29th Sep 1993).

I have boundless admiration for this kind of dedication.

I still like to have a unique id field per table. It helps logging and it doesn't care about multi fields "real" key.

However I keep an unique index on the string value and more importantly point integrity constraints to it, mainly for readability. It's way easier to read a table full of meaningful strings rather than full of numerical id or uuids.

Another reason I saw was that models were trained on 512x512 "portrait" images including very few hands. Added to the inherent complexity of hands, this throw off their generation.

I went to the website and my first reaction was literally "wtf is that shit?"

Why should I drop discord? Why should I create an account? Why should I download the app and not test in browser?

Even at the bottom: > Ready to try Guilded? > It's easy and free.

If there is a try, there is a catch. (maybe not but on the web it's implied nowadays)

This is not appealing at all.

I'm pretty sure the product is good but your "marketing" sounds completely off to me.

That's what popped in my mind when the title ("Stories meet their widest audience ever").

In some places it can be -1 or 2 indexed so that a building can have more floors than legally specified.

After 20 years as a programmer with various employers/clients, I noticed the impostor syndrome when I was alone on projects (or in small teams). But when I was working with big teams in traditional fields like bank or retail, I felt something more akin to the Dunning-Kruger effect...

When alone, I compare myself to people in the videos I watch, People like Hickey, Carmack, Crockford, etc. I can't handle a candle to them! But when in BigCorp, intertia is massive, people souls have long been sucked out, and you feel shackled. This make you believe that you can accomplish way more than the median person (which is of course probably wrong).
