Wow, you are drinking the corporate kool-aid eagerly. The brain understands concepts. I can say, for example, "a penny saved is a penny earned" and understand that I'm talking about money and savings in general. I've…
They may have been implying it; I'll say it. Token prediction machines do not produce meaningful output. It is much more likely that they will regurgitate, without attribution, something meaningful that a human wrote…
It is inevitable that a post criticizing grammar or spelling will, itself, contain a grammar or spilling error.
Search engines without ads exist. Try noai.duckduckgo.com. Decent search results, actual sources, no risk of hallucination, no extreme energy cost.
Good on them! AI-produced "content" is a DDOS attack on human cognition. It takes more time to review than to produce, and the original coders rarely review the output before creating the merge request. And the planet…
I legit did not know this. Thanks!
1. Ease of use. Other VCS have more consistent command line interfaces; Git's interface has to be studied. In practice, people end up using GUIs with missing functionality and then end up searching for help, and a lot…
"I wish commits could be folded into larger commits so that you can still capture the individual changes but also not see them by default when looking at the history of a file." Fossil merges do this. More people need…
Unfortunately, these days, "Show HN" is a code phrase for vibe-coded and untested projects. I was optimistic for this one because I love puzzles.
The "Hard" big diamond nonogram was not hard at all. Are you vibe-coding these?
We are in "the future" relative to both works. The current intelligence threatening our planet is an unconscious token predictor, much more like the hostile non-entity in Blindsight (which even speaks to humans via…
Every Kobo reader is capable of running KoReader ( http://koreader.rocks/ ). That's the first, and probably last, step I'd take to render a book that the default reader takes issue with.
Evidence?
This is a great example of commenting on the headline without reading the article.
Those are some incredibly minor advantages. The advantages of ebooks - easy backups, infinitesimal physical storage requirements, searchability, accessibility for people with visual needs - each one of those outweighs…
The source site (404 Media) requires a login to read their article. Kotaku's coverage is plainly readable.
Where "better" means you and your maintainers spend all your time scrutinizing volumes of code from token prediction machines?
Opening lines: "Today we’re changing how code enters the Ladybird project. We will no longer accept public pull requests. From now on, code changes to the Ladybird codebase will only be introduced by project…
Using uBlock Origin and nuMatrix on Librewolf got me 98% - some cosmetic ads got through.
The USA is consistently in the top 10 of nations with the highest incarceration rates. Prosecuting fewer "crimes" is a move in a better direction.
That makes no sense whatsoever. Voting for Trump (or anyone with an R by their name) is wrong; sitting out a vote is wrong. Why save all the blame for the side that actually put up resistance, however ineptly?
Don't tell OP this - he doesn't want to install multiple things. You'll scare him away from Java.
Nah, I work on a team that has multiple microservices written over the years in different versions of Java. "Just click the installer" is not sufficient. That's why programs like jenv, SDKman, nvm, and others even exist…
I think the issue is "I have to install two things instead of one thing" which is a pretty weird way to judge a programming language. I guess we know how he feels about TypeScript.
Here's what you need for Java: Download SDKMan/Jenv Install the version(s) of Java you need for your projects Make sure your JAVA_HOME environment variable is set Ensure your IDEs locate the correct Java home Compared…
