One thing I've found in my own use of AI, which Gowers touches on in his point at the end but which I think deserves more attention: AI makes some previously non-trivial tasks trivial, but that doesn't make the work…
I have a sudden new appreciation for the Lincoln Memorial.
To my eye it looks like either (silk) screen printed or wood block pressed.
When I became a lead dev, one of the first issues I had was a 55 y/o dev who begrudgingly adopted git but consistently included commits like: “Monday morning commit”, “changed some things”, “commit”. He also refused to…
>This is probably an unpopular opinion. I wouldn't say so. Historically it's quite common. Maxwell's EM papers used such convoluted notation it it quite difficult to read. It wasn't until they were reformulated in…
As the saying goes: "Slow is smooth, smooth is fast".
I think maybe more that the users of this website, which is designed in a way that is intensely functional compared to other similar sites, just prefer less “useless” design features.
Personally I like the distinction between them as it gives me context for the object being a pointer, which helps with "at-a-glace" reading of clean code.
In 2018 I spent ~£6300 on train tickets for personal holiday travel all over the UK. Of that, almost 50% of it was refunded due to meeting requirements for partial refunds due to delayed/cancelled services. After that…
I have had a RX580, RX590, 6600XT, and 7900XT using Linux with minimal issues. My partner has had a RX590, 7700XT on Windows and she's had so many issues it's infuriating.
His plea for lean software [1] is always worth a read. [1] https://cr.yp.to/bib/1995/wirth.pdf
I still play D2 thanks to the hard work at the folks running Project Diablo 2[1]. Perspective mode looks absolutely beautiful at 144fps; it's somewhat hard to go back to the 30fps of the original LoD client. Even now, I…
In around 2017 I had a scholarship at Wuhan University. During that time the university hosted a cultural fair for international students. What was most interesting to me (as someone from the UK) was that I met for the…
Looks like Ilya asked GTP4 to produce an empathetic support message.
This should be a product.
I absolutely agree. It is functional and stable, but my gosh I can’t stand the design. The oversized top decoration for windows as well as the extremely poorly rendered pop-up for hovering over elements on the task bar.
I use a Beastmaker 1000 hangboard and follow the Emil's Sub-max Daily Fingerboard Routine on the app Crimpd each day. Absolutely amazing results within a month. I really suggest everyone gives it a try.
That second point is something that drives me CRAZY. For years I would keep YouTube or Twitch streams open on the second monitor. Now I deal with constant fps loss, video stutters or freezing. Absolutely bizarre…
I'm in the same boat. It's almost the only application I miss! I use Okular but I think Sumatra just has the right UI for me.
My best friend works for them in diagnostic sub-systems development. The product is still a long way off delivery with many systems being actively designed and refined. Basically it’s busy but will still be quite a…
I wouldn’t really say the visual aspect of HN really puts people off. I would argue that it’s more a function of discussion topics being more niche and technical. Ultimately the worst situation is when replies can…
I have been very lucky in that I’m completely flexible for working at home (in my study) or the office. I can say with certainty that I’m more productive (on average) at home than in the office. However, something I…
I also recommend Muji for pens. Also their mechanical pencils are great too.
Actually you can get uBO for Safari: https://github.com/el1t/uBlock-Safari/blob/safari/README.md
Why would you say that? Even as someone who is not religious I think he makes quite an interesting argument for the metric used by many to measure success.
