It's coming from a place of realism and facts. A place seemingly lost in the current zeitgeist. > Quorn makes chik'n nuggets made of mycoprotein with similar nutrients to a chicken nugget, Wrong again.…

Very cool! Hacker ethos (make a fake account to leverage sending photos), short and simple demo. Nice job

I wouldn't worry about it, we take cheap shots at French food and French people too ;)

> Now if you do inherit a larger project that you don't like, well, you either work on it or you switch jobs. Which you wouldn't have to contemplate if your predescessor had simply used the right tool for the right job,…
As you get more experienced in programming you'll inevitably inherit projects that you didn't have any say over, when that time comes come back to this comment, I'd be interested to hear if you still feel the same way.
> When you're writing a specific program, e.g. it's never going to be anything more than "Hello, world!", why would you use the fattest framework when you can write it in plain HTML? Emphasised the parts I think you…
Historically, Islamic philosophers (as they were then called) took works from the greek philosophers before them and expanded upon it. Then a few other philosphers who did not like people learning from non-muslims…

And yet they are routinely used to solve "simple hello world" apps. Riddle me that.
"You don't agree with me so I'll throw my toys out of the pram" Come off it, debate is debate, you're trying to come to a conclusion, but for that to happen your mind needs to be open to the possibility that you are…
Yes, it really is odd, I couldn't figure it out so switched back to zsh. The specific issue was to do with a script we had to run to gain ssh access to an internal network. I can't post the script, but it was related to…
Yeah I would have thought so too, but I have personally ran into this issue running fish-shell on my mac. There are some scripts I need to run that do not work even when I shebang the script to run in bash.
These responses are hard-coded by developers, we know this because it's the same stock response every time. It is personal because it's not the model, it's a wrapper around the model enforcing US-centric cultural…

This is my experience with any linux distro I've used, I'd prefer a smaller, regularly updated repository instead of my (2023) distro being shipped with ancient versions of, e.g. node, python, openssl, etc...
I honestly find the "holier-than-thou" speech of anyone offensive, but when it's coming from a program I genuinely find it rage-inducing. I can't be the only one, facebook devs, what you guys playing at? You guys speak…
Thanks, that actually makes a lot of sense. So I've been using them wrong, whoops! I guess I should get myself a little bin to compost stuff in

Sand is cheaper per kilo than used coffee grounds. "Building-grade sand" is sharp sand. It is the cheapest sand you can buy. Roman's built things out of their concrete which was full of random bits of rubble, and some…
I keep my grounds but I've found whenever I use them on indoor plants it grows mould on it within a day of watering the soil. Outside plants / veg don't have this issue -- have you come across this before? I keep my…
The angle about "reducing waste" seems a bit moot. Sand is plenty and coffee is organic.
Interesting, I only ever see wild solitary bees in my (UK) garden.
