It just felt so cliche, that the crazy discovery they make is that the strange stuff is alive. The writers couldn’t make it sentient because then they’d need to explain why it’s just like the Great Lake but different from the Great Lake. It just exists and Star Fleet happens to be the only ones who know about it.

lol, I love that you’re conflating the creator having the budget to make the show more in-line with his original vision with someone else making a lousy change for no clear reason. It’s a nice knee-slapper of a comment you have right there. Good luck with it.

Who wanted a visual reboot of the Klingons?

Discovery had so many problems for me: ship flies on magic mushrooms, her mom basically doesn’t care about her anymore by the end of it - the show-starting plot line, and the Klingons look like sweaty orcs.

AI is surprisingly helpful with providing a starting point. When you want a helloworld app, an example of how to use some part of a crate, or a code snippet showing how to take what you have and do something unusual with it, AI is super useful.

I would love to be able to get the same quality of AI locally as I do from ChatGPT. If that’s possible, please let me know. I’ve got two 3090s ready to go.

But for now, I’m just enjoying the fact that ChatGPT is free. Once they put up a pay wall, it’s back to suffering (or maybe/probably trying out some open-source models).

Yeah, if it’s purely a Sqlite implementation detail to create temp files, that’s on them to own and fix. I thoroughly dislike that the files are obscured from users.

Oh, I thought that the temp files were named by the user. If that’s not the case, that these are not databases created specifically by McAfee in the temp directory, then I’m not sure what the appropriate solution should be. Obscuring the file type and how the file is used from users is still a bad practice.

I love how the solution didn’t involve changing the prefix to “mcaffee_”. Now users don’t know who to blame. Great. That’s so nice of them.

Yesterday doing a search using vim for a class that shared a lot of characters at the front with many other classes: /Bas.*Some I could have done a more precise search with better regex, but this was quick, easy, and worked.

It’s time that we admit to deaf people that music isn’t real. The joke has gone too far.

Your team needs to have a coding standards meeting where you can describe the pros and cons of each approach. You guys shouldn’t be wasting time during PR reviews on the same argument. When that happens to me, it just feels like such a waste of time.

I would agree. Only if the performance is extremely similar but the readability (for some reason) is significantly better for the recursive solution would I choose that.

Rust, easily.

Cursorless. It’s a spoken-language programming interface that allows the programmer (of basically any language) to use specific words to target existing text, move the underlying cursor/selection relative to that target, and then run a specific modification. Think of VIM but for voice. It runs in VSCode atm as a couple extensions along with an install of the audio tool Talon. https://www.cursorless.org/

My current favorite is mostly Rust-based with the tide crate, tide-jsx crate, vanilla JS, postgres crate, and Postgres in Docker. Super easy, super fast (to develop and run), but I haven’t made any large web projects with this stack yet, just small stuff.

That would be cool, seeing RGB GOL cells moving outward. Maybe instead of 0 or 1 brightness you could just round it for the cell’s purposes, maybe having a const float for flexibility: if it’s greater than threshold then it’s “on”.

That’s awesome! What are your thoughts on keeping the colors of your face as they naturally are and as the GoL algorithm acts on the pixels, you blend the colors together?

Can you please elaborate on how, when using Rust, we can avoid needing to debug our JS code? I am very interested and hope that I didn’t misunderstand you.
