There’s a fox?
- Comment on Whistleblower 'would not' put family on Boeing 787 jet 7 months ago:
I mean, I don’t think that’s the way to go about it. Trains don’t take me to my family across the planet in 11 hours. I’d prefer to feel secure when flying there.
- Comment on Tech titans assemble to decide which jobs AI should cut first 7 months ago:
My first thought exactly!
- Comment on [deleted] 8 months ago:
Not to flex, but I can draw ampersands and curly brackets.
Maybe I should’ve gone for a different skill…
- Comment on Samsung does an Apple with its first Snapdragon X Elite laptop, suggesting the new Arm-based Windows machines aren't going to be a cheap alternative to x86 8 months ago:
Samsung Galaxy Tab S8/9 Ultra. Publically made fun of Apple’s notch, then released their tablets with a notch a few months later. (Although tbf nowhere near as pronounced as Apple’s and mostly justified due to the extremely thin bezels).
- Comment on 'Better than a real man': young Chinese women turn to AI boyfriends 9 months ago:
I mean, it will be. The AI friend is always available, always knows what to say, never fights with you, and never messes up (ideally).
However, all those things are part of the human element: and at the end, you’re still talking to a computer. The AIs are just trying to please you. A person can actually love you, and that’s something else. And I’d take that over the perfect chatbot any day.
- Comment on Tough break, kid... 9 months ago:
AI’s not bad, it just doesn’t save me time. For quick, simple things, I can do it myself faster than the AI. For more big, complex tasks, I find myself rigorously checking the AI’s code to make sure no new bugs or vulnerabilities are introduced. Instead of reviewing that code, I’d rather just write it myself and have the confidence that there are no glaring issues. Beyond more intelligent autocomplete, I don’t really have much of a need for AI when I program.

- Comment on The New Luddites Aren’t Backing Down 9 months ago:
Journalists use AI to write longer articles. People use AI to summarize those articles.
The circle of LLMs.

- Comment on Thank the EU there’s a prominent “Reject” button nowadays 9 months ago:
Some websites allow “strictly necessary cookies”…those work on some websites.
- Comment on These aren't "feel good" stories, they're "we live in hell" stories. 10 months ago:
It’s a school?? Who are the shareholders?
The fact that a school has to be pulling this kind of stuff…
- Comment on Why is Google allowed to remove purchases from our Play Store accounts without telling us? 10 months ago:
Outside of programming circles I’ve been surprised how little people now what != means.
- Comment on Elon Musk's X claims it's now a 'video-first platform' as it tries to reverse an advertiser exodus that has cost it billions in value 10 months ago:
- Comment on Apple pays out over claims it deliberately slowed down iPhones 10 months ago:
Perhaps not all 24 million people will cash out? IDK.
- Comment on The four houses dads belong to. 10 months ago:
Hey, me too! Only really use them for the occasional hobby project, just went with what my dad went with.
- Comment on 23andMe tells victims it's their fault that their data was breached | TechCrunch 10 months ago:
Not your fault if you did have a strong password but your data was leaked through the sharing anyways…
- Comment on Fossil: A Git alternative with batteries included 11 months ago:
Thank you for that information. I had no idea that command existed, I guess because primarily I’ve seen people sending patches over ema. I’ve updated my original comment with additional information. Thanks for calling me out 😅
- Comment on Fossil: A Git alternative with batteries included 11 months ago:
I mean, Git doesn’t natively have pull requests either…the “official” method involves sending patches through email. It seems that Fossil has a similar setup (although without the tool)..
PRs are a feature introduced by GitHub. I guess Fossil bundles would be close enough to them.
- Comment on Apple’s MacBook Pro memory problem is worse than ever 11 months ago:
Ohhh right, I totally forgot about that. Remember reading about it somewhere. In that case, I guess it makes more sense.
- Comment on Apple’s MacBook Pro memory problem is worse than ever 11 months ago:
11GB idling?? Maybe not as optimized as it seems…
- Comment on GitHub Desktop or Git CLI? 11 months ago:
Freaking love TUIs, it’s like they took the convenience of a GUI and the efficiency of the CLI and merged them. As a Neovim and Lazygit user myself it’s amazing what I can accomplish in but a few keypresses.
- Comment on [deleted] 11 months ago:
Also possible in Voyager too :)
- Comment on Manager: This task only takes 30 minutes. Why did it take you the whole day? 11 months ago:
Better yet
git commit -p - Comment on Manager: This task only takes 30 minutes. Why did it take you the whole day? 11 months ago:
“feat: stuff”
Guilty of this one myself.
- Comment on Bringing the Unix Philosophy to the 21st Century 11 months ago:
Oh that’s smart! And then nushell just handles the data for you…I might try that!
- Comment on This scary AI recognizes passwords by the sound of your typing 11 months ago:
Rearranging the keys? My password’s pretty much muscle memory, typed fast enough in not really worried about people watching me enter it. Call me lazy, but having to pick and hit every key? No thanks.
- Comment on The new Mammoth app is a much simpler take on Mastodon | The Verge 11 months ago:
From the README:
Feel free to take a look around. We are not yet taking patches as we still have a little bit of tidying up to do. When we do, there will be a contributor license agreement.
So yeah, looks like there will be a CLA.
- Comment on Tesla Cybertruck's stiff structure, sharp design raise safety concerns - experts 11 months ago:
You’d like the “features” of any car, it’s why they’re features. It’s the tradeoffs that actually matter.
And yeah, it looked cool at first, but that’s really just because of its uniqueness. From an actual design perspective, it just looks…stupid.
- Comment on Introducing Wikifunctions: first Wikimedia project to launch in a decade creates new forms of knowledge – Wikimedia Foundation 11 months ago:
This is fucking cool. I can imagine the many times this could’ve helped me quite a bit, and honestly even if I didn’t find the function I needed I could still probably hack out a decent implementation in whatever language and actually contribute towards this. In 5-10 years, this could be really useful.
