- Comment on AI coding assistants do not boost productivity or prevent burnout, study finds 1 month ago:
It’s a glorified autocorrect. Using it for anything else and expecting magic is an interesting idea. I’m not sure what folks are expecting there.
- It suggests variables and function names I was already going to type more accurately. Better, it suggests ones even when I cannot remember the name because i got stumped trying to remember.
- It fills in basic control structures and functions more effectively than the IDE’s completion templates.
- It provides a decent starting point for both comments and documentation (the hard part). Meaning my code actually has comments and documentation. Regularly!
But I don’t ask it to explain things or generate algorithms willy nilly. I don’t expect or try to have it do something that’s not more than simply auto-completion.
I honestly like it, even if I strongly dislike the use of AI elsewhere. It’s working in this area for me.
- Comment on ICANN approves use of .internal domain for your network 2 months ago:
Quite literally my first thought. Great, but I can’t issue certs against that.
One of the major reasons I have a domain name is so that I can issue certs that just work against any and all devices. For resources on my network. Home or work, some thing.
To folks recommending a private CA, that’s a quick way to some serious frustration. For some arguably good reasons. On some devices I could easily add a CA to, others are annoying or downright bullshit, and yet others are pretty much impossible. Then that last set that’s the most persnickety, guests, where it’d be downright rude!
Being able to issue public certs is easily is great! I don’t use .local much because if it’s worth naming, it’s worth securing.
- Comment on Masahiro Sakurai refused to add Dolby Surround to a Kirby game because players had to sit through the logo 5 months ago:
But however will it determine the player one controller … on a desktop computer?

Thank you for the correction and details.
- Comment on Apple argues in favor of selling Macs with only 8GB of RAM 6 months ago:
I dunno if you noticed or if that was the joke. But you said “8 megs” three times in your comment when I think you meant to say “8 gigs”. 1 gigabyte = 1024 megabytes. Just wanted to let you know in case it wasn’t a joke about how 8 wasn’t enough. That’s all, thank you!

A bot I’m very pleased to see! Very cool.

Stamped with a Wisconsin logo, yep that fits.
- Comment on AMD’s new CPU hits 132fps in Fortnite without a graphics card 9 months ago:
From my understanding, transcode quality is a concern. I’ve unfortunately read AMD’s implementation just isn’t very good. That one is better off going Intel particularly from the last few years.
Jellyfin’s docs specifically talk about the issue.
Intel’s transcoding is also faster in the same generation.
Been debating which way to go for my next rebuild as I’m over due myself.
- Comment on You can have anything you wan... 9 months ago:
My gods. I think this just gave me flashbacks to this week.
I was recently battling node’s import/require shenanigans trying to figure out how to import a typescript module in my basic program. I feel this so hard.
I walked away utterly hating the language and its ecosystem. Utterly defeated, I gave up.
- Comment on Has google stopped working for finding anything? 10 months ago:
Okay, so I’m not the only one that has found this a problem. The first few times I didn’t realize it. But it started dawning on me, it’s really quite bad at finding local businesses.

My partner in the same size. NGL, it’s glorious.

Omg, I laughed so hard. This one was quite good.
