  As a very experienced python developer, I have tried using chatgpt for debugging and vibe coding multiple times and you just end up going in circles and never get to a working solution. It ends up being a lot faster just to do it yourself

  Super interesting blog, also love that there are still some people blogging and it snot an insta post or YouTube video

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Beyond RGB: A new image file format efficiently stores invisible light data⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I literally can’t think of a scientific use case where lossy compression would be acceptable?

  I understood some of those words. Sounds like the future though

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Brother accused of locking down third-party printer ink cartridges via forced firmware updates, removing older firmware versions from support portals⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s really surprising this doesn’t already exist. It’s such a hated piece of tech, I would have thought someome would have thought they could do better! I don’t know enough to do it myself but I’d sure as hell support a project to do it!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Oscar-winning animated film 'Flow' created entirely with free and open-source software Blender⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Incredible to see how far blender has come. I remember using it over ten years when I was trying to get off pirated software (3ds max), while it’s still recognisable the capability has exploded

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Jellyfin is not just good... but *better* than Plex now?!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve been using it for 8 years and haven’t paid, is there any benefit for paying?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What can I actually do with 64 GB or RAM?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Wow, I’ve got more than that pinned

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Give permission. Don't give permission. They know where you are anyway⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  All HTTP requests include your ip address, you don’t “consent” to giving it to anybody. You can geolocate somebody based on ip address but it won’t be very accurate
