this is definitely one of my favorite YouTube sketches of all time

I learned about shift response vs support response from this Anna Akana video: https://youtu.be/y99WZ-3c6zE

Time and place for both, but putting names to them made me a bit more conscious of balancing the two.

PS, if you haven’t seen her LA Metro PSA videos, treat yourself and check them out

so what are the sentiments about langchain? I was recently working with it to try to build some automatic PR generation scripts but I didn’t have the best experience understanding how to use the library. the documentation has been quite messy, repetitive and disorganized—somehow both verbose and missing key details. but it does the job I wanted it to, namely letting me use an LLM with tool calling and custom tools in a script

I get the marvel fatigue for sure. but damn, getting to the last EP of Loki season 2 and not finishing it is a real disservice to yourself

Check out this 12tone video which tries to analyze what makes something “heavy”. tl;dr: sonic transgression https://youtu.be/b0mo17wLB4Q

I can never get this to work properly… Do you have any resources?

The difference between generating JSON and generating HTML is minimal for the server, doesn’t seem to me like server side rendered sites have significantly higher server compute costs. Also generally for SPAs, the server has to replicate whatever flow is happening on the client anyway to keep state in line (since the client can’t be trusted)

Any Linux distro should work for the setup you want. I have radarr, sonarr, sabnzbd, deluge and jellyfin running on an Arch setup, but something more accessible like Ubuntu or Debian should work fine (although I’m not familiar with whether the Pi4 can power those heavier distros). If you’re comfortable with the command line, it doesn’t matter much which distro you pick since you can install and configure all those apps over ssh.

I was learning to use computer during the transition to the ribbon in Office 2007, but I actually preferred the ribbon to the old interface and these days I don’t mind it. Out of curiosity, what about the Ribbon annoys you guys?

My T-Mobile plan is $50 per month for unlimited, but it’s prepaid with no credit/ID check (or if there is an ID check, passport should work). Not the cheapest, but there are certainly options for you. There might be a data-only plan for less.

As far as I know, Swahili is almost always written with the latin script.

Seems like the prediction about the web panned out…

I think there’s a way to do this with userChrome.css if you hide the button elements.

This is a great deep dive! I am curious how difficult/slow it is to extend the modern xterm interface. For example, I saw that some terminals now support squiggly underlines for errors. What would it take to build a terminal (and associated interface) that supported things like text size? (Of course it would break a lot of applications that treat the screen as a two dimensional grid)

Last time I used warp it also wasn’t super customizable. I like messing with the prompt and stuff. I wonder if that’s changed. I did get a t-shirt from them for doing a user interview though :)

Because that’s an incredibly clunky name. I get that it can be frustrating, but we often call thing names that don’t really make sense, and it seems like the name Tuscan chicken already has a lot of staying power for this dish. French fries are not from France etc etc

I would love something like this!

Careful… This hobby will make you spend hundreds of hours personalizing and perfecting your layout, changing keycaps and switches, trying new board shapes and so on. I’ve only been part of it for a month 💀
