Incredibly simplistic. I’m having a hard time believing a real person wrote this, read it over and decided they had made anything resembling a point.

How about the fact that Google (ideally) sends users to you rather than sharing your work unattributed?

Can’t grep a notebook.

There’s a good insight in there about preserving your process of arriving at a conclusion, but it’s better done in obsidian or notion or something like that.

In this scenario are humans not making changes to existing code anymore?

I got the same impression. Chefs hat was a reach.

So writing brittle code that’s impossible to change isn’t a failure of design? It can still compile and run just fine

MySQL for the quick and dirty and Postgres for anything else

OpenAI needs some experienced web devs badly. Between this and the user session screw up it boggles the mind how they are bumbling the simple things

The problem is the crypto community’s skepticism of proven financial safeguards. Large financial systems are centralized for a reason and they seem intent on finding out why by hitting every bump in the road at full speed.

bellBivDinesh — Wed, 08 Jun 2022 15:50:13 +0000

Atom was my first go to editor years ago when its git integration felt miles ahead. Then I saw gitglass(?) in VS Code and was moved to switch for shared workspace files at my job. I remember it as lightweight and fun.

I use notion and I have to say regardless of what you want to use it for it will probably do much more than that for your use case once you understand how it works.

My only quibble is the lack of offline functionality.

Putting words in dead peoples mouths is unpopular. Shocking.

He also opened issues about four of his packages being used in the project. Doesn’t seem like a spur of the moment thing.

I like to use “what happens when you use sshd?”.

If they’ve tried it and there is an obvious response, that’s what they’ll say and there was no faux pas.

If they haven’t tried it they will say so and the phrasing still holds up.

Probably will be chalked up to combating “black money”.

Strange and regressive, much like demonetization was.
