> More importantly, LLMs if done and used well, should be welcome to all of us. They could be used to reclaim control and power, away from large corporations and institutions.

Is it just me, or does this read rather naive?

I don't think so (could be wrong), but it does perform optimistic mutation on your functional code.

There is a talk somewhere where Richard "demos" this.

Well. "O buraco é mais embaixo". But by the tone of your message I can see there is no point in trying to develop this any further.

Actually it is the opposite, it is a scream from those who don't really have a voice in the city.

Really recommend watching the documentary PIXO, you can find the full doc in YouTube with english subtitles.

[edit: suggesting the documentary]

And if you like SCP and videogames you should definitly check out the game Control.

You can use alpine.js. There is even a way to integrate it with LV: https://dockyard.com/blog/2020/12/21/optimizing-user-experie...

About artificially created language I really like Toki Pona - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toki_Pona

Very minimalist, nice sounds.

FWIW, this is by the company of the creator of the Elixir language, Dashbit.

Quite the opposite on my experience. The fact that something is familiar doesn't mean it is free of complications.

Real question: How is what China is doing any different from what we've seen the US do to Venezuela (the Adobe incident) or even Cuba for that matter?

New comment by eberfreitas in "If you must run Windows 10"

eberfreitas — Tue, 27 Aug 2019 19:33:21 +0000

There is basically one reason why I use a Windows machine and that is games. I know linux has seen a lot of movement in that area (tks Valve) but I've tried it, and it works great, but performance is better in Windows for my machine. So I bought this machine where I can game (it is not anything fancy) and I would really like to work on it as well.

I have a notebook with Ubuntu installed and if you would ask me I would rather work on the linux machine, but I'm trying to push the envelope with WSL2 to develop with RoR... Weird bugs and slow sometimes (better than WSL1 tho). Oh well...

I love pixel art. For me is not only a hint at nostalgia but an art form in itself and that is alright. I like the aesthetics of it, I like the way it looks and I can admire the professionals that work with that kind of art.

I've seem some resources scattered around but I was looking for something more "definitive". Any ideas? Thanks!

Also, you couldn't possibly follow ruby's style guide with tabs:

We hired too much too early. We didn't measure the impact of employees on our revenue so we had more people working on the product but we where not growing with it. Then, we took too long to fire those people or find ways to make the structure work.

Say I wanna sell domains myself. Should I contact a company with reselling plans? Is there a more direct way of doing it?
