https://nijaru.com/ - I used agents to rewrite my website in the past year. Added a space and stars theme and a projects page that pulls in pinned repos from my GitHub account.

For something under 100 MB, this is probably the strongest option right now.

Do you have experience with these tools? Some such as sshrc only apply temporarily per session and don't persist or affect other users. I keep plain 'ssh' separate from shell functions that apply dotfiles and use each where appropriate. You can also set up temporary application yourself pretty easily.

You can apply your dotfiles to servers you SSH into rather easily. I'm not sure what your workflow is like but frameworks like zsh4humans have this built in, and there are tools like sshrc that handle it as well. Just automate the sync on SSH connection. This also applies to containers if you ssh into them.

They're likely running the Dark Reader extension and turned it off for the site, but didn't refresh the page. The extension doesn't always fully reset when you disable it for a specific site. Reloading the page with the extension turned off fixes the issue, so it is not your site.

I add something like “ask me any clarifying questions” to my my initial prompts. For larger requests, it seems to start a dialogue of refinement before providing solutions.

The automatic testing and setting of stable undervolt VF offsets per core is a great feature and something I miss on my current intel build. I don't know of any motherboard or other software that offers that.

New comment by nijaru in "Nvidia’s latest GPU drivers can upscale old blurry YouTube videos"

nijaru — Wed, 01 Mar 2023 07:30:23 +0000

I had to turn it on manually under Nvidia control panel. My GPU used roughly 100W more while playing a video on any of the super resolution settings, so it is definitely working when turned on. I didn't do rigorous testing of video source quality though.

The idea is cool, but I'm going to leave it off since I don't think I'll get much benefit out of it.

I have a pair of Hoka shoes for walking and a pair of Salomon shoes for hiking. Both are great.

I just started rosalind after someone posted it on here last week. They're definitely focused on bioinformatics similar to euler being more math focused.

I haven't gotten too far, but the initial problems don't seem too hard in higher level languages. They are very good problems to get better at IO, string manipulation, and data wrangling in your language of choice though.

nijaru — Fri, 19 Nov 2021 23:42:08 +0000

Browns are recommended for typing over reds, etc. as they have the tactile 'bump' but aren't excessively noisy. Reds are supposed to be quieter along with some other less common switches.

I have a leopold with browns I bought used for $40 years ago plugged into my work laptop, and a cooler master with cherry browns and backlighting I use on my desktop that cost me a little over $100. I did get one keyboard with gateron switches because they're cheaper than cherry switches, but one of the keys was failing within months. I have stuck with cherry switches since.

I've been on the fence for a few years about buying a kinesis advantage 2. The layout does seem like it would make typing much more comfortable and ergonomic.

For clarification, I believe he is saying you pay the same price as a mullvad subscription if you lock into a 12 month subscription, not that you pay double the price and are locked into that.

Yes that is correct. It's not always the most intuitive language.

5 times less than 20 would be 4 or (20 * 1/5), the same as 20 is 5 times more than 4.

A similar tool that saves me immeasurable amounts of time is fasd[0]. I started using it as a part of prezto[1], which is similar to oh-my-zsh, and have never gotten around to trying any other solutions such as z.

Mercurial is probably the most popular alternative, although if git wasn’t so ubiquitous, I would spend some time trying out fossil.

edit: I can’t remember where, it was when I was researching fossil, but there are some good reads on why Linus created git and the history of VCSs.
