Starting with 2022 Statamic became the winner.

For a while flat-file CMSs where all the rage. I've been using Grav for a while, it is based on (markdown) files as well but also has a GUI and a comparatively large community. https://getgrav.org/

"Voted "Best Flat File CMS" in 2017, 2019, 2020 & 2021!" :-)

I am also torn because obviously the LLMs have a lot of value but the amount of misuse is overwhelming. People just keep pasting slop into story descriptions that no one can keep up. There should be guidelines at work places to use AI responsibly.

Becaus two wrongs don't make right. If they are smart they will stick to the convention.

If you buy (hypothetically) a lot of disks and don't use them for, say 10 years, will they degrade?

"Real-time patched Linux kernel for low-latency desktop use" - does this really make sense? I think there have been various efforts like this over the decades but as far as I remember none of them really made a huge difference for the end user.

"most men who exercise regularly and don't carry a ton of extra bodyweight, even with zero running" - what's that supposed to mean? How do they exercise then when they are not running?

I don't think many people who don't exercise running can do 1.5 miles in 9:40.

New comment by ofrzeta in "Grief and the AI split"

For the sake of argument let's assume we have a common goal: produce a software product that does its job and is maintainable (emphasis on the latter).

Now given that LLMs are known to not produce 100% correct code you should review every single line. Now the production rate of LLMs is so high that it becomes very hard to really read and understand every line of the output. While at the same time you are gradually losing the ability to understand everything because you stopped actively coding. And at the same time there are others in your team who aren't that diligent adding more to the crufty code base.

What is this if not a recipe for disaster?

"Kubernetes backed by S3-compatible object storage for WAL archiving — giving you 11 nines of durability on your backups .. " - that might be the case with AWS S3 but maybe not with Minio or even Ceph when you need to operate it yourself.

Anyway that interview question is so stupid it hurts. I would never expect just a simple answer to an interview question and mark it off as "done". It's much more valuable to get into a dialogue and see how the candidate is approaching things.

You also don't seem to like quotes very much. You have used them properly when you were referring to the token "cause". However you did not when you were referring to "its" and "it's" which made your contribution much harder to read.

Turns out googling for "8½ window system" gives no results (although Google's KI has this to say 'Based on the search results, "8½" refers to the Windows 8.1 update, which was released in 2013 to address critical user feedback regarding the original Windows 8')

However googling for "8 1/2 window system" leads to a proper page about the 8½ window system https://9p.io/sys/doc/8%C2%BD/8%C2%BD.html

It shouldn't be too hard to reproduce it with a tiling window manager and some quirky colors.
