> they spend more every year

They also bring in more money every year.

> audacity to aggressively fundraise constantly by plastering every article with ads begging for money.

This is ... really unnecessarily dramatic and not really truthful. They do a fundraise campaign once a year with an easily-closed banner, the proceeds of which they use to fund many projects that enrich humanity's collective knowledge.

Seriously, you guys need to direct your energy elsewhere. The WMF is not the type of org people should be complaining about on HN.

Nothing about this is clear. What makes you think that, if the donations were to significantly fall off, they would be unable to reduce expenses?

And in any event, I have a really hard time getting worked up about the relatively small amount of money they deal with - and use to do a lot of good for the world - while corruption and greedy corporations are as rampant and filthy rich as they are.

Feel free to share.

I really hope they make more movies about them though.

The scenes with shipwrecks always stood out to me. One ship was lost during a storm with all hands, and he simply ended the chapter with something like "My god, 600 men..."

> really excellent wordplay.

I am a rather simple man, like Jack. One of my favorites remains:

“Two weevils crept from the crumbs.

‘You see those weevils, Stephen?’ said Jack solemnly. ‘I do.’

‘Which would you choose?’

‘There is not a scrap of difference. Arcades ambo. They are the same species of curculio, and there is nothing to choose between them.’

‘But suppose you had to choose?’

‘Then I should choose the right-hand weevil; it has a perceptible advantage in both length and breadth.’

‘There I have you,’ cried Jack. ‘You are bit – you are completely dished. Don’t you know that in the Navy you must always choose the lesser of two weevils? Oh ha, ha, ha, ha!”

I've found myself cracking up with Jack so many times. A truly excellent series that I'm actually currently re-reading :)

Anyway the author did address that

> Using LLMs this way allows me to work faster than not using LLMs at all, but I'm still slower than those who are willing to allow the machine to think for them. Instead of being 10x faster, I'm probably only 2x faster. But what I lose out on in terms of speed, I gain in terms of a deeper understanding of my code.

This bothered me in ways I cannot currently put into words.

Otherwise I can't really see your point.

Oh, my apologies, I missed that line.

> I don't even really know what I'd do with QMK if I could use it. This is the first keyboard I've owned that was advertised to support QMK and I was kind of hoping to learn more about the kinds of clever things that can (and cannot) be done with it; I'm not sure what I'm missing out on here.

I felt the same way before I started using it. Once you start though, you'll start thinking of ways to tweak it for your own workflow and pretty soon you won't be able to go without it.

I prefer "what do you like to do", personally
