throwaway918299 — Sat, 26 Oct 2024 00:51:11 +0000

Despite being proprietary, 1Password still hasn’t had any fuckery that I am aware of. I have been tempted to switch to an open source solution many times but I think I’ll be parking right here for a few more years yet.

In practice that's never been a problem for me. Work is delivered in functional units and segmented "sections" of code are basically useless on their own for the purpose of debugging.

You have 4 problems because the AI made two more of them up!

We are careening toward that future at a record clip. Maybe not the ending…but the AI girlfriends are already here.

You answered your own question. Mormonism is a cult.

throwaway918299 — Thu, 24 Oct 2024 00:16:21 +0000

This is awesome and feels providential.

I just dug my Vita out of a drawer last week and have been playing some portable ports of some PS3 games that I wanted to play but can’t hook up the PS3 for (ratchet and clank, sly cooper, god of war 1 and 2, and some other indie games).

Was shocked to discover the store is still functional. I bought the PS1 Armored Core games for it.

Love this thing. It really got done dirty in the market and with Sony’s support.

Tempted to jailbreak it and try to make some homebrew stuff.

merge feature branches when reintegrating main, squash merge onto the main branch when you’re finished - best of both worlds imo

I never need to rebase, or unfuck a botched rebase or go reflog diving - and the commit history is linear where it matters.

I am way too much of a small fry for the CCP to give a single fuck about me.

Google, on the other hand, can have a massive influence on my day to day life.

I’ve been a rails developper my entire career and I’ve seen some sh*t with coffeescript monstrosities. I am so glad we moved away from that, and I won’t be going down that path again.

throwaway918299 — Sun, 20 Oct 2024 14:06:18 +0000

I'm more skeptical than most on the current wave of AI tech innovation.

However, believe it or not, humanity can collectively work on different things at the same time. And the people putting emoji generators in phones are probably not the people I would want doing cancer research. And many many things that we rely on today were not directly created by research in those topics and were born from innovation in other unrelated areas.

“Buy a different brand of tractor” isn’t the same as “let them feed bleach to babies”.

but then how will we prove that you aren’t a GPSlop bot?? If you don’t put your eyes in this database we’ll just have to debank you for your own good. Last thing we need is AI bots emptying out people’s bank accounts right?

throwaway918299 — Fri, 18 Oct 2024 11:16:00 +0000

I agree. It helped me completely bypass any discussion from management about “not high enough priority”. Amazon definitely did me a favour in many ways.

Here’s another reason to upgrade: your version is end of life and your cloud provider forced it.

Thank you Amazon!

I love Project Euler, it’s my go-to for learning the basics of new programming languages I want to learn.

Discord stores trillions of messages. If they haven’t figured out how to make a slop generator out of it yet, I’m sure it’s coming soon.

So glad I switched to MacOS for my desktop system a few years ago.

Microsoft will never get another penny from me.
