Hey hey lets take a step back. Why the ad hominem? Its a text editor, you have strong opinions about it, thats ok.

But wouldn’t you say that someone who has strong opinions about a text editor is also a nerd?

It might be a losing battle with scale. But can we please all try and make this platform have a little bit of civility?

IDEs have useful features like debuggers and lsp and documentation for sure, but why hate people for enjoying tinkering and setting things up the way they like them?

There are plenty of valid reasons not to want to use an ide: privacy, bloat, and lack of agency to nave a few.

I use both often at the same time: vim can be really great for looking at logs, and I need xCode and Android studio because of the way the ecosystems are currently set up.

But when will i get cheap GPUs

The GDB manual is an example of well written and helpful documentation. All of android is not.

Yeah me too

Maybe. If you’re talking about the invasive forms of BCI (ie not EEG) then it could be better. Biocompatibility is difficult, the article doesn’t go super in depth, but assuming they don’t get attacked by the immune system then maybe. But you still have to implant them by opening up the skull so there is that.

Wish my grandfather hadn’t left x.x

So I don’t doubt their motives— but was there a specific thing that they said about locking hardware?

Blarg I don’t know if corporations know what a teacher, student, or hobby is.

students, educators, and hobbyists will be empowered to rapidly prototype and test new solutions, with a clear path to commercialization

Or they think the people in the EU will do mass protests if they don’t get their product— forcing the regulators hands; maybe because of what happened with tiktok in Nepal— missing the nuance of the political and economic factors there however.

So I also agree that monarchs are pretty stupid. I don’t think the guy is perfect. But at the same time, if you happened to be born with a name/family that got you media attention, wouldn’t you want to use it to better the world? I don’t know much about this guy in particular, so it’s quite possible he is bad in other ways. But the way I see it’s not different than a kardashian raising awareness for something good. Should there opinion matter more than other people? No. Do i not fully understand the physiology of the people that watch celebrities lives with rapture? Yes. But are the people inherently bad? No.

Huh I didn’t think South Africa was much of a player in intelligence service games after the end of white majority rule. Learn something new everyday.

I like the idea of it; yet you can’t host private repos. I don’t want to be locked in to GitHub but as someone starting their career it’s important to show that you’re working on stuff. Hence I worry that moving away from GitHub will negatively impact my interviewing prospects.

Yeah that’s what I was thinking. That they were using stalls to do makeup. I supposed I can chock this up to my application of Mens public restroom culture (in the USA) where you try not to make eye contact and avoid one another. This led me to think that crowding around the mirror would be an uncomfortable experience for everyone involved. Hence, the stall being a more private place would be more comfortable with a pocket mirror or something but hey live and learn lmao

I mean you could do separate lines or something for that— but at the same time maybe that just means you need more bathrooms if there is a significant line. Also maybe making a separate powder room would reduce the lines by directing those who want to do make up or something to a different place.

I think finding sources for things is good. It doesn’t invalidate the message; there are plenty of photographs of malnourished children in Gaza without CP. Was it internally misleading? I don’t know. But I think we can assume the benefit of the doubt that the writer just chose an image from search results that looked emaciated.

Lmao typo

I have an i7-2600 prebuilt for my NAS— is idle most of the time, bought it for $100 4 years ago. Have pretty cheap power at like $0.12 per KWh, but again mostly idle so probably doesn’t cost much anyway.

I dunno I was a teenager last decade; sure people got anxious when there were the drills, but mostly people are desensitized to it.

It’s sorta like hearing about a fire in a far off place, or an earthquake, it could happen here, and that would be scary, and you feel bad, but at the end of the day if you let yourself worry about it you would just be in a constant state of panic.

So you talk a bit about legislation afterward and then go back to worrying about finding a job that pays a living wage. Since that economic catastrophe is not, as in the former case, a matter of statistical bad luck but an approaching inevitability.

We never know there could be a huge mega virus or giant mass cult death or something look on the bright side /s

I think this is dumb— not because he shouldn’t do it— or that it shouldn’t be illegal— but all the presidents since Bush Jr have used the same vague authorizations for fighting terrorism to justify strikes all over the Middle East and Africa— so there is precedent even if stupid precedent. Instead congress should just rescind those articles and take back their war declaration power. Except that they would also have to revoke the 1950s document that lets the president basically carry on a war for 60 days… it’s stupid, but I don’t see impeachment for this offense possible and just weakens the threat for the future. But maybe it’s already toast.
