100% agree. CAGED is extremely underrated. The starting premise is so simple, that most intermediate players go "yeah, yeah, sure...that's cool but it's not very insightful". It's when you start hanging all the basic (and probably more) scale/arpeggio patterns off it that it starts to become more and more valuable.
This. We are all too worried about the future. Like today's "I won't use Codeberg because tomorrow they could ban all repositories that contain Chinese characters." Well if that happens then you move. We all die in the end anyway.
It's hard to understand decisions like this from an organization offering an alternative to Github since it goes directly against the network effects that they are supposed to be trying to build. I understand the point of banning a project after it comes out that they've commited crimes, but I hardly want the host of my repo to be the authority deciding whether my project is good or bad before the fact.
You can literally take the exact same software that Codeberg uses, Forgejo, and stand up your own alternative with different policies, with the only real cost being operational in nature. It seems less the case that it's a "low-cardinality space", and more that people feel entitled to other people's labour under their own terms.
I agree that IntelliJ is a monster of a resource hog, but I have yet to find an editor where code navigation is as good. That's basically all I use it for these days, in the days of LLMs, and I still think it's worth it. VSCode, especially for golang, is terrible. I might be holding it wrong, but I've really tried, and it's just not good enough.
Before LLMs, when I still refactored by hand, coworkers who were using vim or vscode used to ask me to do big refactors, because IntelliJ always got it right, whereas with the other editors it was hit-or-miss.
My job did a 'lunch concert'. A violinist and pianist were invited to play during our lunch hour. Great initiative.
And then they notified us by means of an ai-generated poster involving a photorealistic image of a violinist and pianist playing in an office setting. But not the actual artists, no, fake real artists.
And I feel like that is such an insult to the actual artists? Like, these are real, actual people, with real skills, that are doing real work, and apparently that's the same as these two fake non-existant people?
So yeah, I share your sentiment. But I may just be old woman shouting at clouds with the old man.
I'd be happy if things stopped interfering with standard X11 select/paste. It's now a random crap shoot if I have to hold Shift or not to regain that elegance.
And, the whole idea of copy/paste having to use both mouse AND keyboard (select Ctrl-c click Ctrl-v) is barbaric. X11 got it right and it seems all "modern" apps are trying really hard to introduce barbarisms.
Creatine raises creatinine in kidney function tests. For a healthy person, this isn't a problem, but if you already have high creatinine (from a kidney problem), it makes it harder to interpret test results.
I have YouTube premium and the UX issues have increased over time. Most recently the UI panel that expands into the comments section just stops responding and then you have to force close and restart the app. Another problem is that it randomly just drops your queued videos, entirely - always when you force close it, but also randomly. Sometimes random icons are invisible. After leaving a comment you sometimes can't see it.
The A3000 had a ficker fixer. If you meant that the other later models should have also included it, I agree.
Regarding the MMU, the problem was/is the OS. AmigaOS uses message passing between processes extensively, and those messages often involved passing pointers to structures that the receiver expected to be able to dereference and even writ to in some cases.
I'm on record repeatedly arguing over the years that it would be possible to retrofit at least limited memory protection onto AmigaOS, but it's decidedly not something that'd be simple to do, and most likely you'd need to basically sandbox old apps and create new API's for new apps to do it properly.
When my niece was very young, I showed her my Polaris pool cleaner. It’s a simple contraption. Just some hoses attached to a small box with a few wheels. It rolls around the pool, sucking up leaves on the bottom.
She took it all in, and then turned to me and asked: “Is that robot’s family living in the ocean?”
Generally for restaurants, the better the menu looks, the better the decor, the worse the food is. The 'hole in the wall' places are always the hidden gems. The slick-looking places are always a disappointment.
I've tried (all?) the AI stuff they published, it was awful; but I was able to easily uninstall/deactivate those features once I realized it was not helpful.
On my MBP M4 or my Linux laptop, I never get the impression that it's bloat.
Prior to using IntelliJ I had been a Eclipse user and I've never experienced even 5% of the pain I had with Eclipse since moving to IntelliJ.
When everything is going to shite, I welcome with pleasure my yearly invoice from JetBrains, thinking that, at least, there is a company pushing quality software that deserves my money.
Look how much you need to defend it. All of you. Can’t let it go because your screen told you that you must be pious. Your religion demands it.
It was made to virtue signal and instead of just admitting that is something wrong with society, you are here to defend it and make anyone that notices the one with the issue.
If you are interested in a non-fiction book, check out Veritas: Truth Across Cultures[1]. It's a collection of quotes/saying/proverbs that are similar between cultures, which I call truths. I am in interested in long term thinking, things that stood the test of time. This was primarily but together for myself, as a lens to view the world.
If it's used for both, then you couldn't have "--" itself as a pathspec. In your first example, the current meaning is: a pathspec containing "rev", "--", and "pathspec".
It always annoys me when on Windows (often accidentally) selecting something replaces what I explicitly Ctr+C'd because there are no separate clipboards.
I don't know if having a real-time ML/inference model (brain simulation with realtime input/output) is even remotely possible for a significantly big size.
So happy being able to buy a Fairphone. Have replaced the screen once, the battery twice, and the back twice too. Fairphone 4 on the its 5th year. I want to upgrade but this thing is really resilient.
I think there's a difference between passively and actively putting no thought into something; generating a menu with AI involves deciding that it's worth having but that you don't care about the quality.
On my mac if you scroll slightly a blob appears on a slider on the right and you slide it to the top to go to the top. I'm not sure about these hidden user interface features that you only find through trial and error.
I doubt it's more profitable - ai overview is free/runs even when signed out in incognito, while the frontier models from openai and anthropic are nauseatingly expensive, especially for enterprise, and have a ton of users who are willing to cough up that money. Even if they aren't profitable because their cogs is even higher, they certainly have revenue with ai overview doesn't really have
