danmur··on Mistral-7B Playing Doom
I'd love to give my robot vac water gun abilities so it can defend itself from cat attacks. One day.
danmur··on LLaMA now goes faster on CPUs
Uh yeah I would, and still am, take the Wikipedia backup for doomsday scenarios. I'm not even sure how that would be a competition
danmur··on People hate the idea of car-free cities until they live in one
Prove it!
danmur··on I no longer maintain my Emacs projects on Sourcehut
Well I personally am sick of seeing github profiles that are just a bunch of trash commits. List specific projects, what you contributed, and a link to who cares which service on your resume. Way easier to read
danmur··on I'm a Programmer and I'm Stupid
I have no idea what you're talking about I'm sorry. If you're talking about style and neatness in the same sense as style and neatness in literature it's just as important in code. If not then style and neatness is just an aspect of good grammar and simple hygiene, should be mostly done on autopilot. Maybe you have some other experience of pointless pedantry but I don't know what it is.
danmur··on I'm a Programmer and I'm Stupid
Its easier for new team members to understand consistently formatted code. Just one less thing to get in the way. Some people are too stupid to use an autoformatter though :P.
danmur··on Microsoft is ending support for the Windows Subsystem for Android (WSA)
I keep having that view change too, never been able to work out why. It's very annoying.
danmur··on ZX – A tool for writing better scripts
Maybe it should say that somewhere.
danmur··on Show HN: ReadToMe (iOS) turns paper books into audio
They are saying it's too expensive. I think it's too expensive too, and although it's not my area I think the AI is unnecessary for that cost; not every solution needs to have the latest trend shoehorned into it. Presumably people with sight issues are like me in not wanting to pay extra for the technology used.
danmur··on JVM Performance Comparison for JDK 21
whew lucky
danmur··on FDA says 561 deaths tied to recalled Philips sleep apnea machines
Same. For me it was a lesson to complain to my Dr about everything (and also to have a regular doctor).
danmur··on Marlon Brando Was a Secret Tech Geek and Photoshop Ace (2015)
One would assume you viewed it
danmur··on How to Eat a Big Burger
I like how the last answer says basically "order soup". That's a weird way of eating a burger.
danmur··on Technitium DNS Server: Self host a DNS server for privacy and security
Looks like .net to me: https://github.com/TechnitiumSoftware/DnsServer
danmur··on The Mating Psychology of Incels – The Journal of Sex Research
Do you want to ask something in particular or is this just a long and annoying questionnaire? :)
danmur··on The Mating Psychology of Incels – The Journal of Sex Research
I assume that some women who don't have sex suffer from BPD, yes. I can't recall ever thinking that about someone on an individual basis.
danmur··on The Mating Psychology of Incels – The Journal of Sex Research
Or they have borderline personality disorder and don't realise they're manipulating and hurting people :/

EDIT: So just to clarify since I think there's a disconnect between what I was saying and what people are hearing, I was talking about myself here. And I am a dude. People are complicated and our brains can go into a tailspin for lots of reasons. Like k8s only less complex and with less YAML.

danmur··on The Mating Psychology of Incels – The Journal of Sex Research
I wonder what the next level of that is called (or even this level, no idea what a summary of an abstract of a summary is)
danmur··on Show HN: Material Files – Open Source Material Design File Manager for Android
Looks really nice! I've been using FX for years, looks like a lot of similar features, will have to try this.
danmur··on Error handling in Go web apps shouldn't be so awkward
I think it's more a sign that Go will eventually pick up (some of/all of) the features people complain of it missing, in time. Maybe when it's a complete language it will still be simple; maybe trying to keep it artificially simple now will hamper it later. Remains to be seen.
danmur··on Show HN: Auto Wiki – Turn your codebase into a Wiki
Love how github is basically a synonym for git now. I'm sure it's fine, homogeneity works so well everywhere else. Robust.
danmur··on Apple tells EU it has five different App Stores, not just one
A monopoly on monopolies
danmur··on Carta to exit secondary trading business
He could be both, who are we to judge
danmur··on Just because you can doesn't mean you should: the <meter> element
Progress can go backwards too. Part of a file transfer might be determined to be corrupt, or it might refer to my career progress which frequently goes backwards.
danmur··on Fired comedian ordered to get day job back after jokes ruled 'simply funny'
I remember having to rename all our branches but when I asked whether the term 'master data' should also be retired there were crickets. No that one's different
danmur··on Beijing criticises Netherlands’ move to block ASML exports to China
I get ASML confused with ASMR and this isn't helping!
danmur··on Subject-First Commit Messages
My work isn't what I would call highly professional in terms of infra, but for us the old URL from our Jira move is dead and gone (including the parent domain) but the ticket references work in the new instance (redirecting to a new project name also). I think you just have to pick your poison, nothing's going to work all the time without small amounts of effort from IT.
danmur··on What is the point of a public key fingerprint?
For sure, I often just look at the beginning and end
danmur··on Tesla claims California false-advertising law violates First Amendment
I don't think it's a serious statement, they're just taking it to a ridiculous extreme to demonstrate the point. Or maybe I completely misunderstood, who knows!
danmur··on Show HN: TSDiagram – Diagrams as Code with TypeScript
Thank you :)
