Feels a bit like 3d movies. The producers can practically taste a fresh new market, just have to get the consumers stampeding.

I don't think there's been the Avatar equivalent yet, and though it might take a bit longer, I think there will still be a tipping point where enough people realise it's garbage and Zuckerberg is thrown into a long dark well forever. Followed by the peoples' tim cook right to the stomach.

Slightly more seriously, this stuff reminds me of that book Snow Crash (which I love). But it's never going to be like that, and even if it was, the virtual world aspect of that is a bit of a horrible dystopia. It's like a drug.

I think YAML was designed to machine readable. What would you do with it otherwise? Nobody's writing poetry in it (that I know of)

I assume neither of us has experienced these YAML bites that others have :).

I don't mind TOML but I don't find it either intuitive or obvious. The syntax for how nested things are flattened I just find really hard to read and write. It's fine though, not that big a deal.

250mb eh :). That deserves a bullet point

It's impossible to discuss this thing with a straight face

"I used to be with ‘it’, but then they changed what ‘it’ was. Now what I’m with isn’t ‘it’ anymore and what’s ‘it’ seems weird and scary. It’ll happen to you!"

They get away with it because they're cute damn them

Well, I tried extracting fields from some logs I had lying around and I can tell you why I think it's not useful: 1. I select DEBUG and INFO, but it doesn't work out that there are WARNs etc in there and extract those too.

2. Some of the regexes are just.. wrong? I selected individual fields but there's one mangled regex that gives me two fields and the text in between, I didn't ask for that and it's no use.

3. None of the regexes could extract the date I selected (of the form 2023-03-28 05:23:28.844); some of the 'agents' used the literal date, the only one that broken it down into \d's didn't match anything because the DEBUG and INFO were mangled into there.

I'm not really sure how this would be at all useful in its current form?

Prompt Engineer is such a pompous title. I think AI operator would be more accurate.

What do you mean, Windows is getting better and better :P

If you consider other consequences that result then it can be "weakness" to take an easier path. I won't use ridiculous examples, but many bad things have happened because it was easier.

I like how the PlayStation app is on there, I assume not because it's an unhealthy app but it's so badly made and rage-inducing to use

I wonder if the algorithms are tuned for different cultures' wall materials

lol

Lots of people at my work use it, but I don't know if I'd consider it essential. If you can use any editor/IDE very fluently that's good; probably doesn't hurt to learn with vim if you don't already have that.

All of mine are missing bar the first one

Maybe if it was more like an interview, but if they don't answer a direct question with a direct answer they get a little stab. ScoMo would have been a pincushion years ago.

This sounds so familiar :P

Server side includes work nicely for this, I think nginx was what I used (long time ago now). You can even inline them on load but reload htmx-style with minimal effort.

I don't think anyone disrespects the commercial success, just the technical crappiness of the product

Yep. All my personal projects I give a name that's related to the subject but will never be a public name. Helps a lot with naming paralysis.

The title seems accurate and appropriate to me. If I were selecting a framework for performance I might chose this framework, which I would use through Python, rather than a Go framework that I would program in Go. It's a framework, you use it with Python, and the performance is good (apparently, I didn't check).

It could be much worse, they could develop emacs instead of vim

I don't really understand how false positives can be eliminated. Maybe it's still better overall.

The nix command was nicer before flakes too

Just me of course but I don't think I'd guess that without certain UI cues. With checkboxes for eg I wouldn't even think of shift clicking. Not disagreeing, just thinking aloud :)

I have one of the Ericsson-branded ones of these (MC218), such a great device. It still works too. I had an Ericsson phone (the little flip one) and the little IR modem that plugged into the bottom of the phone. Data was so prohibitively expense I don't think I ever used it.

It also didn't export attachments when I used it (long while ago now though)

Yeah that's true, it is different. Neat :). With Scala you would put immutable types in your list if you wanted to, but I get what you mean, it's not the same.

Scala has immutable types in the standard library too, but I don't think they make much sense without the language being statically typed. By which I mean adding immutable types to Python or whatever's stdlib would not be that hard, but it would most likely be confusing since you don't know for sure what you have until you look at it and see.
