so he can count to three after all, interesting

You're thinking of bloat, jank is things like putting a cauldron on your head and the physics engine firing you into the stratosphere.

There's a VT520 at my local hackspace which I spent some time getting running with a Pi, it's surprisingly practical - though as the author says the DEC keyboards are atrocious, it's like typing into wet sand.

Hi, I do this.

> are these nits asks or just you opinions?

If I've approved the PR, then these are changes I'm asking you to do, but not ordering you to do. You are free to say "no" to my request

> What if I dont address all of them

Then you will have decided that you don't agree with my recommendation and that's OK.

I only ever do this with people I trust - I am trusting you to review each of my nitpicks and make an informed decision if they're necessary or not. Generally I'd like you to reply to the ones you don't do with a reason though.

The entire point of LLMs is that they produce statistically average results, so of course you're going to have problems getting them to produce non-average code.

I mean it does add like a millisecond of unnecessary delay that wouldn't be there if it took the most efficient route. It's not much, but it does add up!

I'd like it if the vagus nerve didn't do a loop around my neck for no particular reason. (Giraffes would probably like that even more)

The IATA has 367 active airlines.

Bear in mind that this doesn't apply to charter airlines, only public passenger ones.

Given there are about 200 countries in the world, you'd need 5 large airlines per country, which is a lot! Most of them don't have any and rely on other countries. Still more have a single national carrier.

Recipes? For washing clothes?

helpfully the user provides a second tool which automatically turns off Windows Defender so you can't be affected by this: https://github.com/Nightmare-Eclipse/UnDefend

> I use Linux daily and don't want to switch to Windows just to connect to the printer's FTP service

I wonder if the author tried using their file manager to connect? I haven't needed any kind of external file management system since switching to Linux, Dolphin just handles everything (sftp, ftp, samba, etc) for me natively in the same window.

> Won’t a better option be subsidizing taxes for grocery stores, and let the discounts competitively pass unto the customers?

I'm sure this time trickle-down economics will work and not simply line the pockets of business owners

That's fine, there's already an API for this: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Window/befo...

That's very different to sites like tomshardware that pops up a "hey why don't you check out this extra slop you didn't ask for" when you try to navigate away

Funny, I'd assume we'd got consensus on that one.

- Anyone who recommends disabling paste as a security feature is a fraud

- Doing UA sniffing is always a mistake

- If the user's browser doesn't support `autocomplete="cc-number"` then they're already used to it not working, you don't need to care about it

- You should always make your form as accessible as possible regardless of if the user is a robot or visually impaired

- Making your website intentionally inaccessible may be a federal crime in the USA as the ADA doesn't care what you think about openclaw.

> Abundance and growing the pie for everyone is also an outcome if this is done right.

Do you genuinely believe there's any chance that's going to happen?

Only for tasks that are created in synchronous code. If you start two tasks that each make a web request and then start a new task with the result of that request you will immediately lose ordering.

> This makes it possible to write simple code that’s both concurrent and safe.

Yeah, great, my hello world program is deterministic.

What happens when you introduce I/O? Is every network call deterministic? Can you depend on reading a file taking the same amount of time and being woken up by the scheduler in the same order every time?

Orbital mechanics and "next to" don't go together particularly well, so it's not quite as easy as popping something up there.

The Chinese have put Queqiao-1 in the earth-moon L2 point which seems to be working out for them, but I guess the Americans aren't likely to be asking permission to use it.

that's an imported PR, presumably from github. Note how the copilot comments come from the same user as the author, with an `imported` tag.

Were those three games the best results you got? Only the bike one appeared to have an actual ... game to it.

The "Racing game" appeared to be a car following a set path with a freecam and there didn't seem to be any gameplay mechanics in the snowboarding one, just a physics entity wildly crashing down a hill with no consequences or score.

> Let’s revisit the doomsday scenario. Say programming is fully automated and nobody writes code anymore. Does Emacs die?

Commercial programming will be fully automated. That will not stop people doing it by hand. For all intents and purposes clothing manufacturing is fully automated but some people still do it themselves.

One example near to my heart is my mother. She collects her dog's shed winter coat in the spring, cards it, spins it and ultimately knits it into a coat she puts back on the dog the next autumn - all by hand. She could just buy a cheap dog coat from Amazon, but she thinks it's funny to see the dog wearing a coat made of its own fur so she bought the equipment and learned the functionally useless skills required to do it.

No matter what level of automation is available, a small number of people will still do things the hard way as a hobby or out of perverseness. We might be living in the matrix in 100 years but I'm certain someone will still be trying to work out how to exit vim in their holopod

I'm always confused by this kind of comment about AI accessing people's chrome history because it seems to imply that the kind of person who uses this tool is both too stupid to know what private browsing is and also is into absolutely heinous stuff.

I feel like the average person is going to be like "oh no it'd be terrible if everyone found out I really like the 'big boobs' category on pornhub"

That's an argument against references isn't it? Rather than shadowing.

I'm curious as to what their agenda is? I don't read it very often but I've not noticed anything overt. Could you give me any examples? I'd love to know more.

Slightly confused as to why - surely homebrew adds itself to the PATH ahead of the system utilities?

Also - surely vim auto-reads your vimrc?

Worse still, the loop-de-loops can make your packets dizzy which is an unpleasant experience for anyone doing a video call with you and makes games such as VR chat completely untenable.

It's less than two hundred words long, I promise you it's not going to take very long to read

> Your last point tells me that you haven't experienced hyperfocus. The fact that you ascribe consequences to the act of prolonged focus means you don't experience the ADHD type of hyperfocus.

What a strange thing to say

> When I hyperfocus for hours, the primary emotion is satisfaction

Lucky you. Are you in your 20s? I thought it was great when I was in my 20s.

> which happens to override negative consequences for long enough that your stiff back is no longer correlated at all to the fact that you've sat motionless over a keyboard for hours.

And your stiff back magically fixes itself the moment you stop concentrating?

> Even raising the question of avoiding hyperfocus excludes you. Hyperfocus is generally not something that can be avoided or controlled. The chemical gradients hit a tipping point and you're committed whether you want to or not-- and without your awareness or consent.

Avoiding it is easy, you simply prevent yourself ever having enough focus for it to hit, or have external stimuli that can cut through it. I have a bunch of alarms and reminders set up throughout the day that are generally enough to jerk me out of it and remind me that I need to breathe properly, sit up straight, drink water and attend to bodily functions.

> You appear to be suffering from bad work ethic/balance, not ADHD.

Thanks for the armchair diagnosis, maybe I should stop taking these pills the doctor gave me
