Apologies for paywall; archive.* captchas failing for me

Is this a troll

> the scary middle

Not coworkers, but I started getting contributions on public GitHub repos that attempted to close issues tagged with the default "good first issue" label. Got real excited when one project I'm stoked for got its first contribution, until I looked at the PR. The account it was tied to was someone looking for work. Looked like what a model would output for a LinkedIn Job seeker NPC--im sure you can imagine.

My approach is ubolite/no script/privacy badger for when I really want chrome.

Otherwise I just run Brave. Always brave on mobile since chrome native doesn't support extensions. Seems fine for me. Oh and I set my DNS server to adguard

Probably some pixels or whatever get through but I don't have to see ads shrug

The difference between pre- and post-chatbot writeups is stark: https://igor-blue.github.io/2021/03/24/apt1.html

$100 says OP is Claude

What does setting this up look like? Qemu vm and run there? How do you interface with version control and deployment?

Iirc there are at least two cli flags that should do this. Can't remember the disabler--check `claude --help`. `--append-system-prompt` to overwrite.

Crazy they merged into main holy moly

One can (maybe, probably) disable copilot completely in vscode: chat.disableAIFeatures

I am considering pinning whatever the earliest version in which this setting was introduced. I can't think of a single feature VSCode has implemented in the last three years that I couldn't go without. The binary for 121 is like 50% larger than 120.

I picked up Go a couple weeks ago. It's giving me the same warm feeling I get when I read Ruby. When I got to the concurrency section in the tour, I fell in love. Channels and goroutines blew my mind, especially because I had been wrestling with websockets in Node.

Why is everything like this? One must do backflips to thwart these attempts at surveillance. I am getting pretty tired of it and about to go full Stallman

I wouldn't hold my breath.

Lots of people talking about Google being strictly worse than a number of search engines (bing, duck, etc) not been my experience. Brave default search is awful. Duck was terrible last I used it. Google still great for me, but I have a decent amount of "privacy controls" implemented (DNS, vpn, browser extensions) and i basically dork most searches--average search looks more like a find invocation than English. In this last regard especially, Google is peerless, imo Been a while since I looked around though. Is there an engine that supports all the operators that Google does and that provides results of better or equivalent quality?

Would like to see the numbers if we exclude healthcare jobs. I think job growth has been net-negative across the board when healthcare is excluded.

2+2 is great. Still go check on casino megathreads if I wanna play somewhere in a new town

Mythos is either dangerous or not. We are taking dangerous to mean that the number of vulns it finds will be much greater than bugs found with available tools.

Since mythos found only one additional vuln, and since x+1 is not much greater than x, it follows that mythos is not dangerous per the definition above.

I played so much gtoons. I remember meeting berniefoo in a MSN group and being starstruck.

Recommend joining the discord linked in gtoons.app; announcement coming soon.

Processing async messages received over a socket with multiple namespaces.

Any async chain really where the steps are in a pipeline

Rest of industry: OK we need to set up our agent harness, write our SOUL.md, config permissions, skills, mcps, hooks, env...

Matz: gem env|info and find should do

Ah yeah I'm only vaguely familiar with Go. Didn't realize the speed differential was this drastic.

Makes me miss Ruby. Been in node typescript recently. Everything is a callback returning a promise in some weird resolution chain, mapped and conditional types, having to define schemas for everything and getting yelled at by lsp all day... Oh then you gotta write react components and worry about rerenders and undefined behavior caused by impurity in state, npm, arcane .json configs

Versus active record, mvc, yaml configs, bundler, beautiful syntax, robust and trivially extendable stdlib, amazing native debugging and cli docs out of the box, everything out of the box if you're using Rails

I do not understand why it becomes increasingly irrelevant, especially in web development. I kinda get scripting--bash and python tend to run everywhere

Not really slow since YJIT, I think 3.1?

I did read it a while back. Was curious what parent was referring to specifically

Care to expound on that? Maybe a reference to the relevant section?

I tried to write this function in Power Query (Excel hell). Gave up after an hour or so.

Lol even the name is crazy

Ha. I'm surprised it's not a CI job

That's me. Frankly, looking at just uninstalling VSCode because Copilot straight-up gets in the way of so much, and they stopped even bothering with features that are not related to it (with one exception of native browser in v112, which, admittedly, is great)

They didn't even link the setting in their email. They didn't even name it specifically, just vaguely gestured toward it. Dark patterns, but that's Microslop for ya
