reddit_clone··on I setup my terminal for max productivity
I actually seem to use most of the tools listed in the article. Not oh-my-zsh though. I use prezto.

For me, the most bang for buck is using zsh history search with fzf. It's like a second brain. I have command line history going back years and can pull anything up by typing few snippets of text..

reddit_clone··on Shell History Is Your Best Productivity Tool
Indeed. Zsh history + FZF is my second brain.

I tag some commands with #some-comment in the end so I can search easier.

reddit_clone··on M 4.8 – 2024 Whitehouse Station, New Jersey Earthquake
>earthquake I felt in NYC

I am getting anxious just thinking about this. With all those sky scrappers..

The _only_ application I still miss years after moving to Mac osx.
reddit_clone··on Why Elixir (2014)
Its somewhat painful to watch modern languages and ecosystem reinvent (mostly in an inferior manner) things that Erlang (and Lisp) had since so long ago.

Talk about under-appreciated.

reddit_clone··on Pyenv – lets you easily switch between multiple versions of Python
You missed Pipenv :-)

Edit: Oh I see you didn't. I can't read.

reddit_clone··on Pyenv – lets you easily switch between multiple versions of Python
Casual Python user. I found all these things very confusing.

Then I found Pipenv. Sticking with it. (Emacs has support for this).

reddit_clone··on Dune: Part Two Is the Best Sci-Fi Film of the Decade
Not to mention so much internal dialog. Hard to translate into film.
reddit_clone··on Show HN: RAM Prices
Lol.

$400 added for 18 extra GBs of RAM !

reddit_clone··on Meta AI releases Code Llama 70B
Would the not-yet-released M3 Mac Mini with upgraded RAM be enough to do some beginner level LLM work?
reddit_clone··on Alaska Airlines flight 1282 NTSB preliminary report [pdf]
Considering all those scary scenarios, what happened was probably the most favourable outcome. It could have been a major disaster hundred different ways..
reddit_clone··on Flathub: One million active users and growing
A TUI would be a good addition?
reddit_clone··on Meta AI releases Code Llama 70B
I am not too familiar with LLMs and GPUs (Not a gamer either). But want to learn.

Could you please expand on what else would be capable of running such models locally?

How about a linux laptop/desktop with specific hardware configuration?

reddit_clone··on Boeing 737-900ER: Second model to be inspected after 737 MAX 9 blowout
There is also the primal fear of falling down (I often have dreams of falling down and get jolted awake).

Another major issue is the awareness and helplessness. In a car accident everything happens so fast, you only have time to go 'On Sh..'. Sometimes not even that. Some people get T-Boned and die without knowing what happened.

But in case of an airliner, usually you know well ahead of time something is wrong. Engines are visibly on fire, there is fire in the cabin, it is flying side ways, it is lurching all over the place, it is spinning out of control.. etc. You have time to panic , scream, curse and cry.

Personally this is what terrifies me.

> Like was it really just good luck nobody sat there?

Another point of good fortune was the altitude. Since the aircraft was still climbing, everyone was sitting down and wearing seatbelts.

At cruising altitude, people would have taken off the seat belts, started moving around the cabin and got sucked out due to extreme pressure differential.

All in all this was the most favourable outcome.

reddit_clone··on Modern misconceptions about medieval warfare
It must have yeah? It is not exactly the ice wall in Westeros. But it must have acted as a major speed bump for any invading army.

Getting across animals and heavy equipment is not easy.

Cause enough delay to send some more soldiers to deter them some more?

I hate how much compute/energy is chewed up by anti-virus and 'defender' software (Malware ?)
reddit_clone··on Ask HN: What's your "it's not stupid if it works" story?
I had a friend who wrote a minimal dbms in awk just because someone told him it couldn’t be done!
reddit_clone··on Show HN: Inshellisense – IDE style shell autocomplete
As much as I can, I do a 'mv ... /tmp' instead of 'rm -rf'. It gets the files out of the way, and provides a way out if that's not what I wanted.

'/tmp' will eventually be cleaned by the OS so no (prolonged) space worries.

reddit_clone··on Using Emacs as $EDITOR
Thats what I was doing until now.

Just today, from this thread, I learned about 'emacsclient -t'. This was exactly what I didn't know I needed.

It opens a frame in the terminal (very quickly..) still have everything that my running GUI emacs has.

Perfect.

reddit_clone··on iPhone 15: users of Pro and Pro Max models complain of overheating issues
When I am wearing a mask (for health reasons) it won't unlock.

I too miss the finger print unlocking.

reddit_clone··on Why don’t Americans eat mutton?
Can confirm.

Most part of southern India, 'mutton' refers to goat meat. Sheep or Lamb have to be specified specially.

reddit_clone··on Why don’t Americans eat mutton?
I recently cut up a whole Jalapeno pepper into my stir fry and didn't feel any heat! There was a time it would have blown top of my head off.

What have they done? Bred all the spice out of all hot peppers ?

In corporate managed laptops it may not be an option to disable SIP.

:-(

There is still a lot of Perl code around. Something like this would be super useful.

reddit_clone··on Show HN: SeaGOAT – local, “AI-based” grep for semantic code search
I had the same question. With modern (!?) microservices type development, functionality is spread all over the place in several repos. It would be great if SeaGOAT supports multiple repos.

It appears (from a brief glance) you can run it on a shared server. Only client runs on laptop.

I see in WholeFoods claims posted prominently that their bacon and sausages contain no Nitrates/Nitrites...
