- Love this. My resume has been in LaTeX for over 20 years now.
Underappreciated IMHO. You can version control it, no dealing with wild Word shenanigans. Totally deterministic. Just find a style, insert your bullets and you have a nice sharable PDF.
Nowadays you can even have your preferred LLM do the conversion for you. LaTeX is finicky and I've had it fix warnings in mine that I couldn't be bothered to.
Good stuff, highly recommend a LaTeX resume, whether or not you drink coffee.
- The worst part isn't even that the quality drops off, it's that the quality drops off but the tone of the responses don't. So hallucinations can start and it's just confidently wrong or even dangerous code and the only way to know better is to be better than the LLM in the first place.
They might surpass us someday, but we aren't there yet.
- If you're not using it where it's useful to you, then I still wouldn't say you're getting left behind, but you're making your job harder than it has to be. Anecdotally I've found it useful mostly for writing unit tests and sometimes debugging (can be as effective as a rubber duck).
It's like the 2025 version not not using an IDE.
It's a powerful tool. You still need to know when to and when not to use it.
- Apple maps, "Intelligence", siri, etc all run on device because Apple is in the market of selling devices. As many as they can. Whereas google is in the market of selling you to advertisers.
It's literally a major difference in their fundamental business models.
- When you're used to left wing circlejerks, a 50/50 balance looks very right wing indeed. But it's perception more than reality.
- Yup, that's how they got Ross Ulbricht.
Idiot used "rossulbricht at gmail dot com" under the same username he advertised silk road.

- And yet they set thousands of them off no matter who was nearby.
- The word on X is it was Pentaerythritol Tetranitrate (PETN): https://x.com/MattWGraver/status/1836093195240800522 (not me)
- A 10 year old girl died too. They took no precautions to limit damage bystanders even assuming every person with one was a BadGuy™ which makes it terrorism and reprehensible.

All I know about powershell I just learned by accident: ls works
- I dug into this a little and one of the files is 164GB. How do you even work with these files? That is, how would I search for my SSN on my windows box?
- But then who would pay for all of Israel's bombs? Think of the foreign nation whose citizens are happier and healthier than you with single payer healthcare?
- And what if the police or the government are the bad people? Authoritarianism is a non-working solution.
- It's actually a great way to tell that it is known that the punishment is insufficient.
- >Author and programmer Sam Hughes, by the way, pushed this to the limit and invented Base 65,536, which includes basically every character from every language. It is ridiculous and unnecessary, but when has that ever stopped programmers?
- The dry sarcastic humor of the author made it very obvious to me that this was satire. I have a very similar sense of humor, at least partly. And I'm a native American English speaker.
Giveaways:
>I logged in to my JetStreamers Diamond Altitude account and started clicking.
Satire! It's not called that, but it's a similar marketing wankery version.
>This clickable rascal would allow me to access the entire internet through my airmiles account. This would be slow. It would be unbelievably stupid. But it would work.
"It would be unbelievably stupid but I'm going to do it anyway!"
>Several co-workers were asking me to review their PRs because my feedback was “two weeks late” and “blocking a critical deployment.” But my ideas are important too so I put on my headphones and smashed on some focus tunes.
Even this was a sarcastic/satirical leadup.
>I’d forgotten to charge my headphones so Limp Bizkit started playing out of my laptop speakers. Fortunately no one else on the plane seemed to mind so we all rocked out together.
Limp Bizkit is a very famous (or infamous) band that gets notoroiusly mocked. The odds of even a single person rocking out with that playing out of laptop speakers is tiny. Two people? Everyone on the plane? 0.0% chance.
I don't know why I put so much effort into explaining this.
- The last time I drove around the DC beltway this accurately describes it: Picture a parking lot going 80 mph. The speed limit was 65 mph.
Driving 65 in that situation makes you the bad guy. You may literally cause deaths. Blind obedience to authority is not a virtue.
- Because bad people exist and there are imminent dangers? There are legitimately good uses of people shooting people all the time. Hostage situations being the painfully obvious example.
What even is this question?
- You'll likely enjoy "Vault 7: CIA Hacking Tools Revealed: Japanese style Faces"

- What's the r for? reddit (markdown?)
- >use only quad9 dns.

by the way. Seems obvious in hindsight but I looked it up.
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is basically training yourself that you have the agency to fix things and imrpove yourself and situation.
The current fad of playing victim is basically the opposite of this. By playing victim you're actually making your own mental health worse.
- Wait till you hear about buying governments.
- Jupiter is basically a big broom for Sol system. It's quite a nice GSV, don't you think?
- Somebody feels called out.
