- itslennysfault parentOP mentioned using this to scale WordPress instances in one of the comments. So I assume that had something to do with the choice. It probably wouldn't be TOO hard to support multiple dialects of SQL in the future though.
- What's wrong with kafka or what WILL BE wrong with kafka?
- They explicitly don't have a "nostr coin" or do anything "on chain" which I applaud them for especially since the Venn Diagram of Nostr and the crypto community is basically a circle.
- This is also the construction used for FAFO
FA = "try" (as a vulgar slang)
When you de-vulgar/de-slang it it becomes: try and find out
- Very odd. This must be some kind of Ubuntu issue. Out of curiosity I tried it in Chrome, Firefox and Safari on MacOS 15.5 and saw very little CPU usage and no difference with/without the video playing. I don't have a Ubuntu Desktop handy to confirm. Looking at the video it's nothing special. Just a fairly small mp4 using a native html5 video element to play it. Really no reason this should be causing issues.
- Just in case... Maybe you didn't wait long enough? I saw nothing so I came to the comments expecting a lot of others to day the animation is broken. However, it turns out it's a lot slower/longer than I thought. I saw the little bar on the left shrink to nothing and thought that was it and exited, but that's just the start. The full animation is the red circle shrinking all the way until it disappears. There is no illusion until the circle shrinks quite a bit.
- That's crazy... Did they bill you for the cost of shutting down the MRI and refilling the helium?
- I went through your exact same hate timeline. The CoffeeScript one was so bad that I was REALLY hesitant about TypeScript, but the whole "it's a superset of JS" thing won me over in the end.
I still hate PHP the most, and I very much mean PHP 5 when I say that, and have no idea what happened beyond that, and honestly the scars are so deep I don't care to find out.
- I don't think the risks are high with this. It's not writing for you. It's just correcting your grammar. If you're 99% writing it yourself and just having it highlight grammar mistakes I wouldn't expect it to trigger an alarm....... but I haven't been in school since waaay before LLMs were viable/common. So, maybe it's worse than I think.
- Gosh people love complicating things.
You don't need to fight with installing (the correct version of) java. I wouldn't in my life consider installing java on my OS directly.
For anyone with docker already installed (most people these days)...
git clone git@github.com:gardner/LocalLanguageTool.git cd LocalLanguageTool docker compose up - Did the website originally say this? I just checked and it says "an" now... Perhaps they didn't use their own tool when writing the web copy.
- This was even a major hurdle for Google Fiber. The incumbent ISPs did everything they could to obstruct them from installing fiber, and it was fairly effective even against someone with deep pockets like Google.
- I'm not a doctor or any kind of expert, but I think consistency is pretty much always the best. A lot of people get stuck in a weird mindset of "it's only a mile why bother" ... but even just going for a walk every day is infinitely better than doing nothing.
From my own experience, after 2020 threw me into a bit of a depression I gained a bunch of weight for the first time in my life. I decided I was going to "workout every day" but gave myself a ton of grace about what the definition of "workout" meant. If it was bed time and I hadn't done anything yet I'd just do a couple sets of pushups to "check the box" and go to sleep. I tried to do as much as I could every day, but still gave myself a pat on the back as long as I did ANYTHING that I could call a "workout" ... I lost the weight shockingly quickly and felt a lot better even though most days I was only working out for 10-20 minutes.
- Thanks for your suggestion, but at this time the NSA cannot allow this change.
- Yeah, the "why" the URL changed is a pretty messy story.
The original founders both wanted to start a new version of the original, and had a very public feud about ownership of the domain / name. I can't find any of it now so I'm assuming it was all removed as part of the settlement. Instead, they both posted this nearly identical statement.

- Very cool. It's like a much more minimal (and more open source) version of one of my favorite sites https://deepcut.live (formerly turntable.fm)
- At a company I used to work at I saw the CEO do this publicly (on slack) to the CTO who was an absolute expert on the topic at hand, and had spent 1000s of hours optimizing a specific system. Then, the CEO comes in and says I think this will fix our problems (link to ChatGPT convo). SOO insulting. That was the day I decided I should start looking for a new job.
- > ...society will die off.
*capitalist society will die off. ( )
See also: automation, ai, robots.... we probably don't need as many people / are headed for work shortages anyway.
- Did you stop using it? For me it seems like a huge improvement now.
I was really excited for the app update because the old app was really unstable. Then the update happened and it was like 10x worse than the old app. Then in the past few months it's gotten really solid (for me anyway) and I'm pretty happy with it.
- I find it amusing that the bug in the final screen is essentially the Y2K bug.
- Umm..... Enron??
- Same for me. I'm guessing the traffic caused by being posted here made them go over their API limit... or it's just bused. idk.
edit... looked at network console. The API is returning a 504 gateway error.
- There are still companies making new pinball machines today. The mechanical parts are pretty similar to what they've always been. Energize a copper coil, make a piece of metal move. However, the "brains" have come a long way and are basically just modern computers. Also, everything is far more modular. Old pinball machines were a rats nest of wires. Modern pinball machines just use standard computer cables / connectors.
- It's not a local AI model. It's using a groq.com API, but your point about people missing the point is still a good point.
- That's wild. I saw this when you(?) posted it a while back and assumed no one would want this. No offense, but it doesn't make the coffee taste any better...... unless it does............?
Anyway, glad you're seeing success.
- I pronounce this yeeroscopic
- Is it LeetCode? Is it AoC? No. Also, no.
How is this even so high on this site? It has basically zero content and the feels very much like an ad for something, but the site is so lacking I'm not even entirely sure what it's supposed to be. Not sure who would enter their email address on this site, but my advise would be, don't.
- Yeah, my understanding is that is how the light on MacBooks works, but I'm not sure about any other makes/models. Obviously, if this is possible that Thinkpad model doesn't do that.
- If I had a nickel for every time I've written exponential backoff with jitter I'd have like several nickels.
- I was first introduced to Objective-C in 2010 when I worked on my first iPhone app. I've come back to it a half dozen times over the past 15 years since then and always hate it. I only discovered swift a few years ago (when I had to do some iPhone stuff) and was so happy to not need to use Obj-C
