- Learning to play an instrument feels like magic.
You fail the whole day.
Don't have the feeling anything sticks.
Then, the next day it works right from the start.
No new insights, nothing, it just works.
- It's the same with app, application, program, software, tool, etc.
- Half-OT:
Does anyone know a good open source S3 alternarive that's easily extendable with custom storage backends?
For example, AWS offers IA and Glacier in addition to the defaults.
- Maybe tape?
- How does this lead to confusion?
- Terraria and Stardew Valley show that it isn't just about graphics.
- Yeah.
I had the impression that onion services are exactly that: protection inside the P2P network.
- A week ago, I learned that animals weren't bigger in the past.
Sure, there were dinosaurs that were quite big, but they weren't living all at the same time. So there was maybe a big one, that died out, and the next big one would evolve much later.
As this project shows, the biggest animals and plants are living right now.
Also, we're living in the time with the biggest spiders in history. Somehow they don't get that big on average. Turns out, the high oxygen levels in the past didn't affect arachnid sizes as much as insect sizes.
- I had the impression, the creator of Nim isn't very fond of academic( solution)s.
- "tripping on their own feet" == "not rolling back"
- It did so extensive online search.
- Before it was a fast AI chat that would explain tech stuff and help me with issues.
I used it quite often, even instead of GH Copilot.
Now, it's much slower and has some kind of solution view that gets updated with every new message.
Found myself to resorting to GH Copilot chat quite often today, because Phind felt like a different/worse service.
- I consider myself a word rotator.
- Software engineering and technical writing consultant

- I tried it a few times, but smoking in general was very unpleasant, so I never started smoking anything.
- Yeah.
I worked with Grok 4.1 and it was awesome until it wasn't.
It told me to build something, just to tell me in the end that I could do it smaller and cheaper.
And that multiple times.
Best reply was the one that ended with something algong the lines of "I've built dozens of them!"
- Same.
I always felt like I'm 10 years behind.
- Maybe, we have to rethink depencies from the ground up.
Implementing everything yourself probably won't cut it.
Copying a dependency into your code base and maintaining it yourself probably won't yield much better results.
However, if a dependency would be part of the version control, depends could at least do a code review before installing an update.
That wouldn't help with new dependencies, that come in with issues right from.the start, but it could help preventing new malware from slipping in later.
A setup like that could benefit from a crowd-sourced review process, similar to Wikipedia.
I think, Nimble, the package manager of Nim, uses a decentralised registry approach based on Git repos. Something like that could be a good start.
- Sure, but what about 10 or 15 years?
It seems to be a thing with practicing motion sequences.
