- vharish parentJust curious. Do you offer Visa sponsorship?
- Living rooms are not that big to start with. I don't think you actually asked anyone's opinion on this! :D
Small TVs are not comfortable to watch. No one I know is okay with getting a smaller TV and moving their sofa closer. That sounds ridiculous. If there's any comfort to this capatilistic economy, it is the availability of technology at throw away prices. Most people would rather spend on a TV than save the money.
As for the theatre being obsolete, I do agree with you, atleast to some extent. I think everyone is right here. All factors combined is what makes going to the theatre not worth the effort for most of the movies. It's just another nice thing, not what it used to be.
Also, the generational difference too. I think teen and adolescents have a lot of ways to entertain themselves. The craze for movies isn't the same as it used to be. And we grew old(er). With age, I've grown to be very picky with movies.
- From my personal experience using the CLI agentic coding tools, I think gemini-cli is fairly on par with the rest in terms of the planning/code that is generated. However, when I recently tried qwen-code, it gave me a better sense of reasoning and structure that geimini. Claude definitely has it's own advantages but is expensive(at least for some if not for all).
My point is, although the model itself may have performed in benchmarks, I feel like there are other tools that are doing better just by adapting better training/tooling. Gemini cli, in particular, is not so great looking up for latest info on web. Qwen seemed to be trained better around looking up for information (or to reason when/how to), in comparision. Even the step-wise break down of work felt different and a bit smoother.
I do, however, use gemini cli for the most part just because it has a generous free quota with very few downsides comparted to others. They must be getting loads of training data :D.
- There are many more use cases that aren't fully realised yet. With regards to coding, LLMs have shortcomings. However, there's a lot of work that can be automated. Any work that requires interaction with a computer can eventually be automated to some extent. To what extent is something only time can tell.
- I'm guessing that would ideally mean only reading the content the user would otherwise have gone through. I wonder if that's the case and if it's guaranteed.
Maybe some new standards and maybe a user configurable per site permissions may make it better?
I'm curious to see how this will turn out to be.
- Wouldn't changing the matress help? Also, if you using a pillow, consider keep them under the sun every few days. You can even keep the matress under the sun, maybe on the terrace if you have access to it. Pillows can also be washed as well.
Telling you from my own experience. It could work for you if you haven't tried already.
- This is a very broad generalization and not a good one either. Particularly in this context. It's obviously not possible to do it for all video formats in a consistent way. I haven't read through all of it yet I could tell all the proposed solutions are hacky ones. Your scenario doesn't apply here. Businesses are different. This is on open source project. Anyone can work on it.
What are you even saying about the choas of the world?! Every dev knows how work is. You are just describing every other software job. Somehow it sounds like you are boasting how matured you are just because you do what your client asks/needs. Even then, many business/software make a concious choice to support or not support something based on some guidance. The guidance could be some core principles or just some product managers whim.
It's highly likely that VLC developers chose not to support the feature for the very reason(s) that's described in the post. It's a concious choice they made. I don't see anything wrong in that. They definitely are not some school kids with some daddy issues to hide behind some code. They clearly have answered all the questions from a technical stand point.
- If you are using vim, you should definitely try using cvim or similar for chrome. You’ll most probably stop using mouse when in browser.
If it’s about tools, I would suggest trying out i3 and emacs. I’ve used vim+tmux for a couple of years. Slowly I’ve migrated to Emacs. Somehow, I like it a little more than vim. I still heavily use tmux.
For tmux, having a startup script with pre configured windows and panes can be helpful as well.
Having a dual monitor setup can also be very productive.
I personally try to avoid using mouse. Most of my hacks are targeted to achieve this.
