> It is really hard to train people to not put up with chronic pain in their workflows!

It's learned helplessness. In some organisations when you ask for things like that you just get told system says no. If that happens enough, you stop wasting time asking. It's really not irrational either, it's just demotivating to get denied again and again for reasonable requests.

For me personally the use of vs was only during my studies. A comparison by me between the tools I've actually used extensively would be between emacs and code.

Someone mentioned the visual aspact of vs. That I've literally used once, at the very start of my bachelor. Vs is confusing, huge, and densely feature packed. I think I just never took the time to enjoy the features vs has.

This isn't weird when you consider my top choices: vs code and emacs both share the characteristic that they get out of the way when I'm doing my stuff. I usually want the bare bones, vim keybinds enabled workflow when I'm working, because it's fastest and it's what I know. I can use smart features like var renaming, autorefactoring etc. in all of these options, but in vs code and in emacs I feel less like they're butting in when I don't want them to, and when I'm changing settings or executing commands I'm not traversing a dense jungle of menus, settings and options like in vs.

In short for me the experience is easier and therefore more flow like.

LSP was literally developed for vs code. Using it as an example of what text editors use to approach ide's is in the context of that fact rather odd in my opinion.

I've developed in .NET, I've even worked with a large .NET monolith ( > 100 devs). Even in that circumstance while visual studio was installed by default, most devs used vs code. It's not just them young ones anymore.

They clarified below that this is what they meant for what it's worth.

I'm not sure what position you're ascribing to them, that we should have everyone killed by doctors at birth? I mean that could work if interpretated literally for the stated case, but who in their right mind would believe that?

No but that's their point: you can't do this cause life is tragic.

But supposing we were to live in a ideal world, we'd wish it to be so that every death that occurs happened by the wish of the deceased, in the best comfort that can be offered to them.

I cannot believe someone could honestly wade into the fraught topic of the political history of Israel with full confidence armed only with a transcript of a chatgpt chat and calling it "research". This has to be a troll attempt right?

If you're starting out on statistical rethinking, be sure to check out recoded [0]: a reimplementation of statistical rethinkings exercises using tidyverse, ggplot and brms instead of McElreath's own package. These tools are standard and well worth learning on their own, and they're also more documented than the package made by McElreath.

> Your approach is like buying a giant house, becoming a hoarder, and trying to throw a party.

exactly, excepting that the items they're hoarding are occasionally very useful for making their day to day activities go faster. And the hoarder has the superpower that in the blink of an eye they can discard everything that's hoarded to make room for the party.

Wait it isn't quite like a normal hoarder at all come to think of it!

Brave collected crypto donations on behalf of unsuspecting online creators and pocketed them. As far as I'm concerned that's as bad as fraud.

Thank you! I wasn't going to read the article for the same reason, but your recommendation changed my mind, and it was actually a good read.

It's definitely diminished by it's non qualified citation of Zimbardo, but there's some insight there regardless.

Ultimately the point Moxie is making is served by the stanford prison drama play just as well as if it had been an actual experiment.

Is there an alternative? I'm getting captcha loops on archive.is, and the DNS issue is frankly embarrassing. Is anyone else providing the same service?

I think it's perfectly possible to follow your comment 100% and still expect "payment" to happen. In what sense is it a problem for the "us" group if society is doomed because the "us" group gets the short end of the stick compared to the "elders" group? You seem to be calling the "us" group entitled, but that's a matter of perspective. The "elders" group can perfectly well be called entitled if they don't want to chip in for continued survival.

Sounds to me like "us" and "elders" should get round the table and figure out a way to make having children more palatable.

Interesting, I'm gonna check that out!

There's also the gitea fork https://forgejo.org/ to consider if the reasons for the fork (FAQ) speak to you.

Now I don't think this is a good idea, but since you specifically said as lightweight as possible I just wanted to mention it-

Running just git on an ssh accesible user is absolutely the most lightweight possible solution. You just need git and ssh, that's it. It's compatible with every normal git client, and does all the normal git stuff. This is how I manage my smaller personal projects (running on a raspberry pi), and it works fine for a single person.

There's no CI/CD. No Pull Requests, no web GUI, none of the niceties of any of the options mentioned here.

However if it's really very lightly used, and by technically inclined people, it may be an option.

e: I stand corrected, there is apparently a web UI!

If disabling transcoding ever becomes a thing in jellyfin I'd probably switch from plex immediately.

> powershell with its many unix-like aliases

This choice simply baffles me. If I could just use those aliases and have it under the hood be PS calls- that's great! But that's not what's happening, instead it's a totally different command with different a different syntax and different flags. Why make it an alias at all‽

Lambda is quite clunky. A lot is possible by abusing tuples and walrus assignment, which Ive on occasion used for one liners. e.g. you want to execute a function for each element of a list (print is a function in py3) so mapping over a generator with eg

    map(lambda x: (x := func1(x), func2(x), None)[2], gen())

This sets x to func1(x), then executes func2, then leaves None in place of the element in the map iterable. (of course you could do the same with a list comprehension, you wouldn't even need the lambda in that case, and good python would _actually_ be a for loop.)

And they will simply take your physical dollar and store it deeeep under the ground where no wild west thieves can steal it or even look at it, so that they can store it until tomorrow where it will be worth more!

In particular if that boilerplate code spans multiple projs and type inheritances for something that really could be done in about three lines. Boilerplate has its own obscurity problems.

> riddled with ## and other junk

I'd argue in favor of those. A competent text editor (let's say no older than 40 years old) can highlight and/or render that. When using base markdown, those things add structure to the document. I'd much rather see a markdown file with basics like headers and code sections (which are usually highlighted correctly) than a raw .txt file.

however I think your argument goes doubly hard when dealing with these more advanced html integrated readmes. The md file of the example readme is not well readable when opened in a text file to me- and there's actually very little content there! I prefer a more minimal approach where opening the .md file gives me the information I need, and opening it in a rendered environment gets me some niceties (perhaps you've got badges with coverage or versions nrs idk). But it should work in both.

Could you expand on that? You discovered vs code takes a lot of power when settings sync is turned on or something?

this is not a complete solution, but you seem to know what videos you're going to search through rather than wanting to search through everything. If that's the case, I recommend downloading the subtitles for every video via yt-dlp [1] as shown in this stackoverflow question [2] (it doesn't download the video itself this way to save bandwidth):

    yt-dlp --all-subs --skip-download https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ye8mB6VsUHw

(The answer uses youtube-dl, but I prefer yt-dlp, it works with these same options when I tried it)

When you've downloaded all subtitles, you can simply grep through them. I hope this helps!

I think the style could be preserved if the sourcing is done in the style you did here: an aside by the author separate from the main article.

It doesn't have to be paper style in the middle of the article, but it's good if it's present on the page (perhaps behind a button labeled "source disclosure" or similar)

I also think this increases the value I get from pieces like this, in more ways than whether or not my mind was changed. Sourcing might not influence mind changing in particular, but it'll help me if I want to dive deeper in the topic. Just yesterday I had trouble figuring out which paper was referred to by an economist piece by using google scholar queries- if there was a sources section, I'd have known instantly.

These are two different things though: vandalism for example isn't theft, yet no one argues it should be legal. This is just like the piracy debate all over again: It not being theft doesn't mean it is legal or ethical. These are different questions: it's possible to believe it is theft, but moral, or that it is not theft, but is immoral, and still be internally consistent.

Everyone is entitled to their personal preferences. You're attacking this guy for having a different preference than you, and you're filling in the blanks to make them seem hostile when they only expressed their personal preference. I dislike your rhetoric here as much as those of the forced return to the office crowd and for the exact same reason.

> Making that ocean deeper is not a trivial problem that we can just throw more compute or data at.

I'd say this is immediately counterindicated by the available evidence. Gpt2 was hopeless for anything other than some fun languagw games like a bot replica of a subreddit or trump. 3.5 is much much bigger, and has semi competent but limited reasoning abilities.

Gpt 4 is a vast improvement over 3.5 in various reasoning tasks. Yes, a priori I would have agreed with you that this has to stop somewhere, but not anymore. I would need to see some data of post gpt4 models to believe you.

VPN over TCP really is quite a bit slower than over UDP, which makes it quite undesirable for me. I think it's quite reasonable of them not to want to complicate the wg project by adding and maintaining the option of UDP over TCP. Remember, wg is supposed to be a minimal project. If you really need TCP traffic, you could always use openVPN.

With quic on the way, this problem will diminish with time anyway.

Hmm. If you can point me to drugs that keep me happy in a sustainable way, I'm all ears. Nothing else seems to do that, so if it's that easy I'm really missing out!
