I realize I am an extreme outlier, but I have not yet once used AI in my software development job.

This made me smile way more than it should. Thanks.

Absolutely. And while we're at it, let's do away with social media.

They did, but the rights expired. GKIDS now has the theatrical and home video rights to Studio Ghibli films in the US (except for Grave of the Fireflies).

I had written a comment addressing this as well but you beat me to it. In a way it is similar to the effect StackOverflow had on popular libraries, but amplified. Even without StackOverflow, a library can do well if it has good documentation. I'm not sure if the same holds true with LLMs.

While I do enjoy some popular genres, I'm all too aware of the massive industry behind it all. I believe that most of humanity's greatest works of art were created not for commercial interests but rather for the pure joy of creation, of human expression. This can be found in any genre if you look hard enough, but it's no accident that the music I find the most rewarding is classical music: Intellect, emotion, spirit, and narrative dreamed into existence by one person and then brought to life by other artists so we can share in its beauty.

I think music brings about a connection between the composers, lyricists, performers, and listeners. Music lets us participate in something uniquely human. Replacing any of the human participants with AI greatly diminishes or eliminates its value in my eyes.

I don't think I would ever sign a non-compete. If a business is afraid of competition, it should seek to differentiate itself so it can stand out from the crowd. Non-competes harm employees and prevent healthy competition.

This describes me as well. With the exception of J-pop/anime music, almost all the music I listen to is classical or soundtracks. I connect deeply with the instrumentation, melodies, harmonies, and rhythms far more than the lyrics, which is why I don't especially enjoy rap and am terrible at karaoke.

Go already supports an indirection layer, commonly known as vanity URLs. It works by making a request to a domain owned by the project and parsing a meta tag in the response that points to the actual repository location. Of course, the problem is that few projects bother to set this up.

That's a nifty option! In (neo)vim, I like to use the ZZ keybinding to quickly save if modified and then quit. If I want to abort the commit, I'll type ZQ to discard changes and quit.

Not all people who subscribe to the definition of marriage as put forth in the Defense of Marriage Act also believe that gay people are subhuman animals.

I keep Crunchyroll and Hidive for anime, but I've canceled all other streaming services. They just don't have any content I'm interested in anymore.

I agree, with a good modern dishwasher. My parents have a wonderful Bosch dishwasher that is quiet, efficient, and most importantly, can handle anything you throw at it. Conversely, the dishwasher at my apartment is junk; I have to rinse and scrub dishes before putting them in the dishwasher or they won't come out clean.

It's called Responsive Design Mode, and it's the third button from the the right on the top bar. Even better, use the shortcut Ctrl-Shift-M, which works even when devtools is closed.

Thanks for the excellent explanation!

I was specifically looking for this comment. Sites like these are a breath of fresh air in the world of bloated SPAs.

Cooking may be an art in one sense of the word, but it generally does not communicate a message. Neither does an off-the-shelf cake from a bakery. A custom wedding cake iced with a message, however, is protected speech.

If you're in the US, check out the Sunbeam F1[0]. It has good MMS support, emojis, and the best T9 I've used on a phone. The OS is a stripped-down version of Android with absolutely no social media apps or web access. It's a little spendy but worth every penny.

One of my favorite anime series! It is one of my top recommendations for newcomers to anime. I'm looking forward to the long-overdue Blu-ray release in North America by Anime Limited.

This is one of my major concerns with ChatGPT, and I'm not sure why it hasn't been discussed more. StackOverflow is a massively useful resource, to be sure, but it takes knowledge to wade through the outdated (or just plain bad) answers. StackOverflow can be a useful starting point, but I don't think I have ever copy/pasted code directly from StackOverflow. I don't think any LLM will be able to replace the skill of reading the docs and learning your tools.

I have no doubt that ChatGPT will become even better than StackOverflow at answering questions. Is this really going to make us better programmers?

I have considered attempting this Mahlerthon myself, but I really don't want to burn out on one of my favorite composers. If I'm feeling especially crazy, I could include Das Lied von der Erde and Symphony No. 10.

I initially thought the title referenced OS task managers a.k.a. system monitors.

This is great news! I'm looking forward to seeing where the community takes this wonderful little simulator.

So we basically need to go back to the days when Yahoo! was simply a directory of links to cool websites. Curated by humans.

Ya Boy Kongming looks fantastic and I absolutely plan on subscribing to HIDIVE later this year. I have a lot of Sentai Blu-rays and I hope they continue to license good shows.

I think this is a good move. Of course, the reasons for the deprecation are partly financial (and quite understandable), but the wish to avoid supporting non-free services is more political, and one that I happen to agree with. I don't know how well this change will be received by the affected users, however.
