kayvansylvan··on Gemini 2.5 Pro reasons about task feasibility
You can also use the "fabric" CLI tool with its new "code_helper" functionality:

This is more rudimentary and works on the CLI, but I've had good results with it using both Gemini Pro and local models.

kayvansylvan··on Fixing Habits That Leach Productivity
Good stuff. One thing I find helps my productivity is to take time to exercise (run or lift weight on alternating days) in the middle of my workday. It's a nice break and tends to spark creativity.
kayvansylvan··on My pragmatic decision on GNU Emacs versus vim for my programming
I came to some of the same conclusions as the author of that article. I tend to use vi and am quite good at it when emacs is not available (mostly on remote Ubuntu or Debian servers) and emacs for my own programming or an IDE at work when that is recommended and it is purely a pragmatic decision not a dogmatic one.
kayvansylvan··on Setting Up Your Development Environment with Docker Compose
I don't think you'll see these problems with the new Docker 1.12 for Mac (no docker toolbox), which brings the experience on the Mac much closer to what you see on Linux boxes.
kayvansylvan··on Dead simple distributed locking for Node.js
Very interesting. This is basically a node.js way to access the core-os etcd distributed locking implementation.

This looks very interesting. The GIT repo is here: https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn

Ha ha ha ha ha. No you are not.

I'm laughing at the name "Manbang". What do you want to do tonight? Let's Manbang and chill. :-)
kayvansylvan··on Introducing OpenStreetView
Exactly. OSV is totally about being Open and free (as in both freedom and price).
kayvansylvan··on Language Translation with Deep Learning and the Magic of Sequences
Very interesting. Thanks.
kayvansylvan··on Reproducible developer environments
Thanks. I use Ansible and Docker in combination to create reproducible DEV environments.
