Any pronouns. 33.

Professional developer and amateur gardener located near Atlanta, GA in the USA.

I'm using a new phone keyboard, please forgive typos.

  • What's your favorite IDE right now?

  • Any reason for Code - OSS over VS Codium?

  • Static typed languages usually have better auto fill suggestions than dynamic ones. It's harder to make good auto fill with dynamic languages so.

  • Say it ain't so

  • Have I misunderstood the term vibe coder? I thought it meant people who weren't good at coding. I thought Stark's whole thing was that he's a genius. Is he notoriously bad at software but good with hardware or something?

  • Who was your celebrity crush when you were young?

    Jump

  • The earliest, specific crush on a celebrity I can remember was Lindsay Lohan in as early as 2003, but maybe 2005 or so. I was a middle schooler.

  • Relatable

  • It's a common meme. Not necessarily a common experience.

  • We did the math on AI’s energy footprint. Here’s the story you haven’t heard.

    Jump

  • Ypu know what I don't hear on lemmy? People complaining that crypto world consumes more energy than AI world and one of those is far more useless in grand scheme of things.

    I have both heard and said that crypto uses a lot of energy on Lemmy.

  • What's funny is that you've actually stumbled onto an entire problem that's studied quite heavily. I remembered a Numberphile video about this. The problem is called "envy-free cake splitting". It's pretty straightforward. A split is envy-free if no one believes someone else got more than them. For three people this was figured out in 1960 and you can read about it here. It has been solved for N participants as well and you can read about the general problem here.

    For two people, it's obvious. One splits and one chooses. The first person is incentivized to make it even because they don't know which they'll get.

    I was going to give a summary of the process for three people but it's too much to explain succinctly. Just check the article I posted lol.

  • I could see a small office where the printer is just directly attached to one person's computer.

  • Oh man I think about this a lot. I have some thoughts.

    1. The more complicated of a system, the less likely you are to use it.
    2. Complicated systems are self defeating.
    3. A system you use is always better than a perfect system you don't.

    I try to make notes about where my previous notes are when I make new ones so I don't lose them.

    I try to keep one or two physical ways to jot things down. I use a boogie board and a pocket journal. I use a disposable flimsy one. The temporary look of it helps me not treat it as some perfect log book that needs a perfect system. Avoid any and all "bullet journaling" tips lol. That's a road to complexity. My system is:

    1. If I need to remember something, I write it down.
    2. If I don't need to remember it anymore, I cross it out. If a page has nothing I need to remember and no real room for new still, I rip it out.

    For digital notes I use Google Keep on my phone and an Obsidian Workplace in a synced folder for Google Drive. I DO NOT stress about making perfectly organized Obsidian documents that link to each other. I just write what I need as I need it. My Obsidian stuff is a little more organized but I sort of haven't used it in a while.

    All forms of this is your way of communicating with your future self and how your future self will look for messages from you. Viewing it like this helps make it clear what sort of things you need to keep track of and also sort of sounds cool so it makes it exciting.

  • The Windows Subsystem for Linux is now open source.

  • I had a typo. I meant "apart from the one with Git"

  • MSYS2 is odd, I could never figure out how to set it up a sort from the one with Git. When I was more of a power user I used Cygwin. Babun is cool but unmaintained last I remember, and is just Cygwin with some enhancements.

    As much shit as MS gets (and rightfully so) around 2019 they began turning their reputation around for dev stuff. They've lost all that good will though.

  • We can already just round to the nearest quarter. Basically no machines take anything less than quarters.

  • My wife has this meme for when someone tries to shame her for me liking to play video games and build Legos/Gundam models.

  • Imagine getting persnickety over a typo/misheard word.

  • It's not about you, it's about the meme itself. The meme says she needs to drag her man out for dates but that he has golden retriever energy.

  • I think they're all the same.

    In Evil Genius 2, John Steele becomes that though.
