I’m going to guess they’re companies without software expertise in house, so nobody to review the code anyway.

If companies continue hiring people like this, it’s only a matter of time before the exploits roll out.

Wow! I still have my Dragon Dice in a box somewhere. A few of my friends had it and we played about 4 games before we got bored. Still something nostalgic about it for me though.

I also agree about Tsuro. Great fun!

I tried this one and Wezterm, but I just couldn’t get past how much vram they use, when vram is still at a premium. Konsole works really well for me anyway, so I guess I don’t see the appeal.

Though, I do like Wezterm’s lua config.

Its because of all the people saying that LLMs can reason and think and the human brain works just like an LLM and… some other ridiculous claim.

This shows some limitations on LLMs.

And he’ll just come back as a BT to ominously hover over the team.

“uh oh!”

Exactly this. My whole life I’ve been told that executives deserve their massive compensation because of all the high risk decisions they make. But if they ever get called out they take no responsibility. It’s infuriating!

You must be looking for /c/playrust

Nothing says punk like the haircut on the poster at the barber shop in the mall.

Magit is incredible! It’s a thin layer over git commands but with a nice discoverable UI. Even if I’m using a different tool to write the code I’ll still use Magit for the repo.

Then some jerk runs rustfmt and ruins all your hard work!

What do you use instead?

They just keep innovating! Amazing!!!

Because the mouse is useless with only one button so you have to use the keyboard.

This is why its important for us to retain the right to what Cory Doctorow calls “self-help”.

Our right to access and modify things are being stripped away and that gives the platforms even more power!

Today, if you released a tool to bring your Facebook friend list to another platform you’d get sued into oblivion.

I think ignorance (in the non pejorative sense) plays a big part. I can’t really blame my non technical friends for not fully understanding that ditching Facebook for Instagram doesn’t help. Even if they know it’s the same company, it’s still a totally different product, right? There’s also a certain apathy or need to just get something done.

I’m sure I’ve purchased things at Home Depot that would make a plumber cringe, but I know nothing about that sort of thing and I just need to get my sink working.

Still, I think those of us who do know should continue to lead by example. My friends know my stance on these things and some of them are coming around.

Anyone know how good Hori’s d-pad is?

Same.

I use Bortmatic to manage my repos and I pay a little bit to BorgBase for offsite backup of my important stuff.

That video!! Yeah, I don’t believe it either. Sort of reminds me of doing Kung Fu as a kid. We’d do public demonstrations and would sometimes ham it up a bit for the audience. I wonder if that’s what’s going on.

Have you practiced push hands? There’s a neat effect I can only describe as sort of being able to bounce off the other person. You can get some decent air with it! I also wonder if there’s a bit of that going on with a lot of exaggeration.

I agree with you about the “weird stuff”. I teach Tai Chi and I’m very careful about the words I use, especially when it comes to describing mechanical forces. I’ll often mention that I don’t mean some notion of “life force” but rather the physical Newtonian force that your body is subject to while performing the movements.

I find Tai Chi to be deceptively complicated with deep physical and psychological components. I have a hard time articulating what it is to others since it’s not really a martial art, and it’s not really meditation, and it’s not just a bunch of movements or calisthenics. But it does have very real effects and I love it!

It sounds like your experience is quite similar to mine and I’m happy you found a good teacher and are enjoying the practice! 😀
