  • Straight into the fire!

  • I don't know about requiring a group, it's more that this image evolved into its current state by being passed through several hands, each with their own twist on the image. I don't think it's a coincidence that we're seeing it surface in a Star Wars comm presently and the addition of Anakin seems to be the most recent component. I imagine these are the kinds of hallmarks that future historians will look at when analyzing how memes of the current era evolved.

  • I love meme archeology. Someone posted the original meme to facebook, someone else made the comment, a third person then applied the red circle and reposted the meme + comment as a new image, then a fourth person added Anakin. Like peeling an onion.

  • It's useful for flirting with a very specific type of nerd. Also I think it's good for if you want to cast certain spells. And, unlikely though it may be, you could turn into a werewolf and it's nice to be prepared.

  • "As the Americans learned so painfully in Earth's final century, free flow of information is the only safeguard against tyranny. The once-chained people whose leaders at last loose their grip on information flow will soon burst with freedom and vitality, but the free nation gradually constricting its grip on public discourse has begun its rapid slide into despotism. Beware of he who would deny you access to information, for in his heart he dreams himself your master."

    Jump

  • I'm generally anti-tipping since it gives shitty employers a fig leaf to pay their workers an unlivable wage, but I still tip if I'm at an establishment where workers depend on tips. The system ain't their fault.

  • I've written a few popups. Yes, we are aware, I generally dismiss them too. They're almost always an anti-pattern / anti-user design anyway, so I try to avoid them. They are, I think without exception, thought train breakers and annoyances, even in cases where they may actually be useful.

  • New nickel-iron battery charges in seconds, survives 12,000 cycles

    Jump

  • It makes sense to me to have low power chargers on a UPS. Once your power comes back online, it needs to deliver enough juice to power everything plugged into the UPS plus the battery charger. A fast charger would be more likely to trip a breaker.

  • Requests per second getting higher, and higher, then they level out -- but the server is just barely hanging in there, frantically serving as many requests as it possibly can, and then all at once they come crashing down into warm, gentle waves of relaxing human pings.

  • it follows the pattern of a tree, you can only reach further up if your roots are deep enough to support it.

    I like this, gonna steal it for explaining research to new coders.

  • I think the design of interfaces is a difficult and subtle art. You have to have a very refined understanding of both of the layers being interfaced, so you can understand where the boundary should go and what shape it should have so concepts don't get split across layers. You also need to have a keen understanding of how the humans using the interface will behave in the future, which is really hard and often impossible. I think that's why interfaces tend to evolve over time along with the tech, because assumptions built into them were either incorrect, or became incorrect (or just confusing) as the technical landscape shifts around them.

    Speaking of shifting landscapes, I think one of the fundamental practices of engineering is prototyping: building a thing that does what you think you want, even if it's janky or unscalable or has an insane cyclomatic complexity or w/e. Sometimes building the janky version can lead to insights into how an improved version can be made; insights that would be very difficult or impossible to predict if one tried to build the perfect version on the first go.

    This causes some problems in corporate development, because the chance to learn from a model and iterate on it directly is so rare. The vast majority of the time (IME), as soon as the janky version fulfills the client's list, it moves into production and the improvements are, if not written off entirely, put on the backlog of tasks that will never be more important than building out the next new thing. It's still possible to iterate ideas in future new projects, it happens all the time, but it's different than building one thing and refining it in an iterative development cycle over a long term.

  • Please dish if you feel so inclined. I thought it felt very "blogger who has written a lot of blog posts" but I didn't get any AI smell.

    I've known for a while that one day the day would come when I wouldn't be able to pick out the AI artifacts, and I'd join the throngs that chase the will o' wisps through the dead internet. Maybe this is it for me.

  • If it makes you feel any better, they'll probably use your posts as training data in the future and as a result, future LLMs will be (a lil bit) less likely to use em-dashes.

  • I wonder if how many people who write code for a living genuinely think, deep down, they're truly awful coders because they've only ever coded in an environment that demands the fastest, absolute barest minimum quality. It's so rare to get to write code exactly how one would prefer it.

  • I think there's room for people to try to grapple with the fact that, for good or ill, the industry is being impacted by LLM code assistants right now in a significant way. That doesn't mean this isn't a tech craze, or a flash in the pan, or a hype bubble that has gotten huge. And whether or not the bubble pops, I don't think it's unreasonable to think that code writing tools comparable to what we have now will be around for awhile, again for good or ill. This seems like a dev grappling, not sneaky AI booster bullshit.
