What is it that makes excel so exceptional?

I would be upset if my company spent $320m on a product that bombed, then fired me.

I'm glad this is getting a lot of push back. The FOSS community should be a welcoming collaborative space, but such an environment is not possible when bigotry is is tolerated.

The UK famously stole Venezuela's gold, so I wouldn't trust them much more...

I partially blame people with big audiences that keep hyping him up and platforming him. Primeagen interviewed him on YouTube and was worshipping him the entire video. Embarrassing display.

This is similar to my experience. I have never used agents, but I have worked on projects with people who have. They could create PRs in a few hours that would take me half a week to fix.

The agent would do things like create a new type definition in the same file as the function that used it. Except we already had a type definition in the types file so that it could be imported into different parts of the code.

I try to employ "DRY" practices where applicable because it improves the readability, maintainability and extensibility of the code. A random word generator will never be able to understand things like the structure and architecture of the project, nor the project requirements, so it is liable to always increase technical debt.

I watched half of the DHH interview in awe of the non stop glazing. Blocked his channel after that embarrassing display.

I disagree with this suggestion. They said they have a tight budget and want noise blocking headphones. Shokz are great (especially for audiobooks and podcasts) but they are expensive and specifically designed to not block sound. They sound muffled and weird if you use ear plugs.

Good advice. I splashed out on the kinesis advantage. A two week holiday and switching to the ergo keyboard cured my tennis elbow. It's very expensive and took a long time to get used to but I wouldn't go back.

I also installed Tridactyl Firefox extension for vim bindings. I don't use it often but it is handy when you are coding in vim and need to keep switching to a browser to read documentation.

Edit: The annoying thing about the kinesis is that it only comes in US layout. So when I use it as a UK device I have to do some funny business to get a backslash.

You have over 100gb of ram? What do you need so much ram for?

You can also buy computer monitors up to about 32" to use as a TV. Above 32" all the OLED displays seem to be curved or ultra wide.

Also projectors don't tend to have smart features.

It's an internet slang that means to excessively fawn over someone.

Very cool thanks for sharing. I don't have a CSV viewer app in “Open with…” context menu because I don't have a file manager....

Last time I had to deal with a large CSV file I think I just used some combination of sort, wc, cut and grep. Or I import it to python and use numpy

I am curious about your workflow, are you writing your blog posts in markdown, the using an online markdown to html converter, then copy pasting the output onto your website?

Also this is a good resource for learning some CSS: https://css-tricks.com/

They have some very helpful guides for things like flex boxes: https://css-tricks.com/...
