You may be fewer irritated by this with age

Misusing words like “setup” vs “set up”, or “login” vs “log in”. “Anytime” vs “any time” also steams my clams.

This is a good reason to use Dvorak

Playing devil’s advocate, I’d be worried you’d avoid doing work you don’t want to do, but is core work that needs to be done. Not all employers want or are set up to employ wildcards. You may have to make your own path here, too.

Kagi’s verbatim search does this. You will actually get no results if nothing matches. It doesn’t change your search and give you something you didn’t ask for.

Quoting in a normal “All results” search works, too.

The exchange rate is pretty good right now.

Did you just assume my ¥der?

I’ve been on Fastmail for 10 years. It’s a great service.

Contrary to some misconceptions, these SIMD capabilities did not amount to the processor being “128-bit”, as neither the memory addresses nor the integers themselves were 128-bit, only the shared SIMD/integer registers. For comparison, 128-bit wide registers and SIMD instructions had been present in the 32-bit x86 architecture since 1999, with the introduction of SSE. However the internal data paths were 128bit wide, and its processors were capable of operating on 4x32bit quantities in parallel in single registers.

Like the train kind of engineering?

I like black because it accentuates the goofy faces cats make sometimes. I also just like the way they look in general.

Practically, it’s easy to see when there’s something in their fur and when it needs brushing.

As a bonus, they’re easy to adopt. Every shelter seems to have a bunch.

GPT-4 writes better code than the junior developers on my team. I wish they would use it as a rubber duck, at the least.

It often requires iteration and asking for certain things (logging, error handling, simplification/maintainability, etc.) but it gets there. I think it would eventually be possible to get AI at a place where it thinks about these things automatically instead of requiring prodding.

Still doesn’t replace people, but makes them more effective.

If you’re a developer, read the source code. People will tell you how they remember things working, or how they think they should work. The code is what it is.

He can’t help it. It keeps popping up outside of his control.

Make a GDPR data request to reddit. You’ll get all your comments and posts and a ton of other stuff in CSV format.

Then the hand-wavy part: use the Lemmy API and write a utility to post things.

But definitely get your data.

Tildes is a non-starter because I’m not cool enough to know anyone to provide an invite.

Sync (for the platform which shall not be named) had the ability to filter posts by keyword. I will take advantage of that feature when Sync for Lemmy is available.
