(╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻ still one of my favorites (or rather #unicode_art right?)

I’m at the point where I understand half of what the AI tries to explain to me, but anyway, the feeds pages should load 10 times faster now.

I'd been listening to di.fm for years, and have been missing a MacOS app. Thanks, Antigravity, for making the world of personalized software really easy: fifteen minutes and two small bugs later, github.com/haykinson/difmplayer gives me a Spotify-style player. Yay!

replied to:

Dang, DI is nice! pretty sure I stumbled upon it before but it slipped out of my attention. Re: your project, it'd be nice to add a screenshot (or even link to a small demo video). As an aside I thought of tiny player as a good interface for DI. www.catnapgames.com/tiny-player-for-mac/

everytime i see projects like this, i think that a rss implementation it wolud be so cool. Although iknow that there is not that much rss lover out there haha

replied to:

we have rss/atom feeds for everything! they should be auto-discoverable but you can also find them here

Someone can create enormous value while their manager controls the narrative around that value. Conversely, a manager can conceal structural problems because the people capable of exposing them depend on that same manager for evaluation and promotion

most akkor mit kezdjek ezzel a Windows 10, Windows 11, Ubuntu Linux 3-as operációs rendszerrel egy két felé particinált winchesteren, jobb lesz ha előbb megvárom, ameddig törli magát a Windows 10, nem azt mondták, hogy lassítani kell az MI projekteket, annyira tetű módon csinálom

Now what should I do with this Windows 10, Windows 11, Ubuntu Linux 3 operating system on a hard drive partitioned in two? It would be better if I wait until Windows 10 deletes itself first. They didn't say that AI projects should be slowed down, I'm doing it in such a lousy way.

I am trying to learn emacs for the fun of it. The tutorial is brilliant and clear. Any tips that would help me learning more things. I know all I need is practice but if you may have used it, you may know a thing or two.

NIH syndrome? I am guilty of it too. I love implementing things from scratch, you learn a lot by doing so and you get to own the codebase end-to-end, so no surprises and fighting around others’ choices. It can get exhausting too though, in the end I succumb to using off-the-shelf components because my primary goals move at a higher level.

replied to:

I don't see much point in trying to build software at a "higher level", like whole products and services. I'm going to go down low and train myself on the fundamentals. Hopefully in time I'll be able to contribute to the foundational bits. You're right, it does get exhausting. At some point you just want to rebuild everything, which is not possible.

I'm going to go down low and train myself on the fundamentals. When I wrote an HTTP sever (albeit HTTP/1.1), I learned how primitive the HTTP protocol its magic became a skill. It is freeing understanding how things work and allows me to choose where to spend time with more intention.
