Claude has a place for simple tasks. It does a great job of being an “advanced find in files” or being a “smart boilerplate generators” but anything remotely more complex and the issues start to show, really quickly. When writing new prototype code, it does very well. But when you have to handle all sorts of edge cases, it doesn’t do it as well. It also doesn’t do a good job with debugging anything more than surface level. Opus does slightly better, but even then gets into the frequent “I found the issue! oh wait, that’s fine. I found the issue! Oh wait, that’s fine” loop over and over again.

And before you ask: Yes, I’ve been using Copilot CLI for work pretty regularly for the past couple months.

Aside: It doesn’t help that the true token costs are off by a factor of 100-1000. Yes, I know general reporting is saying the breakeven is 10x, but…well, you’ll have to trust me that’s not accurate.

Nah, stay. Just have loud conversations amongst the audience ignoring anyone onstage/with a mic. Ignore anything that is said.

Make the speaker angry enough to leave.

“Wait, why is this not a CSV file?”

I never suggested they were stupid. Just that they may not know the details. So I explained it.

American Biscuits and Gravy is pretty much universally approved once they get past the appearance.

Tried it some relatives some time back. They were so confused/disgusted until they tried it. Wanted it every morning for their visit thereafter.

Every time I call them they mention missing it.

It just occurred to me that younger developers may not see the whole joke here…

For those unaware, a magnet would corrupt/destroy the contents on the floppy disk.

It’s not unlimited transfer like Backblaze. Also not as fast.

I’ve had a good experience with pCloud. One-time lifetime fee. Just set the Immich directory in its entirety as a backup folder.

3TB is a weird place to be with their pricing, though. You can buy 2 TB twice, iirc.

The human horn is a powerful aphrodisiac.

Matchmaking? TF2 moved away from community servers? Bleh.

One (contrived) example would be to have a drive that doesn’t have any installed file system filters on it. Filters being the hooks that windows, antivirus, etc have that intercept file writes and such. Could make it much faster on windows for that use-case. I can see custom software using that drive.

Contrived? Definitely. But potentially useful. I can see it working similarly to something MS has in testing which is the file system thing that is super fast but is limited in features—can’t seem to find it atm…

Looked at Sedgewick’s history.

His dissertation was… “Quicksort”

Holy hell.

Comma, single quote, double quote, escape last \ and all your cases are covered.

unfortunately, nearly all AV abides by the “cannot be larger than 68 bytes” rule

The ability to steal anywhere from 1-10 hours of sleep from someone I touch per 24 hours

You don’t know how to use an abacus? You must be an idiot.

Even if Germany succeeded at Stalingrad and captured the Caucasus, there was no way Germany would have been able to maintain it. The entire campaign was doomed for failure.

The oil fields were sabotaged well in advance and weren’t able to produce notable amount for a good 6-9mo after. Allies had plans to bomb the crap out of them as well. Russia moved the majority of their industry further inland prior to the German’s arrival.

Put simply: Germany didn’t have the population or production capacity to win. It just wasn’t feasible. Could they have won “politically”? I suppose, but that’s like asking if Allied leadership would have sued for peace, which based on the personalities is pretty damn unlikely.

Almost like I did it intentionally…

But seriously, try it out. It’s a great game. You can play free for about 6mo before hitting the free wall, but you’ll probably pay for PRO soon enough.

I like the devs because they don’t do auto-renewals.

ProsperousUniverse I presume?

I don’t think that’s quite the same. The companies that are “in” index funds change, so it’s more like investing in the top X companies at any given time. In theory, you’d only be investing in companies that are innovating and doing things.

Not saying you’re wrong about things assuming to always grow, just pointing out that it’s not quite the same thing.
