Because "A society grows great when old men plant trees in whose shade they shall never sit" - Greek proverb
If we don't cover the things that our children (or nieces/nephews) will benefit from, no one else will. There are no adults in the room. It's just us.
Presuming you're writing in Python: Check out https://docs.astral.sh/ruff/
It's an all-in-one tool that combines several older (pre-existing) tools. Very fast, very cool.
What if it's either that, or suicide? I imagine that people who make that choice don't have a lot of choice. Due to monetary, physical, or mental issues that they cannot make another choice.
That was clear from GPT-3, day 1.
I read a Reddit post about a woman who used GPT-3 to effectively replace her husband, who had passed on not too long before that. She used it as a way to grief, I suppose? She ended up noticing that she was getting too attach to it, and had to leave him behind a second time...
Andrej Karpathy (One of the founders of OpenAI, left OpenAI, worked for Tesla back in 2015-2017, worked for OpenAI a bit more, and is now working on his startup "Eureka Labs - we are building a new kind of school that is AI native") make a tweet defining the term:
There's a new kind of coding I call "vibe coding", where you fully give in to the vibes, embrace exponentials, and forget that the code even exists. It's possible because the LLMs (e.g. Cursor Composer w Sonnet) are getting too good. Also I just talk to Composer with SuperWhisper so I barely even touch the keyboard. I ask for the dumbest things like "decrease the padding on the sidebar by half" because I'm too lazy to find it. I "Accept All" always, I don't read the diffs anymore. When I get error messages I just copy paste them in with no comment, usually that fixes it. The code grows beyond my usual comprehension, I'd have to really read through it for a while. Sometimes the LLMs can't fix a bug so I just work around it or ask for random changes until it goes away. It's not too bad for throwaway weekend projects, but still quite amusing. I'm building a project or webapp, but it's not really coding - I just see stuff, say stuff, run stuff, and copy paste stuff, and it mostly works.
People ignore the "It's not too bad for throwaway weekend projects", and try to use this style of coding to create "production-grade" code... Lets just say it's not going well.

Why is it so expensive to federate Bluesky?
QWERTY
I tried Dvorak and Colemak, but I just couldn't get into them. My biggest issue is that my shortcuts change. It just broke my brain, and I hated it (even though I liked the idea of the other layouts).
(because Hasan is middle eastern and pro-palestine)
Must be his pro-Houthi stances. That also covers 'called him a “terrorist supporter”', since plenty of people see the Houthi as terrorists, with them overthrowing the government, even though they do claim to want a democracy (just not one governed by a corrupt president).
In no particular order (maybe)
- Ghost in the Shell (all seasons, even if they had different names)
- Dragonball Z (you either wanted to be Goku or Vegeta, simple as is)
- Claymore (short, and holy fuck did it go hard at times)
- Fullmetal Alchemist (even if it went off-trial, I still loved it!)
- Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood (a more-true to the manga release - also dope!)
- Samurai Champloo (they had Dutch-speaking characters! Also made me learn a bunch of Dutch history and how we used to trade with the Japanese since 1609 because of an Englishman called William Adams (Miura Anjin)!)
- Alfred J. Kwak (Kwak the Duck - あひるのクワック- my childhood favorite)
- Ox Tales/Boes (a childhood classic)
- Dommel/Wowser/Bigger and Better: Dommel & Ron (another childhood classic)
- Moomins (a Finnish classic!)
Remember when the $2.50 Oblivion horse armor DLC was considered to be ridiculous?
Blizzard now sells mounts at the price of 90 EUR, ~1.5x the base price of the game itself...
TBF, it's a useful mount, but 90 fucking Euros...
Regular mice with flywheel (G502, and an MX Master S3 (had an S2, but it broke after several years. S3 is a bit sturdier))
Logitech MX Ergo (the S is the exact same, but has USB C instead of Micro USB, which is a bit better, BUT BOTH DON'T HAVE A FLY WHEEL - WHY LOGITECH, WHY!?)
Trackpoint (the mouse nipple on some keyboards) is nice, but not on Linux BECAUSE IT'S WAYYY TOO FAST WHYYYYY?)
I've used it all, except vertical mice. I've seen it, and it doesn't entice.
