Caveman

Yeah, if you’re writing up papers LaTeX is excellent. I’ve done some LaTeX myself but I’m very happy not having to write any papers today.

First person I’ve heard from that loves LaTeX

KDE.

It’s the only one I have used more than 10 years and loved the entire time. Everything else has been replaced, not loved or not used for 10 years.

How about just paying out the tax money directly to people instead?

Avoid honorifics with “there” (e.g. hello, sir - > hello there) or drop. Otherwise use boss, friend, chief or captain depending on vibes.

I have a child monitor that only charges if I blow in it before plugging it. It’s legit

We’re using LLMs at the company I work at and it seems very useful in many cases but sometimes it still doesn’t work. I’m a bit worried about the aspect of the code rotting by LLMs generating stuff based on existing code.

My mindset has shifted a bit, now I’m more focused on making stuff easy to find and easy to figure out patterns to use so that the codebase becomes easier to work with. There’s some horrible code in the project and the LLM absolutely sucks balls at it but if it’s a clean routine job such as making a table with update dialogs and actions to manipulate the data the success rate is >95%.

So yeah, don’t trust it, treat it like a junior dev that got straight As in school and has never considered security. Code reviews are now where it’s at.

I see, I was under the impression that you didn’t use it for work as in walking/biking/public transport instead.

The tram should just ram it and bill the owner for damages.

It’s a car eat car world

I mean it’s not crazy IMO, running cost is probably 500 but depreciation is a major factor. A rule of thumb is around 10-15% of the value of the car each year so if you can sell yours now for 35000 depreciation is in the range of 300-400 a month. Older cars have a lower depreciation but higher maintenance. Then also not applicable in your case is financing cost which varies a lot.

In your case I’d look at how much just paying for a taxi for Costco and full day rental for day trips would cost compared to owning a car.

Besides what other people said, manjaro breaks regularly.

I work remotely from a different country so I don’t really have a choice but I’d show up to work 1-2 times per week because they offer free food and see the people I’ve been working with the past 4 years.

That being said, I love the fact I don’t have to commute, chats and calls always have a main agenda but we also chat about games, movies etc. occasionally. I can work uninterrupted most of the day

Yeah, cooking rice without a rice cooker makes the cooking a lot more intense IMO. I really like the “set and forget” aspect of rice cookers so I can spend more time on chopping and cooking on a pan.

My tip is rice for calories, veggies for nutrition, dry beans/chicken for protein. Frozen veggies can get very cheap.

Potatoes are also super good and allow for a lot of variety. To make something tasty like mashed it does require butter and milk.

Side tip for rice, rice cookers are pretty cheap and save you plenty of time. You just toss in rice, water and salt in the correct quantities and good rice comes out. You can also make whole meals with it by putting some oil and frozen veggies.

For taste spices are key and big quantities of spice don’t cost much per dish. It takes some experimenting but once you get a hang of it it becomes very nice and easy. Garlic/onion powder, cayenna pepper, salt and pepper improve almost every dish.

One caveat is that seed oils are just not healthy so if the budget allows for olive oil, butter or coconut it’s better.

Signage is nowhere near as important as street design. The design should say 20mph by having cobblestone, narrow curving streets and tight corners.

Also, they always play until checkmate. If there are two geniuses playing chess one of them would resign at least 3 moves before reaching checkmate.

I think this is it. Posting is reinforced by getting feedback on posts, both up votes and comments

I mean, it’s kinda true. A rocket just makes fire which expands and pushes whatever it burns out to make it go fast. You got the fire, the fire pushes things away from whatever you’re burning and the rest is just optimisation.

If you manage to make a helium balloon that floats in the air, attach a burning log fire to the bottom of it and enclose it in a way that the air intake is on the top and outlet is on the bottom you’ve made an engine that you just need to aim with a ballast weight.

Still wrong, but you were onto something.
