I once tried to get some pills at CVS. I was charged something like $500, and asked for my insurance information. When I told them I had no insurance, they told me to go talk to a person a few meters away so that he can help me... I got the pills for $30.

Do you usually dig up your garden by hand with a shovel, or do you use a rototiller?

I'm always mind-blown when I read stuff like "speed is overkill". Speechless!

The other day, I told claude that my physical wifi door unlock push buttons is a security risk because someone could run away with it and then unlock the door from outside whenever he wants. Then I told it that I want to introduce a concept of public/private key to uniquely identify my push buttons so that I can disable them individually using some crypto like ed25519...

Fable understood it as something along the lines of:

"introducing" "security risk" "using software" to "unlock door" YOU ARE FLAGGED

I was actually thinking of making a similar app for hacker news comments. Should we all quit hacker news too?

reminds me of an project I made many years ago to manage dependencies in between repositories. So if project A was waiting for a fix in project B to be in production, you could draw a line between the two commits (from project A to project B) and get notified when the commit in project B gets into the "production" branch. And then merge and deploy your feature branch from project A.

@tinfoilhatter if that's the example of an `hostile and abrasive member of the Nim community` looks to me like the nim community is doing just fine.

> ...and views he expressed to me regarding climate change...

Is that for real? I bet I can find some chocolate chip cookie recipe that the Go team would disagree with me. I ain't ever using Go again.

> Even after reading the article, it's not clear why that particular expression is so egregiously poor.

I'm glad I'm not the only one wondering why this is not instant to type check.

Seems like it got fixed just now. Thanks for doing it. It looks much better now :)

I'm well aware of it. But I don't think I have ever seen an editor/website which would display it as 9 spaces. Github for example default to 4 spaces width.

I like how he kept "tabs" (and display it as 9 spaces) to make it as ugly as possible for the bad example, then proceed to use 4 spaces for the other examples.

61 dependencies, no codegen. Nothing special really.
