Just let me pay to not get ads and for all tiers keep them external to the LLM output

My favorite articles to write are on crafts like the below, I just got a Prusa CORE One kit (not put together yet) so next one will probably be something related to that.

The descriptions of the problems make it sound a little like algorithmic puzzles but your only tool is Excel instead of some programming language… Excel is pretty amazing in what you can do; I’ve regretted having to use Google Sheets for the last few years.

OpenSCAD is great! I used it to create a bunch of things to cut on a CNC router over the years. Best achievements were a scale model of Mount Rainier and some one-piece picture frames with text cut into them.

Recently I’ve had the best results with Gemini; with this I’ll have to go back to Codex for my next project. It takes time to get a feel for the capabilities of a model it’s sort of tedious having new ones come out so frequently.

C#'s runtime (dotnet runtime) adds overhead compared to Rust with GC and other stuff too. This is true even with single-binary AOT compilation, the runtime is still there (just like Go). So it will never be suitable for some scenarios.
You can definitely implement manual ownership tracking in C#, this is quite common for non-memory resources and does have some language syntactic sugar with the Dispose pattern for example. But you can't truly roll your own memory management/ownership unless you do something with "unsafe" which seems counter-productive in this case :P.

This isn't true at all anymore for years! Microsoft acknowledged Linux won for server-side and since C# is primarily used as a server-side language they made everything work incredibly well on Linux.

This one is an apt pick. I only worry it’s early and the true wave of slop is not yet upon us.

I can’t handle the swipe up to switch apps gesture with reduced motion it becomes too jarring. I set the glass to “tinted” and that’s about it. I wish they had a stronger disablement of just the glass.

This is great! I’m going to try the melting carnauba wax in tung oil one. I tried pure tung but it’s too matte for what I want.

I love unstyled UI components since you get complete visual control but accessibility still works and that's so easy to screw up and not notice it's broken.
I've used Tailwind headless UI (https://headlessui.com/) and it's great, I'll take a look at this one too for future stuff.

When a data tree is tightly coupled (like a complex sample of nested data with some arrays from a sensor) and the entire tree is treated like a single thing by writes, the JSON column just keeps things easier. Reads can be accelerated with indexes as demonstrated here.

This is the typical practice for most index types in SingleStore as well except with the Multi-Value Hash Index which is defined over a JSON or BSON path

Does anyone have it yet in ChatGPT? I'm still on 5.1 :(.
