Still rooting for these guys

No single thing made me feel older faster than the fact that, when I was tween, the iPod was invented, took the world by storm and was the coolest device on the planet; and, before I was 30, it was discontinued.

Roughly translates to “stay out of it?”

Which alternative do you like?

All the people saying kids should go into trades instead of college have clearly never done much manual labor. You know what sucks? Working under a sink. I’m guessing it sucks even harder when you’re 60

I really think DDH may be onto something with Omarchy Quattro — just provide (reasonably) sane defaults and have LLMs built into a Linux distro. The user can describe the operating system he wants, and the clankers handle fiddling with configs

I did an internship in finance in college. Worked at a Bloomberg terminal that earned more money than me

It's a blog post, not a white paper

This is so accurate it hurts. I’ll be scouring the comments for guys who claim they can’t relate posting links to their magic CLAUDE.mds

Similar to OP’s new hobby of math and physics, I recently started scratching a long standing itch to teach myself electrical engineering. I’m using books, YouTube and my brain to learn, and it feels like such a breath of fresh air compared to what my day job as a SWE has become since AI took it over. Because I’m not trying to build anything in particular — and since the learning _is_ the goal — I don’t hear that nagging voice saying, “AI could do this so much faster,” that pops in my head when I write code by hand these days.

I can’t imagine any way NVIDIA could make this worth its money that doesn’t suck for everyone else

It is maddeningly impossible to get an ereader with all three of these features: b&w screen for maximum crispness; physical buttons for reliable page turns; modern processor for speed.

> standard C-p and C-n bindings don't work

I know it's little, but this was the first thing I noticed and it made me think, "Maybe this app isn't for me."

EDIT: FWIW, I just complained to pi and it added the keybinds for me in 10 seconds.

Your yard would look like shit if you mowed that optimal path. You want long straight lines

Like many others, I said I’d quit Reddit when they killed Apollo. I was skeptical that I’d actually follow through, but it didn’t end up being a sacrifice at all. The official app sucks so hard it isn’t fun to browse, and now that the mobile site forces you to download the app, I don’t even look at posts from search results much anymore.
