This thread is calling out a legitimate problem, but things aren’t that bad.

Last year the market grew by 9%. This year it is projected to shrink by 11%. That’s huge, but not 80-90%.

Pycharm with Claude running in a separate terminal works well for me. I tried Antigravity a while ago, until a previous update broke my workflow.

My use-case focuses on finding and organizing information. I do have a bunch of python and bash scripts, but they’re all quite short.

I used fear/anxiety. Adderall works much better, and I have greatly reduced blood pressure.

Why does “piece of crap” have racist undertones?

Well, by comparison to the current administration. I would much rather have the shrub back.

That’s pretty much how I felt about it, but it’s nice to be able to shoot it more. I find that I’m much more accurate with the BG 2.0 than I was with the LCP. In part, I think that’s because I shoot it a lot more.

I never noticed a reliability problem with my lcp2. I don’t think I ever shot more than 50 rounds through it at one range session, but I did shoot a box through it on more than one session. I just wore gloves, which took a lot of the sting out of it.

I have fairly large hands, but I have found that hockey tape is a huge improvement for all of my micro pistols.

I’ll be interested to see how it compares to the Bodyguard 2.0. I have an LCP II that is painful to shoot more than a mag or two out of, and the comped BG 2 which is actually pleasant and accurate in my hands.

Came here to say this.

The plugins for Obsidian are much more useful. I think that Joplin is more like a simpler version of Obsidian. Both are solid choices, and both work well paired with a command-line LLM.

Same here, except I never got very deep in Notion, and tried Amplenote as well before settling on Obsidian.

I just block people who hurl unprovoked insults.

… Because

A sweeping win for New Mexico could energize Torrez and thousands of other plaintiffs currently pursuing cases against tech companies. Conversely, a limited order could be a significant blow. The outcome won’t directly impact other cases, but it will almost certainly color negotiations over potential settlements

The sandman, the brakeman, and me by Monsters of Folk

They’re a super group of Conor Oberst (Bright Eyes), M Ward, and Jim James (My Morning Jacket). They only did one album, but it’s brilliant.

Yes. I have one, and I love it. It’s a Periboard-535DL.

Bottles and Bones, Califone What Sara Said, Death Cab for Cutie Fake Plastic Trees, Radiohead

Those come to mind as great, “poetry with music” songs, but there are many more.

I initially chose not to weigh in because I find that people with differing opinions aren’t always well-tolerated on Lemmy. I think you have a good, nuanced take.

I also thought it was very helpful that a few people called out example comics of what they meant by “bigoted” . I was going to express some concern that even mildly self-deprecating humor would be banned if it applied to lgbtq people. Based on those examples, though, I have to agree with the consensus. Jago and Stonetoss are just stupid in addition to being poor taste.

Resistance is futile!

Unless you’re one of those 10%.

I wasn’t being disingenuous and I just validated my assumptions.

The cost of compute per million instructions has continued to decrease. The cost of storage on HDD has also continued to decrease, albeit more slowly. The cost of NAND storage has increased due to the supply crunch that Google helped create. Average pay at Google has gone up 5% over the past two years, but this is offset at least in part by mass layoffs. License fees for music have remained stagnant.

While a lot of those things are arguable one way or another, depending on whose numbers you look at and what specific details you want to focus on, one thing is not. Google’s profits have nearly doubled in the past 3 years. There is no reason for a price increase beyond corporate greed.

I I received the email today telling me that they were going to raise the price of my family plan by $4 per month. I’m guessing that their costs have not increased in any way, and probably have decreased. I assume it’s just another squeeze tactic from the company that used to not be evil.

This is a good answer. AI tools won’t make someone who has not yet developed programming skills into a good programmer. For someone who has a good grasp of implementation patterns and the toolkit for a given tech stack, they can speed things up by putting you into the role of a senior programmer reviewing code from multiple newbies.

I’m finding that for it to work well, you have to split things up into very small pieces. You also have to really own your AI automation prompts and scripts. You can’t just copy what some YouTuber did and expect it to work well in your environment.
