Sick, I can stop using `pwd -P` based switching between /usr/bin/git and git.exe (and for some other stuff like ripgrep). Hell, I can probably stop using PowerShell completely.

>The world is essentially one life supported regime away from having a level of stability in the middle east that has quite literally never been achieved.

Agreed, but I wouldn't call Israel a regime.


Surely the modern equivalent to that is having public git repositories.

Perhaps, but has "I'm not doing your whiteboard challenge - check out my git repositories instead!" ever worked for you?!

Haha, for some reason when phrased like that I get a bad feeling about the outcome of the interview.

Apparently, a book is a bunch of text on pages.

Would you prefer if those people used a mouse and desktop environments?

I am not trying to diminish anyone and I do not have a preferences for how other people use computers. I was merely trying to explain why the CLI gets so much attention.

I think they mean you don't need to worry about a tiny app ecosystem these days because LLMs make it easy to create your own.

"SPH" stands for small penis humiliation in certain corners of the internet.


If you don't want an LLM to write the words, surely you also want to decide on the data and graphs to show by yourself? Isn't that 90% of a presentation? The "looking nice" part doesn't matter as much, it could be black text on a white background and it would be fine.

The important part is the presentation matching your presenting cadence, which is something LLM generated presentations never get right. I don't have a problem with people generating presentations, but most of the time they just end up reading whatever is on the screen when presenting.


Or just order some pizza to his address.


I agreed with these posts a couple years ago but for the past year there have been a lot of meaningful improvements in Firefox.


It has been my daily driver off and on again across the years since the Netscape code was open sourced and Mozilla as an organization was founded. It's a fantastic browser, but Chrome now owns the lionshare of the market as Firefox plays catch-up instead of leading like it did in the past. Memory isolation, etc never got the resourcing it needed to complete until it was apparently too late.

I see Firefox now as the new Opera, a technically good browser making dubious extensions that no one asked for until it dies a slow, spiraling death. My plea is simply to not go down that road any further...
