I’m tempted to think that a new pandemic would be a breath of fresh air.

This nobody does!

Don’t get my hopes up, especially if what they eventually release is in Duke Nukem Forever quality.

1990-2013 I saw Russia as friendly’ish even when they fought in Chechnya etc.

2014-2021 wtf. maybe they are not so good? what’s next?

2022- Russia is definitely the enemy

I used to Slackware that time when RedHat’s package system constantly broke, and no internet so I couldn’t use Debian.

Good times.

At this rate there will only be two media companies in America next year, and then one the year after.

And Stör!

It’s the Horadic Dodecahedron

Yes, just look at RNC conventions isn’t that like 50% boomers?

I would go for the evergreen: Never Gonna Give You Up!

I definitely got weirded out asking a GPT3 model about something and it got clingy.

Now I see it more like a search engine, skim the wall of text to find the useful information. Today I gave it a lot of context and explained what I had done and the error I got and it more or less told me you did everything correctly, and suggested stuff I already tried. It’s way of saying “I don’t know”.

Can’t wait for vibe coded programs to use timeoutSort.

How do you pronounce m@bian?

My YouTube feed seems okay, recently they started promoting new crap but pressing “don’t recommend channel” and “not interested” silenced it.

If I watch something from a channel I don’t want to get recommended I remove it from my watch history and I never press “like” on videos.

It’s good to see all the comments with ways to manage your YouTube feed, good to know if I end up in the same situation with a poisoned algorithm.

Neovim is on the path of enlightenment to become Emacs so everything is alright.

Are we talking about the same Russia?

It sounds like OP is talking about Russia the mythical superpower.

While the Belgian minister talks about Russia that’s getting whipped while trying to hold the lines in Ukraine.

They got used to roached coffee, and not even Kopi Luwak can scratch that itch.

Something new to try for Thanksgiving:

Recently I roo-coded a node.js MVP without knowing too much about Node, but something about JS/CSS/HTML although it’s years ago I last used it.

I got something working decently by:

• Make a project plan and use cases
• Take (very) small steps
• Commit often
• Throw away bad attempts
• Make test cases
• Hand edit from time to time, especially CSS stuff.

Would I have been able to fling something together by reading some node.js guides and using stack overflow yes, would it have taken around the same time yes, but without test cases and documentation. Do I think vibe coding is the best thing since sliced bread no!

I was thinking: Something good finally came of DDR and Stasi.
