I am kind of worried about the internal belly fat, as it’s supposed to be really bad for your health. I already got rid of a fatty liver through a proper diet, now I am working on getting rid of belly fat (again). In my opinion one should always do weight exercises, as muscles are always good. But they don’t really help with getting rid of fat, which is ultimately what shapes your looks. Only managing your caloric intake can help with that.

I don’t give a damn about defined muscles. I work out to offset the work in front of a computer, mainly to prevent back pain. I actually have quite decent abs underneath the chubby dad bod I am rocking. The knowledge that the muscles are there is enough for me.

When the discussion started, I saw white and gold too. Then, at some point, I saw blue and black and since then I’ve never been able to see it as white and gold again.

Is he? He always gave me kind of icky/dickish vibes, so I wouldn’t be surprised at all.

Yeah, but change it how? Maybe it’ll run away with your partner.

Damn, that is some cheap gas.

I saw that my Jetbrains All Product Pack subscription also includes their AI assistant and in Go it’s really able to write and refactor things in a useful manner. But I think a large part is that I’ve been programming for 30 years and I am able to tell the thing exactly what I want and can mention things I do not want and also spot issues. Right now I don’t see how they can manage a complete codebase, which I understand vibe coding to be. There are just so many things than can (subtly) go wrong and AI at the moment is not able to help with that. But they also keep getting better, so who knows where we’ll be in a year or two.

Is that dollars per gallon?

Use them for what exactly? The only use case I could ever see is for screenshots.

I first tried vi in the early 90s, before I had easy access to online resources. I had to open a new shell and kill the vi process to exit it. Next time I dialed into my usual BBS I asked how to exit that thing. But since then I’ve liked it, because vi has been on every system I ever ssh’ed into.

I disagree. It looks leaner. But the code is still there and because it’s invisible, it requires you to remember more.

There’s also a programming language named after him: https://dangermouse.net/esoteric/piet.html

I never saw a benefit in using Lombok, but I did run into issues with it. As it works outside the compiler, you are basically writing Java+Lombok. And as the article says, with an IDE and a recent JDK there is really no benefit provided by Lombok.

I hear C++ was greatly inspired by the fifth circle of hell.

config.sys and autoexec.bat gang.

I passed the day that was farther away from my birthday than my birthday was to the start of WW2 years ago.

The Samsung shop hands out 1.4mb JSON responses for order tracking, with what I estimate 99% redundant information that is repeated many times in different parts of the structure.

I crawled multiple defunct story sites years back and now I’m finally building an index and UI for them.

90m, that is deep.
