Where is the guy duck taped to the ceiling?

Nice! Reminds me of the time I was working on a browser extension to do this.


My bluetooth headphones occasionally drop the connection for a moment when I'm standing to my microwave which is warming up food. 2.4GHz after all. Bluetooth and USB 3 don't play along that well either btw.


Plenty of developers paste arbitrary bash commands posted on sites like GitHub without thinking because they look "legit", I suppose. I see it similarly as you do: StackOverflow (and Copilot) can be helpful to start but it's.

Had an exchange like this some time ago:

Me: Hey, I'm reviewing your PR. Looks pretty fine to me. Except for this function which looks like it was copy-pasted from SO: I literally found the same function in an answer on SO (it was written in pure JS while we were using TS in our project).

Dev: Yes, everyone copies from SO.

Me: Well, in that case I hope you always copy the right thing. Because this code might run but it is not good enough (e.g. the variable names are inexpressive, it creates DOM elements without removing them after they are not needed anymore).


Curious to know what advantages Insomnia has/had over Postman beyond being MIT licensed.

Postman's initial startup time could be a bit faster but other than this I'm not missing much (yet). I used it for years occasionally before finally creating an account not so long to sync my requests across devices.

BTW: Jetbrains IDEs like WebStorm also have an integrated HTTP client.


Absence of all this bullshit about accounts, clouds and telemetry like in postman. It was just a tool to send requests I wanted when I wanted


Ignoring everything else, postman UX is worse than anything I've ever used


I see you haven't used Nero Burning ROM.


Skeuomorphism had it time. I actually loved those apps back in those days.


Postman and Insomnia have almost identical UIs


Yet I can find anything under a second in Insomnia and keep fumbling around on Postman for minutes.


Oh no, I actually liked Google Podcasts for its simplicity. First Google Music, now Podcasts - hope they don't kill this Play Store thingy next /s


Curious to know why this is the case? I haven't played around with LLAMA yet but I figured it being open-source would make it more trustworthy than models provided by OpenAI.


> it being open-source

Absolutely not. The LLAMA license [1] is clear that it's not open source. It's for non-commercial, research only, and only by explicit permission from Meta. The weights were leaked, on 4chan [2], illegally, according to the license. Very very few people are using it legally. This interpretation is clear from its wording, and also matches the interpretation of our flock of lawyers.

Llama 2 doesn't use that license and llama.cpp isn't limited to using those models anyway.


True. That gives these companies a little less than two months to start contributing, with the easier license restrictions in mind.

But, Llama 2 is not open source [1].

You're correct, I confused it with LLAMA being more business-friendly (at least in theory) than some other models out there.


I wonder what legal teams (such as y'alls legal dept) think of the new license.


Unfortunate - I didn't know till today. I had been wondering why I hadn't receive an update for September yet.


CalyxOS has decent Pixel 4a support, in my experience. I bought my 4a last December specifically because it was supported (and the right price on Ebay). Install was pretty straightforward, and they don't have as stringent a support cycle as GrapheneOS, although I did not try installing that one.


So far I've used Medium.com but I rarely find the time to blog these days. I was considering dev.to as you can rather easily convert a Medium blog post to Markdown which dev supports.


Nice post. In the past I've had colleagues (also senior people) who disliked touching "legacy" parts (e.g. Java based microservices compared to newer Express.js or Kotlin based microservices which don't provide half the value that the legacy parts do). I also think that maintenance programming can be rewarding. However, I do believe that it does not make sense to throw entry-level engineers into the maintenance mess alone: they still need some guidance in my experience. Then you'll be able to reap the benefits such as getting better in debugging and understanding more about the business problems that the software is solving.
