Re:Gemini 2.5 Pro reasons about task feasibility on Friday April 04, 2025 @03:36PM (#43586805)
You can also use the "fabric" CLI tool with its new "code_helper" functionality:

This is more rudimentary and works on the CLI, but I've had good results with it using both Gemini Pro and local models.

Re:Fixing Habits That Leach Productivity on Wednesday August 24, 2016 @07:33AM (#12351240)
Good stuff. One thing I find helps my productivity is to take time to exercise (run or lift weight on alternating days) in the middle of my workday. It's a nice break and tends to spark creativity.
I came to some of the same conclusions as the author of that article. I tend to use vi and am quite good at it when emacs is not available (mostly on remote Ubuntu or Debian servers) and emacs for my own programming or an IDE at work when that is recommended and it is purely a pragmatic decision not a dogmatic one.
I don't think you'll see these problems with the new Docker 1.12 for Mac (no docker toolbox), which brings the experience on the Mac much closer to what you see on Linux boxes.

Very interesting. This is basically a node.js way to access the core-os etcd distributed locking implementation.

I'm laughing at the name "Manbang". What do you want to do tonight? Let's Manbang and chill. :-)

Exactly. OSV is totally about being Open and free (as in both freedom and price).
Very interesting. Thanks.

Thanks. I use Ansible and Docker in combination to create reproducible DEV environments.
