Re:What agents mean for Rust (and vice versa) on Wednesday October 14, 2026 @06:04AM (#50085072)
What makes languages like Haskell good is exactly benefits you acquire due to learning various abstractions which allow you to write better code. For example I like for an LLM to write code in Haskell using higher order algebraic effects, it's really great for readability but you still need to have some notion of what they are to use them. LLM won't program using them just by itself it needs to be deliberate instruction.
Or you can do simple calisthenics. Especially if you are beginner, save yourself time and money and do exercises like push ups and squats at home. When you progress on that go to outside gym which is also free and never crowded from my experience.
Re:Fairphone 6 and PostmarketOS working main camera on Tuesday August 18, 2026 @07:58AM (#49344383)
I was recently working on porting PMOS to Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro, though switched to NixOS due to much faster update cycle. I got much further than I thought I would (though this was mostly possible due to LLMs without them it would waaaay longer), fixed everything including cameras except mic working in calls. Still bummered about that because I really wanted to try daily driving linux phone but alas not lucky.

I wish alternatives like Fairphone or other linux phones step up a game. They have too high a price and too low specs.

Don't worry they are hopeless on everything else too.
It's amazing more people don't recognize this and judging from some posts in this thread as a solution they will support oligarch backed alt-right like that will fix the problem.
Liberals are not leftists ffs. S&D are liberals, if you go to the wiki page you can see that they are labeled centre-left. Centre-left in this case stands for left wing of liberalism.

This is an example of party which can be called leftist. It's actually even listed as that on wiki. Minimal condition in general is to be anti-capitalistic.

Just wondering how old you are? 60? 70?

Our world in data is neoliberal think tank supported by billionares. They got bad reputation of misrepresenting data to favor capitalism as inherently progressive.
