New word for me, I love it.
Glad to hear I'm not alone, the latest releases of JetBrains have been so bad I finally cancelled my subscription. VSCode has been a nice surprise, "its giving old emacs" as the kids would say.

Ok you got me.

Are you taking any NAD+ supplements? I am as of a week ago, just curious if anyone else is.
This also lines up with something said in the book Lifespan about fasting reducing inflammation.

How long did it take for you to get a job? I'm currently looking again after a long sabbatical.
I think they are talking about the word embeddings, where context is embedded into high geometric dimensions (one dimension might capture how 'feminine' a word is, or how 'blue' it is).
Most of the market gains occur overnight, not during trading hours.

Where should I write posts at? All good advice thank you.

Yes I think you are right, it was funny to me but I see your point.

I haven't yet posted to Show I'll do that after I make those changes, thanks!

Isn't this huge news? Discrete energy levels for photons?

Re:What is the Fourth Dimension? (1884) on Friday April 05, 2024 @03:09PM (#39945930)
That's Lorentzian geometry and Minkowski space from the 1900's and created for Relativity.

This is Euclidian geometry, much older and more 'accepted'.

Re:SymPy: Symbolic Mathematics in Python on Wednesday February 28, 2024 @10:51AM (#39539548)
Same here, I've been slogging through with raw sympy this tool looks great.

How do I speed up the start time for it - any ideas? Recompile it with PyPy or similar?

Are these magic rocks for sale?

Re:Ask HN: Who else is working on nothing? on Saturday January 13, 2024 @04:55PM (#38984993)
Thank you both - I'm feeling the same, and I had tied up so much of my personality and life with software development, I feel pretty lost now. I've had a side project to work on for as long as I can remember, now I'm just not interested in building at all. And honestly, I don't know where to go from here.
Re:Software Engineers Say the Job Market Is Getting Much Worse on Wednesday January 10, 2024 @08:23PM (#38946170)
It does feel that way. Also feels unjust that the first to be replaced by AI is us (software engineers), that may be playing into it?

We had it good for so long. I really enjoyed it. Thanks for all the bugs.

It's so fast ... and accurate.
All of the small wind turbines I have seen have been mounted on a tower, which creates its own set of headaches.

But yes the tower is a must usually.

Re:DJI Virtual Flight (iOS) has been broken for five months on Saturday September 09, 2023 @02:39PM (#37448781)
I am just imagining this, or did it feel like 10-15 years ago breaking changes were a big deal, and companies went out of their way to provide an upgrade path. Now my flutter app from 3 months ago won't even compile.
Just started using it, it's amazing.
