Yeah, it's not an accurate indicator since various factors play into how many stars Neovim has, e.g. Vim is prebuilt into most OS distros, so lack of a need to download it, Neovim is more contributor friendly, etc. I highlighted this not to show the insignificance of Vim, but rather the rise of Neovim.
Love it! Looks very promising.
If you deploy / admin linux on production side it just seems to be a lot easier to also basically develop in a linux like environment.

With WSL2 you can go from - I wonder if this would work, do a quick no git checkin no vm no docker quick script, then looks good, let's drop this into git, get a dockerfile going, test on docker then test deploy or start going to production.

And it's all pretty fictionless and you can use your Windows machine still for whatever other desktop stuff you have (which many find easier than getting a linux desktop going especially if you need to interop with a word / excel / microsoft business).

I think Microsoft is finally paying a bit of attention to what developers are looking for. The vagrant / docker on windows solutions were in part providing for this need (windows desktop / linux development). This is also what made MacOS so great (unix/bsd under the hood with a nice gui). Why not bake it in? Linux is open source - you don't even have to license it from someone.
> The local version of VSCode will disappear overnight

That's the beauty of open source though. VSCode is prominent enough that someone will fork it and maintain it if Microsoft pulls the plug.

That might be overthinking it. Hands are (infamously) tricky to draw. It's a natural mistake when drawing to make the things you spend most of your time drawing the largest. It's embarrassingly easy to spend a lot of time drawing someone's hand or face and zoom out to realize you've gotten it completely out of proportion. To me that's quite enough to explain why hands are often drawn out of proportion.
I was about to say I recognised Toriel [0] and was suspicious it might have been memorising a bit too much.

As for the idea that furry are has too many similarities… I don’t think so. The variance in fursona body morphology is huge. For example, one thing I didn’t notice in this set was Sergals [1].

I saw a lot of verbatim copies of both the fox and the rabbit from Zootopia (possibly with shades of Disney's Robin Hood) and distinctive elements of Sonic the Hedgehog and Pokemon characters. I think it was trained on popular anthropomorphic media, not just furry art, and there's some overfitting. I don't think stylistic inspiration can quite explain its fondness for cheeky foxes wearing green.

Undertale* though the typo makes sense given AI is on topic
Oooh, I did not know this and love to read more about it! Do you have a good source/expository article?
Hi there. One of the original authors of the BlenderBot paper here. This cocohub website is not what we released. It appears that cocohub has removed our safety layer and provided other modifications to the bot. We released our model open source, along with specific instructions on interacting with it safely: https://parl.ai/projects/recipes/

It's important to note that dialogue safety is a very important and nuanced topic, and we did our best to release a safety system attached to the model. Our system is not perfect though, and that is why BlenderBot was released as a research project for furthering the state of Artificial Intelligence, and is not meant for production purposes.

I would also mention that the blender small model significantly underperforms compared to the larger models released with the paper, and encourage everyone to try our best models, not our small one.
I believe a part of this has to do with some software products wanting to control the look-and-feel of their applications as part of brand recognition, which runs counter to the idea that GUI applications should conform to the UI guidelines set in place by the operating system or desktop environment. Some people blame this on modern Web trends, but this phenomenon is not new. A lot of video games for Windows or the Mac never conformed to their platforms' UI guidelines. I also remember when Apple ported iTunes and Safari to Windows during the Windows XP era and the controversy caused by these programs refusal to conform to Windows' UI guidelines (interestingly enough, the Windows port of ClarisWorks conformed to Windows' UI guidelines). Even Microsoft doesn't always adhere to Windows' guidelines; Microsoft Office 97 introduced the Tahoma font, flat toolbars, and other elements, which did not adhere to Windows 95's look-and-feel guidelines, and although Office 97 could run on Windows NT 3.51, it didn't even bother conforming to the look-and-feel of that operating system, which still followed Windows 3.1-style semantics. (To be fair, though, the styling of Microsoft Office 97 was a foretaste of the styling of Windows 2000, which used Tahoma as the system font. Office 97 blends in perfectly with Windows 2000.)

This "look-and-feel-as-branding" philosophy has now entered parts of the Linux community, as evidenced in this public letter to the GNOME community titled "Please don't theme our apps" asking Linux distributions to not apply custom themes to GNOME applications (https://stopthemingmy.app).

Personally I'm a major proponent of native GUI applications conforming to their platform's UI standards, and I'm also a proponent of users being able to theme their environments. In my opinion the purpose of personal computing is to empower the user. Users should be able to control their work environments and their workflows as they see fit. Unfortunately I feel that this philosophy of user empowerment has been slowly challenged, where the user experience is being controlled.
OP said bulking or cutting. Bulking is easier from an energy standpoint (compared to cutting), but it's not trivial. Your body is still tired. Your capacity for problem solving is still limited. And eating (and buying, and prepping) the amount of food needed for bulking is time consuming.

And cutting is even worse. You feel drained. And you sleep more when cutting then you did when bulking.

Both are hard enough that it makes me wonder if you've done either for a decent period of time. If you had, it'd be pretty easy to see OP's point without a flippant answer that ignores what they're saying.
I have sent my CV containing both my phone number and email address to various companies and have never encountered this problem. I don't think the PDF containing your personal information was the problem, but potentially the individual dealing with your information.

Interesting, I'll look into that..

I run VS Code Server on a headless mac mini at home, and I map a subdomain to my home IP (because it needs SSL for the web workers I believe), and then I can connect to it over https from my tablet on the go. I use basic auth on the nginx proxy, and it works for my needs.

That part is working fine.

The hassle is the DNS mapping because my provider doesn't officially support dynamic DNS, and doesn't have an API, so I am using a variety of unofficial workarounds to automate this part and it's not always reliable, although thankfully my home IP does not seem to change too often.
Now I feel stupid. :)
Interesting but Eastern orthodoxy is boring...
This is the way to go. Get something comfortable and with good battery life, these should be your only must haves. Then dump the rest into the server or some monthly bill for some compute nodes for all your heavy lifting. Use the right tools for the job, not a swiss army knife full of compromises.

Gitea is a fork of Gogs. Both are written in Go and are pretty light on resources (they support SQLite as database backend).

Gitlab is heavier on resources and requires at least Postgresql and Redis.

It is the 90M params models and they trained models up to almost 10B params so I guess it gets better with the size (Didn't try way too expensive).

> The thing is, if "consent" is the basis on which you are processing data, then you cannot reasonably refuse service to someone who witholds consent – because that action would itself demonstrate that consent is not the lawful basis you are using. It's not a ban on discrimination, but the fact that your argument for why you need to process personal data would no longer be valid.

This seems backward to me - by allowing access to users who don't consent, you are implying that consent to track is not at all necessary to your functioning, and thus doing the tracking at all is now for invalid reasons... yea?
"It's not going away" is not a good reason not to mitigate.

It is definitely possible to devise a flat UI visual language that would make anything clickable easy to identify, etc.

Two problems: (1) It takes a real and complex design effort, and (2) it's nearly guaranteed to be at odds with the "clean look" aesthetics.

I think it's the minimalist aesthetics that caused the fad of flat design and unidentifiable controls. It strives to make a page / form visually simple, thus hiding its real richness and the irreducible complexity stemming from it. In a misguided attempt to avoid cognitive overload it turns UIs into impenetrable puzzles.

There is a fundamental tension between "clean and simple" and "rich and comfortable". It's much easier to sell "clean and simple" and pretend that it's "intuitive" and does not take any learning. But once you've bought that, and want the power features, they are either not there at all, or are very well hidden ("have you tried triple-drag this to the right?").

Ideally there would be a switch between "beginner mode" and "pro mode", but there's little incentive form the market, because people are just used to put up with the limitations.
I don't know how much he was involved in the "3M" model that Sun pushed, but that was pretty big too: 1 Megabyte of memory, 1 megapixels on the screen, 1 Megabyte/sec network connection. All seems like nothing now, but at the time of the early Sun workstations, that was the definition of a high end machine.

"This is especially important if you have to edit a file on a remote server"

This may have been true a decade ago, but editors like Visual studio code now have remote editing abilities over SSH.

If I need to make a quick edit to a config file, it does the job.

Yes, that's what the article says. The research paper says:

"Several dozen optical echelle spectra demonstrate that HR 6819 is a hierarchical triple. A classical Be star is in a wide orbit with an unconstrained period around an inner 40 d binary consisting of a B3 III star and an unseen companion in a circular orbit. The radial-velocity semi-amplitude of 61.3 km/s of the inner star and its minimum (probable) mass of 5.0 M (6.3 ± 0.7 M ) imply a mass of the unseen object of ≥ 4.2 M (≥ 5.0 ± 0.4 M ), that is, a black hole (BH)."

Just an anecdote from a sample size of one - I had a recent situation where I had to nagivate and edit a code base that was a mix of Go, C++, and JS. And I had a paid IntelliJ Ultimate license. Long story short, VSCode did the best/fastest go-to-defintion like navigation given the constraints. IntelliJ separating Clion to a separate install is rather unfortunate. I can edit Java and Go together, but not C++

In day-to-day usage, it doesn't, at all. Who owns a domain doesn't have anything to do with where the traffic flows.

If I owned buttplug.io (which I don't, unfortunately), and someone sent traffic to me (by visiting the website), DNS would look up and return the IP address of my server, and that's where the traffic would go.

In theory, since the owner of the TLD controls the root DNS servers, I guess they could hijack the DNS to send the traffic to their server instead. We would know if that happened though.

In a past life I had borderline crazy downstairs neighbours. They would usually wake us up by screaming at one another but on this particular occasion the radio was blasting at a ridiculous level. I actually don't think they home and perhaps it was an alarm set on the radio which had turned it on.

Thankfully after about 30 minutes of my flatmate and I getting really pissed off (it was like in the same room loud, not just a minor annoyance) I remembered that I had an old car FM transmitter for an MP3 player, after borrowing the batteries from the TV remote, cycling through the stations I was overjoyed to discover that one of the stations was close enough to the radio frequency to blot out the station it was tuned to. The reason I think they weren't home is I turned it on and off a few times but they didn't attempt to turn the radio to another channel or anything like that. I went to sleep with it on.

Technically the FM transmitter was legal at that point but using it to deliberately block someone else's radio is almost definitely illegal.
Albania blocks medium.com and many porn sites
AKEP, more or less the equivalent of FCC, in Albania with one stroke of a pen has banned Medium.com over a blog linking to a (IMO) cheesy Albanian film. Medium.com apparently has been unblocked but porn sites, including the one that ends with hub are still blocked. Why? Because of a video featuring a very willing journalist with a government official. Ironically her name was mentioned in the order via keywords to block (Streisand effect anyone?)

What is going on here? A lot of the comments on this thread seem to be confusing bad management with metric visibility. And it seems they would prefer to bury the metrics so they are not used to "snitch out" on people. Looks like a mix of dishonesty and toxic culture at work.

We basically built these metrics with Prometheus and grafana because our review queue kept growing. Now we keep everyone accountable, and make these metrics part of our stand-up meetings.

Our PR queue is now smaller, and review time is shorter. We use these metrics not to point fingers, but to ensure people are not overcommitting, overworked, and that people know how many things they have on their table.

I'm quite glad something like this is now available off the shelf
What made me adopt it a while back was the work they put into the plugin system. I honestly don’t remember the technical details (better or real async maybe?)

But the end result for me was being able to use things like deoplete without the editor pausing on me or missing keystrokes.

My guess is these days bringing a newer vim with you vs relying on your distro’s probably has the same benefits. I only use plugins locally and haven’t bothered switching back.
If the original vi used 'jkl;' for movement and put a startup message on the screen for newbies explaining how to exit, I'd probably be using it today.

Turns out that was enough to send me on to glorious decades of emacs.

> Neovim definitely has significant market share, you can compare Github stars as one statistic to consider:

I would not consider GH stars to be at all indicative of market share in this case. Vim is installed by default on so many distributions that people just use it and expect it to be there. I have been using vim for at least 15 years and I didn't even know its source was hosted on GH until seeing your post. NeoVim, on the other hand, is something that you have to know about and seek out, and in doing so it's pretty likely that you end up on its GH project page, making it more likely you'd star it.
