It certainly causes more harm for you as well, by doing nothing to reduce the spread.

Mine is that Covid never went anywhere, still creates long term health consequences with limited treatment options even from mild or asymptomatic cases, and y’all should still be wearing a fucking mask.

In professional contexts when building internal private component libraries, you can use git submodules, but they suck and I'd recommend against them. You can use NPM with private git repos, and that's IMO a much better experience.

Kelp A UI library for people who love HTML, powered by modern CSS and Web Components.

It depends!

For my open source work (kelpui.com), I have NPM options when appropriate. For my personal projects, I just fork the repo.

I’m so tired of the tech hype machine.

Idgaf how you’re optimizing with AI, what the hell are you doing for people?

How are you making the world actually better?

Idgaf what your job title is or what you’re selling.

I could give two fucks about your manifesto or your stocks.

Be a fucking human.

I've become so very much done with tech overall. I used to love this industry—and I do still love many of wonderful people in it—but as we've shifted from a craft to industrialization, everything I loved about the work itself has died.

If Democrats in power are not using every lever they have to obstruct Trump now, why would you believe they would do it later?

That was me simulating my worst case normal workload. A majority of the ram consumption was actually coming from chromium with a typical for me Amount of tabs open.

So weird, tho. Testing all of the same stuff on an M4 Macbook Air we have at home, and memory usage hovers at 14 GB.

Still really close to max (vs having lots of breathing room), but it seems like macOS is doing some dynamic memory allocation to avoid peaking out.

In that case, having the screen repaired is increasingly looking like the better option in multiple ways.

Just ran a stress-test on my current M1 Macbook Pro.

Running my "normal workload," I use about 17-18GB of RAM. I wonder, though, if on an M5 multicore chip that number would be much lower?

everyone knows "but if we ban LLMs the AI bros will just lie about them, so we should let them through" is a bad faith bad excuse and the person saying it knows that every time, right?

Having used a few modern Macbook Airs recently, I can't imagine buying a Pro even for heavy dev use again. It's just not neccessary. The Air is THAT good.

The screen on my 5 year old M1 Macbook Pro is shot.

Can't decide if I should...

1. Replace the screen (DIY + $500/parts)
2. New entry-level Macbook Air (~$1k)
3. More full-featured Air (~$1.5k)

If the replacement screen was cheaper, it'd be a no-brainer. For a 5 year old device... less so.

Shoe brand Allbirds pivoting from footwear to AI Allbirds, the 2010s pioneer of eco-conscious wool sneakers, is moving away from its environmental agenda and getting into the AI business.

AI can fuck off into the sun.

Allbirds has stumbled a lot lately, but this is fucking foolish!

Same! 13” laptops screen and nothing else. My coworkers usually think I’m joking when I first tell them.

I'm not willing to say "they're exactly the same," but they sure as shit serve the same masters and fuck us all over in the process, and I'm sorry it took me like 8 fucking years to see it.

I remember a few years back scoffing hard when you told me that Democrats and Republicans were all part of the same Neoliberal machine.

I don't think fascist is strong enough, TBH. Israel is a genocidal colonizer state and probably shouldn't exist as a political entity.

The short version, if you don't get to Discord:

DUDE! It is SO NICE to see your name pop up in my feed again.

If you're still on Discord, I'd love to chat politics some time. My perspectives have shifted a lot since we last talked, and I wanted to tell you "you're right" about some stuff.

Is it really a ceasefire when Israel continues to kill Palestinians?
