The essential work of #programmingnotesfollow is building the theory of the problem + solution. Theory then enables creation of working code. In the end, the code is necessary, but it is not sufficient. Theory is indispensable. (cf. Peter Naur, 1985)

there's a gentle kind of space
not some echoing cave
nor some incessant chirping flock
more a darkened back room
lit by a projector
candid photos of your neighbors
songs made only for friendly ears
and the kind of brave words
that rarely make it out of our hearts

I naively went into a work problem thinking that RAG was solved by the service offered at work, and wow was I wrong. Been a fun week so far experimenting with many different methods before doing the academic research, and it's been nice to be validated by outside research.
@archivist_eyes๐profilefollowYour mind is also supposed to create happiness, not just to receive it. You're supposed to find solutions, to invent, to imagine, to remember, to love. This much we always forget.replied to@ku๐คprofilefollowHai I am ku:
Same here! Though I don't even remember which r/ brought me here.

Any #Netflixnotesfollow shows recommendations? I have no idea what is worth watching (since I rarely watch shows) so now Iโm watching The Mentalist from 2008. They had flip phones then.
game dev with LLMs assisting on some of the engine legwork I learned to do over the years is the most fun programming I've had since I was 12 years old plucking away at the public library commodore 64

Start with cringy poem, end with cringy pseudocode. At least it comes naturally.
I have to constantly be working or I get very agitated. Is this #workaholismnotesfollow? I donโt like entertainment other than background music while working and maybe before going to sleep I watch a series on Netflix to relax. Thatโs when Iโm on my introvert mode. When Iโm extrovert (Iโm ambivert) I have to constantly be around people and outdoors, I get agitated indoors, canโt work at all and definitely canโt watch anything. How do these two personalities co-exist in me?
I'm not sure the world needs another static site generator, but I made one.

Giving the project some TLC this week, doing some bug squashing.
If you want and SSG that doesn't fight you, give it a go.
The world needing one? Never. But you needing one? Always.
If you're not using your own SSG, are you even webbing?

so old I couldn't tell you the end

Regarding the entire history of the internet, I can say I've been largely an observer. I've always consumed content, but I haven't produced any. There's no trace of me on the internet, which is an unforeseen consequence due to China's identity and content policies.
I don't quite understand how China's "Great Firewall" works. For example, how exactly did you access this website?
(I'm communicating with you through translation software.)
As a homeless person without an ID, I don't have any way to pay for a VPN. Also, using a VPN to access the internet in China without government permission is illegal.
