Mercedes’s stars have been on springs for decades indeed. You can easily push them over (but make sure you put it back nicely). I think Rolls Royce’s Spirit of Ecstasy pops back into the hood but I don’t know how that works on impact.

I write my notes in org-mode. It’s supported in many editors in a basic form, letting you add code snippets etc in an unobtrusive way. Using a well thought out format helps you in the long run.

I use this in Emacs, through which it lets me refer to emails, execute code snippets, attach related files, fetch content on/from remote servers, send off the debug session as an html email, … Support will depend on your editor but even as raw text it works.

I don’t use something specific to make non-code repeatable as you suggest here, but you could embed a test language in an org code block.

The syntax is straight-forward and exports to multiple external formats exist (eg: html).

https://github.com/mu-semtech/sparql-parser contains an EBNF parser for SPARQL, an LL(1) language. You might be able to borrow code, not sure how well it translates to scheme. GitHub asked me to log in to see the gist so I’d have to have a peek later.

sparql-ast folder contains the relevant bits regarding the parsing.

Nice script. What is the reason to toggle the brightness?

Set up a Matrix bridge and promote it too. You can’t force a community but you can inform and give choice.

The writing style and positive fighting spirit of https://lemmy.world/comment/3597938 is great. Would read a book of this person.

Latest ollama has support for AMD GPUs. I had to compile from source to make it pick up the GPU on my system.

Has that changed recently? I’ve ran ROCm successfully on an RX6800. I seem to recall that was supported, the host OS (Arch) was not.

Depends on how much the old banger is driven. The tipping point is much earlier than I expected.

I’d love to drive the old bangers more though. The rumbling sounds and the hope it’ll keep up as the engine gets pushed beyond reasonable limits before the inevitable gear change. The whistling turbo as you reach its zone and the gently ticking valves of a cold engine. But turns out gas guzzling fun was never going to be a lasting treat in our habitat. As I write this, our neighbourhood has a reasonable chance of getting flooded because of the strange weather lately, and I am glad I’ve grown to appreciate the lovely hum of our electric minibus.

We need to travel less and enjoy it longer. Much much less. Every region is different. Our region has good public transport if you accept cycling for 30 minutes. Traveling 100km for work daily is bad for the environment. So we mostly need a culture change here. And people who lack the funds seem to care even more for cars here so we need cheap electric cool econoboxes with too, I guess.

Kubernetetes is crazy complex when comparing to docker-compose. It is built to solve scaling problems us self-hosters don’t have.

First learn a few docker commands, set some environment variables, mount some volumes, publish a port. Then learn docker-compose.

Tutorials are plenty, if those from docker.com still exist they’re likely still sufficient.

Agree.

I found it more tempting to accept the initial answers I got from GPT4 (and derivatives) because they are so well written. I know there are more like me.

With the advent of working LLMs, reference manuals should gain importance too. I check them more often than before because LLMs have forced me to. Could be very positive.

Perplexity.ai has been my go to for this reason.

It often brings up bad solutions to a problem and checking the sources it references shows it regulary misses the gist of these sources.

There sources it selects are often not the ones I end up using. They are starting point, but not the best starting point.

What it is good for is for finding content when I don’t know the terminology of the domain. It is a starting point ready to lead me astray with exquisitely written content.

Find trustworthy sources and use them.

Do you fact-check the answers?

It helps that the model Y has a trunk that’s actually accessible versus 3. I would much prefer a practical sedan or wagon but there is not much choice besides the Model S (which lacked a tow hook until recently) and the EQE/EQS (for which the styling requires some getting used to).

The sentiment I hear around me is that you have been lied to.

We have kept the lights on, like many of you asked, and we are looking forward to welcoming a new humorous generation.

Sure, it is not going to be under the same conditions. Things have moved around when you left. Empty voids have been filled. Regardless, I’d love for us to see the propaganda of the time for what it was, propaganda and lies, and to bring the actors and platforms responsible for willingly spreading lies to their knees.

Together we stand stronger in a strong Europe, and reuniting is a sign of Europe’s resilience to external influences.

Be honest. Say you don’t have references so that you intend to prove yourself from day one.

Most hiring we do is based on what we can find publicly and how the conversation goes. If you have more to show, that helps. We hire (developers) based on code and gut-feeling. We don’t do the roles you are looking for but if you have been looking for a longer time already, open an issue on an open source reository you care about and ask how you can help sort out tickets and ask follow-up questions.

Companies search for value (often money, but smaller copanies tend to search broader). For customer support I expect that to mean “low monetary investment (including training), high output”. Perhaps they need some flexible additional support. Ask them what they need, see if you can offer that, explain/convince how you will bring offer that and ask if they see improvements to the plan.

P: also what andrewgross said. Customers count, friends can count. And having ran a business that worked is a great reference to show you do what is necessary.

Late to the party but thank you for making this theme.
