Yeah psi is a pretty common unit and trivial to swap between if SI is needed.

Arguments like above often show a lack of real world experience.

Any suggestions on alternatives?

Slack is ok but proprietary.

Element is a new and eg fractal doesn’t have threading.

One can buy weed with crypto. I can’t do that with a bank card.

I guess, not everyone wants a centralised currency

Unfortunately, the official desktop app is essentially unusable.

Fractal is pretty good but less features.

Yeah this wasn’t ratio or even obiter, perhaps convention. Without looking deeper this was along the lines of an impact statement. Whilst it raises points for discussion its a far cry from precedent for the admission of evidence.

I have never once been asked to provide a transcript. Literally never. I also don’t know anybody who has been asked to verify qualifications.

I’m sure it happens but it’s not the standard.

My parents never noticed. It’s only younger generations who are heavily invested in the branding.

Actual usage is much the same.

Very different. Ggplot is for plotting data using a layered approach in R. Gnuplot is more like a plotting toolkit in itself.

Ggplot looks better with less effort typically. It’s comparable to seaborn.

I think the parents suggestion was to not use it.

However, it’s a bit like avoiding water on a boat given how pervasive the cancer is.

Most of the MS suite is pretty awful. OG OneNote was a good idea. VSCode is ok, just quite slow. Oh LSP is fantastic, I believe that was developed by MS.

The Office Suite and PowerBI are terrible, by 2025 standards it’s glossy trash.

Yep. mid size business is the best place to be for engineers. You get your pick Of the lot all without HR 🙃

Every OS just mentioned can be updated, no support needed? Just overlay the next kernel over the last and all these distros provide a pathway for that.

Moreover, Arch, Void, Gentoo etc are rolling, so no loss of support.

I figure a multi-million dollar company could do the equivalent of exactly that.

Python’s usually the better choice anyway tbf. I know piping isn’t as good, but there are so many footguns!

Nushell and Fish can be really convenient too.

I used to adhere to sh for an OpenBSD machine but I switched to python, Rust and Go for, even simple things.

The key is identifying how to use these tools and when.

Local models like Qwen are a good example of how these can be used, privately, to automate a bunch of repetitive non-determistic tasks. However, they can spot out some crap when used mindlessly.

They are great for skett hing out software ideas though, ie try a 20 prompts for 4 versions, get some ideas and then move over to implementation.

See also Mull, No 120hz though.

Also, I don’t think one can export bookmarks from Android Firefox either.

Some js is a bit slower. I typically use chrome for self hosted apps, jupyter etc.

I think wasm performance is actually better in Firefox though.

I see we have the same managers. Were you also advised that public facing databases were better than an API in a VPC and that 1 password shared among colleagues is easier than managing credentials?

Don’t worry, I found a new gig starting in a few weeks (out of the pot into pan )

There’s nothing on Reddit anymore. It’s really unfortunate but I don’t see how this is going to help them regain any consistent user base.

A lot of mathematical languages start from 1: R, Julia, Mathematica (and also Lua and Fish).

I don’t know why, but in, e.g. R, it doesn’t bother me, I get caught by it in Lua all the time.

I suppose it’s a function of how far the array is abstracted from being pointers to an address that makes it easier to mentally switch.

I enjoyed Graphene but I had to go back to stock pixel because it was noticeably slower.

I don’t know why and I don’t know if that is still the case.

Everything worked flawlessly though, very impressive. If ever I buy a new phone I will be using it again. The only limitation, for me, was performance.

However, I try to use my laptop for everything I do, just gym/job and the dreaded occasional phone call.
