Well yeah I hope not! That's what a programming language is for, to turn data into documents.

XSLT 2.0 is Turing complete.

I can't figure out how to set a shortcut that moves the current window to my other monitor. Always have to go into the toolbar to do it.

Edit: And oh! Why do I constantly have to (painfully manually) maximize windows. Preview is constantly choosing a different size, for example. Why is this not remembered.

I can't recall the last time an application in linux forgot its size after restarting.

Well... I'm in Europe, so I don't know if I ever saw a heat pump that can't operate both ways :-)

Until recently, they've not been as common here in the US. Fossil fuels are just so much cheaper for the end customer, and central HVAC units in homes are much more common here.

How is a plain old AC suddenly considered "green tech" and renamed to "heat pump" in Europe?
asteroidburger · 18 days ago
A heat pump is an air conditioner that can run in reverse. In the winter, it provides heat; summer, it provides cooling.

It's greener because it's not burning fossil fuels (directly, anyway) vs. a propane / natural gas furnace, and it's more efficient than resistive heating.

Only 16GB of DDR4 and 1.2TB of storage is not exactly a lot, especially when it’s spread across all of those nodes.

I can confirm this is effective - I have done the same.

I haven't done extensive experiments, but I have noticed anecdotal benefits to asking the LLM how they want things structured as well.

For example, for complex multi-stage tasks I asked Claude Code how best to communicate the objective and it recommended a markdown file with the following sections: "High-level goal", "User stories", "Technical requirements", "Non-goals". I then created such a doc for a pretty complex task then asked Claude to review the doc and ask any clarifications. I then answer any questions (usually 5-7) and put them into a "Clarification" section. I have also added a "Completion checklist" section that I use to ensure that Claude follows all of the rules in my subdirectory "README.md" files (I have one for each major sub-section of code, like my service layer, my router layer, my database, etc). I usually go and do 2-3 rounds of Claude asking questions and me adding to the "Clarification" section and then Claude is satisfied and ready to implement.

The bonus of this approach is I now have a growing list of the task specifications checked into a "tasks" directory showing the history of how the code base came to be.

This sounds a lot like how Kiro works. Your requirements and design are in a .kiro directory inside the project, allowing you to commit them. The process is structured within Kiro to walk you through generating docs for each phase before beginning to write code. Ultimately, it generates a list of tasks, and you can run them one at a time and review/update between each.

Is there any way people would be incentivized to setup a little weather station/contribute to data and get paid. Wonder if there's a model where people could make money/not game the system too. It would have to be standardized/verified to be accurate somehow.
asteroidburger · a month ago
Many people have no problem setting up a station and giving away the data for free.

This is primarily for air quality by default, but you can get temperature, humidity, etc as well. For each station, someone paid for the hardware and is sharing the data gratis.

The thing I don't like is that US companies take it too far, to the point they're violating my privacy and making me uncomfortable.

Why do you need to do a hard credit check before you give me an offer? Why do you need to know exactly how much I owe on my credit cards, car, house, how much I'm paying per month, and how much I've made at every job for the past 7 years?

That feels... excessive. And weird. And kind of unfair. Now you know my paycheck, and the paycheck before that, and how desperate I am. Well, there goes negotiations.

asteroidburger · a month ago
Who's doing a hard credit pull at all, especially before salary's negotiated and the offer's extended?

But it is so late in the process to catch them - hours wasted by so many people.

If it was the norm, the fake worker problem would go away, and the hours would not be wasted.

My main challenge is that we don't have wired ethernet access in our rooms so even if I bought a mini-NAS and attached it to the router over ethernet, all "clients" will be accessing it over wifi.

Not sure if anyone else has dealt with this and/or how this setup works over wifi.

asteroidburger · 2 months ago
Do you have a coax drop in the room? MoCA adapters are a decent compromise - not as good as an ethernet connection, but better than wireless.
