Why aren't you using an IDE with "navigate to definition" conveniently bound to something like middle-click or ctrl-click?

I haven't used a language/IDE combination without this feature in decades.

What if I want the opposite? I was modernizing library usage in C# project and I very much missed a functionality of “show me all classes imported from this package in the current class”.

qntm is really talented sci-fi writer. I have read Valuable Humans in Transit and There is no Antimemetics division and both were great, if short. Can only recommend.

I haven't played GTA 2 much, but the first one was certainly pretty violent narratively speaking. I remember a mission where you have to drive a truck full of explosives into a building and blow it up, for instance.
garretraziel · a month ago
Oh, GTA 2 had one where you had to steal a bus, go through its route stopping at stops, picking people and then you had to drive the bus to the sausage factory…

Is a video documenting racist behavior a racist or an anti-racist video? Is faking a video documenting racist behavior (that never happened) a racist or an anti-racist video? Is the act of faking a video documenting racist behavior (that never happened) or anti-racist behavior?

It doesn’t have to be either for it to be morally bad.

You don't see the issue because you're not squeezed yet.

Imagine there are no more cheap places to rent anymore and American work culture invades Europe. Shops are no longer closed on Sunday, you're expected to be on call on weekends, and you have a paltry 14 days of vacation for the year.

garretraziel · 2 months ago
Wait, I live in central Europe, shops are normally open on Sunday and I do have to be on call on weekends (albeit only once a month). Did I miss the part where we became America?

I have one and I am really happy with it. YMMV of course.

Small correction: the AX211 card in the Framework 12 is able to connect to networks, not just scan. What you're missing is that a bunch of the Wi-Fi firmware blobs were removed from the base system between FreeBSD 14.2 and 14.3, and since 14.3 came out in June 2025 I assume that's what was tested. An upgrade from 14.2 to 14.3 would also have kept working, just not a fresh install of 14.3 or 15.0.

A user needs some other working network connection first. I used my Android phone's USB tethering — all that takes is a quick `dhclient ue0`. Then one can run `fwget` to get the firmware that will make the Wi-Fi work fully: https://man.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?fwget%288%29

Source: very happy Framework 12 owner (currently dual-booting Windows 11 Enterprise and FreeBSD 15.0 + Wayland + KDE) :)

I have tried this very same combination - F12 + FreeBSD + KDE on Wayland and WiFi works to me out of the box (even during installation!), but a lot of things doesn’t work for me - suspend and resume doesn’t work at all (even when I blacklist WiFi kernel module - suspend starts working, but resume doesn’t). A lot of apps on KDE also crash for me - every time I try to run Konqueror or Falkon they crash immediately).
garretraziel commented on I failed to recreate the 1996 Space Jam website with Claude   j0nah.com/i-failed-to-rec... · Posted by u/thecr0w

I'm not trying to dispute this though. Although I appreciate the clarity, I am aware of the web's past.

The only point I was trying to make was that this project could be better achieved by an LLM if spacejam.com's HTML is supplied.

For why you'd want to do this rather than simply use the original code is up to the developer, but I'd expect a common reason to be the ease of modern frameworks. Some justifications for making Claude create the same code again in a different framework include:

- Using <script> tags is bad practice in a lot of modern frameworks, and it's better to just translate to React and run your logic directly within components.

- Perhaps you're using TailwindCSS, in which case it's a good idea to port over all the original CSS so you can have unified codebase.

- Hosting on modern frameworks is often conveinent.

- Sometimes (although maybe not for a website this small) the source code with a framework is less verbose.

You probably misunderstood me because I paraphrased "raw" HTML several times throughout my comments in this thread before I actually read the page source and realized it was the original source code.

I think that the reason why everyone is acting surprised about your suggestion is that the target wasn’t to obtain the page in some higher level framework or anything. The HTML of the page was what the author wanted Claude to output. Would he used source HTML as an input, there would be nothing for Claude to do. Different exercise.

Let me be that guy: we live in a time of collapse, for both the environment and international relationships – do we really need more gaming rigs?
garretraziel · 4 months ago
OK, but do you expect Valve to do anything about first two problems you have mentioned? (OK, saying “our next console will be a bunch of refurbished PCs we have sourced from local junkyard” would be a flex)

What's worse, damage from lead or damage from constant obsession about lead?

Damage from lead.
