Oh, so that’s what all of you are talking about.

I still don’t really see what all the fuss is about

Shell scripts don’t count

That’s not a programming language, that’s hieroglyphs

Exactly, that’s why you write down ideas immediately, when you have them

I have obsidian set to dump new notes into an “Inbox” folder

If i have an idea, i jot it down in a new note (usually from my phone), and move on

Then i can later catalog it properly

Don’t brainstorm

Collect ideas as you think of them throughout your day. Then when you need to “brainstorm”, read through your ideas and references

How to take smart notes

Most of the time, it’s me

Even medicated, it’s impossible for me to keep a normal sleep schedule

I think of it as compensation for waking up at noon every day

It haunts me in my dreams

I’ve never really had good ideas to post

Even on reddit

We kinda do, with GPS satellites that have to correct their clocks due to the effects of gravity and speed

And communication with space probes

I use 24h clocks and ISO 8601 dates almost always

Honestly, I’m better at organizing code than I am my actual life

Timezones make intuitive sense for humans

UTC / Unix timestamps make intuitive sense for computers

The issue is bridging the gap

There’s a reason I run Linux, and root my Android

Because it actually feels like my device now

(And fixing issues is significantly easier, if you know where to look)

I am a programmer, and i also like the naming scheme on the right

Especially for things like filenames

I’m so glad i can use Linux on my work PC

It’s an explicit “opt-out” by the OP, such that their content cannot (legally) be used to train LLMs or such (Chat GPT, Github Copilot, etc)

Well, that’s what I assumed until i read the license terms. It doesn’t explicitly mention AI or LLMs, but it does say

You may not use the material for commercial purposes

Which i assume has the same limitations for AI training, for commercial AI

(I am not a lawyer)

While i also disagree with python’s tendency to use exceptions as control flow

Python is a pretty stellar scripting language. I wouldn’t use it for app dev, but it’s quite handy for the odd automation or CLI task

I’ve gone full linux both at home and at work. Thankfully, most of the tools we use are cross platform / FOSS. But in the odd case, I use KVM (the linux equivalent to Hyper-V) to spin up a windows VM

It has it’s issues (like graphics card pass-through), but it works pretty well
