That’s like saying “what’s the best ingredients to learn cooking with?”, firstly it all depends on what your want to eat, secondly it doesn’t really matter what the ingredients are to learn cooking skills.

Trillium is a full featured configurable and programmable self-hosted note-taking app that can be easily configured to suit the use case you’re describing, it does categories, tags, links to other topics etc.

Someone suggested I try Supermaven yesterday, it’s got some good benefits over competitors. It has a 300,000 token context length so it can send a very large amount of context for your completions, and it has an extremely fast API response time (usually less than 200ms) so completions appear near-instantly as you’re typing.

It’s the first “copilot-like” tool I’ve used, and I’ve only been using it for a day, but so far I’m liking it. And I’ve already signed up for the $10/month pro plan.

+1 for CBAT

A few people I work with, in the data science and environmental science fields.

That’s a great perspective, thanks for sharing that and it makes me want to reconsider using Gleam, but even more so makes me want to properly learn Erlang. And actually I’m not really a fan of Ruby, so that’s not something I’m attached to in Elixir.

I certainly appreciate the introduction of typing in Gleam, but one criticism I’ve seen of Gleam is the lack of function overloading, that is such a core feature of both Erlang and Elixir.

What’s your thoughts on Gleam vs Elixir?

I just started learning elixir last month then I read about gleam, watched some video introductions, it looks good, but I think Elixir is still the better language to learn right now to choose one.

Ah yes, H’taln’k from J’briom-4, flying his Zal’t M’lort class Winger to the Mont Bronl’n port with the day’s haul of Sea Crom’t. Oh won’t his mabs’k be pleased with this delivery.

This was my favourite joke in high school. It was the only proper joke that I memorised and practiced to have a good delivery. I thought it was the funniest thing in the world.

Yeah. I tried it once, just to see if I could do it. Now I know I can, I never need to do it again. I buy the frozen stuff.

As a Queenslander… I often dream of the day I can move to Tasmania. I’ve been there a couple of times (once to a friend’s wedding, and another time for a work trip) and it’s a beautiful place and the only place I’ve ever been that I don’t need aircon running 24/7 to be comfortable.

Nothing. I have this weird thing where I can’t listen to music and do my work at the same time. Listening to music is an active experience for me, I have to focus my whole attention on it and enjoy it. Putting music on as background noise doesn’t work, it gets super irritating because I can’t focus on my work or on the music.

The other issue is that the instant I put my headphones on at work to listen to music, someone comes to my desk to talk to me, without exception. And I hate talking to people, so I avoid wearing headphones at work these days.

Don’t get me started on the number of Toms, Olivers, and Olivias at my daughter’s school.

When these kids start working in offices, is going to usher back in the day of calling all co-workers by their surname “Hey Jonson, I have that report for you from Smith. Thanks Brown.”

I think they used to do that back in the 70s and 80s because everyones firsnames were all James, and Peter.

I’m really only good at one thing, that is designing and developing software. So I try to make all my personal stuff open source, so others can benefit from it too.

This is almond juice, not milk.

Holy mother. That’s like jumping in front of a train every evening and relying on the groundhog day to wake you up in your bed again in the morning.

Drink the fish while on the plane. Problem solved.

Nope, were shiftin’ back, bby.

Everyone always says “a dull knife is more dangerous than a sharp knife”, well why have I accidentally cut myself on my sharp knife so many times? (Disregard the fact that I forget how sharp it is and literally touch the blade multiple times every time I hold it).
