The water cooling system that only needs to be used once

I just tried and got "about 40,000 billion kilometers". Also the references are completely different from the ones in the post, so I guess it was a ranking issue

AI is just too unpredictable, hard to know what's accurate and you end up doing the work yourself anyways

that's awesome, did not know about that handy operator!

The other command could just be printf '' >> file to not overwrite it. Or even simpler >>file and then interrupt

I generally agree and like this strategy, but to add to the other comment about catching reimplemented code, there's just some code quality reviewing that cannot be done by automating tooling right now.

Some scenarios come to mind:

• code is written in a brittle fashion, especially with external data, where it's difficult to unit test every type of input; generally you might catch improper assumptions about the data in the code
• code reimplements a more battle tested functionality, or uses a library no longer maintained or is possibly unreliable
• code that the test coverage unintentionally misses due to code being located outside of the test path
• poor abstractions, shallow interfaces

It's hard to catch these without understanding context, so I agree a code review meets are helpful and establishing domain owners. But I think you still need PR reviews to document these potential problems

I don't want to think of what the FaceTime integration would be like...

Seems like John was trying to.. cut some corners

It's not really the ideal method, but if you use the global search and type in lemm.ee, and then after submitting switch to the Communities tab, you can see communities for that instance

I'm not sure how generally effective this is, would certainly be nice to have an easy way to do this

EDIT: actually this might just be communities with "lemm.ee" in the community name, not searching on instance name

A couple mentions in here of Linux Mint, I also recommend it having tried out a few distros before landing here. Especially if you go with an external GPU laptop, which might be a good choice for gaming needs, then Linux Mint has been really good about solving all of the annoying driver problems that could come up.

I have a Dell G15 Ryzen (AMD with nvidia GPU), it's been pretty good but there's always a trade-off between bulkiness and gaming needs. It's just a little awkward to lug around to coffee shops, but it's certainly got enough processing power for me.

System76 was a contender too, I think I just went with whichever was on sale!

My anecdote, granted I'm no Linux master: I recently went into a distro rigamarole, installed openSUSE, Manjaro, etc, before arriving to Mint, because I could not find one that handled my CPU and graphics and drivers setup without significant effort.

Then I installed Mint (avoiding Ubuntu and its Canonicalness), and setup was very simple and everything worked out of the box. I could run Steam with external GPU without going through many workarounds or setup using nvidia prime and launchers and so forth

Stylistically I also like cinnamon, but Mint mainly was just so low hassle and simple I have to give it props for that
