Personally, I've kind of given up all structure.

I have a script that creates a Markdown file with basically just the date in the file name and then it opens it in my text editor. All Markdown files are in one big folder. Notes, todos etc. all go into the there.

So long as a file is open in my text editor, it's actively relevant. Afterwards I'll use full-text search (like grep -iR), if I need something again.
I will often specify a title in the Markdown, but mainly because it's a great place for keywords to make the file easier to find again. It's also my way of tagging the files.

I mainly like this way of working, because I spend very little time on inputting information, which I do way more often than retrieving information (at least for the files which aren't actively open in my text editor).
But I've also never used a structured approach for more than a few months without it turning into chaos, where full-text search is the only option anyways.

Maybe this would be different, if my tasks were more structured. Your mileage may vary. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Hmm, yeah, that is interesting. I'd say every native German knows "nix" (as in nothing). Maybe 10% would be aware what a "Nixe" is (female water spirit).

Personally, I wasn't even aware that there's a male version. I could've guessed what it means, when used in a sentence, but if you asked me without context, I probably would've been too thick to figure it out. 🙃

Claude produces notably flat event escalation, GPT over-indexes on dream sequences, and Gemini defaults to external character description.

Which are all ways of creating more text without saying anything. Repetition is another classic.

I feel like that's a problem with all low-effort, AI-generated texts (which is the vast majority of them): You give it a prompt with maybe ten pieces of information and expect it to generate a text that's a hundred times as long, while also not straying too far from the prompt.

Of course, it's going to take every opportunity to not say anything that would advance the plot. Because advancing the plot means either using up the little input you gave it, or to invent new information which might contradict the prompt...

I've always seen fans call it "cutting edge" or "leading edge", as it's somewhere between other distros with it shipping most feature updates once every six months.

Personally, I prefer something more up-to-date, but at least you don't typically get stuff in the Fedora repos that's so out of date, that it's actively broken.
For example, for $DAYJOB, I need the reuse CLI, which states in its documentation to install it with apt install reuse. On Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, that's just a dumb idea, because the version in the repos is 3 years old and crashes when you go to use it, producing subtly wrong results. That cost us half a day of debugging this week, for no good reason...

Yeah, I'd also be surprised, if most ovens could even regulate the temperature that accurately...

Verstehe ich auch echt nicht. Also ja, manche der Zutaten sind günstiger, deswegen wird man die wahrscheinlich beimischen. Aber da ist ja trotzdem pro Zutat ein gewisser Aufwand für Einkauf, Logistik und Verarbeitung dabei.

Also z.B. hätte man sich ja entweder für Himbeersaftkonzentrat oder für natürliches Himbeeraroma entscheiden können. Beides zu nehmen, wirkt einfach nur irrational...

"Nix" is in the dictionary. It's a colloquial version of "nichts", not a misspelling...

Oh man, I just woke up in the middle of the night, and in ~~perhaps~~ most definitely a stupid move, I immediately grabbed my phone and continued scrolling Lemmy.

This post's title was the first thing I read, within like 10 seconds of waking up, and I didn't yet clock the actual sentence, but my brain still went "Wait, what?" when I read "Islamic Republic of Japan".

So, apparently still more awake than Trump is in the middle of the day...

I mean, you will cut a chunk out of it right after, so this feels like the more humane way to murder it...

Feels like a weird decision from a business point of view, too, to gut your studio right as you come up with new projects for it to tackle.

Maybe those devs aren't needed in the early stages of these new projects and they expect to be able to rehire when they are. That's still short-term thinking, but at this point, I would be surprised, if anything at Microsoft happened even with just this much rationale.

There's probably one decision that they need to milk their cash cows some more, and an entirely separate decision that they need to bolster their numbers for shareholders to be happy with this quarter. And the only time those decisions crossed paths, is in some middle manager who's told to make the impossible work...

You can also just block jankforlife and get rid of 99% of dumb takes...

Yeah, one of the reasons why I like low-fidelity games is because the devs can just think of an idea, slap together a few pixels into a texture and ship it. You just get much more varied and interesting content that way, because they can easily experiment with ideas and also remove stuff, if it doesn't work out, without it being much of a time loss.
