  • I’m currently using Mint, and doing regular backups with Timeshift. I see two possible reasons to switch in the future: if there’s ever an update that breaks my system and I don’t manage to recover a backup, or newer releases become incompatible with my hardware. So far none of this has happened so I don’t see a reason to change.




  • I didn’t know about Chatbot arena, turns out its a 100% subjective rating system where visitors are asked compare 2 LLMs and vote for the “best” after giving them one prompt and displaying their output side by side (sending more than 2 prompts crashed the page for me). That’s a crazy metric to include in your promo material imo.

    static typing:

    • afraid to make mistakes
    • restricts your freedom
    • thinks i’m too stupid to know the types of my variables
    • years of programming yet no real world use found for Option<Option<Result<Int>>>

    dynamic typing

    • bold, fearless
    • null pointer exceptions? catch them and return 0
    • can use eval, easily extendable
