I guess it’s a question of whether you’re designing a system from scratch, or having to deal with an existing one. I took the original question to mean the former, but yeah it’s not much help if you’ve already got classes and you have to figure out how to make them play nice together.

Having worked for nearly two decades in a functional language now, that’s precisely how I feel about the imperative style.

The whole knee jerk reaction against anything AI related is tiresome and utterly irrational. This seems like a perfectly legitimate use of technology. If I have a movie in a language I don’t know and I can’t find subs for it, then I’d much rather have AI subs than nothing at all.

Being lightweight is valuable in my opinion, it’s also a really nice architecture without all the baggage that Linux has. I find it really appealing to have lean software that’s optimized for a particular use case. It’s also POSIX compliant so a lot Linux skills are transferable, and software from Linux is fairly easy to port over. The fact that Firefox got ported shows that it’s doable even with complex GUI apps.

After working with Clojure where dev workflow is interactive, I can’t imagine going back to writing a bunch of code and then trying to compile it all at once. Being able to run your code as you write it saves you an incredible amount of headache.

Yeah, I’ve run into that too. Not really sure what’s causing that. Might be worth opening an issue to see if the author might have some insights.

Yup, it comes with a number of trained models, and you can use custom models as well.

It has both male and female voices, but you can only use a single voice for a book

For sure, and the results are surprisingly good I find. It has some quirks, but overall it’s a pretty decent narration.

Oh yeah, I loved playing it when it came out as well. Was hands down one of the most innovative shooters of the time. I haven’t tried building it locally, but might give it a shot and see how that goes.

yeah any time you have to do something under pressure basically :)

I find comic sans mono actually looks surprisingly nice for coding and terminal.

I find codium is pretty great overall. It’s become my daily driver now.

it is highly technical and JVM specific :)
