It's about the value to you versus the effort you put in. For me the granularity you are talking about is too much effort. All my supermarket shops go in one big category "groceries and household".

Start easy and see what you want to get out of the data. If you can store the original source (e.g receipts) so that you can later go back and increase the granularity if you find yourself wanting it, that would be ideal.


It's easier to view the tweet, to be fair


I don't get all of the complaints about the tone of AI chatbots. Honestly I don't care all that much if it's bubbly, professional, jokey, cutesey, sycophantic, maniacal, full of emojis. It's just a tool, the output primarily just has to be functionally useful.

I'm not saying nice user interface design isn't important, but at this point with the technology it just seems less important than discussions about the actual task-solving capabilities of these new releases.


Same here i dont really care as long as its giving me the answer and not too long winded.

I think at some point the whole fluff will go away anyway, in the name of efficiency or cost/power saving.

There was a recent article about how much energy these fillers are actually using if sum everything up


You can't extrapolate from your own experience in that way. There are billions of people having a different experience to you in a multitude of different ways.


Then just don't go? I personally prefer mixed gender spaces but I can understand why some people might prefer single gender spaces. It doesn't mean they necessarily have "an issue".


Because it's an easy and widely used framework to write JavaScript components that react to changes in state


The diff will tell you what's changed, but it doesn't tell you the "why" of the change. A project should store that information somewhere; whether it's in pull request descriptions, issues/tickets, or the commit message, which is a perfectly reasonable choice.


I love this:

> Note that these are large files; both are over 1.6 Megabytes, so don’t load these if you have a slow Internet connection

Just shows how far internet speeds have come...


I did often in my degree, not for multiplication but the cross product


sure, but in that context there's no ambiguity (and technically, it's not the "times" symbol, that's the cross product symbol). We don't really use "x" in vector maths, it's all "a", "b", "v1", "v2", etc =)

(at best you might use a .x subscript for 3D graphics but when did anyone ever do that by hand)


Agreed! It looks cool, but it's not the best visualisation to actually read the data.
