Not op but a similar experience. I used cursor with claud to generate a small bash script to set up a Postgres container, iterate over local migration files, and apply them using p…

I am curiouse, how complex was the app? I use cursor too and am very satisfied with it. It seem that is very good at code that must have been written so many times before (think re…

At no point does the author suggest that AI is not going to happen or that it is not useful. He expresses frustration with marketing, false promises, pitching of superficial soluti…

In simple economics, a decrease in price typically results in an increase in demand, unless the demand is inelastic. Anecdotal experience: Onset of tools such as NumPy, which made …

How do you define elite programmers? If you define elite programmers in the context of actual coding as those who excel at implementing ideas and solutions, I could imagine that th…

Would the increase in productivity not happen to almost all people if they were given the interesting work and the direct support of a good leader to help them focus? At least, I f…

I flew with them a few times as well as KLM, Emirates, and Singapore. Lufthansa's customer service, on-board experience (i.e. food & entertainment), is not on par with the others. …

My two cents: I worked in a different engineering field before transitioning to Software Engineering because "coding" was and is what we need to solve problems, and I got the hang …

That is right, but it is a global market where Novo Nordisk can decide to sell in a country or not, so I do not think they would sell below cost. I agree with the point that the US…

How is it different from the normal market? If I have a product and sell in Germany for 50 USD and Switzerland for 100 USD because that is what people are willing to pay, would you…

Would you mind to explain? My gut feeling tells me you are right but I can not follow 100%.

Indeed, my mistake and agree. Here, I wanted to refer to the fact that the transfer of ownership could likely be done even without involving a notary or a human in a properly digit…

Common in practice is 0.5%

There are ways to ensure the correct transfer of ownership without involving a third party. You can see these principles at work on some trading platforms already, be it for Magic …

I appreciate the new features that Next.js is rolling out, such as the app router. However, I'm curious if there's a risk of future features working exclusively, or at least best, …

I would like to build a proof-of-concept (POC) app. For this, I need to access a device's geolocation and orientation in space. I have been reading about web APIs on Mozilla Develo…

I've used React over the years, but now I mainly use Svelte. I like React, but for me, Svelte feels more lean and straightforward. Depending on how Threlte (a 3D library for Svelte…

I heard good things about Bishop however I am a SE that would like do know more about what the ML team is doing and maybe work on some ML side projects. Would you recommend Bishop …

Can I easily integrate Rust crates into my Deno app like a smaller extension for number crunching or at one point even something like Polars?

That is true for a lot of western countries but we are expect to produce and consume more concrete until 2050 then we did so far in history in developing countries.

I am always a bit disappointed when only few arguments are provided. Ken Griffin might have a good understanding of the implications of LLM or not but that is hard to tell here. Es…

It gives you a lot of freedom and doesn't force many rules like other non-dynamic languages do. This makes it great for trying out ideas and working with data and machine learning.…

For me it helps with smaller mistakes like typos, naming collisions etc. But it can be more verbose.

Currently I am working on a Python code base with 10k - 100k loc. The service does not depend on Python SciPy tooling or similar but is web backend on top a large db. I worked with…

For me it is convenience as tooling like fmt, testing, etc. are build in and they try to keep api close to browser api's when possible.
