Where do companies otherwise prioritize long-run development over short-term output? In my experience, generally nowhere. So why would this make managers push RTO more? Some who al…

In some areas and for some people, Medicaid probably does count as proper healthcare. But it certainly doesn't for other people / other places. Imagine there being one doctor withi…

This has the legit feel of Lode Runner Returns.

If I were making a single line code change, then Claude's "style" would take me enough time to edit away that it would make it slower than writing the change myself. I'm positing t…

This is interesting, and I'd say you're not the target audience. If you want the code Claude writes to be line-by-line what you think is most appropriate as a human, you're not goi…

This has been true since it stopped being true for Internet Explorer. I've not noticed any significant change over time. I have been using Firefox for over 20 years.

I believe it's that the bus can only serve one chip at a time, so it has to actually be faster since sometimes one chip's data will have to wait for the data of another chip to fin…

Corrupt Qeynos Guards -- Qeynos is SonyEQ spelled backwards. And, depending on your race / class, it didn't even take that much to make them hate you. Killing the corrupt guards, o…

This matches my memory. When I got my dad's old work computer with QuickBASIC on it, and I discovered the compiler, and could write programs other people could "just run", I felt l…

Gotta plug the Portable Puzzle Collection, by the same author as this post: https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/puzzles/

Surprised not to see this mentioned in the article. Lots of places (including a former employer) have done tons of work to upgrade internal infrastructure to support HTTP/2 just so…

The reason this is an issue is that the sub value changes often enough that intergrations ignore it rather than bother users with having to re-OAuth. As far as what Google is doing…

If and only if you are still benefiting from that wrong, or others are still suffering for it.

Yes, it adds an additional level of complexity to do role-based access control within k8s. In my experience, that access control is necessary for several reasons (mistakes due to i…

I understand that reaction, I feel it too. But what is the alternative? Sharing details of an assault? Note that in Tim's response at the bottom of the article, he says clearly he …

> For example, in one run, it edited the code to perform a system call to run itself. This led to the script endlessly calling itself. In another case, its experiments took too lon…

I see why you'd think a human-read one would be better, but in my experience that's not the case. It's not that easy to read out loud and actually sound good. I've spent a fair amo…

How is it a wealth tax? One of the things the wealthy do is hedge against inflation.

A lot of the comments here are bemoaning the lack of third places, but don't seem to have read the intro paragraph of the linked Wikipedia article. > churches, cafes, bars, clubs, …

Loved "Altai" and "Q", the historical fiction they produced (under that pseudonym and "Wu Ming")!

GIL removal doesn't mean "make all of this lockless" it means "replace the GIL with fine-grained locking". So those problems are still solved for Python code. The three issues are …
