I think these types of projects are really great for developers to exercise their end-to-end skills -- developing all pieces of the product. Kudos for launching it! As someone who'…

Ha, thanks for letting me know! I hope it's not causing too many problems out there :-)

Interesting. Wayne Rosing (Silicon Valley pioneer and early engineering lead at Google) has been working on a global telescope project for a long time now also. https://lco.global/…

I've found the most useful prompt tip is to add to the end of every prompt: "Ask questions for clarification as needed." Claude will then present a list of questions I answer, eith…

I dabbled in Hack and HHVM several (almost 10 now??) years ago but haven't kept up. My understanding was that PHP8+ now includes the improvements that Hack brought, making the leap…

Which raises the question: If the productivity gains are realized by the employer, is the employer not paying this subscription?

Maybe that’s the true destiny of AI all along..

I used to work in the telescope world. Our organization acquired another organization that was working on NGAT: Next Generation Astronomical Telescope. At the time, we were also wo…

Is the engine available as a package/library (like phpspreadsheet)? Also, does anyone know of a golang excel engine??

I’ve always referred to those client/server.

I was confused for a minute, thinking the announcement was that VSCode was going away!

Ahem, did you mean OpenTF?

You don't put your Peloton in your living room like some peasant if you're buying a $1000 car seat.

Most likely because you can't guarantee how it has been used once the first customer has used it. And that will lead to major legal problems if e.g. it has been in a crash and is n…

But haven’t we been there for years…and nothing is changing? Or at least not in the direction you’re suggesting. Seems obvious to me as well: we tried normalizing gun culture and t…

I highly doubt that.

Is this supposed to be a joke?

In America you get accused of crime for this type of activity. Seriously: https://www.malwarebytes.com/blog/news/2022/02/journalist-wo...

Yes, curious about this too. Maybe a quick video handling it to show the weight/quality. Really cool idea for a product though, love it!

This shows how much I don’t use Twitter, but I was curious to verify this and learned I need to sign in (or in my case create an account) to search…is that true?

Right, I don't understand who buys into the Google/Pixel ecosystem now knowing it will be unsupported in a few years.

Is this really considered "first generation" Pixel tablet? Google is so good at killing off products that nobody remembers the previous attempts at tablets?

Texas sure seems to be an outlier though.
