I like that theory, if I was going to counter it though, I'd say that I'm not sure those features match what language users talk about. For instance: - C: Users often praise the si…

Not OP but yes if you consume more jam (not if you consume the same over a period of time, because you're then just paying less for jam over a wider time scale). The example I've h…

Anyone have info on if other platforms are seeing the same scaling? And if so, are they seeing problems too? I definitely only hear about GitHub outages, but it is a lot bigger tha…

Those kind of abstract CS interview questions never feel that helpful to me, but in all honesty, your story sounds like a job of the interview working. You were able to demonstrate…

Tangent, but I have a theory that refactoring is one of the best symptoms of a healthy dev team. It's partly that refactors themselves have benefits, but I think more that the bene…

As a UK citizen, it's interesting to think back to Barack Obama's attempt to convince the country not to vote for Brexit (saying the UK would "go to the back of the line" for futur…

I'd be cautious describing market sell offs as good news for anyone since the fall out could be pretty bad (that's a "worst case" scenario, so far nothing like that) There's some w…

I agree that'd be good long term, like the dot com crash. But I wouldn't write off the short term negatives either- the dot com crash was not fun for a lot or people, an AI crash i…

It probably depends on how people interpret it right? I doubt anyone is saying "I love being tracked" - but some people might choose personalized ads over anonymous ones. I don't r…

Yup! Not affiliated in anyway, just a fan. I like jupyter but marimo's my go to for a few reasons: - Automatic reactivity can be turned on (will trigger dependent cells if you upta…

Simple but pretty common use case: If you're ever looking at some pre-existing code and thinking "I don't really get why it's written like this?", you can get a lot out of looking …

I think 5 years ago, we'd just have thought this was a "badly designed menu" and moved on, but now AI has taught us to feel a deep sense of disappointment with it's particular blen…

I can't tell if you're being serious, but if so, this is a bit silly. It feels like saying Covid 19 was no big thing because the Black Death of the 1300s was much worse. But even m…

I loved this article! Regardless of how you feel about AI as an industry or tool, the economics of AI is fascinating. It's awesome to see something like this that gets into the bus…

> historically we didn’t have LLMs which don’t mind “unpleasant[ness]” and “heavy rework”. I'm not quite as optimistic. "Unpleasantness" might sound like subjective disgust, but it…

If you're looking for a non-ghostty recommendation (not that I have anything against ghostty) I use alacritty + zellij and it works fantastic. It doesn't seem to impact battery, I …
