    The entire administration has been operating on empty threats (see Brendan Carr's FCC speech policing). But most companies don't call them out on it, they just roll over

    One thing people have pointed out is that well-specified (even if huge and tedious) projects are an ideal fit for AI, because the loop can be fully closed and it can test and verif…

    Very funny for this to come from the Warhammer studio, specifically

    std::simd is so nice and easy to use, even as someone who's never done SIMD before. I wonder why it's stuck as nightly-only

    I had something similar happen after sleeping a few times with my first-gen airpods pro. I think something must have gotten filled with earwax or something, because the noise cance…

    Super cool! I assume it plays nice with rust-analyzer?

    I've heard that VSCode gets some special treatment and integrations with the typescript server that go deeper than normal LSP

    I had the same experience and the same outcome. Zed was super fast for editing but slow for rich features, which on the net slowed me down compared with VSCode

    Last week someone wrote a blog post saying "We dodged a bullet" because it was only a browser-based crypto wallet scrape Guess we didn't dodge this one

    I honestly don't think this administration wants economic allies

    I feel like Dropbox has never figured out how to expand beyond folder sync. Which, it's still a fantastic folder-sync client and I'm a very happy customer of that product. But I mo…

    When Samsung came out with its ultra-thin phone earlier this year, reviewers said you can't really tell from pictures but it really does feel different in-hand, and is substantiall…

    I like Rust's approach, where common "errors" (eg unexpected responses from other systems) have to be handled, while true unrecoverable errors don't affect the signature

    I got this confused with the Bear note-taking app for a minute ( https://bear.app/ ), since it's in a closely adjacent domain and even has similar value statements. Unfortunate nam…

    It's still remarkable because so many people with that amount of money are still on the grind, still chasing the siren's call, still feeling miserable because it's not enough, stil…

    Scaling aside, "without thinking" vs "with thinking" will never not be funny to me

    Yeah. I think I've only ever found one situation where offloading work to a worker saved more time than was lost through serializing/deserializing. Doing heavy work often means wor…

    I find the "killer app" right now is anything where you need to integrate information you don't already have in your brain. A new language or framework, a third-party API, etc. Som…

    I also just prefer CC's UX. I've tried to make myself use Copilot and Roo and I just couldn't. The extra mental overhead and UI context-switching took me out of the flow. And tab c…

    You're spot-on that excel managed to break through because it's one of the few kinds of rigidness that was both legible and familiar enough to the average person. But very little e…
