The parent is wondering about parking in the bay, before the robot picks it up.

> We didn't write this parser by hand because, at least pre-AI-coding, parsers were extremely difficult to maintain. Writing one without AI would have taken months [...] > Instead,…

I live a couple of blocks away from this Kirkland roundabout and I drive through it very often -- almost every time I go anywhere. Overall, I like it. My average traversal through …

AFAICT this is not talking about Glasswing stuff. They are saying that they were sent a demonstration of Fable 5 being used/abused in some specific way that led to the "discovery" …

This scheme reminds me of smaz ( https://github.com/antirez/smaz ) but with dynamically generated dictionaries.

Skirt too short, in other words? I'm going to place the blame on the party committing the crimes, not the person exercising free expression.

Personally, I like configuration languages that don't let you "go nuts" in the first place.

It is 1995. You get an unsolicited email with a dubious business offer. Upon reflection, you decide it's not worth consideration and delete it. No need to wonder how it was sent to…

I had to sort by "Top: last year" to see two Copilot-related issues at the top. They are: - https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/159749 - https://github.com/orgs/community…

I really identify with this way of thinking. One domain where it is especially helpful is writing concurrent code. For example, if you have a data structure that uses a mutex, what…

I was trying to understand how an altitude of 470,000 ft compares to other things, so I looked up a few numbers. 470k feet is 143 km. The altitude record for an air-breathing aircr…

I guess to me it seems like common sense that a system that has substantially fewer crashes also has substantially fewer deaths. Maybe we can't make definitive statements about the…

I've done this for a few years as well. I use a terminal+tmux for most work including quickly editing files here and there but for some reason when I get to "proper" focus-mode pro…

I don't think I'm in any of those groups. I own a variety of monitors and can easily tell the difference between 60hz and 120hz. All things being equal, I of course prefer 120hz (o…

Seems intentional. "The trick is not [ignoring the bad thing]".

Well that's partly sampling bias. You're not likely to own a Tesla if you hate the touch controls. My wife and I went through the car buying process this year and test drove a Mode…

My conclusion at the time was that it was not, strictly speaking, a bug. It seemed to be a sharp edge that was WAI. Considering it again now, I do think it's essentially a bug, but…

Yeah, I also moved the tempfiles to a more appropriate location at the same time.

I became intimately familiar with negative dentries while debugging a slow service deploy a few years ago. A deploy that was normally very fast would sometimes hang for a few minut…

> Requires a domain name to be the first part of the module identifier This is only true if you want the module to be publicly 'go get'-able. Private modules can be named whatever …

I work at Liftoff ( https://liftoff.io/ ). It is indeed a great place to work! Join me :) https://liftoff.io/company/careers/

We run on thousands of EC2 instances and our biggest systems operate at millions of requests/sec. No containers*. We use EC2, Route53, S3, and some other AWS stuff, plus custom too…

It's true that most induction cooktops/ranges aren't great for woks, but in principle the induction surface doesn't have to be flat -- it can be a concave shape to match the wok. I…
