Well, the name only points to the fact that there was a ford (a crossing) on the River Thames where oxen used to cross. Nothing suggests it would have been free — in fact, if I own…

Not that I like Goodreads — I don’t even have an account — but I always check the rating. Anything above 4 out of 5 with thousands of reviews is usually worth reading. It’s very ea…

Same here, I was able to find it in internet archive: https://web.archive.org/web/20250625181250/https://www.terms... it takes a good 5-10 minutes to boot up

"I know that I know nothing" wasn't coined by a regular joe after all.

Law of diminishing returns. We’re talking about less than a 10% performance gain, for a shitload of data, time, and money investment.

I agree in the sense that if everyone did their part, the outcome would be meaningful. This is not to say that traps don’t make your house more livable. Once, I lived in a house co…

Good point. Looking ahead, Search will become a de facto LLM chatbot, if it isn't already.

Portuguese and German are like that. You’ve never seen the word before, but when reading it for the first time, you’ll probably pronounce it correctly. English is awful, but French…

1. about looking artificial. Granted, it is not only summaries that go into the description—how to test, if there is any pre-deploy or post-deploy setup, any concerns, external doc…

Code review has become the new bottleneck, since it’s the layer that prevents sloppy AI-generated code from entering the codebase. One thing I do that helps clean things up before …

One more reason to activate key rotation.

Late reply. There are two groups: 1. The ones who go after the news (a minority). 2. The ones who don’t even bother reading the article (the vast majority). From group 1, we have t…

That shows the danger of the clickbait economy. A weird, provocative headline creates misinformation. Of the people who try to access the article, only 12% actually read it (1% who…

Spot check: "OpenAI has claimed that as of December 2025, ChatGPT has 300 million weekly active users generating 1 billion messages per day. " ** should be December of 2024 ** , my…

Those zealots, gosh. Nonsense. When AI gets stuck in a suboptimal topology, it’s the human who nudges it out. How will you maintain code if you’re not even able to read it? Using A…

You’re right that AI is fast and often more efficient than entry-level humans for certain tasks — but I’d argue that what you’re describing isn’t delegation, it’s just choosing to …

The fact that you consider this “saving time” might show that you are not being diligent with your code. So what if the BDD is done? Read >> Write. As the final step, you should be…

Agree, that is not required. It is an Essay after all. That said, I disagree with the idea that it’s merely about aesthetics.(Hegel’s dialectic, for example, isn’t just a stylistic…

In your first phrases you should already made your context, intent and Key message clear.(Framing) this is one of the lessons of The first minute, a short book that goes well with …

What would be the user case of running in your browser?

A bit of friction and not being visible diminishes a specific behavior (in this case, interaction between blocked parties).

Opt-out is a powerful design choice, but in this case is a clear misuse. When everyone agreed to LinkedIn’s terms, no one agreed at the time to have their personal data used to tra…

xray can only pick up information up to a level. an extra tool(window to our inner bits) without the necessity of making a biopsy is always welcome.

I mean, it might work for ppl who are visualizers (those who like to have whiteboards all around them) and struggle with making a plan to master a skill. I am assuming, of course, …

Just to add to the topic: If you want to bypass a paywall, the best tool is https://www.removepaywall.com/ . It consolidates a few different approaches to breaking paywalls, such a…
