I don't underestimate it, I know pretty clearly what it's not worth because it's all my SIL-SAHM does in life. It's possibly the difference between them being homeless or hungry, b…

The extra steps with AI are a better and faster user experience than their website.

That’s insane. I actively avoid buying things that are pointlessly internet connected nowadays. An air purifier’s buttons should be simple electromechanical switches.

Microsoft also effectively killed a beloved OEM phone brand as a tax write-off in the process of Windows Phone shenanigans, and famously paid developers to publish shovelware to th…

Climate-wise I presume. Spain sits on a similar latitude to Connecticut, and much of the EU sits north of the US population.

It's already kind of that way with MCP servers popping up everywhere. The JIRA MCP server is like a couple orders of magnitude faster to work with than the website itself.

Yes, it’s dismissive, intentionally and abrasively so. Because the author is being disrespectful to the reader, expecting them to put more effort into it than they did. I will happ…

Saying that something is thought terminating is thought terminating, it's the laziest "I win" bullshit approach ever. A more nuanced approach: don't produce slop and people won't d…

Because it's a strong signal of AI slop. Why put in more work than the "author" did? If the author generated text that required no effort, and has no understanding of the contents …

At that point, gzipped Preact is only 1k larger (and 10k smaller than htmx) and provides a pretty comprehensive and common set of solutions to the majority of front end problems co…

It's easy to follow, it's a knee jerk tribalism reaction and not a logical or informed one. Go attracts backend or anti-frontend people so anything intermingling the two will draw …

Chrome's built in Lighthouse scoring fails your site on lacking sufficient contrast. Subjectively, even without vision problems, I strongly dislike your choice also.

The writing has been on the wall for the last 7 years and the LTS of JDK 25 goes until 2030, 11 years from the point Apple announced their intentions. Java for Mac apps or native J…

When the Commander-in-Chief guts the military leadership to ensure loyalists are at the top and instates a fool as the head of the department, is it any wonder what is causing mili…

"The only secret of magic is that I'm willing to work harder on it than you think it's worth." - Penn Jillette

You just described the complete opposite of the StackOverflow experience.

This whole thing can be reduced to "think of the children", see the literal example around paragraph ~30. I'm not sure I've ever seen anyone try so hard to equate being pro-privacy…

Yeah, curious here too. Torvalds would need to pass first I think, and I just don't see other major players like RedHat, Google, Canonical, or Valve introducing this themselves or …

Does it matter? A site and community that refuses to allow or accommodate anyone to grow and learn as a new user will quickly run out of users. The gatekeeping on SO is a blockade,…

If they're benchmaxed on SVG pelicans then the outcome of that has still produced a surprisingly good generic SVG image generator. Go invent your own random alternatives and the AI…

“If done correctly” applies to about everything though.

I'll take a wild guess and assume they are of a German or Polish language background. Wait 'til you encounter a French person who accidentally uses guillemets if you want one even …

Why pay for a car to drive when you have working legs? To go further, faster.

You can accomplish quite a lot with smaller local models on reasonably priced pro tier hardware (not cheap hardware, but very attainable hardware for anyone making average software…
