I really like this. I'm currently doing a part time BSc and my current module explicitly allows AI usage as long as you 'cite it'. The guidelines are out of date in that they assum…

I think Burroughs would have leaned into AI... probably would have cut up its responses anyway! We all know that LLMs are terrible at producing interesting writing so I agree with …

sounds like you just want to live in europe (or probably anywhere outside of the US?). You can typically go buy a half (or quarter) loaf of bread from a baker, and street markets l…

I kind of find this absolutely infuriating for reality, but super fun for diagrams of things like 'interdimensional subcutaneous engineering' or whatever scifi/fantasy word salad y…

At least with the folks i hang around, liver damage from years of over-drinking is probably more likely

I've known people who've overdosed on Tylenol and died. I'm not saying that ibuprofen won't give you acid reflux and won't damage your kidneys, but due to I tend to take a lot of i…

What's differentiates this from something like gleam/lustre?

I think developers fall into two camps: 1. you care about shipping working, tested code that solves a specific business/user problem 2. you care about closing tickets that were ass…

1000% this. I actually am using htmx at ${JOB} and this is essentially the only downside to htmx. I want to know which template partial is getting swapped. My IDE doesn't know. I n…

We set my son up with a linux computer when he was 9 - he was always dragging broken electronics home off the street, so when he found an old beat up thinkpad we managed to get it …

I've been building a largish webapp with htmx and I've leaned into web components for these more complicated interactions. I've found htmx great for everything that _should_ involv…

I want this to be the plot of bladerunner - deckard must hunt down errant replicants before they completely go insane due to context limits

SO I worked as a professional musician for over a decade before a career change to software development... and since that change, the act of _listening_ to music has completely dis…

Part of me wants to say that it's best to work in a 'low-ego' environment as opposed to a 'high-ego' one - or to avoid working with people who have 'huge egos'... but I honesty fin…

This terrifies me

I'm sorry, California does indeed allow children to skip grades. I also live in California and can think of 2 kids in my son's school who have skipped a grade. It is totally permit…

"For a simple example, a better home craft than lemonade might be a pastry, taken seriously. Not sugar cookies or muffins, but the kind of thing that is plain for a 13-year-old to …

They teach gym

I clicked on this link with one of my two index fingers and felt the joy of a person feeling enjoyment

I want an author who's work is completely unidentifiable from one release to the next. Or to find a dozen authors who have inconceivably and independently created identical manuscr…

My first language is English. It's not that I found the grammar is 'easy' in the sense of being simple, but rather that it is extremely regular, I'm not sure there are even _any_ i…

This is amazing, I just want to drop everything and start digging through this. Well done!

I've really enjoyed all reading about all the vulnerability blogs posted over the last month! And from so many young researchers, it's super inspiring

I'm too out of practice to really engage at this level. But actually, I meant I would like to learn the Ottoman Turkish of government and literature. I obviously can't go back in t…

Yeah it took me until B2 or so before I could get any Germans to really engage with me in German. My son grew up there and his German was quite good while we lived there, and even …
