Those checked-in specs become the requirements for the system. So the next time you ask the AI to make a fix, it can use those specs as part of the solution and not break another r…

Why was it a maintenance dead end? It sounds like you were able to iteratively work on it in its current state, but are you going to be the one maintaining the code? I keep asking …

I've had a similar desire for a code modelling system for decades, so I've given it A LOT of thought, and there has been a lot of older research into Zoomable UIs and Semantic Zoom…

On the idea of interpreting the weights, I've been very interested if it's possible to compute basis vectors of the weights matrix to define the core concepts within the model and …

Things get obfuscated because someone's viewing the problems from a different abstraction lens, and they're building a system onto that lens. Eg. Iterate through an array: const ar…

Why are they hiring people that need a visa and need to relocate across the world? The ask for compensation for getting dropped before the start date should usually be an easy one …

Has anyone tried to add special clauses to their initial contract along the lines of: "If the offer is rescinded before the start date, the applicant will be awarded 3 months salar…

I've always wanted to see a swarm of miniature roomba drones that can automatically clean/collect dust from anywhere in the house.

I think my new favourite way of managing runbooks is to actually build them into a file tree of a bunch of simple python subcommand scripts, and have a run.sh script that scans the…

I assume each service has its own health check that checks the service is accessible from an internal location, thus most are green. However, when Service A requires Service B to d…

I don't see much of an issue with any company having lots of entry points into different industries. I see more of the problem being tight control over vertically integrated aspect…

I think you'd be surprised. For example, with the wrong hire, one person with bad behaviour could frustrate everyone else on the team to the point where no one wants to work on the…

in case anyone is looking to do this, it's as easy as doing the following #!/usr/bin/env node console.log("Hello World!");

The default editor is usually configurable (of course you'd have to learn all the different contexts you can do this from first to know this is a thing ... discoverability is hard)…

Did you start programming with OOP or Functional programming? Did learning how to programming in the other form seem difficult to understand why you would do things that way, or se…

I think the value of a state machine is treating all of the associated states in a single conceptual model or level. You can definitely do everything directly in a bunch of if stat…

Is there not a better solution for this? We have this baked into our docker builds and it irks me that we have to copy personal credentials into a docker build so we can use git to…

this has been my biggest problem with Meetup style events too. I'm often looking for others with a level of experience or interest in a topic to match my own, only to find people t…

I'd also suggest people making these requests to try and expand their interests to make themselves more rounded and valuable. For example I'm totally the kind of person that likes …

The other ambiguity that I questioned right away was whether the language itself guarantees the order or evaluation or if it's compiler dependent? If I switch between Chrome & Fire…

I disagree. Diversity CAN BE a competitive advantage if everyone else is carving out a strict path. But if everyone is extremely diverse then heterogeneity could actually be the co…

I've found the same thing with most of my friends that own homes. Everyone goes with a fixed mortgage banking on the fear that interest rates would go up. I assumed this was just a…

It's only the text instructions that have this, not the rest of the text. ie one line of the content looks like this, where it's trying to write the text 'Service' BT 0 Tr 0.000000…

Actually I can think of one place I know I've seen explicit null characters in text, and that's a Facebook Business Record pdf. If you download your FB data the text instructions o…
