Only two commits have 'Co-Authored-By: Claude' and they're both PR contributions from a non-google email.

For feature parity, the old PC will require USB OTG, HDMI input, wiring for ATX control, and a software stack.

This is why I recently went with a PiKVM. Pricier and clunkier but much more open and transparent.

AlphaPhoenix mentions in the description that he wants to try and image an interference pattern, and it seems possible. Though it wouldn't really be showing you the quantum effect;…

The article never claims tariffs going into effect caused the Q1 issues.

Yep, and that's what I stick to today. I just worry how much longer until the remaining games that support this die out...

Agreed. To be more precise: I think the solution is small, community-run servers. This allows large, consistent groups of players to play together regularly with a much higher perc…

Even better: never use process.exit(). Set process.exitCode instead. https://nodejs.org/api/process.html#processexitcode

I know solo projects always have an infinite list of "nice to haves". But personally I never skimp on vendoring dependencies. In my experience, not vendoring has _always_ led to br…

Avoiding side effects does not require inventing a brand new purely functional language programming language.

Tinc is incredible, it has worked flawlessly for me for 6+ years with exactly 0 maintenance. As trustworthy as it is, I am sadly on the hunt to replace it. Compared to wireguard, t…

It is a weird example. But that transform does not work generally. Consider if you want to stop when insertIntoMouth() returns a particular value. Or if there is some filter() step…

I know multiple companies doing the same thing -- it's really great to use JSX that most JS shops will already know instead of introducing a whole other template language that (typ…

This is a common thought but it certainly hasnt been the case at any of the bay area startups or faangs I have worked at or interviewed for. Always 40 hrs. Are there super heavy hu…

In every interview I've done, lunch was explicitly bracketed by "this is a free, casual lunch that won't affect your interview at all". And as an interviewer, I've never been asked…

There's tons of little details and inefficiencies in elisp that crop up such that easy things like "listen to responses" are hard to get fast. Random example: before native json su…

Plenty of server-rendered apps have been caught putting private data in responses. In this very same comment section people have mentioned the story of a state website that include…

Fair point, but I haven't hit it in practice. Tons of services are embracing docker as a first-class output. I just checked and I run exactly 2 images that are from a third party.

I feel for you. I also wasted a lot of very painful hours trying to get it to work. I even had it working for a while before a docker update broke it -- turns out docker-compose's …

Lots of good points about the challenges of self-hosting throughout this thread, especially maintenance, security, and time-investment. Here's my solution to all of them: Invest in…

Is there really an epidemic of EE's who know how to use a field solver, but don't know to consider coupling between signal lines? My intuition is the opposite of yours: most EEs ac…

There's two bits of controversy: 1) Slander: He claims that the way EE is taught is a "lie" but leaves out the many ways that standard EE models agree with his result. 2) Clickbait…

I find the focus on the employee being WFH very weird -- there's no justification for the remote work situation contributing to this theft. There's just a nebulous claim of too lit…

Aside from being unwanted, it also is symbolic of much of Mozilla's worst behavior. During launch, it was specifically described as not being a paid placement: "There's no monetary…

Their video on the front page contradicts itself. They highlight the UI coded by "user interaction" and no surprise, the Pocket button in the URL bar has tiny usage. And yet, in th…
