    The only thing I'll say is that it's great to see the feedback in this thread applied. It became very obvious to me what the tool is for and an abstract idea of what I can do with …

    Doesn't help much because even the standard library bitrots after enough Python releases. I have things I write today but can't run on a NAS that has older Python. No issues like t…

    Which of those are evolving at the rate of frameworks? BTW I'm of the opinion that frontend tooling developers should actually try to contribute things to HTML and CSS instead of b…

    It's both reassuring and frustrating. Reassuring because they decided to secure IPC somehow. Disappointing because this is such an unexpected failure mode. My scroll direction brok…

    Codex for me behaves very junior engineer-ish. Claude is smarter and tries to think long term. A great example of their behaviours for a problem that isn't 100% specified in detail…

    Redbook is also the Audio CD standard. Lots of redbooks exist.

    The area I live in has homes that remain empty because the investor doesn't need the capital nor the space and just holds empty units for multiple years when they eventually sell (…

    Going from -50dB to -44dB is a much louder change than going from -6dB to 0dB. Human hearing is logarithmic. The dB is measuring ratio of sound pressure level and it's accurate tha…

    Yes, a lot of ISPs do this even after I try to write to them explaining why it doesn't make sense. My ISP is Airtel in India, they very recently started assigning IPv6 at all but i…
