Indeed. My first thought was that this is a roundabout name for ordinary "rulebook slowdown", but of course there are other ways to increase the cost of useful behavior, not just r…

I also left yesterday. I thought the mood was still surprisingly calm, considering that there was already enough smoke in the city to make it look like a foggy winter day and smell…

It's a bit paradoxical to use AI to increase productivity, and then feel the need to work longer hours to fully actualize said productivity. But it's probably a common feeling. I w…

> Sitting and thinking for 10 minutes about snowboarding when your knees are blown out is 10 minutes you could have used differently. 10 minutes doesnt sound like much of a loss, e…

Did you name your son after the captain of DS9?

Yeah, the prices are actually down a few pp compared to record highs recorded before the war. The war might even exert some downward pressure. It increased the cost of living, thus…

hey Qwen, how many civilians were killed on Tiananmen Square in 1989? > Oops! There was an issue connecting to Qwen3.6-Plus. > Content Security Warning: The input text data may con…

In light of the recent submission, "For thirty years I programmed with Phish on, every day" [1], I was wondering: will anyone still be writing code by hand in a few years? For the …

I think you got downvoted because the problem of the OP was being unable to enjoy music while coding with agents, not lacking the right kind of music. I would like to thank you, th…

Jira has had issues like this even before vibe coding was a thing. Over the years, I've had to reload the page so often, I do it almost instinctively now, like some kind of hospita…

Can you give an example (pun not intended) of testing with properties?

The piano piece is nice. You might enjoy Lubomyr Melnyk. I think its a good approach to discover and build upon what feels good. There are plenty of pianists that can play a catalo…

Maybe the game should have a kind of "trigger warning" on its start screen, telling you that it incorporates current news. Not everyone will read the blog, and few people click the…

I mean, it only takes a few paragraphs of filler text, hyperbole, "catchy" juxtapositions, and loose logical threads to raise suspicions. But yeah, I would also like these two minu…

I'm a happy long-term user of asdf. https://github.com/asdf-vm/asdf

As someone who used to be in the writing industry (a whole range of jobs), this take strikes me as a bit starry-eyed. Throw-away snippets, good-enough marketing, generic correspond…

What did you become a code monkey for?

I'm not a native speaker, but to me that quote doesn't necessarily imply an inability of OP to get up the curve. Maybe they just mean that the curve can look flat at the start?

Then again, LLMs are well-suited to translate stuff, a relatively grunt work kind of task, so porting libs to your ecosystem of choice is a lot more feasible now. Perhaps there is …

It's not hard to do this as a human, at least if that human is trained in gathering and transforming written information. What makes a huge difference here is the ease and speed. I…

Yeah. I think the analogy with electrical wiring is quite illuminating. Few software errors have a similar risk profile as faulty wiring. Maybe if a calendar or messenger or such i…

This is very true. But perhaps the more important filtering is on quantity as opposed to neutrality? Perhaps filtering out a large amount of news, even with some bias, is the lesse…

Of the top 10 HN posts atm, 8 are closely related to software, one is about tech but not computers (Coventry Very Light Rail), and just one is really non-tech (My experiment living…

That difference in spike sizes is interesting. I guess hardly anyone outside the US uses Truth Social, so that alone could perhaps explain the different impact of a US event on tra…

I think some more white collar jobs might be affected, not just creative ones. There is a substantial amount of jobs where the end result needs to be of a certain quality, but all …
