It does sounds somewhat reasonable on paper. But some of the crosswalk buttons in Belgium have this as well, and it's really jarring. You press the button, see the light go on and …

Does it list itself?

Apple has been required by the DMA to accept non-webkit browsers in the EU for 2 years now. But in practice no one has built one. There are some claims about malicious compliance o…

I try to leave my laptop untouched for as much as I possibly can. Definitely makes me feel better too.

The argument is based on one of these companies hitting the singularity, making it impossible for any other company to catch up ever. I still think it's way more likely we'll see a…

You should distinguish between residents and visitors. In Belgium, and I believe in many other European cities, street parking for residents is extremely cheap or free.

You can also click the address bar and then press you shortcut. Should be faster and works for all shortcuts AFAIK.

I'd argue that LLMs are not yet capable of the last step, and because most sufficiently large AI-generated codebase are an unmaintainable mess, it's also very hard for a human deve…

God yes. For some reason, I automatically scroll in such a way that I always keep what I'm reading at the very top of the screen. Which means that every time I want to reread a sen…

I'm building web-based CAD software for woodworkers. Not a plugin, I'm starting from scratch. I'm aiming for it to be intuitive for non-technical users (think SketchUp), while also…

If you are using webpack, see if you can make the switch to turbopack. It cut my build times from ~1 minute to 15 seconds, incremental builds are down from 10 seconds to 2. Memory …

For me, the answer to this question is: parts that involve no architectural decisions, and that won't need to be extended or built upon significantly in the future. When I'm workin…

I had to do a fresh install on a 2015 iMac. Same problems with the SSL certificates. I found it rather shocking that a 10 year old computer cannot be booted anymore, and as far as …

I think OP may be referring to the idea that the total number of calories burned in a day doesn't meaningfully change under a workout regime. Working out does burn calories, but af…

It seems like LLMs in general still have a very hard time with the concepts of "doubt" and "uncertainty". In the early days this was very visible in the form of hallucinations, but…

Exactly. The fact that an LLM isn't very good at helping you fix basic organizational issues like this is emblematic. Quoting the article: "We have automated coding, but not softwa…

There's also no canonical way to write software, so in that sense generating code is more similar to coming up with a potato soup recipe than compiling code.
