It seems the assumption you're making without justifying is LLMs will significantly reduce the cost of software development. Even if LLMs can reliably write new features (or even j…

I did. Your argument seems to be that LLMs allow users who want specific features to direct a donation specifically towards the (token) costs of developing that feature. But I don'…

Funding for open source projects has been a problem for about as long as open source projects have existed. I'm not sure I follow why you think specifying donations will go towards…

I've personally run Gentoo with OpenRC+glibc and OpenRC+musl on my laptop. I assure you ditching systemd was easier than ditching glibc. The OpenRC system mostly just works (tbh th…

idk, the two finger "rolling" pixel-by-pixel scroll seems to work for me - Firefox (also foot terminal, Slack (xwayland), and Signal) on Scroll (a Sway fork) on Debian (testing) on…

At least for Python (since I'm more familiar with Python code and the Python ecosystem): progressive typing lets you incrementally add typing to an existing Python codebase. So you…

Were the mappings only a subset of the obfuscated classes/methods/etc? Basically making the mapping a sort of public API

My previous employer was about 1k engineers and elements of the interview process were research-backed, but it was mostly procedural (order of rounds, length of interviews, etc) an…

I ask this out of genuine curiosity and not to try to start an argument: could you help point us towards this research? This point frequently comes up when discussing interviews, b…

What metric are you looking at when you say "the size of government has vastly and consistently outgrown the private sector" - AFAICT, excluding 2020 and 2021 (which I think is rea…

I can't remember where I heard this but it stuck with me: Teslas are the new American muscle car - fast in a straight line, but otherwise poor build quality and lacking the attenti…

Kickback: usually refers to a company (or sales rep) giving a large "gift" to the individual at a company responsible for making a purchase decision (influencing that person to mak…

to be fair, I replied that I live in the US and asked for more info and it gave a lot more detail

Can you provide more details about said "significant evidence"? This seems to be a pretty popular belief, despite being contrary to generally accepted economics, and I've yet to se…

This (continuing Francis' school of thought) should be rather predictable - Pope Francis appointed the majority of voting cardinals, so it's not a stretch to think this is generall…

Yeah republicans claim to want to run the government like a business, but the first thing a business should do when they have a deficit is raise revenue! And especially in the case…

The next test of this will be the WI Supreme Court election - if the Musk-backed candidate loses (after Musk spends millions of dollars on the campaign, possibly illegally), it mig…

I thought about a cell modem, but I carry my phone 100% of the time and can just tether

I switched my personal laptop to a M1 Macbook Pro (from a Thinkpad running Linux, also after almost 10 years) in 2020, mostly because I had switched to an iPhone a few months prior…

You also need to consider Fica (social security and medicare) and state and local taxes. Personally, my partner and I made about $470k last year and (filing MFJ) our combined rate …

Were your Lenovo experiences with Thinkpads or something else? I've heard that their non-Thinkpad laptops are not up to the same quality as Thinkpads - personally except for a coup…

$300k income, MFJ, $46k 401k contribution, $8k HSA contribution After standard deduction ($29k), AGI is about $217k. That's the 24% bracket (barely), which adds up to $34,337 + 0.2…

It was a few years ago, but I ran OpenBSD for about a year in college (on a Thinkpad). It worked because I rarely needed anything more than Firefox, code editors, and a shell with …
