    I want to log off too but mostly because AI slop and bots are taking over. Old Internet was trash but at least it was human trash.

    Especially if there's also a ban on related advertising. Polymarket and others are absolutely flooding the world with ads at the moment.

    Would you also recommend these 2 restaurants if they ignored you for 30 minutes before taking your order, then brought your drinks late after you've already finished your meal? The…

    My kid goes to a public Montessori school, so the tuition isn't much. It's also pretty clear what they do differently if you tour the classrooms.

    Perhaps as a tie breaker if you insert multiple rows in a table within one transaction? In this situation, the timestamp returned by e.g. `now()` refers to the start of the transac…

    You can keep all three and still use UUIDv7 as a performance improvement in certain contexts due to data locality.

    Since we're on HN and you mention California, it's worth noting that with a good job in tech 2/3/4 disappear, leaving only 1 (which is still very nice).

    Of course most people missed BTC. Just like most people missed ETH, AMD, META, NVDA... the list goes on. Hell, I'm sure there are a few boats leaving right now that you & I are in …

    Why don't you refer GP to a suicide hotline while you're at it? Your attitude in this thread has been repulsive.

    I just checked and Austin is over 90F for a full third of the year. Hard pass. https://www.extremeweatherwatch.com/cities/austin/yearly-day...

    I opened the article to make sure that quote wasn't out of context (nothing against you—it just happens often) but it's actually even worse: > [AI can make people] feel like, “they…

    The first time I read about this in the news it was 10 seconds, the second time it was 30, and now it's a minute.

    We bought a new Honda Fit for $18.5k in 2014. It was a full redesign with nice improvements compared to previous model years (reverse camera, bluetooth audio, etc). Since then we'v…

    The "add to your reading list" feature is excellent, and a nice carrot/reward for completing the survey.

    I haven't had a great experience dealing with JSON in Python, but maybe I'm doing it wrong. What would be the Python equivalent of this JS code? JSON.parse( ).foo?.[0]?.bar Basical…

    Depends what you'll be doing with it I guess? My 2022 M2 Macbook Air is great for most things but takes 40s to complete the same test suite that my 2020 5950x finishes in 10s.

    I'm not on VS Code but I use micro as $EDITOR for the exact same reasons and it's great. I don't have to remember special shortcuts just to amend a git message or do an interactive…

    When I program I make all my variables global and name them with BEM to get the same great experience as in vanilla CSS.

    CSS classes are great for that until you need to reuse HTML and/or JS, at which point you're back to square one. People are moving to components because they solve these 3 things a…

    Why would you style an anchor element when your browser already has default styles for it?

    Thank you for sharing that! It's unfortunate that the pgAdmin devs weren't interested, although I understand them wanting to keep it focused on being a GUI.
