    It's certainly personal. I live alone for the last 11 years and I remember the pandemic as the worst period of my life exactly because I couldn't interact with people. Surely movin…

    I admit I look at the code less and less now. But when I do want that I just ask Claude to show me the code verbatim. It is almost always faster than click in IDE because it greps …

    Do we still need an IDE though? I am very happy with Claude Code last 6 months. I can totally see why Google got rid of everything, but the dialog box. Perhaps it was stupid to do …

    Right, because it totally worked with drugs. People just don't use them anymore. Weed is impossible to come by nowadays.

    Not saying you are wrong, but I'd like to see some evidence on that. Just because your heart is pumping faster doesn't mean your cardio fitness is getting better. Otherwise we coul…

    I think it will be more similar to the cloud. I remember people predicted that once you move to the cloud, you'll realize how expensive it actually is, but the cost of migration ba…

    There are even people who listen to music at home! They even buy expensive speakers just for this purpose =) I listen to music pretty much all the time except when I talk to other …

    I got insanely more productive with Claude Code since Opus 4.5. Perhaps it helps that I work in AI research and keep all my projects in small prototype repos. I imagine that all mo…

    I grew up in Siberia where it gets cold down to -40C (coincidentally it's also -40F). I don't recall power going out for more than a few seconds. 24h without power or heating sound…

    Retiring the most popular model for the relationship roleplay just one day before the Valentin's day is particularly ironic =) bravo, OpenAI!

    It reminds me that story about a teenage learning Rust that got a refusal because he had asked about "unsafe" code =)

    what about laws against porn? Oh, wait, no, that's a legitimate business.

    It's literally in their FAQ: https://www.getmonero.org/get-started/faq/ Anyone curious about how Monero is implemented would immediately understand why it's a bad idea to use remot…

    I really hate that the desktop app unlinks after a relatively short period of time. I rarely use Signal, so few of my friends are there, so I have to relink the desktop app almost …

    Which is pretty odd as WhatsApp allegedly uses the very same E2E encryption and has no problem implementing a web client. I really don't see the point of Electron if it doesn't all…

    You can't possibly have the same recommendation for all geographies. Florida and Scotland have somewhat different level of UVB especially throughout the winter, come on.

    Perhaps they just don't care enough? I got unsupervised internet access when I was 10 and I don't see what's wrong with that. Similarly, video games didn't make me a psycho.
