The CEO of the company in question with the age limit, for one

Sounds like it might have been added later but it's in the credits now >The idea for parallel paths and the illustration style developed independently, but the team did take inspir…

Similar in my team and I don't feel like there's much context switching. With around 8 engineers there's usually at least one person not in the middle of something who can spare a …

I tried Claude on a project where I'd got stuck trying to use some MacOS media APIs in a Rust app. It just went in circles between something that wouldn't compile, and a "solution"…

OED records the first usage as a mass noun in 1702, I think the ship's already sailed there

The worst is when you have lines in a similar pattern across your formatter's line length boundary and you end up with setup_spi(&adc, mode=SPI_01, rate=15, cs_control=CS_MUXED, cs…

There's some difference but a lot of overlap in the basic functionality - Firefox is compatible with all the chrome.* API calls I use in my own extension

You can still buy music from iTunes, not sure what formats you can download but AFAIK it's DRM-free these days

The "relaxing piano for studying" type playlists get a huge amount of streams, and they're among the easiest to fill with AI slop
