    I feel like this story just supports the claim that coding isn’t the hard part. Collecting those requirements is harder.

    Supposedly, yes, but other studies have shown that teflon pans continue to off gas after construction for a long time so it’s not just PTFE you have to worry about, but PFOA as wel…

    Wild to vibe code something in a week then charge $50/month for it. I understand servers cost money but lol there’s no way the costs are that high. Also insane the amount of code g…

    They have internal tracker blocking. Also, using brave and caring about privacy is rich.

    Yeah, it’s insane. Along with that, any permanent gains in the morning will be lost as soon as it becomes normal. Businesses will just open that much earlier. And this study assume…

    Huh? This is almost assuredly being used for botnets… that’s not a good thing.

    I know that, but in doing so you prevent yourself from ever using Sign in with Apple

    But that will completely break Sign in with Apple, which no service is ever going to do. I really don’t get the problem here.

    But it’s not? Like if they block that subdomain, they will completely block Sign in with Apple.

    Am I the only one that has noticed the massive increase in buggy software across almost every domain? Like, EVERYTHING has so many more bugs now. Things just break constantly. AI i…

    weirdly made up scenario. I'm the person in the very first sentence. Tab-completing lines is still dog-shit. The majority of the time it has no clue what I'm going to write. Just b…
