    Have you tried a coding agent such as claude code or codex?

    speaking strictly from an energy standpoint (power grid, megatons of warheads, etc).. it's probably close to that number.

    I believe this is doable through iOS shortcuts or accessibility - a gesture can be programmed to simulate a tap on a part of the screen.

    So the biggest thing is the laptop keyboard layout isn't great, and not every input field is tabbable? And that prevents powers users from even trying to migrate?

    Largely speaking across technological trends of the past 200 years, progress is nowhere near flat. 4 generations ago, the idea of talking with a person on the other side of the cou…

    I find it very fun to follow along daily using the site, We're only at year 2 of his diary on this trip around so it's a great time to join. People comment on every entry and there…

    I would recommend Samuel Pepys' diary as well, a figure involved in England's Navy in the 1600s. He wrote a diary entry every day with a lot of candor, and there's a site I've been…

    It was well-known during that period that French shipwrights could built better ships - the problem was that the Royal Navy had better seamanship and would win most naval actions, …

    I'm not sure I understand your point, are you trying to tell this person to not broaden their horizons when it comes to reading? To not read older novels?

    We really are pretty lucky that the industrial revolution happened. Thank god for England running out of trees to heat homes with, and abundant surface coal on that island.

    So that reason is exactly why the person you're replying to said what they said. The OOP said: "If you don't know what you're doing stick to index funds, buy and hold." which is cl…

    Tab notation doesn't provide full time signature information, if you're picking up a piece of music which you've never heard played before In tablature, imagine one string's line s…

    Cigarettes aren't technology so they aren't applicable here, and do you think you would classify cars as "being put back in the bag"

    I sympathize but there has not been a single time in history in which people anti-new technology have ever halted progress or stopped it - once the cat is out of the bag, all you c…

    Why would they not be loud about it? I think "We've built out 5G so we can get rid of your data caps!" is a message any telecom would want to broadcast out, unless I'm missing some…

    I get your point, but do you think, over the course of a decade, the average human driver or the average car with tesla FSD is more likely to have an accident where the the fault i…

    I don't think it was Silence of The Lambs specifically - it was the experience this author had of watching that movie at 14 years old. Do you have a movie you watched at a young ag…

    This one made me laugh, mostly because the variable names are so dumb // our RNG is basically shit -- horribly nonrandom at the start of the sequence. // get a few values at random…

    You can rely on it for anything that you can validate quickly. And it turns out, there are a lot of problems which are trivial to validate the solution to, but difficult to build t…

    These clearly aren't comparable to the support of browsers. I know this metric isn't really an important signal, but they both have under 500 stars. If I'm a business evaluating wh…
