Reads more like a dunk than a critique. When the interspersed commentary has to lift that hard for the criticism to land, it’s worth asking whether the Dawkins quotes actually supp…

Counterpoint: Zed wins me over because the LLM calls don't feel like magic - I maintain control over API calls unlike Cursor, which seems to have a mind of its own and depletes my …

Emacs in its final form? Sadly, for those of us not versed in Elisp, such power remains a pipe dream.

Great tool! It uncovered a surprising amount of unnecessary exports in our codebase. Really streamlines things. One interesting observation: when using it with our Next.js project,…

This solves a huge problem for me, and is easily worth three times the amount I paid for it. Thank you!

So I really enjoy the spatial paradigm with Muse. It feels like a digital whiteboard - I can paste images, resize them, throw them around, and ink over them, which makes it great f…

ADHDer here. WFH was a nightmare the first six months, but the past few months have been working out great. My findings from this past year: * Finding the right medication, in the …

I picked up writing music a few years ago - something I had been longing to do since my early teens, but avoided because I hated the feeling of having no idea what I was doing. I’v…

Consider trying elvanse / vyvanse. While concerta did help in some sense, I had the same side effects as you. In my experience, Elvanse feels more like it "cures" my ADHD while ret…

Since 10.15.4, my 16" started having kernel panics while waking up from sleep. Disabling Power Nap seems to mitigate this. While this is an awful stopgap solution, at least I can g…

Safari hasn't been supported for Windows since 2012.

I pull out my phone and use Beorg, which syncs with my Dropbox. The next time I'm at my computer, the notes are right there in Emacs.

I'm curious in what way static languages are "designed for developers who aren't good at coming up with abstractions", are "more work" and "slow down progress". Those are quite str…

Further down in the article: In our original demo, we ran a V100 GPU against 8 CPU nodes. The new T4 GPUs cut our cost in half, which meant we reduced the Apache Spark cluster to 4…

Consider getting screened for ADHD by a professional. While it's impossible to build a case from one anecdote, some aspects of your story are all warning bells – the hyperfocus on …

As a Swede, it is interesting to see people using Sweden's tax policies for arguments without fully following the studies on our tax policies. There are studies showing that the hi…

China is actually doing something similar right now, albeit in a different way: https://nordic.businessinsider.com/china-swedens-bizarre-feu... Chinese tourists visiting a Swedish …

While this was definitely true five years ago, I'm happily writing C# on a Mac with Rider today, having a great experience. Except for when looking up old documentation mostly rela…

The behaviour you have for Windows is available for Mac with Karabiner-Elements. It's tremendously helpful.

> Are you saying pills will fix that? No, that's not what the parent is saying. It's completely possible to be a neurotypical person and "getting into the wrong mentality", as you …

To be fair, here is a direct quote from the parent: »In the end, it's absolutely the case that a movement to microservices is something that should be evolutionary, and in direct n…
