Anecdotical evidence is not just useless, it's deceiving. I only know one person who voted for Brexit, and it's a low-40s Scottish lawyer who lives in South West London (the posh p…

Are you saying that 52% of British people are retired?

It's surviving *for now*. This pace isn't sustainable, they know it, but they need to pretend until the IPO. That's when they'll start worrying about quality. The pace of feature c…

Remember Facebook's original motto: Go fast and break things. That's where the speed is coming from. Anthropic's speed of development is about 20% AI and 80% technical debt. We all…

"We treated code as permanent because the labor to produce it was the bottleneck." I don't think that's true. We treated code as permanent because we considered code to be the sour…

Am I the only one who thinks this is just another carefully orchestrated publicity stunt? like all the noise they made about Mythos that turned out to be a big nothingburger? The A…

People who think that "software engineering" and "writing code" are the same thing will indeed be out of a job. People who understand the difference will continue to thrive. Thinki…

To be fair, considering that there are minerals in the Moon that don't exist on Earth, it's normal that the human body experiments an allergic reaction to a set of substances that …

Isn't this going to break a lot of React Router navigation? Are they going to manually check every website to see if their manipulation of the history is legit or spammy?

I'll probably get a lot of hate mail for this but here goes nothing... Despite what many people like to claim, you cannot prove that a program has no bugs. That means proving the a…

Is this the digital version of Supersize Me?

I must confess this is an odd decision. It's true that the drop in engagement is abismal (97% reduction is ouch). However, given that they're still posting in other sites, what's t…

YES! I get the point of mobility and all that but I wish someone would give a ticket to some of those a-holes. Honestly, town halls have been looking the other way for far too long…

Thank you, I'm a cyclist too and I always try to respect pedestrians' space, and it really pisses me off when people don't. In many cities cycling on pavement is not allowed, yet s…

I like the mindset, it reminds me of "Your code as a crime scene" by Adam Tornhill: https://www.adamtornhill.com/articles/crimescene/codeascrime... Also, very tangentially, to the …

I don't think this has anything to do with dogfooding. As the author says, dogfooding is about consuming your own product. You can consume Claude Code and still be a reasonable eng…

"I never saw most of the offending ads because of my adblocker" interesting that someone looking to make some (modest) money with AdSense is blocking ads...

yeah, that too, good point.

This is unnecessarily incendiary, didn't get passed the first paragraph because this is so misleading: > Oracle [...] has filed thousands of petitions for H-1B visas in the past tw…

maybe they've changed the page since you checked but there are two requirements, the second one being: - You’ve enabled extra usage If you haven't, then you don't get the credit.

IANAL but mens rea is a serious consideration here. A prosecutor would have to prove that you have knowingly and wilfully committed the crime in order to be convicted, so unmarked …

I don't know how you connected one thing over the other... that's a leap pretty in line with your username :)

Well, I'm happy about NASA's idea for private space stations. Maybe I'm not happy with the timing, but I definitely think that this is the future. If you make space stations a vali…
