I think these types of projects are really great for developers to exercise their end-to-end skills -- developing all pieces of the product. Kudos for launching it! As someone who's done this before, the value is all in that experience

Ha, thanks for letting me know! I hope it's not causing too many problems out there :-)

Interesting. Wayne Rosing (Silicon Valley pioneer and early engineering lead at Google) has been working on a global telescope project for a long time now also. https://lco.global/

I've found the most useful prompt tip is to add to the end of every prompt: "Ask questions for clarification as needed." Claude will then present a list of questions I answer, either directly, or sometimes those prompt more t

I dabbled in Hack and HHVM several (almost 10 now??) years ago but haven't kept up. My understanding was that PHP8+ now includes the improvements that Hack brought, making the leap to Hack less interesting/valuable. Is that not th

Which raises the question: If the productivity gains are realized by the employer, is the employer not paying this subscription?

I used to work in the telescope world. Our organization acquired another organization that was working on NGAT: Next Generation Astronomical Telescope. At the time, we were also working on newer telescope models, and I joked about what we w

I wish Google could have decided to stick with their “Don’t be evil.” ethos. Instead, I find myself continually extracting their products from my life.

I was confused for a minute, thinking the announcement was that VSCode was going away!

You don't put your Peloton in your living room like some peasant if you're buying a $1000 car seat.

Most likely because you can't guarantee how it has been used once the first customer has used it. And that will lead to major legal problems if e.g. it has been in a crash and is now compromised, but nobody noticed, then failed to prot

But haven’t we been there for years…and nothing is changing? Or at least not in the direction you’re suggesting. Seems obvious to me as well: we tried normalizing gun culture and this is what we got. Maybe we should try something else?

I highly doubt that.

Yes, curious about this too. Maybe a quick video handling it to show the weight/quality. Really cool idea for a product though, love it!

This shows how much I don’t use Twitter, but I was curious to verify this and learned I need to sign in (or in my case create an account) to search…is that true?

Right, I don't understand who buys into the Google/Pixel ecosystem now knowing it will be unsupported in a few years.

Is this really considered "first generation" Pixel tablet? Google is so good at killing off products that nobody remembers the previous attempts at tablets?

Texas sure seems to be an outlier though.

I think the main demographic supporting the current price is people who bought it as a speculative investment.

Looks like you have a clear agenda, but your point is real. I hadn't thought much about it until recently. I posted something in a popular (and generally extremely positive) subreddit that was (unbeknownst to me) both divisive and post

I've noticed this as well. Especially going through layoffs. It's not "people" getting "fired," it's "resources impacted." Oh, it's also not a "layoff," it's a "reduction
