As they said during Louis the 14th's reign: "Si veut le roi, si veut la loi.", which translates to the law wants what the king wants.

Or just use LibreWolf. I've been using it for quite a while now and it has been great.

So you're basically a machine that spends their time working and taking care of your children? This feels like a one-way ticket to a burnout.

Love the article. One question; how do you unwind? I think it's achievable to spend enough time on both your career and your children, but consequently personal time will suffer. How do you balance that?

I used to love the tradition of lighting fireworks but I think the way people have been using them has changed in the last decade. Everything seems to transform into a war zone and some people do incredibly dangerous things.

I have the feeling many more people feel similar. I loved the intentionality of sitting behind your computer with purpose back then. There was always something you’d want to do and when that was done you’d search for the next thing to do.

I’ve had the same experience getting into MTGA recently. If you don’t play the meta its very unlikely you’ll win the higher ranked you become. But this must be the case for all competitive games right? At some point the meta has been figure

Same issue here. I want to migrate away, but rarely use email and I have it setup everywhere which would take quite some effort to pull off.

I recognize this too. There must be a correlation between the parents' level of education and the screen time the children have. Would be an interesting study.

Agreed. I don't get how this article has almost 400 points.. There must be bots upvoting this slop..

"Claude Code as a Daily Driver", which was also used to generate this article.. Also, how is "Explore, then plan, then code" considered "beyond the basics"?

I have heaps of experience with Stencil and it works great until a certain size indeed. It is a great way to ship web components quickly. Coding agents will allow us to write plain JS way more quickly but it still takes a bit more time by h

Right, so it's for accountability instead. Have you considered generating stories or tasks from the notes in that case? Still I think it's better to discuss "action points" in that case and give a clear owner to those po

>Informal tone and mistakes actually signal that the message was written by a human and the imperfections increase my trust in the effort spent on the thing. Isn’t this a bit short sighted? So if someone has a wide vocabulary and uses pr

Nice read! The main benefit for me is the reduced search times for anything I need to look up online. Especially for code you can find relevant information ware more quickly. One improvement for your writing style: it was clear to me that y

Basically the same as every MMORPG that is still around today which are now just single player games. For me LinkedIn is the worst offender of all social media. Users on there generate their slop posts and go so far as to share their slop-g

This was an amazing read! The entire thought of being so versatile as the article mentions is similar to the book Homo Deus by Harari. In my opinion we always needed to be versatile to stand any chance of being comfortable in these insanely

Genuine question, doesn't this apply to coding style than actual results? Same applies to writing style. LLMs manage to write great stories but they don't suit my writing style. When generating code it doesn't always suit my

I got a pro subscription yesterday. With it you get a certain amount of tokens and you have a certain limit every 5 hours and every week. Once the limit is reached, you can choose to pay-per-token, upgrade your plan, or just wait until it r

Interesting to compare the US to Denmark while they are so different with respect to their healthcare system. On another note, why are there quite a few articles posted on US healthcare? Genuine question. I deliberately skip many news websi

This was a great read, very refreshing. I like the idea of just starting a website and writing articles on it. It is interesting that my first thought when considering doing so is: "How will I get any traffic?", but that's b
