Implementation details aside (React??), that sounds exactly like “just a TUI”…

Same here. Even the small motors were expensive at the time. One winter my dad and I figured out how to make our own—rolled the casing out of packing tape, poured the end plug from (I think) Durham‘s rock-hard water putty, then filled with

I’ve tried. For it to be at all viable on my property, I’d need to cut down a bunch of trees. I’d rather keep the trees and pay someone else with solar panels.

That’s true, but still doesn’t always make heat pumps the most cost effective choice to operate. For example, last winter I paid an average of $0.24/kWh for electricity vs $0.05/kWh for natural gas. Even if a heat pump had a perfe

One point of annecdata to backup your figures: I traded my 2018 Accord (7.5 years old, 97k miles) this past weekend, was offered $11k and negotiated them up to $15k. So, trade ins are definitely worth more than nothing.

Python type hints are hugely valuable both as a means of correctness checking, but also just as a means of documentation. It strikes me as incredibly shortsighted to say you can forget about types just because it’s a dynamic language. The t

I’ve definitely had exactly that sort of looping work with Zed, as long as I tell it how to run the tests. Are you perhaps not using one of the “thinking” models?

All this is going to do is drive AI companies to mask their user agent to appear as a standard browser, resulting in a worse end state than we’re in now. It’s an exercise in futility.

Honestly the same is true for human devs. As frustrating as strict linting can be for newer devs, it’s way less frustrating than having all the same issues pointed out in code review. That’s interesting because I’ve been finding that all so

Luxury. My washer and dryer both display numbers the appear to be minutes remaining, but do not tick down with any discernible relation to time. They start around 55, then over the course of 90 minutes decrement down to 10 in random steps.

Of all the services AWS has, RDS is one of the best values and lowest risks. The peace of mind and reliability it gives you on something as important as a DB is well worth the cost.

I’d always hoped this is what HTML’s time tag would become. Unfortunately it does almost nothing.

If you’re trusting a party for identity verification of a party you’re communicating with, isn’t that implying trust with the correspondence itself? After all, they could just “verify” themselves as the other party of your correspondence. I

That sounds like a fire hazard. Human safety is still more important than preventing theft.

Even if we had a backup probe to launch right now, it would take 46 years for it to get to where voyager 1 is now. How is the cost of repairing voyager 1 greater than 46 years of lost data?

Neat, but this is basically a ripoff of this post from a few years ago (even to the point of not including the runtime implementation): https://www.hacklewayne.com/a-truly-strongly-typed-printf-in...

To a point, tests absolutely do shield you from issues. They build confidence in changes which can actually increase velocity, not decrease it.

Yes, I get that. My point is that you won’t accomplish that by holding the business hostage.

That’s a great way to convince the business to just ignore everything the security team says.

You save money on cooling for sure, but heating not so much. Each body in the office is a 6,000 btu furnace fueled mostly by individual salaries. :)

As a kid, my dad (a mechanical engineer) explained this to me in a really memorable way. He was planning a model bridge building contest for my friends and me, and I complained that he was making too many rules. Allowed building materials,

This was a one off first-gen product that was sold almost 9 years ago. How long do you expect them to keep maintaining it? At least no one is attempting to build infrastructure on top of an Apple Watch—that can’t be said about google’s serv

In a vacuum, maybe. But in any atmosphere, removing the thrust means negative acceleration due to drag. Thus the propellant could start to drift up/forward.

Wouldn’t building something from the lumber achieve the same result?

I don’t think that’s true for devtools. I use FF devtools ever day, and it frequently crashes. Even the view source page has horrible performance issues when using cmd+f.

But also when Chrome first came out, it was legitimately better than the competitors. FF at the time was horribly slow. Teams was never better than Slack.
