The English language is messy as hell, and yet, here we are using it because it's a shared set of rules and symbols that pretty much everyone who wants to join in on this conversation already knows. Same with staff notation: If you wan

It does seem a bit odd to say "We tested all of these bicycles with the same rider" when one of the test cases is actually a bare high-end frame with no components on it. It's even weirder given that another of the test cases

This feels kind of petty, but what is going on with those fuckass clouds in the background? Did no one notice how uncanny that whole thing looks?

Yeah, just the landing page. Can't speak for other people, but for me it's one of those "first impression" things where if your initial offering is clearly human-written, seeing AI-assisted docs or other materials later

The resource itself is cool, but I'm so tired of reading generated text. It's exhausting to look at something that's supposed to be giving me info and have to wade through the extra mental load of translating from LLM-ese bac

Yes: Premodern and Legacy. Personally I like Modern and don't mind having things shaken up fairly regularly, but if you want more stability play Legacy and if you want ultimate stability with no new cards ever, play Premodern.

GSD has a reputation for being a token burner compared to something like Superpowers. Has that changed lately? Always open to revisiting things as they improve.

Strudel is dope and a ton of fun, but every single piece of its interface seems determined to confuse people who already know music theory and composition. That's not really a point against it, it's a great tool and it's a to

I vividly remember the first time a friend showed me PHP in the late 90s. You're saying I can just write a script that generates HTML and throw it in /foo/index.php and that's the whole thing? It's wild that right u

Good old "sketch-resistant materials". If a tweaker can't get through your lock/chain before the cops (might) show up, you're probably fine. When all else fails, drummers are the best security anyway: https:/&

This kind of exploratory/creative programming is bar none the most fun you can have as a software engineer. I love reading write-ups about projects like this because you can practically feel the nerdy joy radiating off the screen.

Don't forget to implement the crucially important "no returnsies" security algo on top of it, or you'll be vulnerable to rubber-glue attacks.

Anyone got a recommendation for a replacement? I'm currently using Warp and the history/context-aware autocomplete-on-meth is nice, but I don't use any of the new agentic features.
