I have to agree here, but I'm not sure why. I don't have any clue what makes something sound AI generated or not. I got to about here "Go is clearly working for a lot of people," -- before I became suspicious that it was

I had an itch to give Perl another go after a 5 year hiatus. I wanted a super simple way to spawn a proxy I was building in Go, along with writing various integration tests. I used Claude Code to write the bulk of it and found Claude to be

At previous companies, I was more than happy to use corporate money to pay for software I believed in. Tools like Hashicorp Vault were certainly worth paying for the Enterprise tier. What stopped me was climbing over huge bureaucratic hurdl

Apple Card can also sometimes offer 3% like at Walgreens and you can also get 6 months of free Uber One. Another benefit of the Fidelity card is they reimburse your Global Entry or TSA pre check. It’s not a bad idea to have both cards becau

My naive opinion is a commitment to not break the ABI is a good thing not just for everyone else but for C++ as well. Languages like C#, Swift and Python (maybe even Rust?) have tools to integrate with C++ fairly deeply and cleanly. If C++

Squares are not Rectangles anymore! In order for my new and improved Rectangle to talk to another really cool Rectangle, I have to resize one of my edges to fit nicely on the Square and the 2nd Rectangle must do the same. The Square is a st

Where I work we use Confluent Cloud who has their own proprietary UI. I've always found it to be lacking, hard to use and not very good. We substituted it with AKHQ https://akhq.io/ , which is miles ahead of anything I

To be fair, Seattle's electric grid has been on all sustainable energy for a while now. Seattle is one of the greenest city in the U.S. On top of that, any person living in King County is able to pay a little bit extra to opt into 100%

My understanding, from whatever nature TV show when I was younger, is that the beetles don't actually die. They literally freeze in ice. I also remember reading that certain countries are releasing tens of thousands of birds (possibly

I just went on a long trip and going on a couple more in a few months. The Tesla navigation will autopilot you to the charging stations making it a something you don’t even need to think about. Most of the chargers are near food or shopping

I kindly disagree with your critique. BUT I am also very biased. This is because I am an owner of a Model Y, but I do not own any stock in Tesla whatsoever. I do not like nor trust Elon Musk, especially with my retirement. I think people wa

Ditto. To add to this, Pulumi has a few features not yet present in CDK like encrypted state, and dynamic resources. The TLS/Random provider also seems to be missing from CDK but present in Pulumi. I am using all of these features in s

Great questions that must be asked, but it sounds like having huge amounts of excess carbon in the oceans might have a much greater impact than stealing a percentage of wave energy. I do wonder if there is a percentage we can take without s

From what I read they weren't setup to host multiple apps and needed a somewhat large refactor to do that. The calendar on beta.protonmail.com is probably what will be released to production. The only thing to smooth over, from my unde

It’s different for everyone and there’s multiple methods to meditation. To naively summarize, it’s kind of like counting sheep but instead of sheep you’re counting breaths. You take the time to notice things that you don’t normally notice.

I guess I'm confused. I clicked the link and read through it really quick. I didn't really have a lot of strong opinions. This seems to be a response to how powerful China is becoming and that's scary for many reasons. This a

Many schools have programs to drop your kids off early. The same program is there to keep kids late. If kids are getting out of school at 2:00 pm then the kids are either home alone or taking a bus one way or the other. In my opinion, this

My mother works for a school district in California. There was an open hearing around moving the starting school time from 8:00 am to 7:00 am. There's been countless research showing that this is generally bad for children to wake up t

Unless I'm mistaken. I don't think the 'world has moved on'. As an example, I believe Eclipse Che (a relatively new project with a decent UI) uses GWT mixed with a little bit of Typescript. https://github.com&
