It's quite strange though when you consider the fastest way to get egg on your face is to do something badly because you didn't understand and just made it up instead of looking it up

I like LLM stuff sometimes. But it's too obnoxious, over-eager, loud and incorrect by default. I wish it were modal and I could have an entirely AI-free "normal" mode for when I know what I'm doing, and then enable all t

Sizes tend to be a lot smaller. One poster above said a large soda in the USA is almost one litre! In the UK it's roughly half that size at 500ml. As the sugar level is directly proportionate to the overall volume, it can be quite surp

I had a horrible time with Localstack. It's very similar to AWS but not exactly the same, so you hit all kinds of annoying edges and subtle bugs or differences and you're basically just doing multi-cloud at that point. The same ki

if the language or std lib already allows for chaining then pipes aren't as attractive. They're a much nicer alternative when the other answer is nested function calls. e.g. So this: take(sorted(filter(map(xs, x => x \* 2

why do you need one? I see a lot of "edc" stuff online where people seem to carry knives and tools with them everywhere they go. I've never found a need to do so and never been caught out in a situation where I would have ben

Same in the UK. The fact that iMessage only works for iOS devices means it's a complete non-starter. What's the point in using a messaging app if you can't add all your contacts to a group? And if you're using a differen
