Here's DHH directly addressing these claims of fascism / xenophobia / etc. Worth a listen. https://youtu.be/GYx4OBbswTw

How can I set such a sub agent up?

I grew up in southern NM, near White Sands, and the skies were so dark and vibrant that the Milky Way band is visible and prominent, and thousands of stars dot the night sky. My parent's first date was going stargazing in the desert!

I either mix it with a cup of cold water and gulp it down, or mix it in with a protein/greens shake.

Bandcamp is great. Albums are usually ~$10 for high-fidelity digital downloads, and ~$25 gets you a vinyl record + the digital download.

This reads to me as if he wasn't prepared for the interview and said the first open-ended design question he could think of.

The exterior of the car is silly, but I am really and truly blown away by the interior. It's really quite handsome and well-designed. Highly recommend giving this a skim: https://www.ferrari.com/en-EN/auto/fer

Some of these tripped me up as well. Oil & Gas are necessary for a country's survival. Good! The Oil & Gas Industry operate political lobbying and climate change disinformation campaigns. Bad :( So, which of the two should I co

I am not a sparkly special pretty princess. My friends are where they are. In the trade off between meeting people where they're at or doing something unique to me with friction to them, I know which one wins. (note - this is snarky an

I run NVIDIA on my Bazzite box and I get excellent performance. I had to fiddle with a few things though that probably work out of the box on AMD (example: screen tearing in Steam Big Picture mode. Fix: enabling developer mode in Steam an

Then swap! Partition and dual-boot into Bazzite. Or get an extra SSD and flash Bazzite there. It's an easy weekend side project, and any numbers people give you will be ballparks anyway - the performance of Linux drivers for YOUR speci

Are you one of those engineers building said crawlers, by any chance?

It would still be useful to share as an example and reference point. People can use Claude Code / etc. to re-write it to their specific situation.

Former Crossfitter. HIIT routines are prominent in CrossFit but it is more than just that. CrossFit is functional fitness, meaning the goal is to build a broad foundation of athleticism - strength, speed, agility, endurance. So, while HIIT

I find it so bitterly ironic that the people whose opinions we read the most of - the terminally online Redditors and tweeters - are exactly the kind of people we should not be listening to. Like you alluded to, the terminally online peop

Materially, it's not. Which is what I'm arguing.

Sure, for small projects. Otherwise, you'd better have a solid plan in place for keeping your business logic in a common core, otherwise you'll just be writing N separate implementations where N = number of target platforms. Even

That's really not a solution. You're not targeting the host OS for that, which instantly kills that approach for everything other than "we need this to run on Linux and don't care how." You're shipping all of W

I mean, I guess there's that novelty for the first few years of your career. I've been doing this a decade. I don't care about looking and feeling like a l33t h4xx0r and I doubt my peers do either. TUIs just solve the right p

That still doesn't address the root of the problem, which is that TUIs and Electron apps are write-once, run-anywhere, while native GUI dev is insanely fragmented. I mean, I guess that's more or less just a summary of the blog pos

It's useful as metadata (like how JPEGs can store the camera model it was taken on, or PDFs contain the program used to generate it), but yes, I don't like LLMs giving themselves co-author credit. I turn this off in Claude Code.

I use https://www.example.com . I used to use Oprah.com; for some reason, that made me laugh.

Can I have a way to exclude all AI-generated music from my recommended songs as well? Doesn't this only verify against content farms, not AI in general (i.e. I can get verified after making all the AI slop I want, as long as my human n

Can you say more about the transitional period (the why and how)? I agree completely we are going through one.

I love diners. The late nights of undergrad was spent in diner booths, with textbooks and laptops splayed, and cups of coffee that never ran dry. New Mexico has lots of great dinners scattered all around the state. I'm in Massachusetts

I've seen the latter but I'm not sure I get the relevancy.

That is extremely bleak. The story of the human race is a series of good and bad cycles. Right now we are in a bad cycle. It will end. Maybe in 10 years, maybe in 20 years, maybe in 80. But it will. And we need your children & others to

The only way out is through. This transition sucks but (1) is necessary (and INEVITABLE) to become an advanced civilization, and (2) the cat is out of the bag, it is not going back in, and burying one's head in the sand is no solution

Educate me. Isn't that what food stamps / SNAP is exactly intended to prevent? On top of the many soup kitchens and church/charity food drives.
