In case the US takes over Canada, I guess. After all, we've already taken over Lake America.

I like mine ok. It's lightweight and gets the job done well enough. Are there vacuums out there nowadays that aren't cheap plastic construction?

Principles are by definition aspirational. The idea, I'd say, is to always have them in mind and get as close to them as possible.

Unfortunately if you don't start out building the application from these principles, the tech debt piles up, and then it's hard to recover.

I guess it depends on your definition of "behavior?" For example if the config is the endpoint address of an external resource, it's not really changing the application behavior per se.

There's something so ... bland about this typeface. I get no feeling from it whatsoever. It's like the textual embodiment of the AI conversational style.

Yeah clearly there are alternatives, and plenty of musicians are able to find them. If you're already an addict though, there's not much stopping you from continuing that lifestyle, other than the ability to secure the next fix.

Re the drug addictions - another thing to note about touring musicians is that there's a lot of downtime. New cities every day, not much to do until your show in the evening. Pretty easy to slip into unhealthy habits.

I see three-year-olds wearing Nirvana shirts all the time. I don't bother asking them if they prefer Bleach or Incesticide. Also a GenX'r FWIW.

You could even argue we've been there since Ronald Reagan, who was a movie actor before his political career.

Those people are not artists though, they're athletes. I think with the word "culture" the author is mainly referring to forms of art such as movies, music, tv, and literature.

There is a cable show "The Food that Built America" where they do discuss the candy bar battles of the early 20th century, and specifically the Mars family drama. It's not to the production level of an HBO show, but pretty en

The 280 freeway on the Peninsula in the Bay Area has banned billboards, and it is quite a pleasant drive.

Sure, but the author takes it much further than that. She wants to have the AI write into her brain as well as read from it.

People are using the UX systems though, just that it's the agent that is gluing them together now. Under the hood, it's still React plus component libraries like shadcn, lucide, tailwind, axios and so on. The agents are so good at

We used to do this as an interview question at my current job. We didn't expect people to solve it necessarily, and we just specified to solve for a single elevator car. We just wanted to see how people would break down the problem. Ev

I was confused by that too, but then I thought maybe the new replacement was commenting that using javascript in the app would provide more work for contractors, which he perceives as a good thing. So not using javascript provides less work

For me, the central entity of "social media" is a person or personality. The central entity of forums, such as HN or Reddit, is topics. Sometimes there is crossover between the two types of entities, and of course there are except

Remember when Fox was sued by the voting machine company for libel (or slander, can't remember which), after Fox supported and broadcast claims that the machines were rigged against Trump in 2020, and Fox argued that nobody should take

It's wild to me that at 83 years of age, he still wants to do gigs like this. Pretty sure he doesn't need the money.

My 11 year old son plays Fortnite almost daily. He plays other games too but Fortnite is what he plays with his friends online.

In our current system, the only defenses against corruption: - Standards and norms, which obviously the current administration doesn't give a rat's ass about - Failing that, Congress has to step in and impeach and convict. This wo

I quite literally couldn't stay awake for Andor. Five minutes into each episode I was out cold. Saying it's a "slow burn" is quite the understatement.

For the Fox News crowd, which is most of his supporters, they are likely not even aware of these transgressions, as they are not reported there. Or, if they are aware, they are happy to see Trump enriching himself, because, own the libs or

It's the job of the Congress to hold the executive branch accountable, with the ultimate endpoint being impeachment and removal if necessary. Unfortunately, the Senate republicans are completely sold out to the cult of Trump so there w

I haven't checked on this in a long time, but IIRC, the insurance company will always blame the person in back in a rear-end collision, for just this reason. A rear-end collision should always be avoidable.

AI doesn't "want to" control air traffic. It doesn't have any desire or ambition. That's what the humans are for. It is merely a tool like a hammer. The hammer doesn't build the house, it is the human who wield

We've noticed this in our neighborhood. Once a year we host a few families before going out trick or treating with our kids. We buy a bunch of pizza so everyone can eat and don't ask for the other families to kick in. We were hopi
