Sorry I can't resist the pedantry but a traffic engineer knows better than anyone that adding a 5th lane (often even a 4th) won't improve traffic except in fairly specific circumstances. :D

AFAIK there's actually only one color and you can wrap it. The wrap kits are supposed to be DIY friendly so you can change it yourself when you want a new color.

Just last week I vibed an .eml viewer that uses WebView2 and can confirm that it's very quick when not encrusted with garbage. https://github.com/efsavage/WinEML Also a daily Fastmail user and it's as fast as

If the housekeeper gets to live in a $5m penthouse downtown instead of a walkup with a 60+ minute commute, I'd file this as an unintended win for this policy.

The tax is based on residency, not ownership. If nobody lives there as their primary residence, it's subject to the tax.

A 70% take would have blown the minds of developers pre-Steam. Retailers took 40% and were ruthless about shelf space and inventory. Distributors took 20%. Plus you had to actually make a box/CD/etc. They were lucky to keep 3

bassbuzz.com isn't free but it's really good. I've about halfway through the course and feel like I've already gotten more my money's worth out of it.

I don't think so, to put some made-up-but-illustrative numbers, I think AI is going to be worse than the 1% of people who do X professionally or at a high level, and better than the 99% who don't. Can Suno make a better song than

I'd argue that they're above average for the population, and below average for experts. Can they draw as well as an expert/professional illustrator? Probably not. Can they draw better than almost anyone who isn't a ex

Great QA people are rarer than great developers, and potentially even more valuable.

> “good enough” for 95% of use cases Maybe, for current use cases. I'd argue that anyone who thinks they can do everything a 10kW server can do on their 10W device just isn't being creative enough :)

Yegge's list resonated a little more closely with my progression to a clumsy L8. I think eventually 4-8 will be collapsed behind a more capable layer that can handle this stuff on its own, maybe I tinker with MCP settings and granular

Those are all great things to do, but I don't think OP needs to do more things, they need to do different things. The biggest thing that jumped out was that they know they need to be with people but work remote and with a huge tim

I think there should be an option to assume I'm a child and proceed from there. If I want access to any mature content or real identify related stuff, I'll verify, but if your service doesn't have or need that anyways then t

Interesting, I grew up in an area with good reception, so the pitch was definitely fewer commercials on the cable channels (HBO, Nickelodeon, MTV), I remember standing in the living room as the salesman said this. It was true for a while,

In the earliest days of getting people to pay for cable TV when OTA was free, the pitch was that you'd see fewer/no commercials. That didn't last long...

I think you're definitely right, for the moment. I've been forcing myself to use/learn the tools almost exclusively for the past 3-4 months and I was definitely not seeing any big wins early on, but improvement (of my skills

It was "writing 90% of the code", which seems to be pretty accurate, if not conservative, for those keeping up with the latest tools.

The water argument rings a bit hollow for me not due to whataboutism but more that there's an assumption that I know what "using" water means, which I am not sure I do. I suspect many people have even less of an idea than I

I've always used 2-3 monitors pretty comfortably but with high latency AI agents adding more concurrency to my workflows I'm feeling very crowded. I would love a VR experience with an arbitrary number of screens/windows as w

You probably have to really try to take too much Vitamin D with any over the counter supplement (<=5,000 IU), especially if you live that far north. For reference, a prescription dose for someone who is low is usually 50,000 daily. It s

I am also the slow-thinking dev married to a quick thinker, and it's a good pairing. I know couples where they're both quick thinkers and things are so mercurial it's hard to believe they're still together, but maybe th
