This is probably not the primary way people use the tool, but if I log in (desktop, Chrome on macOS), click "Start a board" on the sidebar, and go to click any of the inputs, I can't type text in them (the inputs are "St

Am I understanding this right by thinking - if I was walking toward the black hole past the event horizon, and then I turned around, I would still be walking toward the black hole?

Why were pharmacies viable before? Presumably they didn't lose money for their whole history.

The federal government could potentially oversee the most populous areas of the state and those near a military installation pretty easily. They don’t have to look at every one.

AI is great at reading, so give it things to read. Claude will try to throw big markdown docs in your repo, but you don't have to do that. Make it keep docs by the code. I include a line in AGENTS.md that says "We *always* add d

You have to make or use just enough productivity tools not to fall behind, but otherwise it's a trap. I used to check once a quarter. With AI, I devote 1-2 days a week to the meta-task of improving my tooling, but I'm sure that w

I first learned about endless scroll in a Ruby on Rails meetup, where the presenter was showing how to craft snippets of HTML with ERB and using a bit of JS to insert them below the existing entries. It's definitely possible. Maintain

True (I certainly don't!) but I chose it because I had to do some research a while back and that was close to the average for Americans. [1]: https://qz.com/average-car-payment-by-state#average-car-paym... [2]: https:

I think the problem with getting this done in the US is the lack of public transit and the dysfunction in public schools. If you could avoid a $700 car payment and still get to school/job/grocery store on time, a lot of Americans

A counterpoint is that a huge number of suburban Americans already have experience with a condo association through being in an HOA. Rural homeowners and people with single family homes in streetcar suburbs or cities don't, but most ne

Most people don't see that as viable because American cities don't have the public transit needed to make that viable, and equally important, don't have condos built that are the size of a family home. And there's a big

I can understand why this might make for a bad benchmark, but Overly strict tests enforce specific implementation details not specified in the prompt, invalidating many functionally correct submissions. Underspecified prompts omit requireme

You can be correct, but on different axis. You can be correct that your method makes code more DRY, and miss the point that the other person believes that things are going to diverge significantly over time and doesn’t value DRY. You can be

I would love to have a unicode character for representing the start/end of a data block so that LLMs could at least send data meant to be uncorrupted down a different path at tokenization.

Managers will document for employees. That’s maybe the better comparison.

Plague, Inc (an iOS game where you control the parameters of a pandemic and try to get a 100% infection rate) will give you a really good feel for the math behind this. The most successful strategy is to make a virus that spreads fast, with

Yeah this was me. I just got a message that I hit my limit and now I am looking into what it takes to run Qwen on local hardware.

I don't think this was the British. (Not to apologize for them - they certainly made things worse, not better.) Sudan sits on a historical chattel slavery route that stretches back to Roman times. It's hallmarked by the Norther

Assuming that all homes are at equal risk of being burglarized. In practice the neighborhoods I’ve seen are either at much higher risk or much lower risk.

William Shatner has the most experimental, wild Spotify I've ever seen. If you haven't ever seen it, look at his discography. He does a lot of almost spoken-word poetry over soft rock, punk, etc. You get the sense that he views

And from the comments below, sounds like they might be aggressively crawling still, but unidentified or with a different crawler identity. So perhaps they are hoovering up everything in the AI era.

I remember back in the day, when SEO was a more viable channel, being surprised at how much of the game was convincing Google to crawl you at all. I naively assumed that they would be happy to take in any and all data, but they had a fairly

So half the population would benefit? Half the population is more than enough reason to do all that and more.

The tooling around static types is worlds better than any tooling around spec - it's not like working with a static typing system, unfortunately.

Every article like this I scan to see if the author had previous C++ experience. And every article, they do. I will be very impressed and curious if I find a glowing article about C++ from someone who didn’t grow up knowing it as a smaller

Thanks for adding this - I feel like people who can't understand why populism is at it's peak misunderstand this. Walmart is a U.S. company that historically did well, but I don't see why anyone would care unless you buy thei

I worked at a company that emulated Valve’s hyper-flat structure on their engineering team, with 1 manager having 50 direct reports. That’s as close to a management-less structure as I can think of, since your manager can’t attend meetings

Out of curiosity, the OP’s language is “quality issues”, not “quality issue.” Why did you assume there wasn’t already a pattern of behavior implied there?

> “I’ve noticed quality issues in your code recently that’s resulted in some rollbacks. Can we talk about how we can address that?” That’s the first step in fixing the quality issues, not an end state. Reports don’t know what they don’t
