I got an Apple Watch just before the pandemic. In the winter I love to XC Ski, but it wasn't in there as an activity -- I guess not much snow in Cupertino. After a year or two of daily charging I went back to my trusty Garmin 935 that

Of course not, just like when you pay for Netflix or Prime Video there are no ads ... right? ... right?

Interesting that Sol (low) did better than Sol (medium) in your benchmark (and is barely more expensive than Terra). I too have been using 5.3 codex as a cheap-but-good model and are switching to Terra (xhigh).

It says "Weather: Partly cloudy, 72°F". Normally, I'd ask "where" (not here in New England!) ... but in this case, "when"? Is this the weather from 40 years ago also? (and if so ... I guess "where&

I think Customs is on to that -- that was how Saddam Hussein got the precision parts of his "supergun" out of Europe into Iraq, the parts were all labeled as oil industry related.

I think in 2-3 years, it'll be the same story except it'll be bigger/better/faster. As Heraclitus said "The only constant in life is change" (and maybe Emacs)

Presumably the founder(s) is/are getting a better deal by walking away in this case. If they've been through a few round of funding, they may have been diluted to the point when this sort of exit is better (for them).

Isn't there not some contractual agreement between the VCs and the founders? (I understand that a non-compete might not apply [in CA], but taking VC money is a little different that simply getting hired). Were I a Windsurf investor, I

Might even ameliorate some of the corporate RTO efforts and now s/w devs will have more employment choice and a presumably more vibrant job market.

Looks like prior years can be caught up with: > Companies with capitalized domestic R&D expenses from 2022–2024 can elect a catch-up deduction, which could significantly improve cash flow for firms engaged in innovation.

This is really incredible, the esp32 examples are really straightforward compared to the C versions of the same. The Erlang actor model makes this much easier! ... if they can nail the OTA updates and hot-loading of code!

The problem is that move-out happens in May, but move-in happens in late Aug/early Sept. So there's lots of useful stuff being discarded in May (beds, desks, bookcases, in-window A/C units etc) that would likely be in demand
