Some people like me are running a company and are still picking out their tech stack. I don't like Microsoft, and that absolutely affects how likely I am to use their services. My situation might not be that common but PR surely still

Hey, so it's a bit obvious you vibe coded this, which makes me not want to trust it. Some red flags: - The Apple icon is a literal apple and not the Apple logo. - You've got 2 Mac download buttons that do the same thing right at t

Come on, don't be mean. Imagine saying this in person to someone who just told you they got scammed. "You're just extremely gullible" is just so mean...show some empathy.

I'm pretty sure the comment wasn't a joke? I saw the stream last week, it was very impressive use of AI, I didn't realize it was AI until he started talking about doubling crypto. What about the bio is satirical? I'm pre

> But with coding models they ignore context of the codebase and the results feel more like patchwork. Have you tried Cursor? It has a great feature that grabs context from the codebase, I use it all the time.

Honestly that was one of my first thoughts when I saw this, someone is going to draw one of those. People love trying to be offensive in something that barely allows communication. I remember seeing some MMORPG that had no chat where player

It might be worth considering just changing the rules for the pawn to deal with this. It's hard to tell what it means to move "forward" on a board like this, even after understanding the indicators. Maybe pawns could just mov

I remember learning that you get about 100ms for a basic UI interaction before a user perceives it as slow. And you get about 1s for a "full page navigation", even if it's a SPA, users are a bit more understanding if you&#x27

If you're using Flutter, you can start with just the web app. Flutter for Web is definitely not as good as Flutter for iOS/Android, but it's decent, and the web itself is far easier platform to publish on. Then, if people lik

This one is quite bad though, and generally articles with clickbait titles aren't worth reading imo, since there's likely less sensationalized article on the topic somewhere else.

You need time zones to tell what's "early" or "late" in a place. If you're planning to call someone far away, picking a time "during work hours" becomes very difficult without time zones. You would ha

Who said it was the new bubonic plague? Even the most pessimistic people didn't claim it had that high of a mortality rate. No one is asking you to "comply" with anything, this is just an article about a study.

EEE is about extending open standards in a way that extinguishes the competition, since they can't keep up. Amazon buying a competitor and shutting it down might be monopolistic, but it's not EEE.

Interestingly that Yahtzee version was rigged in the player's favor since they're more likely to get X-of-a-kind if the same numbers appear more often. Average scores probably dropped a decent bit after that fix.
