Claude will refuse to visit sites with robots.txt, make a graphic spoof of an iOS game, or even fill out an employee survey on my behalf. ChatGPT is always happy to oblige, no questions asked. I can respect the guardrails - I also can see w

Bedrock is having issues too, though. Hope your prompts are tested with other models, not just Claude!

I was surprised to find that Barnes n Nobles has a decent selection of quality toys for infants to toddlers. Toys have their own section at my store. I used to buy toy/book gifts at Target but the options are so much more limited.

Yea this! How many devs say "it doesn't do what i expect" did not try to write up a plan of action before it just YOLO'd some new features? We have to learn to use this new tool, but how to do that is still changing all

There's a huge caveat i don't see often, which is that it depends on your language for programming. IE. AI is reallllly good at writing Next.js/Typescript apps, but not so much Ruby on Rails. YMMV

Everyone posting should be considerate of your language/stack. It's pretty likely that Cursor doesn't work equally for every language. I'm working on a Next.js/Typescript/Solidity monorepo with multiple apps an

And Typescript simply doesn't work for me. I have tried uninstalling extensions. It is always "Initializing". I reload windows, etc. It eventually might get there, I can't tell what's going on. At the moment, AI is

I like to look for reviews that discuss specific menu items, good or bad. Everything else is not really helpful

Have you tried using Cursor with Claude embedded? I can't go back to anything else, it's very nice having the AI embedded in the IDE and it just knows all the files i am working with. Cursor can use GPT-4o too if you want

You have to start somewhere. There's now 13 states that require pay transparency, and more that are considering it. https://www.govdocs.com/pay-transparency-laws/

email is such an annoying standard for storage. i think i'd prefer a simple local SQLLite db with flat HTML files. You could use Next.js and output as 'standalone' if you wanna use React to generate the HTML

What are you talking about WRT Koa? Express 4 does not support async/await natively in its middleware. That means if your async method throws an error, you need to catch it and return it yourself or else it will just crash the app. Tha

we actually used an .ai domain and one night, round 11pm it stopped pointing to us. To add a record, the registrar at AI literally had a spreadsheet which upserts all the records when they upload it, and someone fat-fingered the row with ou

it was always mac for laptops, pc for desktop for me. I guess there's something to be said when the vendor owns all the parts, including the OS.

actually I'm pretty sure that all our social security numbers leaked in full since the Experian/TransUnion hacks. I have kept my scores frozen ever since then. It's a minor annoyance but I don't know why this isn't

As a full-time Node.js dev, I agree with your decision! Too much time is wasted on compatibility problems. I'd almost say it was easier when we just had browsers to deal with. At least you could just drop in jQuery and call it a day.

It's not "unbundling" they literally just added new costs for features that were originally free because they can get away with it. So far, I have also found you are now REQUIRED to pay for your seats if you want to sit toget

The Next team's core use case is a serverless framework for Vercel. Anyone looking to use it as a long-running server is just a second-class citizen.

I went from 3a to a pixel 5 on backmarket, it's a great upgrade and doesn't really sacrifice anything. I am still waiting now for a new pixel, but even the 7/8 don't look interesting enough.

I mean, the Chinese language has 106,230 characters [1]. This is not a new issue. And it actually sounds fun, at least they are drawings and not just various organizations of black lines [1] https://chinainternshipplacements.com&

Neat! People complaining about 'gamifying github' seem to be greatly over-estimating the author's goal here. Also neat to learn about the free dataset uploaded to https://ghe.clickhouse.tech/ .

There are checks and balances built in. For example, if you offer too much money, and the appraisal comes back and says it's not worth that much money, then your loan will not cover it and you will be on the hook to cover the differenc
