Over 40 myself and switched to high school teaching this year. I feel like tech in general has been degrading for a while but 2025 AI really just wiped it out imo.

I don't think it's in the same ballpark at all. I checked the `/usage` in my session which uses a Max x5 plan. One day I had used $400 of tokens and 20% of my Fable allocation. Anthropic is effectively giving us more tokens p

I lived on 10th street and 4th avenue for a few years and I used to walk past this house frequently. I love it, and I love Brooklyn and the entire feeling the city has. I miss it so much and this article has really taken me back there.

Me too. I can only connect to one of my DO servers. The rest are all unreachable.

I agree with this a lot, but I would add one thing. I don't think it's deliberate, I think they're just bad managers.

I agree, and they have no homepage or anything either. Unity was (is) a desktop environment alternative to Gnome. It used to be the default in 16.x but Gnome became the default in 18.x. Remix is (I think) an updated, forked version of Unity

It sounds like your contradicting yourself. You say placebos don't work and don't have an effect on anything, but in that example the kiss is the placebo. And then you say the kiss lowers their pain, which implies it does work.

Fixing the bugs is one thing, but identifying that user reported bugs are in fact bugs is an entirely separate issue. The latter takes a ton of time, requires no developers, and is what everyone above you in this thread is talking about.

Everything you said is conjecture. This is one of the most baseless and accusatory comments I've read here. It's so low effort and it's immediately transparent that you just don't like the guy.

Doesn't this entire issue corroborate the idea that this ISN'T just about a social media company trying to sell us shit? Two of the issues you mentioned, state run gulags and anthropogenic climate change, are issues really only so

Yea, it should be: <h2 class="larger"> or something. Using elements as class names is insane.

I've been wishing for this for years. I'd add "tactile keyboard".

Full screen, non-tactile keyboard is a non-starter IMO.

It's not hard, and I see 10-20 people per train car on the R going between Brooklyn and Manhattan. I've seen people standing and reading kindles in body-to-body crammed trains.

Exactly! It's maddening. You can start paying off your CO2 right now. This is a side project of mine: https://earthboost.org

Is RethinkDB even actively developed anymore? I saw they closed up not too long ago.

I don't think "tables are back" here, per se. Tables, like any HTML element, are to be used semantically, like for displaying tabular data. They bring a lot of extra, unneeded markup and they're not a good layout mechani

That's what the firewall is for. I set up iptables rules on all machines that only allow fixed IPs on the local network access to specific ports. If you're running it over the public 'net, then I think Mongo and Redis allow f

Nothing will happen. "Users" don't even know what the majority of these things are, and this concern certainly doesn't even fly on their radar. I've spent 5 years now on this very topic and my conclusion is that the

This just does not seem feasible. I think a better use of time and energy would be spent at the Citizen's Climate Lobby: http://citizensclimatelobby.org/carbon-fee-and-dividend/

This has never made sense to me. Why people think terra-forming Mars and moving 10Bn people there would be a better decision than just cleaning up the current planet we have? The amount of effort to rebuild our forests would be a blip next

You went from stating the article is wrong, to saying that only smaller companies can take advantage of tax credits, threw in a red herring about all manufacturing companies, and then wrapped up with reforming the tax code. The mental gymna

Oh I see what you mean. I didn't know that NPM added a dist folder when you install it that way.

Yea, but how does that help me in my dev projects? The nice thing about Bower/NPM is that you can pull repos at specific versions or pull in new versions of a project. Adding a line to my build script to include a file at (say) `.&#x2F
