Reddit sucks so much if you use the defaults or follow any remotely "controversial" subreddit. If you follow subreddits for your hobbies and so on it's generally okay, I have no issues with the various Warhammer subreddits I

Yes it's basically every website in Australia you can pay via PayPal now. I use it less and less since Apple Pay is available pretty much everywhere, but it can still be handy now and then.

This is a cool idea! Hope whoever gives me the blank playlist is prepared to listen to a lot of Bob Dylan :P

Update to this comment — I switched to VSCode and the only thing I miss is cursor tab. The vscode implementation just isn’t as good :(

It’s definitely usable as a verb, see https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/cow

Yes, I use it as my daily driver at Discourse, the Cursor Tab autocompletion is still the best AI-based editor autocomplete I have used. I switched to nvim earlier in the year because there was no real great AI integrations that didn't

The funniest one I've seen with regularity is belt-and-suspenders/belt-and-braces, when I've never seen anyone ever use that term. I had to tell AI to stop using it, it was just annoying.

This is why I switched to cursor over the last few months out of nvim. Just wasn't any smooth first class integrations with AI tooling. I still use vim bindings there, and I use nvim for quicker edits, but the AI editing and Cursor Tab

Yes that's fair, but not the case for me. Everything can run locally and specs run quickly for covering things claude changes. For everything else, the GitHub CI run is 10-15m and catches any outlier failures, and I'm usually work

by mjrbrennan 6mo ago
Yes I'm still not really understanding this "run agents overnight" thing. Most of the time if I use claude it's done in 5-20 minutes. I've never wanted to have work done for me overnight...tomorrow is already plenty

I responded to the other comment, but I work at Discourse. As a site admin you can disable badges (which is our gamification system) entirely, or you can get rid of individual badges. If you're interested in trying Discourse, our lowes

I've got a couple, one for my fiction writing and general worldbuilding (a digital garden if you will) at https://writing.martin-brennan.com and my tech blog at https://martin-brennan.com

This is fair on shorter flights ~1-4 hours, but I am reasonably tall too and I am not suffering through a 14 hour overnight flight without reclining. I don't think there is anything wrong with it in this case, and flight attendants wil

Brisbane now as well since the past ~1 year or so, much better than the old Go Card system. The only downside in most places with these systems though is that there is no easy way to pay for e.g. children, would be perfect if you could say

Yes, I’ve only just started trying out Claude Code and I do not mesh well with this method of asking AI to do something, then having to wait a few minutes and come back and check its work. I find this leads so easily to distraction and I fi

Yes that's what gets me too. I want to engage with my coworkers, you know other humans? And get their ideas and input and summaries. Not just sit in my office alone having the computer explain everything to me badly, or read through Po

Not trying to be rude here, but that `last_week.md` is horrible to me. I can't imagine having to read that let alone listen to the computer say it to me. It's so much blah blah and fluff that reads like a bad PR piece. I'd mu

I thought Waze was owned by Google though? I assumed they would use Waze’s traffic data.

Yes I find this is the main benefit of Google Maps GPS now, predicting and avoiding traffic whenever possible.

Same, I switched back to a single 27" screen last year. For me it's better to focus on one thing at a time especially since my eyes aren't the best, and I switch between virtual desktops with F1-F4 (or when I use my mac with

I loved them both for different reasons, I went last year for the first time. As another commenter said Madrid felt very imperial, and as you say was beautiful, clean, and walkable. Barcelona felt more arty and had a great coastal vibe to i

Same, I really don’t like HAML or Jade or other such things as a HTML replacement. I just never saw the point, it doesn’t seem like less work than just using HTML?

Definitely try to power through Mad Men, I tried to watch it a few times when I was younger but never got past season 3, whereas season 4 is where the real heart and message of it shows through, and the character development reaches new pea

I feel the same way about the one here in Australia -- I always double check it's scanned the correct numbers. Haven't been cheated out of millions yet, unfortunately.

Oh I see, it was just worded kind of awkwardly. Thanks for clarifying.

> commuting to NY four days a week How on earth do people do this? This is 3 hours of flight time each way 4 days a week...do they do something like fly 6am-9am, work 10am-5pm, fly 6pm-9pm, then do it all again the next day (this is also
