I will say I'm doing some coding right now with Opus 4.8 and I'm shocked by how much commenting it does. I'm going to have to update my docs to tell it to limit it. In my last project w/ Kimi and Deepseek I didn't h

Why do we treat boy-girl and girl-boy as different outcomes since they are, per the question, equal outcomes thus representing one possible outcome. We don't care about which came first or second, only what gender each child is. Thus t

Completely agree. What will happen is over time this will become the new baseline for developing software. It will mean we can deliver software faster. Maybe more so than other advances, but it won't fundamentally change the fact that

Isn't this what Anker has largely done. In a world of might be good/might be crap cables, chargers, batteries, etc. You can always select the Anker variety on Amazon. It'll cost you a bit more than whatever random product, bu

We need to be careful here. Because we still want people to sell off potentially productive land. Lets say I buy two lots along a highway with growing traffic because I believe in the next 5-10 years it will be a good spot for a gas station

We can probably define a legal conservation easement as one that prevents further development on a piece of land, as opposed to regulating the uses and types of development.

There is a difference with an HOA. The HOA can be removed if enough members agree. It's not a restriction added by a past owner that can't be removed by the current owner.

Essentially most consumers just didn't care about quality and preferred the lower price over the higher quality product. That seems like normal consumer choice. The people didn't get poorer all of a sudden when the corporate bread

Yes. And child psychologists will tell you that babies and children crave consistency, variety is not their thing. In fact, one of the reasons we as parents (adults) expose them to variety is so they develop an understanding of how to cope

If this is entirely build using open-source software why not open source the site itself? Especially if you aren't planning to turn it into a commercial service.

Really great concept and execution seems to be pretty good. I'm a likely paying customer except that you don't support Microsoft 365. So I can use it for all my personal stuff which is GMail but none of my businesses which all run

There are entire systems engineering courses focused on failure resulting from a series of small problems that eventually in the right succession result in catastrophic failure. And I think we can say this was a catastrophic failure. Think

Or they knew/discovered that there was a repository of crash dumps - likely a widely known piece of information - and just grabbed as much as they could. Nothing in the write-up indicates any connection between the compromised engineer

Can you provide some additional details on the VoIP service? When you say "parking it on a VoIP service" do you mean that you ported from T-Mobile to the VoIP service or do you mean you forwarded your calls to a VoIP line and cont

What you would hope is that there is a small monthly fee (say a few bucks) to have the service and then a "usage fee" for the random unlikely time you use the service. So imagine paying $2 a month to have the service on and then $

Easy to memorize does not equal weak (i.e., easy to brute force.) You can use natural language to create very difficult to guess or brute force but incredibly easy to remember passwords.

It's SUPPOSED to be a shitty/frustrating/annoying process, not easy. This is your "break glass in case of emergency" solution - you don't want to ever use it and you want it to be super hard for someone else to

When I was doing IT ops for a company, we had a little program that generated 4 random common words and put a symbol between them (!.@#$%). Super easy to type and fairly easy to memorize, but according to every password checker also really

I would need to recover access to my password manager and my 2FA authentication tool (which is cloud backed up.) My password manager has recovery codes and my 2FA has a recovery process. Those - and, actually my email service's recover

No. The Principles of Federal Prosecution (Title 9 of the Justice Manual) make very clear you can't litigate whether a prosecutor is following DOJ's internal policies - that's between the Assistant US Attorney, the US Attorne

Very different population sizes and land mass. The US is way more spread out than in the UK (730 per sq mile in the UK vs. 93 per sq mile in the US.) In the US the Top 100 cities (each will have at least one police department) have just 20%

Yes, because learning Latin - as a written language - will put your vocabulary far ahead of those who don't. My high school had a general elective focused just on learning to use Greek and Latin to enhance your vocabulary, it was essen
