I'm in the middle of it so don't have any conclusions for you, but I started mucking with building my own cli coding app and there are _tons_ of levers available that aren't apparent from claude code or codex. Including alter

My take was more a kind of amusing laughing-through-frustration but also enjoying the ride just a little bit insouciance. Tastes vary of course, but I enjoyed the author's tone and pacing.

Huh, this always seemed like such an institution it never occurred to me that people have to produce Farmers' Almanac. Which of course they do. Didn't have this on my bingo card today, makes me a little sad.

I like to think of continuity as always having more "resolution" available if a sharper "picture" is required. It is _weird_ though.

For sure, I meant something more like a slot with a name.

The issue there I think is the idea of two reals having a "between."

(I work in social media content moderation.) Echoing some other comments here, I highly recommend (in strongest possible terms) that you sit down with a lawyer well versed in Internet law wherever you are based out of and lay all of this ou

DPR is free!! I'm very happy for him and hope he makes good on this second lease on life.

My read of the end of this is that the author of TFA replaces the "elevated" interpretations in the cited academic works with "the fly scene's purpose is the be awesome (Leonesque)"--is that right? Love this movie a

One _possible_ out for Snakey here is that in old percussion cap revolvers (like Colt Dragoon), the safe thing to do was keep an empty chamber in front of the hammer when not engaged in active shooting. It's been a while though, and my

My read of responsible people are corporate officers and executives--people who actually choose what to work on and are substantially rewarded by the corporation.

Seems like the University of Northern Iowa's concern, no?

If you do please advertise it on HN. I'll buy a copy.

It isn't, at all. It's laziness on the part of management.

That's an interesting take that seems so obvious now that you've said it. I've spent my whole life in single family homes and never quite "got" the "go work in a cafe" and similar stuff. Seems like a prett

The internal standards are basically the same but who gets an interview has dramatically changed due to the enormous resume pools. Where we would have interviewed a decent chunk of generically plausible candidates before the lay-off waves w

We are getting literally thousands of more or less qualified applicants for most of the roles we're hiring for at Dropbox right now. Can't speak for other places but I imagine it's similar for some. I don't know anything

Do you keep searching your house for something after you find it? Apple's claim is an upper bound, it's pretty rare that the thing you're looking for is in the last possible place it could be.

Honest question--is Michelle a real person the author is recounting events about or is this some kind of literary device? Maybe my brain isn't working today but I gave up halfway through this without getting it.

We sold my wife's old Versa for more than she paid new to Carvana about 2 years ago. I wasn't upset but definitely didn't seem sustainable??

I finally did in '21 and it was worth every penny. YMMV but my attitude on price vs value for high end chairs changed quite a bit when I got one.

A little bit of wow factor from infotainment at an impressionable age can lead to lifetime interest that is far, far more impactful than the "educational" quality or content of these classes. Not always of course but this kind of

There is no checkbox for someone to check that once done that's it, they're now a programmer and can just do it in every situation without learning. I work with very talented and experienced developers who learn new things frequen

SAFe was implemented top down at CVS Health when I was there. Main benefit I got from it was the parties in the evenings after PI Planning days were excellent. Otherwise I don't miss anything about it.
