I don't think they're abusing functionality at all. I don't think screenshotting a skeet should, by default, leak the follow state of the user taking the screenshot, which is what would happen without the secure input swap &q

In my own experience this is 180 degrees from reality. As a generalist, feeling out the depths of a single domain (something I've been forced to do at least 50 times in my career, to the point that I'm probably a global expert in

I have a relatively large "vibe coded" project that I let Claude 4.5-4.7 drive over the past few months, and my read on it is: 1. It's much more verbose about how it perceives the current state of things, i.e. "this is a

The 80s and 90s were pretty much the golden age of music production in terms of breadth and sheer volume. This is the distilled essence of a “first world problem.”

As someone who built a custom serial cable (not my idea, greetz to the original designer) to load assembly programs on TI-85s for all my friends, the “approved for exams” shit is so funny

Personally, I make a lot more "out of hour" commits than I used to because I'll batch up low priority tasks throughout the day and let the computer chug on them at night when I'm elsewhere. Commits are coming in at all h

Are we pretending that optimizing for taste is a bad thing? It’s obviously bad to eat super salty “ultraprocessed” food all the time, but it’s not like the salt is the primary problem To take OP’s example, I’d much rather kids eat generousl

It feels like you’re using “industrial food” as a pejorative, but the best chefs in the world also do not skimp on salt

I generally agree you should buy fast machines, but the difference between my 5950x (bought in mid 2021. I checked) and the latest 9950x is not particularly large on synthetic benchmarks, and the real world difference for a software develop

BlackSky seems to be run by a competent dev with a high enough profile that I see his posts regularly without following him directly Based on his progress posts it seems that ATproto is intentionally moving in the right direction and BlackS

I agree with your first paragraph, but there are lots of basically-broke people who live on boats Old sailboats can be had for practically (and in many cases actually) nothing. If you’re reasonably handy and willing to learn you can do all

1) Dates are often stored as strings, so parsing them correctly is a necessary component of storing them. Also, those dates need not be simple app state. They could come from an API provided by your doctor/pharmacy 2) Many people (espe
