> as if just because they have more experience THEY CAN I don't follow. Why wouldn't you believe that a senior engineer, that has been reviewing code for years, be any better at reviewing code?

Agreed. E-bikes have gotten my elderly relatives moving too. From essentially sedentary to active on a daily basis. Teens + other able bodied people are inactive for reasons unrelated to ease of pedaling.

This is cute, but the real reason our teens are inactive & unsocial is because of awful zoning laws + exurban sprawl. It’s not realistically possible to meet your friends anywhere, their homes are too far away & there aren’t any thi

I’ve (irregularly) donated to Zig, Janet, Blender, Godot, and Raylib. Outside of software, I have also donated to EFF (electronic frontier foundation).

I don't necessarily think this is a bad goal, but the term "vibe coder" is almost certainly considered derogatory now.

I think it’s more likely that Kagi users value relevant search results & accurate information.

We all know this is just the starting point & they'll inevitably raise the price without good reason. However, this is genuinely what I had been asking for; none of the youtube music nonsense. The (current, temporary) price is reas

This is mostly my experience, except that I DO know the problems. I don’t get to define the deadlines, that’s up to someone in a department entirely unrelated to engineering. Therefore I only have time to ship fragile, barely-tested code wh

The prison-industrial complex in the United States encourages this. While less than 10% of prisoners are in “for-profit” prisons, there’s a large industry of private companies beyond this that profit off federal prisons; in addition to prov

Unfortunately this is largely not the case in North America, there is no reliable public transit outside of urban areas.

Social binge-drinking is the norm. Amongst my peers, I’d define this as drinking to the point of severe drunkenness on a roughly biweekly basis. I think it’s genuinely frightening how normalized this is.

Interestingly, I've tried KDE multiple times on different devices & each time there's a Wifi issue that's not present in any other linux desktop. Even the steam deck's default steamos has this issue in desktop mode.

I'm happy to see that this usage of Godot has continued. I've been interested in using Godot for application development since I saw their official "Apps & Tools - 2022 Showreel"[1] video. The only concern I see comm

If they actually cared about public safety, they would pursue legislation to require analog controls & eliminate touchscreens in vehicles.

There’s not much to talk about here. Of course you won’t improve when a third party is producing your code. That being said, I’m interested to see what happens to LLM effectiveness over time as the amount of LLM-generated code starts infect

I’ve been a happy Kagi customer for probably 2 years(?) now. Highlights for me, as a professional: - I can blacklist low-value domains (such as geeksforgeeks) that dominate the top of many programming searches. - I can increase/decreas

More embarrassing than the size itself is that it is supposedly required to change the mode of the toothbrush. I truly do not think this should be allowed, but I’m not sure how to approach enforcing it.

I agree with the author, at least in my own creative experiences. However, it's more likely the case that 'creativity' is arrived at differently for everyone. I find memorization to be a comforting foundational activity tha

My current feelings are that I really like Cargo, but don’t enjoy writing Rust. To be honest, if C++ had its own cargo I don’t think I’d ever reach for anything else.

I agree, but unfortunately Asciidoc’s adoption is limited (imo) by the fact that the two most supported parsers are written in Ruby & JavaScript. Not having a C library really limits its potential reach. I personally tried it and enjoye

Members of Congress shouldn't be allowed to accumulate this kind of obscene wealth - full stop. The only details up for debate is where we draw the line & how to aggressively enforce it.
