FYI LLMs are also very good at maintaining a fork ;)

I know, it sucks. I didn't intend to do cash before I started my business because it seemed like a pain but now that I've figured it out I'm really glad I did. I love being able to transact without the payment processors know

I own a business that does about $10-$15k mo USD in cash and card transactions and most of what you've said here doesn't ring true to me. Unless you're handling huge amounts of cash, cards are WAY more expensive to deal with

The speed/time remapping controls are quite good; here's a clip I made that demonstrates how deep you can go: https://www.instagram.com/reel/CiSoiypPeB2/?stkn=emgyM3N3bHN... WRT audio I'm not sure a

I know you probably mean very well, but IMO it's really bizarre and patronizing to be offended on someone else's behalf, especially if the offended people in question are perfectly capable of expressing the sentiment themselves. I

I think your main point is right, but there are many Costco members who are NOT shopping for "weeks of groceries" at a time, and many of them live in suburban or urban areas with high density. For example, I shop at Costco once a

It is significant if you don't want to sit at a computer all day just to MAYBE get basic functionality, then find you've backed yourself into a corner because you didn't know some esoteric detail and have to spend another day

This just doesn't matter for a lot of us. We have LLMs that can tweak it and the tools work as intended. The whole point of this sentiment is that the personal tools wouldn't EXIST due to the time sink needed. The tradeoff makes s

IMO, it's a bit disingenuous in 2026 to argue that technical college degrees exist for the sake of pure education and that we're best suited to continue pretending as such. The vast majority of students and employers treat them as

I've been thinking along similar lines as you and really appreciate you posting this comment. I, too, think it's important to put dreams out there even if they have holes in their implementation or are easily torn apart by naysaye

Thanks for taking the time to write such a high quality reply; this is something I've wondered about for a long time and I appreciate the thought and detail you've shared here. :)

Low barrier to entry and hard to get fired once you're in. Rotten people put on a good face in the interview and then spread their misery around for decades to some of our most vulnerable. It happens in pretty much every unelected posi

I'm willing to bet TPUs wouldn't be nearly as successful or sophisticated without the decades of GPU design and manufacturing that came before them. Current manufacturing numbers are a small part of the story of the overall lineag

We don't need to know the exact boundaries of what's acceptable to recognize obviously harmful behavior and make efforts to stop it on a societal level. This is the classic "perfect is the enemy of the good" type scenari

Criticism without a better solution is only so valuable. How would you do this instead, and why?

I was in an extremely good spot financially when I quit (years of runway) due to living well below my paycheck for years of working at FAANG. I was terrified to do so, but the only alternative I could see at the time was killing myself if I

I went through the exact same thing as you, and I needed some time to explore different ways of living. I tried being a drone pilot, a kayak guide, and a paddleboard instructor and learned a lot in the process. After those forays I designed

You cycle multiple packs to run for hours. Your battery blower sounds like it's just not very good. I can move piles of wet leaves easily with my makita blower that uses two 18v batteries. It's a pretty old model too. Batteries ca

Corded yard tools will always suck because they can only pull <15A on a standard US outlet. They just don't have the juice. It's always better to go with batteries for electric outdoor stuff for that (and other) reasons.

It seems very likely to me that the sensations experienced during exercise are highly variable among individuals. I say this because my experience is very different from yours: I get a very perceptible "high" once I get into the r

There is no universally "correct" granularity. You could easily scoff the same way about some number of API endpoints, class methods, config options, etc, and it still wouldn't be meaningful without context. It's ok to s

Credentials should only be provided at the application root, which is going to be a different root for a test harness. Mockito shouldn't change whether or not this is possible; the code shouldn't have the prod creds (or any extern

It's useful to get "glue" code out of the way while building, but to the point in the article it all becomes very difficult to debug and maintain once there are problems in the that layer. Spring Boot and other similar framew

Fabrice is certainly very skilled in CS, but his achievements are more in software implementation IMO. AIUI the Turing award is primarily CS focused.

These tests also break encapsulation in many cases because they're not testing the interface contract, they're testing the implementation.

The world is too complex, and life paths too varied, to reliably assume "everyone" in a community or group knows about some fact. You're usually deep within a social bubble of some sort if you find yourself assuming otherwis

no one asked, but FYI in English it is more commmon to say "for several years" instead of "since some years" :)
