Logo in either elementary or middle school in the early 00's was my first experience writing any code. Good times.

I really just want an Apple version of the new Fitbit Air. I had an Apple Watch for five years. Battery didn't even last a day. I realized generally I have my phone or laptop with me all the time anyway, I don't need a watch with

The number of people who buy junk food on credit they can't pay off is pretty much unfathomable at least in the USA. There are plenty of people for whom "$3 / day" is something they very realistically can't afford.

they're definitely hoping the people who can't afford it simply lease it like an expensive car.

My point was with respect to brainrot being depressing but existing for a long time before AI. Not resource use.

How many memes/gifs do you think have been created by hand or with generators over the last ~20 years?

Yeah, where I live there's constantly shattered glass, other people's dog's poo they don't pick up, etc. Last week I was walking my dog and he stepped on glass or something that gashed open part of his paw pad.

Even disc-based games in boxes have mostly required online connectivity to download most game files for a long time. It doesn't make it right but I feel like the writing has been on the wall for ages.

Yeah, I vibe-coded an iOS game last year. While I'd had the gameplay idea for years, it took so much time balancing everything and I still didn't really get it quite right.

That's a nice idea but how many of those people will wind up at a job that doesn't require RTO? I was applying quite a bit back in April and many places that previously had decently-hard stances on allowing WFH now stated RTO as a

At my current job it's fairly frequent that I have 5+ active branches open for a repo. Not ideal and that's another topic, but it is nice to be able to sort branches because of that.

sounds like my dog. he knows when to sit and stare at me to wait for his usual food routine and, occasionally, treats. once he realizes that no it isn't time for either, he goes away.

If you're doing any transfers it could get reasonably complicated. SUICA makes those easy, unless you need a recharge to top it up.

I've been able to get multiple over the past nearly 10 years, very easily. I think there was a relatively brief shortage toward the end of the COVID closure, maybe the first year or so Japan was re-opened. But generally you could still

I've had a lot of trouble when it comes to sorting out UIs. I've tried with an iOS game and also a TypeScript app with UI elements from libraries like ReactFlow. The usual models can sometimes fix or change things based on screens

I've made a lot of friends in Japan through shared interest communities that are mostly on twitter. Most are people I've actually met whenever I am in Japan.

I've just about never had an issue finding a toilet, like you said. Parking/service areas are great and nothing like rest stops in, say, California There are _some_ neighborhoods, especially in Tokyo, where sometimes it can be dif

We used it in the course I had that introduced functional programming. The only memorable thing I can remember writing in it for that class was a topological sort (I believe).

I can't even get Claude to stop writing python to parse json instead of using jq despite baking it into agent memory and skills.

I guess RSUs aren't really "real wages" but mine vested over four years to the extent that by the time I left they were worth barely 25% of what they had been when I signed the offer. Happened over time, too, so quarterly ves

iOS allows something similar. twitter (X) will also add a logo. I believe reddit did the same but i stopped using their app a while ago.

In my experience even before LLMs came along it was a matter of engineering culture how much a human put their motivations and rationales into why their diff came out the way it did.

I had an Apple Watch Series 6 for about five years and the battery degraded to the point it needed just about two charges a day. Then I found out about the new Fitbit Air in June and picked one up. Advertised battery life is 7 days; I tend

arguably you could say we always could use more humans in the loop even when it is only humans in the loop.

even if you say use RAG or something to a source you can trust, there's no guarantee the agent will still use exactly what the source has. i can't even get agents to remember core instructions like "use jq instead of writing
