I get it, and it draws parallels with debugging and incident response in software dev. Your best tool is good data, if you have more data, you’re able to make good judgement in short time. If AI helps you collect good data about your condit

I sort of wish there was a google "ad" search, where its like google search but only for ads, for the rare cases you want to buy something, and are looking through for a compatible product. Make advertisers differentiate by provid

Honestly I struggled to get further than 2nd paragraph. Other commenters here also have similar spectrum of opinions, far down the "Enjoy later" mindset

Jesus no, you could be dead or decrepit by 60. What’s wrong with finding happiness within your limits all the time?

except Juniors with Claude are now “seniors”. In all seriousness even though deep down I know there’s no replacement for experience, I’ve seen a bunch of new people get impressively far with just hacking stuff together. And in the end if yo

You’ve missed the point of original article about the proxy for quality disappearing. LLMs are trained adversarially, if that’s a word. They are trained to not have any “tells”. Working in a team isn’t adversarial, if i’m reviewing my colle

goddamnit, read for a solid 5 minutes until I realised the rest is paywalled, sigh. No pasty facts isn’t worth another subscription. I have many other interesting things to do

That’s a shame, though I do see that it is difficult to make any money from what it is. I’m glad they didn’t sell it to someone big for all the user’s data, though it is still early

In the UK I've not been able to find high wattage (10-20W) LED lightbulbs with high CRI, some don't even mention it in listings, let alone SSI, which I have never seen. Where are you seeing these? Is this industrial/commercia

Since no-one mentioned the Cynefin framework yet: Notice that there's a little fold at the bottom centre of the diagram: Chaotic (unknowable unknowns, etc) things will always resolve themselves to simple states. Fires will eventually b

Nice, download a random binary off the internet and give it your AWS credentials. Please people, inspect the source to your tools, or don't use them on production accounts.

No-one uses that original OOP at all, no-one sane anyway. The way its used now is for dependency injection. All your logic is in services that are injectable and unit tested. All your data is in simple immutable DTOs. All the OOP tricks, cl

not original commenter, but I have. Either through their manipulation, or just being in the same place, doing the same things. Didn't like them as a person, but they were decent to me, so some sort of reciprocation happened, didn'

It's almost the same argument, but backwards: You think they are a good person, so you want them to do well. Because they are good, they also want you to do well. Same result, but intentions are backwards.

Err what? That certificate may well have been leaked, but because it expired the bank doesn’t not consider it an issue, no need to revoke it. Certificate validity is binary. either it all is, or it isn’t. this included “not before”

Pay for services that you use instead of forcing companies to rely on ad revenue to run their useful service? I get it though, no one wants to pay for 100s of little free marginally useful things we use every day, but if you look back at wh

Yea I also spotted that. Never liked the format of “Successful people do X. You should do it too”. Interesting article though, somehow I found goal setting never worked for me well, but I find clarity in constraints.

Despite my earlier comment, the way Sentry approaches open source is at least a little better than the majority, so its good that you at least provide an escape hatch that means heavy integration with Sentry isn't a complete vendor loc

Well done! I came to the same conclusion (with the exact same bewilderment steps) as I do love Sentry myself. I will definitely try Bugsink, it’s something i’ve been looking for ages. Feedback on competition bashing: sometimes they deserve

The summary doesn't say anything about availability zones. Does this mean all AZs are experiencing issues? So even if you have HA services spread across all AZs that won't save you? Edit: Of course the sharable link is not sharabl

That’s a very narrow view of humanity and morality. Only psychopaths (in a clinical sense, not derogatory) model their actions strictly by what’s legal. Many things are moral, but have no legal coverage, some things are moral but illegal, a

Hmm, I see where you’re coming from. Monetary fines impact corporations “where it hurts”, i.e. the bottom line. But yea, that’s the only language that a corporate entity understands, unfortunately.

Your comment doesn’t quite make sense: Building from source lets you (and everyone else) inspect the source, while building from provided tarballs means if you compare it to source it’ll be inherently different, as the autoconf process make

Mentoring is making sure the person feels supported and knows you have their back in what they are doing. it’s “it might cause an outage, but I’ll help you fix it if that happens” edit: but yea, 100% agreeing with you

AC voltage must stay within spec, and the grid has voltage control in place, but that’s not what determines the direction of power flow. Like, what makes the inverter output power rather than draw it? In fact that’s how individual sections
