> Stack Overflow is receiving about 3,800 questions a month, which is what it was getting in 2008, before it had finished being launched. Interesting, is SO getting traffic again? I thought it wasn't doing well? Or have they adapted

It's too early for me to have a firm opinion one way or another. Just a data point: this month I had a knarly bug in generated bpf code. The C language was correct but the compiler produced a bug that corrupted packets. I spent around

High commercial rent affects not only diverse businesses (good ideas that take risks) but also the quality and accessibility of goods of necessary businesses. Near me, simple mens' haircuts have soared to $35+... Except those shops tha

I fear what is coming is integrated ads into the conversation. What has Google to gain from helping discover sites that don't sell anything that can be advertised? I imagine sites will have to be increasingly behind crawlers protection

I can't help but feel that search is a distinct action verb (separate from what they are pushing) and Google is just hijacking the place people go to search so the adoption to this new workflow is faster.

Okay, when fuzzing techniques came out there was a big surge in discovered and exploited bugs. AI is more general and I expect there be a similar surge. However fuzzing is cheap but compute and techniques can be "owned." The econo

Also 48 hours prior the disclosure is a very narrow window? I wonder if their logs don't go back further or if there was another reason to look back only two days.

Right? Grow some wild flowers instead of grass and plant some f*ckin trees. Americans love their yards but dont plant any trees. You know what creates shade? I realized my rant is charged and unhinged. But idc. I hope at least 1 person sees

Ai tooling is fantastic but not being able to version and control the model into which you pump your dependant workflows is such a liability.

Valid points, with which I agree and share the concern. I can't compete with colleagues, whom do things fast, if I want to learn. On the other hand, I no longer have to toil to work through things that I never truly learned, like tasks

What's the realistic outcome here? The gov cannot label them as a supply-chain risk but still free to cancel contracts with Anthropic? Or do gov agencies has autonomy to use whoever they want?

Internally, we've created such good debugging tools that can aggregate a lot from a lot of sources. We've yet to address the quality of vibecoded critical applications so they aren't merged, but one off tools for incall,alert

Excellent source! Thank you. Looks like more flights in 2025 than previous years and less accidents. 2025 does have more fatalities, which are more memorable than emergency landings where everything was alright. So that is likely what skewe

This is purely anecdotal. Some search queries about incidents I remember - Jan 2025 mid air collision with helicopter near Reagan National, Washington, D.C. - April 2025 China Eastern Airlines Flight runway overrun at Chongqing Jiangbei - J

Either the number of big airline incidents around the world grew in the last 24 months or reporting on it became more popular. I wonder how much people get hurt relative to number that fly now.

I'm just lurking in the comments with popcorn, but if what you said is true and the maintainers of X decided it was a lost cause and unfixable, well that is the most informed opinion of them all. Nobody knows better then the maintainer

I studied signal processing in university and my career evolved to not use what I studied. Decades ago, giving an algorithm a sound file and isolating tracks was difficult. How does your implementation accomplish this? Were you involved or

I ran a TrueNAS server that was based on BSD, loved jails. Then TrueNAS started using debian so more application can run on it. Selfishly I like getting more utility from my server so this was a welcomed change. What industry is BSD used in

Software eng has always been automating repetitive decision making and processes. Code is just a series of steps computers/systems follow deterministically. Now we are automating the automation. I don't necessarily disagree with y

> you need to embed your best practices in your agent and keep and eye on it and refine it over time. Sincere question, how do beginners to the field (interns, juniors) do this when they don't have any best practices yet?

"kids" these days don't know what a file is. Seriously, ask anyone you know that is a college professor (in the states).
