Yeah makes sense. I was wondering if there was special meaning to “editor” that made it non obvious that they wouldn’t be unionized.

Are editors employees in any formal way or are they closer to Reddit moderators? Or editors as in anyone, ie. Reddit posters?

The worst thing about Ouija board debugging is the latency and bitrate. Honestly, I can tolerate a puzzle project. It’s almost satisfying. But sitting there and waiting for the response is agonizing.

Does this mean a net of 13% of foreign gold has been removed from the U.S. since 2006?

It’s just the best thing ever. Compiling at work took a minute for full builds with babel, and with rsbuild it now takes about 0.9 seconds.

The current U.S. regime is also replacing some amount of that legal certainty with regime fealty. Picking Chinese options over American ones probably runs a risk of upsetting their leader. I've got to imagine American companies are wei

Send them all my way. I could start a company. A company down by The Bay.

15,370 BCE feels like a lottery roll. I doubt I’ll live long. Edit: oh it’s not weighed by population? I was expecting 99% of rolls to be in recent times.

I love this. Especially the part where you can ask the Government of Canada for beavers. But it feels like there’s a bit of surprise to the idea that the environment takes on the form it takes on. And if you take away a part of it, it’ll ta

Yeah… Fair point! I’ve always perceived NIMBY as “we want the benefits but we want someone else to deal with the geographic price.” I bet we could find people who legitimately want commuter airports but just not near their house… wait… how

There’s probably a reasonable methodology but it has a lot of multiplications and some base parameters that make the whole thing wildly sensitive.

by Waterluvian 1mo ago
Could you imagine the (rather justified?) NIMBYism for all the airports required for commuter flight? If rail can’t be done, flight definitely won’t fly.

It would be like if there was a console 1/5th the price of a PS5 for approximately the same features.

> I don't get how that can be considered a luxury good. > You never need to play video games. This is basically what defines a luxury good.

by Waterluvian 1mo ago
But isn’t the scale not really relevant? There’s entire classes of luxury that are exactly the same thing to people who can own an LV bag. Saving up to buy a faberge helicopter or whatever it is. I’m not fully sure how to articulate the tho

Playdate feels like a Louis Vuitton bag in that you buy it not because you need a bag but because you want a fancy luxury good that feels good for you to own. I’m not criticizing it, though. I celebrate that we have options. When I got my k

This is the only regulation I feel is reasonable. When it comes to luxury goods like video games, it doesn’t make sense to dictate how the product is offered. But by all means insist they’re clear with what the transaction type is. I can i

I look forward to your blog post about it and the allegory as it relates to software dev. (Otherwise why would you be plugging a tire?)

This is a wonderful Minute Physics or What If? idea. I’d love to know the required bandwidth of the keyboard, too. PCI-e keyboard? Or would it have to be mainlined right to the NIC?

This is a term fellow devs have been using for years and years and my brain just cannot come to re-index its meaning. So I am immediately distracted by the context switch to sociopathic liars and related psychology.

Has anyone else had luck having a system level prompt for “express all responses in bullet point form unless full sentences are specifically necessary”? Because I’ve been having tremendous luck with that.

There's a fine line between ads and customer-offered testimonials. That's why I rely on AdTest, the latest AI innovention that tests whether a post is an ad or a testimonial.

Being an artist has always been a pretty difficult career path. But lots of people do it because they love creating art. If AI actually does what people fear it will to programming, people like your son and mine can choose to be an artist

Well, almost everybody. Once I’m done integrating blockchain technology and minting NFTs, I’ll catch up to modernizing for agentic development.

I think it’s partly about how many steps back you take. Take another step back and you might see a new option that will in ten years be added to your list of options lots of people use and have plenty of complaints about. I’m not saying not

How much of the language style outcome is a well-crafted result vs. being a somewhat unpredictable outcome of mucking with levers and knobs for a while?

My submission: there’s a writing competition with a $100,000 prize for the best AI-generated story. But to get an edge, the protagonist cheats by writing it themselves.

Spotify on Ubuntu one day stopped outputting audio and never again could I get it to work. How do you screw up the one thing your app needs to do?!
