That doesn't mean we know for sure it was that, don't you think? Your comments seem very politically motivated, and you're asking others to not blame it on the train as the reasons for the accident are still unknown and at th

> Unless there is evidence that the accident was caused by the Iryo train I'd say the same about the railway network. We don't know what happened yet.

If the jeans have elastane (which most tight cuts have), it should help. As an aside, skinny jeans haven’t been fashionable in years.

What I’ve found is some really average developers thinking they’re Jeff Dean, or at least have that attitude.

Years of advocating against bullies, my takeaway from this thread is “the US did this because it can”. So bullying is ok now I guess. I’m sure it had nothing to do with oil too, just about democracy.

Enough money to not work and care for your children is the correct answer. But sadly the people I know who made enough money to be able to retire young are workaholics that will hire people to raise their kids. Because their workaholism i

> Skeptic here: I do think LLMs are a fad for software development. I think that’s where they’re most useful, for multiple reasons: - programming is very formal . Either the thing compiles, or it doesn’t. It’s straightforward to provide

LLMs typically still require some interactivity, no? Much easier to watch some videos in many cases.

Exactly. I thought my last paragraph made it clear that software is not like the other couple of things.

Kinda tangential but in the advent of AI I feel like there won’t be a niche for “handcrafted software”. When quartz watches came up the makers of mechanical watches struggled. Quartz watches are cheaper, more accurate in many cases and serv

Who cares if it took 140 or 3 years to get brand recognition. ChatGPT is also everywhere if you have an Internet connection.

by Xenoamorphous 11mo ago
I agree 100% with you. In this niche forum people keep saying “there’s no moat”. But the moat is the brand recognition, if I ask my 70yo mum “have you heard of Gemini/Claude” she’ll reply “the what?”, yet she knows of ChatGPT. Does Coc

I’m sure they do better than me. Sometimes I get stuck on an endless loop of buses and fire hydrants. Also, when they ask you to identify traffic lights, do you select the post? And when it’s motor/bycicles, do you select the guy ridin

Maybe in English. In Spanish (and we’re a bunch, the native Spanish speakers) I guarantee that if you say “América” you’re referring to the continent. The country is “Estados Unidos” (United States) or its abbreviation, EEUU. And its citize

One thing that strikes me as odd, as someone not from the US, is that it’s kind of assumed that people are renting? I’d expect that lots of people in SV/Bay area would just buy the place, expensive as that might be.

Ditto. I’ve upvoted this based solely on the amazing title. Best toyline ever.

It might not be easily reachable? Some people put the wire inside the drywall for aesthetic reasons for stuff that you rarely unplug, like a TV. A matress can fall in that category.

You lose convenience/functionality though. E.g. it’s convenient for me to turn on the aircon an hour before I get home in the summer. Edit: I'm not talking on a day to day basis, but when I go on a trip. And I don't have a po

I have dozens of collections with hundreds of requests, most sending complex payloads, all perfectly organised hierarchically. I'd rather use a collapsible UI for that, if you prefer to have hundreds of scripts in folders that's f

I use both. It's quite convenient to have all the collections available and just send the request with a couple of clicks.

I've had plenty of interest, passion and motivation during my career. But never, ever, directed at learning something like vim, even if it's going to make me more productive. I'd rather learn almost any other of the myriad of
