Behold the View.java[0] at 34k lines of human code. IIRC it’s slimmed down a bit these days and used to be more. [0] https://android.googlesource.com/platform/frameworks/base/+/...

Yes. Most (even cheap-ish) greenhouse kits come with them, at least the ones I've seen around here.

When I first unboxed a new V15, I thought I got a cheap knockoff instead of the real thing. That’s how cheap Dyson plastics look and feel.

Doesn't this usually just mean saying "I take full responsibility" and then firing a bunch of unrelated people?

I wish. Never used to really see any until recently. Looks like a brake light malfunction if you're not expecting it.

But you can do equally horrible inheritance-y things with embedded structs.

I will never understand the obsession to build terrible SPAs to replace existing UIs, that are, without exception, worse than the original. But I guess Reddit had a good run and all things must come to an end.

Wish they spent some AI tokens on that abomination to fix at least some of the countless issues it has, because their human engineers definitely won’t.

To be fair, induction doesn’t heat the sides of the pan at all. So carbon steel pans are more annoying to use and keep uniformly seasoned. Woks don’t really work by default either. It’s also more susceptible to slightly warped pans exacerb

I’m skeptical about the reasoning being regulations. There are still a few Italian manufacturers who have a combined oven & stovetop models (“range” in US terms) including induction, but they’re really expensive and with questionable re

This! The only electric (induction or otherwise) stovetops are either bottom of the barrel portable or top of the line commercial models. Everything in between is capacitive touch garbage.

And can’t forget Metaverse and the $70B Meta sunk into it either.

I have a similar one. Is Claude Code (web and/or VS Code) still a buggy mess? Pretty much every single agent loop bugs out and requires a hard refresh, which sometimes still doesn’t help. And they have an effectively infinite LLM budge

The problem is still long periods (up to weeks) of single-digit percentage of nominal capacity of power generation from wind farms. Overbuilding doesn’t help much, so a non-renewable option still needs to be available.

It hasn't even been a few weeks since I had AI use a button + onClick handler for navigation instead of a simple anchor tag...

Not to mention that effectively reviewing code is a much more difficult skill than writing it. Without a good mental map of how it affects other parts of the system, it’s basically a rubber stamping ceremony. Github’s poor PR UI doesn’t h

This seems exactly backwards. Most commits should not exist, because the majority of people can't already help themselves from committing "wip" "fix lint", let alone anything more granular.

Can you elaborate about the practical value of having the history of back and forth, in a PR or even in the commit log? In my 20ish years of experience, I can’t recall a single instance where I’ve solved something thanks to having this work

by Zanfa 4mo ago
It’s not that. The sort of issues all of the above have caused are fundamental, eg not using anchor tags for navigation. It’s not in any way easier to use a button or div with an onclick handler. It’s also not easier to serve megabytes of J

Not surprising. It’s placed exactly where the regular search results used to be (when navigating away from image results) and muscle memory is strong. Haven’t clicked it intentionally once though.

This is my exact experience, but with Google Maps. Constantly suggesting gravel (or worse) side roads instead of highways and hallucinating multiple turn lanes etc on a country road about 1 car wide. It's been a few years, but I still
