Biome has several advantages that make this future unlikely and evidence from similar attempts in other languages seems to support their direction. Such pessimism is unwarranted.

eslint is slow and has terrible UX. Use Biome instead.

What's more ironic, a wedding on a rainy day, or rain on a wedding day?

Why does no one ever seem to apply early stopping theory to hiring even though that's the canonical example of early stopping theory?

Given we've tried to develop such ontologies constantly for thousands of years now. What do you think the cause for such hopeless optimism might be? If only we had a database of causal relationships to consult...

The irony is that most people don't know how to use the word ironic. Personally I blame Alanis Morissette.

I have an emergency Naproxen stash for the occasional gout flare-up and it's so much more effective than Ibuprofen it's amazing.

Is it the memorisation that had the desired effect or the having to come up with the novel proofs? Many schools seem to do the memorising part, but not the creating part.

Doing weird pointlessly complicated stuff on a niche area of your website is a not entirely ridiculous way to try out new things and build new skills I guess.

Science is itself a form of ritual for sure. I didn't say we shouldn't have rituals and I support your right to chew on a tree if that's what you want to do.

I am not arguing that plants do not contain interesting chemicals. I am arguing that they are typically used in a ways that are ineffective and the users don't care because they fulfilled their main priority, taking part in a ritual.

The very fact that "natural medicine" practitioners form their own group that doesn't interact much with evidence based medicine is just more evidence for my view. The whole community is more interested in forming some sort o

Take turmeric for example. It contains curcumin, a chemical that has quite good evidence for anti-inflammatory properties. However curcumin is not present in turmeric in clinically relevant quantities. People taking turmeric medicinally are

I think we should really just stop asking if "the old ways" actually work or not as it seems entirely irrelevant to the people that seek them out most of the time. They are acts of pure ritual.

I believe it's to create barriers to entry and make the space harder to compete in. There's still a ton of value in the lower end of the market by capability, and it's easier for more companies to compete in. If you make the

Why would OpenAI give this away for free? Is it to disrupt competition by setting a floor at the lower end of the market and make it harder for new competition to emerge while still retaining mind share?

Terminal emulators can only do exactly that. Emulate increasingly large terminals. They are almost fundamentally unable to render something smaller than a single character.

Mice are good and the terminal doesn't make the best use of the information density possible on modern displays.

The problem with double decker busses is you lose a lot of the capacity benefit by increasing the loading/unloading times. If you eliminated the whole ticketing process and optimised the loading times they would probably be a LOT bette

At least in the UK ambulance crews are extremely tightly monitored (mostly for good reasons) so surprised there would be any privacy concerns for crew on the clock.

Do you know if there is any documentation on how they actually implement the algorithms behind it? Seems like possibly it's a small enough region that you could cram it into a MILP solver?
