Generally that's what it means. And also when proofs are presented, a rigorous book will go through it fully, whereas a less rigorous one might just sketch out the main ideas of the proof and leave out some of the nitty gritty details

I disagree, I think for the average hobbyist Arduino is an abstraction of "thing that can talk to sensors and actuate motors." You're right of course that RPi (excl pico) is very different from Arduino, but for the hobbyist i

It doesn't look like they've made any drastic changes that would impel anyone to leave Arduino tomorrow, or in the foreseeable future, but if they keep going down this route I imagine the community will move to RPi. They've a

JLCPCB also offers assembly and they're much, much cheaper, like an order of magnitude cheaper.

Neat! I just sent out an order to JLCPCB for an ESP32 based board. I don't have a rework station or any experience with SMT so I decided to go for their assembly options. It's 80 per board, but would probably be cheaper per board

+1 for nanostores. It's great that it works standalone, but what's also nice is that they have tools to let you use it with React. It's much cleaner and more intuitive than React contexts which is how you're supposed to

None of these are problems taken separately, but put together they're pretty frustrating. Hooks being 5 years old and being the predominant tool for certain tasks shows that the community only figured out how to solve a particular prob

It's an interesting idea (among many) to try to address the problem of LLMs getting off task, but I notice that there's no evaluation in the blog post. Like, ok cool, you've added "skills," but is there any evidence

I only skimmed through the website, but it looks like it only does dotfiles. So I'd need to maintain a separate script to keep my packages in sync. And a script with install commands wouldn't be enough - maybe I decided to stop us

If I could just give them $1 and get the article and that's the whole transaction, that would be great. But they want me to subscribe and I don't read their articles enough for it to be worth it. I could subscribe and cancel but t

Usually , though not always, a company will tell you if they're making money on something, and if they're not they beat around the bush like this. Notice how, for example, Gywnne Shotwell never beats around the bush like this whe

As a counter example, consider the jerry can from WWII. It was easy to handle a single unit to refill a vehicle, and it was also easy to stack millions of them for shipping. Another example is the internet itself. You can have a local LAN o

You've given this example about how to use React without JSX but actually you're not using React but Preact, which is a different library. Preact, to its credit, actually has instructions for using it without JSX right in their ge

I humbly disagree. I've never built a highly interactive application with React, only simple sites where the guys before me chose React, so I can't speak to its relative strengths or weaknesses there, but I've found that it d

I think it's unfair to say that Coinbase has effectively "gotten lucky" in not being hacked. Security by obscurity makes sense when you have a low traffic low stakes site, but a place like Coinbase can't rely on that. Th

While I think that's probably true for many of them, Coinbase is the most prominent crypto company, obviously a major target, and yet we haven't seen any real meaningful hacks of them. I think that says something.

About 2 weeks ago I turned off all AI tools. I've been much more productive since then. I may allow a small amount of AI back in, like predict the next 5-12 tokens, but that's it. Even "Next Edit Suggestion" takes me out
