Not with intention, personally. There was a framework I started using because it seemed interesting; but I still used several others. It aligned well enough with the way I think about software, and I liked its ecosystem and maintenance appr

Sounds infuriating to me. I always have to disable autocomplete when writing code comments because the AI suggests things that have nothing to do with what I want to say. Super distracting to the point that it’s almost impossible to maintai

Really? We’re back to using LoC as a metric? Have we learned absolutely nothing in the past 50 years? Oh, never mind, we already know the answer to that…

Depends. I prefer not to give money to people who will use that money to achieve political ends that horrify or disgust me. I’m boycotting a select number of companies for that reason. That said, they’re generally not early stage startups —

Perhaps related to something like weight to strength ratio? Reach doesn’t help all that much if you can’t hold your full weight.

Because a reasonably well optimized database with support for indexes, data integrity enforcement, transactions, and all the other important things we expect from a good (relational) database is complex enough that it takes a rather large c

Democratic means giving all citizens a say in government. What are you trying to convey with the word?

Conventional being the key word. Yes, I know that usually is in contrast to nuclear warfare. There’s really no motivation for China to attack the US (they have plenty of economic leverage and that would be far less costly to them than an in

In fact, women tend to outdo men in extreme endurance competition. It’s part of the trade-off for a lower ceiling on absolute strength. But yes, in modern warfare there are as many jobs if not more that require precision or some level of i

That mandatory isn’t the same as automatic? Also, I’d guess that there are a ton of people who are not in fact aware of that requirement.

Iunno, counts as both dark pattern and a form of enshittification from where I’m sitting.

It’s thoroughly unenforced, which is the problem. Tho I like the proposal to require that manufacturers design car horns to sound as loudly inside the cabin as outside. Might make a dent.

Believe it or not, iteration, editing, and research all existed in the typewriter age.

Vehement? Maybe. Violent? Doubtful.

Yes, it makes sense in terms of output IF you can sustain the water inputs. But the water inputs aren’t sustainable. Cutting back on that sort of farming in the region would make a much greater impact than fractions of percentages from digi

This seems incredibly marginal relative to the choice to grow lettuce in a desert.

I thought you just said you spent however long building a prototype to answer those questions.

This sounds like a copyright violation machine. I say that both as someone who writes vooyrighted code and someone responsible for ensuring my company’s code doesn’t violate anyone else’s copyright.

“Had I known that I was a Millennial, perhaps I would’ve turned out much more emotionally fragile and lived up to that stereotype, or even gone gay.” Wow. Was skeptical to start with, but stopped reading here.

The headline is clickbait. The topic is congestion pricing.
