To me this is a wonderful example of the power of mathematics and science to go well beyond our normal intuition of how the world around us works works (which was the normal way things were done until only a few hundred years ago). The fact

For almost all of my professional coding life (~25 years), I don't think I've ever seen the "code" as my product, but instead, an actual business/real-world outcome produced or improved by that code. Even though I l

Totally agree. I just took issue with the idea that China’s currency would somehow be more stable.

Getting investments isn’t the same as adopting a currency as a reserve for its stability.

For all of its current very high profile issues of uncertainty in the US, who would actually trust China in any way shape or form as an alternative? It’s a totalitarian state who has been jailing its wealthiest businesspeople on a whim, cau

Right! a robot arm with some sort of magnetic alignment like we have on MagSafe would go pretty far.

Without getting bogged down in rigid definitions of phrases, do we both agree that this is about the application of deeper technical concepts and algorithms (usually taught as part of a computer science curriculum) towards real world proble

One of the coolest things to do in QGIS is to add a layer from Postgres (PostGIS) directly and just plot an entire table as a layer, live. It’s made for some really streamlined analysis.

I absolutely loved reading this. It's such an excellent example of a situation where Computer Science principles are very important in day to day software development. So many of these concepts (Big O, temporal and spatial locality, al

I wondered about that but at least ChatGPT wasn’t able to find anything definitive.

If my tone came off as confrontational, that was not my intent. But I do intend to say this: It seems to me that _you_ are ascribing malice to my comment. I was offering a (admittedly very strong) counterpoint to OP, which was that I do fin

I pay $100 a month and wouldn’t hesitate for a millisecond if I needed to pay the $200/mo plan if I hit rate limits. It’s hard to overstate how much of a productivity shift Claude code has been for shipping major features in our app. A

In past years, part of the new iPhone's hardware was usually coupled with a huge new software feature that was made possible by the new hardware (think of FaceTime for example that came with the front facing camera, or Dynamic Island t

I actually would riff on this idea more like "Even though corporations are made of of people, don't expect them to have the same attributes of a human being, like empathy or the concept of doing the right thing. Expect that their

Isn’t that illegal? like under consumer law maybe?

Didn’t Apple actually move to SQLite for their Pages/Numbers format? I remember reading years ago that it was rocky (the transition), but was maybe eventually smoothed out?

I followed the zed instructions and now I don't get any output anywhere. Almost as if it just stopped working.

Wow that looks WAY better in the picture than in the various screenshots (and google fonts) we're all looking at. It looks very clean and legible.

My main issue with claude code is running multiple ones in parallel. I don't want to manually do all the git worktree stuff, I just want claude to handle it for me. So if Zed automatically handles that (where there's a worktree pe

Excited to see this after the blog post a year ago – I didn't realize they were working out in the open, because I was wondering how that project was going. Any news on when we can start to use it in our editors?

I found the name to be perfect. Just a little fun. It also goes with the ex-prefix you see in libs sometimes.

I’m also wondering if the opposite will be true. That people might claim something is AI generated to discredit it?

They aren’t zero sum and international students pay often 2-5x what American and in state students pay. So they are subsidizing things as well. maybe not too much (because international students make up a tiny part of any university) but st

I wondered if it was something new, or that it was just the larger than average pull requests these days I have with AI coding. Good to know others are feeling it too, hopefully it can get resolved soon. In the mean time, i'll try my P

I don't follow, is that a counter-argument to my statement? That there exist people that can't afford that, so that makes it not a good deal?

When netbooks ($400 notebooks) were all the rage, Steve Jobs was asked why Apple didn’t make one. And he said they didn’t know how to make a cheap laptop that didn’t suck. And he was right. Netbooks mostly sucked. Same with Chromebooks. The

It’s not constraining care. It’s a single payer system. Think of there being one insurance company. This isn’t theoretical. Medicare already has been supporting the most frequent users of the system for decades. It’s a proven system with lo
