He’s been fairly open and public recently about his relationship with “edgy” art, his feeling that it didn’t destroy any hidden hypocrisy, and regret for it’s legacy of a coarser society. I don’t mean to express any apologies he didn’t make

TS type formatting is an unpleasant language to write in, but it’s touring complete and not that different from C++ type formatting. Writing complex statements in it is just like complex statements in any language - break it down to underst

This seems like a rose colored look at SO. I'm sure the candor was a little bit more pleasant than usenet, but I'm not sure it was ever a free flowing Q&A. From the beginning the founders were pretty clear that a "read th

How would parking requirements solve that? Would parents drive to the school and then leave the car with their preschoolers?

The Reds were defending the actual existing microorganisms on Mars, that were guaranteed to lose out to lifeforms engineered to terraform the planet. It's a harsh position to hold when weighed against human life, but there's somet

That’s because of Ralph Nader and the FDIC, obviously.

Science has discovered that the age of 25 is when neuroplasticity starts to decline. So what? There's a lot of argumentation needed to link that physical threshold with legal restriction. It seems like you're arguing that people s

Because at 18 people are responsible for their own actions, and restricting them after that is unreasonable and contrary to personal freedom. There's a consistent factoid going around that brains aren't done developing until the a

You're liable under the ADA everywhere in the US. Florida and New York are the big federal courts where people bring these cases. If it's found that you have created a barrier to accessing services, you can be sued. The US doesn&#

This seems like a boon to credential stuffing attacks. Given a list of passwords and email addresses, having a well known, email keyed URL would allow an attacker to quickly find if any of the emails have an account on the service, before g

Casting at all really solidly puts it in that group. The idea that there’s a program and a type system and you tell the type system when it’s diverged from the program doesn’t really work in the other group of languages.

It's comparing static typing as exists in Haskell or OCaml to static typing as exists in C++ or Typescript. To dynamically type a program in the first group, you would have to manually make a giant type that includes everything and use

This is a great distinction! With typescript getting wider use, I've found myself frustrated by the limitations of bolt on type systems. Knowing how deep the divide is from languages with fully inferrable types gives me more appreciati

Most chatbots previous to now ran on "intention detection" - basically a machine learning tool that would try to stuff the customer's free form input into a fixed set of options, and then would reply on script to that. Effect

We're probably past the point in the web where formative experiments with layout are useful for most people, and most situations can be handled with a light CMS. That still leaves room for massive variance and personal control. Even ju

I think the term here is plaigarism. Changing random words and shuffling clauses around so the auto checker doesn't flag it while keeping the sentence by sentence structure of someone else's work.

Epic suffered pretty hard vs Apple when internal memos came out that Epic was intentionally breaking app store rules to get a strike, with the intent to sue over that strike. That's the kind of thing that a jury is more likely to let s

I've largely come to a workflow of creating a feature branch and periodically merging main out to that branch. When it's done, I use the github squash and merge feature to bring changes back in. Cutting non-ancestor rebases out of

Like many use cases for LLMs, this seems like it would benefit a lazy student trying to avoid work. Rolling in some statements that are related but not mentioned in the input isn't a bad thing when you're studying for a test. Howe

First line diagnosis is one of the hardest things we expect doctors to do. It's unlikely to fund a unicorn though, because it's also one of the least well paid activities for a doctor.

Many people with ADHD suffer from rejection sensitive dysphoria - often an unexpected "no" will wreck their day. Limiting dependence on others and over-preparing for a big ask is a way to protect their own mental well being.

A good example of this is operations type stuff, like the pile of shell scripts or terraform files or whatever that get used to deploy your app. These scripts benefit greatly from a one to one relationship between the thing you're crea

The way to ethically handle this is to have a clear and contractual minimum number of billed hours in a day. That will get you paid well for built in efficiencies like OP mentioned, and keep you paid fairly on more substantial change reques

Reading this, I am absolutely sure that several of my former employers have done a little djinn based outsourcing.

The spirit of human creativity is unstoppable and always building off itself. I’d just like to see a world where instead of being hard to find, creating the good stuff pays the rent.

I pipe things into pbcopy and out of pbpaste at least five times a day. I wish linux had a similar way to interact with the clipboard from the terminal in less than 10 characters.

I think if we want to talk about the actual value of messy human processes, you're on the nose. The problem is that large, entrenched industries can function using a distorted, rationalized model for a lot longer than any of us can aff

The silly part of this is that the industries he compares software to - music, television, movies - have all been skeletonized and reduced to minimal and repeatable products. Simply looking out the door should be enough to convince you that
