This is the kind of assertion without evidence that just muddies the waters. “All kinds” of people is so vague as to be an almost entirely vacuous category and “routine” means almost nothing without an actual quantification of how prevalent

What really drives me nuts is smart TVs with 100mbps Ethernet connections. When I bought a tv we looked in vain for gigabit Ethernet.

That’s bonkers. I’m on the east coast (not nyc) and a quarter pounder medium meal is $10.49. Meanwhile Five Guys is $20.29 for a regular meal.

Mac prices on eBay are sort of bizarre. Back when I was looking (when you could still purchase a new one in a reasonable timeframe) many of the higher end listings cost as much or more (!) then just getting them from Apple. I ended up buyin

I'm beating a dead horse here but the challenge is a11y. Chromium wrappers get a11y for free; bespoke UI frameworks must implement accesskit (or something) which is a lot of work and something that (imo sadly) many small teams decide i

I took a look at gpui-component a while ago when assessing GPUI for a project I was working on. IANAL but was dissuaded because it's almost certainly not compliant with the Zed license--gpui-component "borrows" gpui code patt

The existence of a soundness bug in the typechecker doesn’t refute the value of soundness as a language design contract. If anything it’s the opposite: issues demonstrated by cve-rs are _language bugs_ and are _fixable_ in principle. “Safe

What’s wrong with printers? Imagine designing a laser that bounces off of mirror spinning at 20k+ rpm while coordinating with a paper feeder. Sounds pretty cool to me

I don't think it's something special about my workflow and more the application area--I'm writing a lot of Lean lately and particularly knotty proofs can take quite a lot of time. Long thinking intervals are more of a bug tha

I used Gemini CLI for a while because it was free to me. The primary reason I stopped was because it wasn't very good, but their "thinking summaries" didn't help matters. They were model generated and just said things to

This is a CC harness thing than a model thing but the "new" thinking messages ('hmm...', 'this one needs a moment...') are extraordinarily irritating. They're both entirely uninformative and strictly worse

I know this is grumpy but this I’ve never liked this answer. It is a perfect encapsulation of the elitism in the SO community—if you’re new, your questions are closed and your answers are edited and downvoted. Meanwhile this is tolerated on

Small businesses accounts were/are also subject to ring fencing, and my recollection is that large banks sought to recover the costs of ringfencing rules via charges on large clients. Come to think of it this was all also at the time o

by bayesnet 8mo ago
This is arguable for HSBC (in the UK at least). Ringfencing laws post 2008 have made customer deposits in the UK very difficult to invest profitably, to the point where (at least last time I cared about this) they were charging commercial c

It’s kind of sad IMO. Bartosz has made a ton of these super interesting and meticulously designed explainers. Something thrown together with AI is much more likely to be made by someone who doesn’t know what they’re talking about, and I’m w

> I have no idea what the mov rcx, rsp instruction is for. The rcx register is not read anywhere after that. Anyone have any ideas? I’m surprised that the compiler emits a “useless” instruction at -o3.

Ok I just had to look this up. There’s a kernel of truth but I didn’t find evidence of genital mutilation: “Sometimes the boys were whipped or violently bumped on the boundary stones to make them remember”( “Beating the bounds”: https:&#x2

Genuinely curious—what parts of Windows 11 do you like? I can’t find a single redeeming quality compared to W10, but admittedly I daily drive arch + macOS and only occasionally use my windows machine.

IMHO this is both unnecessarily pedantic and not really quite right. Let’s say we accept the premise that “everything is a value” means reduction is impossible. But a value is just the result of reducing a term until it is irreducible (a no

It should actually be “Layer 3: Paid, ad-free, asbestos free, subscription-based search”. Come on. I don’t think it’s productive to make decisive and conspiratorial declarations on the future of Kagi search because they didn’t use the magi

This is exactly how eBay bidding works now. Sniping still works because your satisfaction with the outcome of an auction isn’t just determined by “I got the item below my price ceiling” but by _how much_ below my price ceiling I got the i

But this is literally the point of MCF: third-party logistics for selling off-Amazon. All these brands chose not to sell on Amazon for one reason or another and yet, without explicit opt-in, were being surfaced on a marketplace they didn’t

I haven’t tried this out yet but my gripe with pandoc is that it produces latex (and typst) that no human would ever write. It looks messy and is annoying to share with coauthors. This is not to say that pandoc isn’t a fantastic tool.

I recently had a baby. My wife and I are not on socials but wanted to share pics with close friends and family, so we created an iCloud shared album. We only realized that these shared albums had likes and comments once someone asked us if

I wasn’t aware of the efail disclosure timeline. Apparently Koch responds to the report by noting that GPG prints an error when MDC is stripped, which has eerie parallels to the justification behind the recent gpg.fail WONTFIX response (see

I have an Equinox EV which, as I understand it, just runs Android and has no CarPlay or AAuto support. I thought that I would miss CarPlay but I don’t at all from a UX point of view. What I do miss is the carefree feeling that I can drive s
