At university in the UK it's almost always maximums rather than minimums. It's damn hard as well, you never get the word count you actually need to fully cover the subject and always end up desperately counting those last few as y

I've been on a similar journey this past month, although it sounds like mine went a little more successfully. I've managed to get a repo setup which contains a nix flake with nix-darwin configuration, and it also calls into some h

This is what I'd like to see as well. These collaboration tools are really good, but I barely use them because they always assume that you and your team are using the same editor. Most of the time that's just not the case, so I&#x

I live in a city in the UK and use the train to commute daily. Return travel on a peak train costs me £8.40 (arriving at work before 9am), and £6.50 if I go in after peak (arriving at work after 9am). Every year without fail this goes up by

Professionally, my team just made our big new launch of a feedback collection tool - https://www.sunbeam.cx/asklet . It tries to go just a little beyond the "give us a star rating" and collect some more detailed fe

The attempts at collaborative tools in Zed was always far more interesting to me than the AI stuff. Don't get me wrong, their AI stuff is nice and works well for me, but it's hardly necessary in an editor with how good Claude Code

I really like forgejo, but the git hosting bit is really just one feature for me. Their ci/cd runners, package repos and such are all things I need and forgejo includes in one nice bundle. If I was just using it for git hosting I'

The pace of new things coming to the ecosystem hasn't slowed at all, but it's happening beyond the language itself now. Just look at projects like Nx, LiveBook, Explorer, Flame, and Nerves. All are making big steps forward and rel

Yeah, I've come to realise that this is much more of a hobby for people than a genuine lifestyle. I think YouTube has caused a big increase in this. One bag, EDC, Ultralight - the videos are all completely the same. "Here's a

I found this a bit odd, especially when the author mentioned they lose their apple watch a lot so buy an older one. It feels peculiar to buy such an objectively expensive high end item when you know you constantly lose it, and barely use an

Token based pricing generally makes a lot of sense for companies like Zed, but it sure does suck for forecasting spend. Usage pricing on something like aws is pretty easy to figure out. You know what you're going to use, so you just do

The hubris on display in this article is wild, even for DHH. As a Brit, he's got no idea what he's on about. The bit about "the boats" is just a complete misunderstanding of the facts. If one is not from a country, has n

I disagree, the findings clearly show it as active malice rather than naive incompetence. From their findings, the company clearly did think about this stuff and tried to tick boxes while actively going around the rules. > In MrBeast’s 2

Large roundabouts are pretty safe, if you've gone through the learning process we have in the UK. I did about 30-40h of practical lessons with an instructor, over half of which would have included multi-lane roundabouts. The lights con

I've been using the tidewave plugin for a bit now, this browser addition seems pretty cool. I'm curious about the pricing though. It says we need to provide our own github copilot or anthropic keys, but there's then a limit o

From the UK you get "Explore your rules like a London detective" which barely makes sense, and is an immediately makes me think it will be useless.

I've done this for so many issues in the past and not once have I had anything more than an automated reply. Often those replies then go on and reference a totally different bill that I'm voicing an opinion on. This isn't all

Your comment is pretty meaningless without more specifics. I switched to Firefox again back in 2017, I have 0 issues with it. If anything it's faster and less resources hungry than chrome in my usage. The extension ecosystem is now arg

This doesn't happen for me when clicking around sites like HN or my blog, both are server side rendered and I'm on a pretty flakey connection right now. Browsers solved this a long time ago with how they deal with page changes.

This is really nice, thanks for sharing it! Unrelated to the project itself, the animating background on the blog made reading the article really difficult. I ended up deleting it in the HTML just to be able to focus on the content.

On the website / app this is using - it looks like a nice approach to consuming these papers, but I really wish they'd also provide the link to the original source paper. In an age where you can't trust anything anymore, bein

I'm on the free plan and have been using it via GitHub copilot instead, as the current project is a work one and they pay for that. Before this I did a small project and I hit the 50 free tier limit through Zed by the time I was about

This last few weeks I've been going hard on LLMs to put together a new prototype project. I've exclusively been using Claude Sonnet 3.7 within Zed (via github copilot) and it' fantastic. From time to time it tries to do somet

I'd be interested to hear how you find staying away from them as the years progress. My experience so far is that they write mediocre code which is very often correct, and is relatively easy to review and improve. Of course I work with
