Children in overpopulated countries like India have been living with their parents for generations. Now that children are leaving the house in those countries, the growth rate is decreasing. I doubt living with parents is affecting reproduc

It's not just an "editor". Both Windsurf and Cursor do some tricks with context so that the underlying LLM doesn't get confused. Besides, writing a script sounds hard, no need to spend the extra energy when you can simpl

Lately I switched to using a triple monitor setup and coding with both Cursor and Windsurf. Basically, the middle monitor has my web browser that shows the front-end I'm building. The left monitor has Cursor, and right one has Windsurf

Well put. Now that we're trying to replace jobs with AI, just like we replaced jobs with software before, it's becoming less clear what "purpose" actually means. Once we have the surplus of resources, but no job, I wonde

They're not even good for gaming. Paying $1000 for cards that allow you to play games at low settings sounds like something uninformed people do.

Definitely an option. Depending on where you live, it might be possible to maintain the same skin color year round.

What about Mike Tyson's. Looks pretty good to me. Head tattoos are quite cool too. This Youtuber's ( https://www.youtube.com/@Gratitude.Driven ) tattoos are pure art for example.

Yea my tattoo artist told me that some skin surfaces can't be tattooed but mine was just a weird looking pattern. Could be about skin cancer or macrophages that feed on the ink.

I got it covered but I thought about getting a more elaborate design at some point. I wanted something minimalist as my first tattoo to see how it does. Now that I like tattoos I'm gonna experiment more in the future. It's definit

I got a tattoo to cover a birth mark a while ago. I used to be nervous about people seeing the mark before, now I enjoy people looking at my tattoo instead. I think tattoos are cool because it's art where your body is the canvas. Pure

Alto is one hell of a car. Its tiny size allows easy parking in crowded places, and it sips fuel so that you can spend money on better things.

You have great friends but not everyone will be as lucky to find the right crowd to hang out with. If you grow up in a neighborhood with lots of criminals and people with lower socio-economic status, I would bet that you'd live a bette

Having friends is great but not "having" to have them is also great, which is what individualism allows us to do. Many people get in trouble by hanging out with the wrong crowd. Many people also become wealthy by hanging out with

Thai authorities can also arrest and jail you if you leave bad reviews on Google maps. If you visit Thailand it's best not to say anything but positive things about the country on social media.

The MSRP doesn't make sense because since the crypto boom, we've seen that people are willing to pay way more for GPUs. Now with the AI boom it's even more obvious. $4,000 is a reasonable price in the US because of the high i

You meet a lot of weirdos while contracting. I once had a client send me chocolate instead of a bank transfer. I ate the chocolate but still fired him. Surprisingly, he couldn't understand why I was being so immature.

You could try Cline. But mono repos suck with LLMs right now because context windows are too small. This might be fixed once Google releases Gemini 2.5 Pro with 2 million tokens limit. But even then, large code bases will still hit a limit

No idea. Maybe it cleared the cache when I asked to enter safe mode. Either way, relying on a cache to get root access doesn't seem right.
