   Do Waymos pull off the road when honked at? That feels like a design flaw to me.

   I can't imagine what features anyone could add to VSCode that would convince me switch to it. I've used it, I hated it, I switched back. These AI enabled forks feel incredibly lazy to me.

   Ha, I read that sentence and thought "huh, but the US already has nukes". And Israel for that matter.

   It's genocide. And the reason we were using the word nazi for twenty years was to try to warn everyone what was happening, but nobody listened, and now you got nazis.

   The Guardian really can't be considered left of centre these days, they're basically just the PR wing of "Blue Labour", and even the not "blue" part of Labour is free-market right of centre. If you really want

   Ahh, I see what you mean now and yeah, I agree.

   Very true - and when I'm in the states mine is always referred to as a British accent. Or people think I'm Australian.

   Same. It feels like intentionally installing and using spyware at this point.

    As a Brit, let me tell you, there is no such thing as a British accent. Our accents vary wildly by region, and sometimes those regions can be under ten miles away, let alone the huge differences between the four home nations. My own is basi

    I'd never heard of these, they're very pretty. What's the image quality like?

    Mine is to respond immediately with a question that requires a long and technical answer that by the time they've finished writing has completely erased their question from their mind.

    Author could have used Substack itself as an example - it's a force multiplier for right wing conspiracy theories and propaganda.

    I'm in the UK and while nowhere near as mad as US news channels, it's definitely been heading in that direction for a while. Even the BBC, our publicly funded station is like it now thanks to several years of the far right campaig

    I totally get that, and agree to a degree. For me personally though, the news industry has become entertainment - TV news is hyperbolic, 24 hour breaking news for every story, newspapers (at least here in the UK) are little more than a pr

    Why? I went news cold turkey about 6 years ago and I'm very happy with that decision.

    Well, look at the etymology of the word "sinister". Sinister.

    All this fuss about which side the blue is on has made me think about the Finder icon for the first time ever, and I've decided I hate it, it's stupid. It doesn't convey the use of the Finder app at all, and worst of all, it&

    I don't think anyone is pretending it's a fringe position, but maybe people expect smart people to be smart. Personally I don't think many of the billionaire Silicon Valley set were supporting him ideologically, more that the

    I caught a bit of BBC news this morning saying "nobody expected just how badly this would end". Surely they meant "everybody".

    I was just at the start of the journey of moving our entire company over to Infomaniak from Google. Perfect timing. Anyone have suggestions for where to go instead?

    Aphantasic here and this article describes my experience perfectly too. I've wondered a lot about why my brother is able to recall entire sequences of memory from our childhoods and I've got, at best, snapshots that aren't ex

    Agreed. We use both Sentry and Bugsnag (or whatever terrible name it has now) on different projects, and over time Sentry's interface has gotten considerably worse while Bugsnags got slightly better. I don't know if Sentry is aime

    Yes, it's outrageous to suggest it's a majority of Israelis, when polling tells us that only 47% of Israeli nationals want to kill every single man, woman, and child in Gaza. That's nowhere near a majority. Mind you, 82% of f

    In Europe and Asia "American built car" is synonymous with "appalling build quality", and yet somehow Tesla managed to lower that bar.

    I've been using Claude 3.7 in Zed for a while, and I've found that I've been getting better at asking it to do things (including a lot of Django ORM stuff). Each project I work on I now have a `.context.md` that gives a decen
